Cozy Pine feels like a hidden gem I almost don't want to share. But after the evening we had, I…read morecan't help but spill every delicious detail. The moment you walk in, you're wrapped in warm, cozy pine--wood-paneled walls, soft amber lighting, and that unmistakable speakeasy charm. Its very small and cozy, resembling a night out camping. And then there's Angelina. From the moment we sat down, she made the experience absolutely unforgettable. She knew the menu inside and out, recommended a smoked old-fashioned that came with a toasted marshmallow. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does--and it shows. She's the secret ingredient that turns a good night into a great one!

Okay this is officially the only kind of camping I'm willing to do…read more Tucked inside Bacchus Wine Bar is the cutest little camping-themed speakeasy, and it completely exceeded expectations. From the moment you walk in, it's giving cozy campsite vibes but elevated -- like if camping had good lighting, great cocktails, and zero bugs. We had such a fun night here. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a whole experience, not just drinks. We tried a few of their specialty cocktails, all super well done, but the real highlight was our server John. He was amazing -- attentive, fun, and clearly knows his drinks. At one point he made us an off-menu cocktail that was STRONG (in the best way) and honestly one of my favorites of the night. And the attention to detail?? He even let me borrow his hat for photos so I could fully commit to the camping aesthetic 10/10 for the vibes. Overall: such a cute, unique spot for a night out. Perfect for something a little different, a little playful, and definitely memorable. Would absolutely come back -- as long as it's this kind of camping.

We have been here over a dozen times since our first trip. Let me just say we were blown away then,…read moreand still blown away now. Stowaway is easily becoming a top go-to restaurant for several reasons. The food is island themed, fresh and even most appetizers are easily splittable. Drinks are strong and crafted to aloha perfection, every time! Hands down our top place for date nights or when we take family from out of town, yes it's that impressive. And don't forget to ask what tiki mugs are in stock and available for purchase, they make for great mementos and gifts. Make a reservation to Stowaway, bring some friends and believe me you'll be coming back for more. Great job Stowaway team! Mahalo!

The drink menu had a lot of unique cocktails on it which I thought was pretty cool. I went for this cocktail called the purple pancake and it ended up being delicious.

Cocktails are about $20 each.

My friend and I both got the autumn salad: mine with a crab cake, hers with steak. Another friend ordered the steak and fries. My salad was fantastic, and the crab cake (both as a topping and as a starter) was a hit across the table. Everyone was happy with their food. Cocktails: The current theme is classic cocktails, and the space definitely leans into that old school martini bar vibe, very classy. Drinks were solid. I ordered the mango cocktail (can't remember the name) and it was a little on the sweet side, but not overly so. Still enjoyable. Service: This is really why I'm writing the update. Erica was our server and she was AWESOME. She noticed my friend's steak was overcooked and immediately replaced it even though he said he'd eat it because he was starving. That kind of attention and care is rare. Someone please give her a raise. Parking: They validate if you park in the Marriott lot Vibe: For a Thursday night, it was surprisingly busy in the lounge, in a good way. Tons of people out and about adding to that chill, lively Thursday evening energy. I loved the blue glow from the outdoor fire pits. Next time, I'm definitely taking my YNK drink outside for a few sips.

Definitely in my top 3 brunch places in OC! This is a restaurant that changes their menu seasonally…read more- their food is DELICIOUS, EXCEPTIONAL, EXQUISITE, ALL THE THINGS. This is a place where you bond with complete strangers over the flavor. When I ate their Parker house rolls, I looked over at the table next to me as they waited to see my reaction - we looked at each other nearly teary eyed. Love the menu because in addition to the flavor, they have unique items you can't get anywhere else...our waitress is a sauce girly like me and gave us some baked potato aioli for our French fries....I MEAN?!? Enough said on the food... Bonuses are the location is lovely and service was great. Parking Advice and PSA: Enter the garage from Dupont - if you enter from Teller and don't have monthly access, you will suffer from backing out of the long entrance onto a busy 2-way street. Solstice....you guys are killing it! Wish you continued success. I will be back many many many times.

There were maybe 3 tables taken up and they said to my face they don't have a waitlist. Walk away, gave them a call and they said they have a waitlist... crazy work lying to my face. Pretty sure u can accommodate a small party that's literally right there when u have open seats and ur reservations aren't even showing up. Food has been great in the past but respectfully, front staff handled that poorly. Good riddance

A huge thank you to Casey with Private Events, who was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. We had several changes leading up to the event, and Casey was responsive, accommodating, and made sure every detail was covered so we could feel confident everything would run smoothly. The service during the event was equally outstanding. Jedd and Michele went above and beyond to ensure our event flowed seamlessly. They were attentive, proactive, and always one step ahead in helping with anything we needed. Their support made a huge difference and allowed us to focus on enjoying the event and our guests. Also, a special shoutout to Kait behind the bar who was so bubbly, kind, and brought such a positive energy to the evening. The food, atmosphere, and service all made for a fantastic experience. If you're looking for a venue for private events or just a great dining experience, Bosscat Kitchen Irvine is an excellent choice. We're grateful to the entire team and look forward to coming back!

This was my second time visiting this restaurant -- my first visit was years ago -- and I came back…read moreto celebrate a friend's birthday. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere were great, but unfortunately the hostess experience kept it from being a full 5-star night. I had a 7:30 reservation and arrived at 7:35, but waited nearly 10 minutes before being acknowledged. The hostess was quite rude and told me we had lost our table because we were "late," even though I had been standing there waiting to be helped. She eventually seated us at a dirty table and the overall interaction felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. Thankfully, our server Omar completely turned the night around -- he was kind, attentive, and very helpful. The manager Dave was also amazing and made sure we were taken care of. The food and drinks were excellent. The cocktails were delicious, the hummus with warm pita was fantastic (definitely ask for extra bread!), and the melted cheese with toasted bread was a highlight. The fries were uniquely cut and perfectly cooked, and the calamari was top-notch. The view and ambiance make this a great place to relax with friends over tapas and drinks. I would come back again for the quality of the food, the beautiful setting, and the wonderful service from Omar -- but I do hope management addresses the front-host experience, as it really sets the tone for the evening.
