    This is a little bar inside Whole Foods. I attached pics with their current menu (the one on the website is outdated). I'm a fan of this place. They have a good selection of beers on tap. Check out the TapHunter app for what they're currently pouring. My current favorites are Modern Times Critical Band and Lagunitas Born Again Yesterday. Food: - Beyond Burger: I'm not a big veggie burger person but this one is great. They get a nice grilled flavor from the sear on it and although the tomatoes and lettuce tend to look a little sad, it's still a tasty burger. - Fish Tacos: you get 3 large fish tacos per order. Very filling and tasty. The fish is nice and tender and the batter is light and crispy. - Fish and Chips: The fish is the same as they use in the tacos, so it's good. Also, there's live music on Saturdays from 6pm to 9pm or so.

    Loving this spot. It's inside wholefoods market. They have a good brew selection. Thursdays is Burger and Brew $13 all day. Pub or some Vegan burger + beer from tap!! Before you had to choose from the $7 beer selection but when I went yesterday they said it can be any beer excluding just 1 of the beers!!! Score! Beer prices range from $7-$10/ pint or tulip. The burger is pretty good! Especially at this price! Nice and juicy everytime! My coworker thinks its too juicy! Haha Anyways, cant wait to they their Taco Tuesday deal!!

    This spot is now one of my new local go-to's I love the food, staff and quick service. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a bite or go to the salad bar, food bar. There is so many options. I have never been dissapointed.

    I ordered the pub burger and a salad with steak on the side. The steak was 8.5/10 and the burger was 6/10. The server was attentive and the atmosphere is light.

    Cheese & Charcuterie plates with bread

    Great service, a good selection of draft beers, reasonably priced happy hour menu. The poutine was pretty good; fries with melted cheddar covered with white gravy. Add some duck or braised ribs and this would absolutely rock. The charcuterie and cheese plates were smaller, but tasty. This might be my go to happy hour hangout. Highly recommend.

    So guys, do you ever get annoyed when your wife calls you at 4:55pm to ask that you stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things?!? Yep - me, too - but not any more. Now I call her to see if she needs anything...win-win! The Irv is a great spot inside Whole Foods with a good selection of craft beer and food. And better yet - if you don't like the menu, just walk through the store and grab anything from salad to pizza. But heads up...don't say 'Honey - I'm home!' after a three hour tour...a gallon of milk don't take that long...

    Houman the bartender is a great guy. He also has a wealth of knowledge about beers. The burgers are great. We will be coming back soon.

We had a couple Darden gift cards to use up so here we are for the dine-in experience. Parking was a bit challenging as everyone wanted to be at Irvine Spectrum at the same time as us, but we got lucky to snatch a spot. Thank you! YH was nearby so it was less than a few minutes walk from parking to restaurant. We were greeted with a smile upon entry. They were pretty busy, but we got lucky to be seated right away. Thank you again! Nolan, Claire, and Jeff (our servers) were super friendly and amazing in their presence and service. They got our foods and drinks to us timely and checked up on us from time to time. Thank you all for the exceptional service from beginning to end! Now for the food... My 3 mix & match tacos with spicy rice and pinto beans did not impress unfortunately. Cumin Chili Shrimp was tasty, but it lacked substance... it needed more veggies or something. Beer-Battered Fish was the best taco out of the 3 even though I didn't care for the sriracha aioli as it had a strong flavor that I can't describe... huge fish filet though. Vampire Carnitas had flavorful pork, but its exterior was fried with cheese or something that made it a salty taco. Rice is labeled spicy, but it's not spicy at all... pretty bland. Pinto beans were okay... nothing special. Hence, 4 stars! My daugther got the Whisky Glazed Salmon with tomato bisque as an add-on. WOW, black pepper glazed salmon was out of this world delicious! Parmesan mashed potatoes were delightfully smooth. Roasted carrots and baby broccoli were tenderly sweet. Tomato bisque was perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend plate and add-on! I should have gotten an order of this salmon plate instead of the tacos. Next time I know better. I couldn't help myself and order more food... - Truffled Mushroom Pizza was nicely done. Love the truffle flavor and aromatic mushrooms. Very tasty and would get again. - Onion Ring Tower fell short unfortunately with its flat and non-crispy batter. It came with two different dips... light ranch and honey mustard I think. Tower presentation was impressive though... it gets an A+ for appeal! I'll pass on this next time though. - Sweet Potato Fries were pretty standard. Nothing too exciting. It came with a dark honey dip which was different. Now for the drink... Picante Margarita virgin style was refreshingly delightful. If I wasn't driving, I would get it with the liquor (calirosa rosa blanco, orange liqueur, citrus agave, cayenne syrup, tajin rim). Will get again hopefully with the liquor next time! =) We're not frequent customers of YH, but now we've tasted their foods and drinks... we will indeed return for more deliciousness... salmon plate, pizza, and margarita here we come. Thanks YH! See you again soon!

Definitely has been so long. We had a great time until my beautiful kids had to rush to put everything away in a Togo box. I've worked in hospitality for over 30 years and if you're rushing someone to get out that's terrible. Definitely will have to re think of eating again. Thankfully I'll make sure to ask for Ally and not the other associate who was eager to kick us out. No it was 12:50A not 1AM we definitely would have left before 1AM. She kept trying to pick up our plates at 12:40A then 1245A then 12:50A. I asked her for lids for the ranch. The manager was there when I made I had already paid a tip of 20% and hope it's just for Ally because if it's shared not happy she would get compensation for removing the food I had just paid and wanted to take home. Please don't rush your guests don't try to take there plate when your placing it in Togo plate. I'm so happy with Ally but everyone else do better. Yes I'll be calling tomorrow to complain. Music was great. Games are half off! Great deals. Paid for 4 wings, truffle fries, banana pecan dessert, 1 wing, 1 beer, and 3 soft drinks. I worked all days and so happy with my day until that terrible associate actions. Hope you train all your staff like Ally.

As a soccer fan, I couldn't help but notice that the U.S. is still a bit of a soccer desert compared to many other countries--the crowd was probably under 30% capacity during the match. The venue itself was decent. The food was a little on the salty side, but still enjoyable while watching the game. What really stood out was the service. There seemed to be only one server handling the entire floor, and he was absolutely swamped. Despite that, he stayed friendly, attentive, and positive the whole time, which made a great impression. Not a perfect experience, but a fun place to catch a match with family, especially if you're introducing the next generation to the World Cup

I had ribs there once which had a nice bite to them but were a limited time offering. I think it's nice to have these options instead of just chicken tenders from the snack bar.

The following was enough for two adults and a toddler and cost around $55 including tax and small tip as of Nov 2024: chips and salsa, two tacos (choice of chicken or carne asada - you can't get one of each for some weird reason), cheese pizza flatbread, and fish n chips. Everything was great! Fries reminded me of In n Out. Fish were huge filets, which were messy and difficult to share, but delicious nonetheless. Chicken tacos were bursting with flavor and my favorite of all things we tried! Salsa is rather spicy, so beware.

I wish I could give less than one star because of the girl working at the bar on 3/14-3/15. She refused to give me her name for this review. I understand that everyone wants to go home, but if the bar closes at 2:00 AM, then staff should be prepared to work until at least that time--not start rushing people out at 1:30 AM. I used to work as a bartender and waitress myself, so I understand how the job works. But if your closing time is 2:00 AM, then that's the time you should actually close. Anthony gave his name and was nice, but the girl... she was extremely rude and honestly does not belong behind the bar. We got there at 10:30 PM, so it's not like we showed up last minute. Overall, the experience tonight was disappointing.
