This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

We arrived on a Saturday night to celebrate my coworkers promotion and birthday. The hostess asked…read moreif we made a reservation before hand which we had not but would be able to seat us in like 15-20mins. We sat at the bar inside for the restaurant but there was a smaller enclosed area which was the speakeasy. My coworker ordered a margarita from the bar. It was mainly ice and the alcohol content was lacking in his opinion. Once there was a table available we were brought inside a cabin themed area. We ordered from the menu: Bug Juice, Devils Postpile and non alcoholic Black Cherry Bomb. The wait for the drinks was around 15-20mins and were prepared by what we believed was the same bar for the restaurant outside. The only difference was the drinks were made themed for the speakeasy. Overall the service was ok. The drinks and dessert were average. My coworkers did feel that their drinks were more on the sweeter side than just tasting much of the alcohol. A cute concept idea but did feel like the overall experience was alittle lacking with food and drinks. Parking wasn't a problem it's in a plaza with other restaurants and shops.

They have Rombauer, which was nice. It's very nice when you ask for a Chardonnay and the bar has a choice let alone a nice bottle. Well done. Their food menu skews heavy to meat eaters but if you eat pescatarian you'll have a good amount of options. I don't think vegans will have any options so maybe eat at home first. I ordered the shrimp tacos with extra cheese. They're tiny but overfilled so you definitely need a fork to dig into them. Overall a nice spot for some casual conversation and to watch the game or grab a quick bite. It's a bit hot inside, though, so maybe they can turn on the a/c in the summer.

I actually didn't stay overnight, but I was in the area and Google Maps recommended the restaurant, so I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did! The manager, Julie, recommended the poke bowl and a drink (I unfortunately forgot the name), and I decided to give them a try. I absolutely loved them! My husband ordered the burger with a fried egg on it because he's a huge burger guy, and he still talks about--and craves--that burger to this day! I've already recommended this place to all of my friends who live around Irvine, and I'll definitely be coming back for happy hour. I'm also planning to book a night here next time. Great food, beautiful and clean hotel, and genuinely friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Because of the way they store the wine bottles the table was hidden from view until we were right next to it. It made for the perfect surprise when she walked in.

When it came to dessert they surprised my sister with a a little something so we could all terrorize her with our singing voices. Overall we had a great meal with excellent service.

A solid plate of pasta that delivers exactly what you want from a Bolognese.

It's tucked into a strip mall, but don't let the exterior fool you--the moment you step through the doors, you're transported into a polished, high-end fine dining experience that rivals any top spot in the county. ​Every single detail here is executed with precision. The depth of flavor in the dishes, the stunning plate presentation, and the extensive, beautifully curated wine list are all top-tier. What truly sets The Winery apart, though, is the service. The care and genuine warmth from the entire team are exceptionally rare these days. ​A highlight of our evening was meeting William, one of the owners. He was so gracious, knowledgeable, and giving of his time, sharing fascinating insights about the origins and vision of the restaurant. ​Pro Tip: Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, planning a date night, or just looking for an unforgettable meal, book a table here. It is truly one of Orange County's absolute best-kept secrets, and you will not be disappointed!

I can't remember the owners names, but they've all been working together for so long - making this restaurant such a homey, cozy, and welcoming environment. We can't wait to come back after work again.

Come in and do a tasting for yourself and be sure to follow them on Instagram and come to one of their events.

Come here - both for the people and the wine! Every once in a while, they will do what they call a mystery six pack. These are a fantastic deal with 6 reds, 6 whites, or a mix and you get this at a discounted price. Lastly... Be ready to hear some really cheesy jokes from the owner Chuck.
