    Recently had a group lunch with a team of 10 on a Friday at opening and didn't want to go to the spectrum. Matt (manager) was a rock star! He really took care of our group. I called a week before to see if we could make a reservation for the patio area, and upon arrival the table was setup and ready to go. This spot was perfect for our team as it had plenty of parking (we went during a week day before the club studio or orange theory rush). Our group had no issues opening up a tab and ordering food at the register upon arrival. The menu variety was great, even with our group that had various dietary restrictions (nut allergy, gluten free, seafood allergy, vegetarian, etc.). Such a great experience with tasty food and drinks. Would recommend for other corp lunches if you want to try something different from the usual spectrum offerings and do not need the traditional order at your table style.

    Excellent Turkish breakfast, such an underrated restaurant in OC. Manager and staff are very nice and professional. They even brought more bread without requesting it. Highly recommend!

    We came here with a group of 10 people and had no trouble finding a place to sit for lunch. Ordering is pretty straightforward, and there's a display with desserts. I appreciate how they have a decent kids' menu - my boys loved it! I tried the fried calamari, ahi poke bowl, rice pudding, and another dessert that had pistachio (I don't see it on the menu, but it was in the display case). The calamari was really good - I like the breading on it. Nice and crispy and thin. The poke was also pretty good. I should have asked for the dressing on the side, but oh well! The fish was really good, and I had it with quinoa. All of the toppings were great as well. Nice balance all around. But the sleeper hit was the rice pudding. So unassuming at first, but after that first bite - yum! Several people at our table said it was probably the best thing we tried during lunch. So smooth and such a great flavor. Not too sweat at all. And it looks like they might have brulee'd it first? Not entirely sure, but very tasty. Service was decent, and there's plenty of parking in the plaza.

    Looking for a healthy place to eat in the area. My husband found this place. they have a lot of varieties in their menu-mediterranean mostly. i ordered their thai salmon and hubby ordered grilled mahi mahi with french fries and grilled zucchini. the dressing on my thai salmon and the salad is delish. it has mandarin, apple, carrots and nuts. The service is great and the restaurant is clean. Lots of sitting area. The outside sitting is covered with grapevines. ait feels lime you are at the winery kind of vibes.

    Salmon, Brussels, Brown Rice. (22)  Only thing I order here.

    Flies, Flies, and more Flies last Saturday Evening. Enter the restaurant at approximately 6 pm on one of the hottest days of the year and both doors were wide open and it was hot inside the restaurant. No A/C on! Asked the waitress why no A/C on such a hot day and she said manager decided not to turn it on. I can't believe they were making employees--especially ones in the kitchen work under these conditions!? It was over 80 degrees in there--probably about 85 really. I was already perspired from the day hauling stuff so I was okay with it. Ordered my Salmon and sat down inside. As soon as the Salmon plate was placed on the table, not one, not two, not three but a team of flies converged on my food. Both big and small flies. I swatted them away and they came back with a vengeance, some flying together in teams. Those little flies stood their ground on the table around my Salmon and refused to move. Now I am wondering how many flies are in the kitchen? Maybe stirred up in the food? That's not a spice I want! I could not get a bite without flies attacking so I picked up my stuff and sat outside on the patio. One fly came by occasionally but not as bad as the infestation inside. I am wondering if this restaurant has an owner on the premises regularly and the competency of the manager? Does the owner know what is going on? Something was very wrong here. The restaurant is behaving like like they will be turning the lights out soon and can't afford A/C? Really cutting costs to stay in business? But I hope not because I really like the Salmon here, but I am not going to be able to return for a while because I am concerned about all the flies. One fly OK, but not the amount of flies they had in that place. Those leaves outside on the patio generate flies and bugs, so it's important to keep the restaurant doors closed at all times and A/C on when hot. They do have a fly zapper inside, but it was not doing the job or overwhelmed? Sorry to report this debacle.

