    Saw the reviews and came in with high expectations of Terrace Kitchen. Set in the middle of an office complex, the food is probably closer to what you would expect from such a setting. There are different stations (pizza, salad/bowls, sandwiches where you place your order. We ordered a shrimp salad sandwich and the Korean pork sandwich, which at $14 seemed like a reasonable price. The shrimp sandwich was light on shrimps, so the price was not the deal I thought it was. The Korean pork sandwich with spicy pork bulgogi, corn cheese, gochujang aioli and pickled cucumbers sounded like a win, but the pork became burned when it was grilled in a pool of oil. Maybe I came on an off day, because I can imagine that this would be really tasty if executed properly. The pizza and salad combo seemed to be pretty popular with the office workers. I'm guessing this is the move here. There's a nice outdoor patio where you can eat.

    Enjoyed lunch with my husband during his lunch break and it was a great spot for a healthy option. We enjoyed the salad bowls, a salmon and a steak. All the ingredients are very fresh, it's a good variety and well prepared!

    Review is for Verve Coffee Roasters. A small coffee shop in a business center that sharing space with three other restaurants. I orderd their Decaf Spanish Latte which is espresso, condensed milk, and cinnamon. It tasted delightful, with its cinnamon goodness, sweet tasting, but not over powering. Kind of reminds me of a churro, but in drink form. The place is small, but the shared outside seating more than makes up for it. Very comfortable seating with a nice breeze. The service was great, not too busy in the morning, so I was able to have a small chat with the barista, which he was friendly and offered swift service.

    Came here for our holiday breakfast and this place didn't disappoint. We had avocado toast, breakfast burritos and croissant sandwiches. They're so delicious. As for the drinks, the matcha latte with a pump of lavender syrup was outstanding. Our barista was so nice and gave a great recommendation. This place was nicely decorated for the holidays and we'll come back next time

    Clean quick service breakfast and lunch place that's convenient for office buildings nearby. Lots of menu choices with different stations to order. Has comfortable and cozy outdoor seating with nice view of grassy area and blue skies. Compostable packaging available. Venue is also available for hosted events in the early evenings.

    This place has you order from a kiosk that gives you a number, and they don't call the numbers in order. I ordered my food, and the guy was calling numbers out of order as I was in the front waiting for my number and he called people below my number and people before and people who were just ordering. When I asked him after helping a guy 5 numbers ahead of me he literally lied in front of my face and said oh I called that number and I told him I've been here since I ordered. I work in the buildings next to this place, never coming back. The reason says want happy, but it was for not being called or acknowledged until I had to call the guy out to his face and lying and not doing his job

    Beautiful location that is open during breakfast and lunch hours, and available for special events after hours. I attended a special event where the beautiful charcuterie board and beverages were prepared by Terrace Kitchen. It was nicely set up in their comfortable outdoor and covered terrace, so you can enjoy the nice breeze without direct sunlight.

    The pizza was good on the spot. Not my personal preference since it was a bit tick and too hot to enjoy all the flavors. But I can't complain at $14 and being the only food in Spectrum Terrace. Service was quick since you can order directly on the kiosk.

But I finally got to stop in on a PTO day at around 9:30 am. There was zero line and we were able to walk right up to the counter.

We ordered a strawberry soufflé pancake and a breakfast burrito with carne asada. The pancake was delightfully jiggly, fluffy, and the perfect level of sweet. The burrito was pretty big with plenty of meat and a good flavor. Very good experience overall and would definitely recommend!

The soufflés took a little longer. By the time my Starbucks drink was done, our soufflés were brought out to our table. This was my first time trying Japanese pancake soufflé so wanted to get the original. It did not disappoint! It was light, fluffy, and reminded me of custard. Not too sweet either. By the time we left, it was closer to lunch time and it started getting more crowded. I would like to come back and try their lunch menu sometime. I can see why this place is packed on weekends. Lots of choices and so far everything was delish!

    First time at this Irvine location, as I've had the Rancho Cucamonga location twice…read more The food here was really good. Our table ended up getting the calamari and deviled eggs to start, both of which were good. The only thing I would knock about the apps were the portion size compared to the price, specifically for the calamari. The portion was pretty small and was about 20 dollars. The quality wasn't any better than any other chain restaurant, so I don't think the price was justified based on the quality, but it was good nonetheless. For entrees, our party got a variety of dishes, including the shrimp pasta, the salmon sandwich, the brisket, the burger, and the chicken parm. From what I heard from everyone, the food was great and there were no complaints. Again, the only gripe was the price vs quality of food. The price being paid, you would expect some sort of fine dining experience and quality, especially if you order from the house specialties section of the menu, but the quality was just good, nothing outstanding that would warrant a fine dining price. If the prices were lowered to match the actual quality of the food and service, then I would give 5 stars, but overall, it was just an alright/good experience. Parking at the Spectrum can be a bit tough, depending on the time of day. I'd recommend parking in the large structure and then walking. It is between 5-10 minute walk from the large structure.

    This experience started off very negatively--so much so that I almost left. That said, I work in…read morethe industry myself, so I understand that things happen and I try to give a lot of grace. I was seated on the patio because I had my dog, and since we were the only ones outside, it seemed like no one realized we were there. No one came by to greet us or check on us for over 15 minutes until the manager noticed and took my order. This is where the experience really turned around. The manager apologized for the inconvenience, took ownership of the delay, and even offered a discount because he was aware of what had happened and genuinely wanted to make it right. That kind of accountability is uncommon and really stood out to me. The server I eventually had, Claire, was awesome. She was warm, friendly, and connected with us really well. Even Jess, who covered for her during her break, was great. Jess also suggested the peanut butter brew as a float with ice cream, and that was a very solid recommendation. Overall, I have to give them props for the recovery. I just wish the recovery hadn't been necessary in the first place. I've sat on the patio with my dog before, and the same thing has happened where the initial greeting is very slow. A couple of suggestions: the patio could probably use a little more frequent cleaning, and adding some bistro lights might make the outdoor area feel more inviting and encourage more people to sit outside. All in all, the staff did a great job turning around what started as a frustrating experience, and I appreciate the effort they made to make it right.