    Love this place! Irvine hidden gem! They have a vast and tasteful menu. The staff are very polite and welcoming and they have a ton of daily specials and events. Checks all the boxes whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a place to lounge and eat / drink

    OC Fish Grill Great Food & Jazz A couple of month's ago a friend turned me onto the O C Fish Grill. Since then, Eve & I have been there for dinner and fantastic Jazz every Friday night from 7:00 to 9:30. Generally the musicians are a quintet consisting of keyboard, bass,(upright or guitar or both), drums, sax and trumpet. Often there are guest artists sitting in with other instruments and vocalists. They have been playing this gig for more than six years. The leader of the group is Karim Yengsep, DMA, of the SoCalJazz Collective and Academy in Lake Forest, teaching Jazz techniques and instruments to all ages and abilities. If you wish to develop or increase your musical skills, I just searched for SoCal Jazz Academy. Click on SoCal Jazz Academy. There are other listings that have expired. The food is very good, with generous portions and is inexpensive. The most expensive item on the menu is $27.00. We have ordered the Fish & Chips for me and various Tapas/Tacos for Eve. The 3 Fish portions with my order were the largest I have ever seen. The three ladies at the table next to us ordered a single Fish & Chips, dividing the meal portions equally amongst themselves. Last week we decided to have the Grilled Salmon Salad w/ Mixed Greens, tomatoes, daikon sprouts, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, cranberries, and red onions, with our usual glass of wine. We have occasionally ordered the $4.00 side salad. It is large delicious and can easily be shared. For non fish diners, there is a variety of chicken dinners. My personal favorite is the $19.00 Grilled Chicken Salad with the same salad Ingredients as the Grilled Salmon dinner. We haven't tried the Citrus Salad with Grilled Chicken yet, but it looks interesting. The dessert menu is varied and has a middle eastern flavor as well as chocolate items. The drink menu includes nice choices of wine, beer, coffee based lattes etc, teas, various soft drinks. Go on line O C Fish Grill and check the menu. The address is 5789 Alton Parkway, Irvine, (949) 988-7002 in the Oak Creek Shopping Center. Drive straight down the 405 South to the Jeffery/University off ramp, turn left to Alton, (the Citibank on the SE corner,) go through the light and turn right at the first driveway, proceed to the far south-west end of the parking lot. I was surprised how light the south bound traffic was, 60-75 MPH most of the way to Jeffery. The north bound traffic was a mess. It is best to try to arrive around 6:30.

    HH Fish tacos

    If you're trying to eat healthy, OC Fish Grill is a decent choice. It's counter service, with indoor and outdoor seating on their large patio. OC Fish Grill has a Taco Tuesday, where three tacos are $12. Tacos are normally $5-$7 each, so this is a deal! The tacos all have to be the same and you can choose from chicken, whitefish, shrimp and salmon. I would recommend the salmon over the shrimp, as the salmon tacos are quite large compared to the shrimp - a much better bang for your buck! They also offer the same three taco price during Happy Hour. I've also ordered the grilled tilapia, which comes with two sides. Their brussels sprouts are good but they go a little overboard on the balsamic vinegar. Plenty of parking in the lot.

    I got the grilled salmon plate and was pleasantly surprised by how much fish came with it. Typically, when I go out to eat--especially for salmon dishes--they give you only a tiny piece. But this place gave two decently sized pieces, which was very filling, especially for the price I paid. The taste wasn't too strong, which I liked. It was just lightly seasoned, so it was pretty good as is. The veggies that came with it were grilled--I chose the Brussels sprouts. Overall, everything was pretty good, and this is exactly the type of dinner I usually go for. I was surprised the place was so empty, considering how good the food is. I'm definitely coming back to try some of the other dishes.

    The location is great and very accessible, unfortunately, my ahi tuna was SEVERELY overcooked and dry as a bone. I had ordered extra Cajun sauce which I never got and it was very hard to try and get the attention of a worker. I had previously tried the fish and chips and they were great with a fantastic portion size but this time it was just not a good experience.

The brunch menu was limiting, with only a few egg dishes, sandwiches, and breads. The French toast and waffle were nearly $20 each despite the small portions and standard toppings. *French Toast: the worst item of the meal. The bread had no flavor or egginess and left a strange sandy mouthfeel. The interior was so dry that it soaked up all the moisture in my mouth. A poor showing for a classic French toast. *Waffle: the batter was slightly sweetened but felt too dense. The fruit was fresh, although nothing about the toppings or overall quality stood out. *Steak Frites: hanger steak topped with chimichurri and fries. It was supposed to come with bernaise sauce, but I did not receive any. The steak leaned closer to rare rather than the medium rare I asked for. However, it was still tender, and the chimichurri was vibrant and herbaceous. I wished more sauce had been applied, as the dish was a bit dry. The fries were decent, though I would have preferred more crunch. Given the long wait, I expected much more from the dishes in terms of flavor and execution. I was disappointed by how flavorless and dry everything was.
