Delicious tuna melt sandwich with perfectly cooked onions rings is highly recommended. Warm and friendly service!!

We ordered the tuna melt and Philly cheesesteak. The Philly cheesesteak was better than the tuna melt in my honest opinion. The tuna melt was kinda heavy but the pickle definitely helped balance it. I wish there were two pickles...

The Terrace is located next to a golf course with ample seating, shade coverage, and good parking. We were informed that we could sit anywhere, so my friend and I sat outside to feel the nice breeze for our lunch date. The atmosphere is calm/relaxing. Being located in Irvine, it's a nice change of pace from the busyness of the city. Our server was quick and came by our table often. There were no complaints about the service since she was nice and checked in frequently. I ordered the Aloha Poke Bowl, and my friend ordered a Ceasar Salad with chicken, made into a wrap. The poke bowl is HUGE! For $24, the price is justified for the size alone, but the quality of the tuna and all other ingredients tops it off (sauce: ponzu). I enjoyed this meal, but since it was so large I took the rest to go. Additionally, I requested avocado on the side because I have an intolerance to it, which was not a problem for them to accommodate. My friend also only finished half of her wrap since it was so filling. She said that it was yummy, and gave the rest to her boyfriend to try.

I plan on returning to try their kimchi fried rice and hangover ramen!

This spot popped up on my Yelp, and I was honestly surprised to see it tucked right next to the golf course. Such a hidden little gem. The restaurant: I really loved the space. The outdoor patio has a gorgeous view; definitely the highlight. Inside, the bar area has a very chill vibe, and the lounge spaces (both indoors and out) make it a place I'd come back to just to relax and hang out. Food: The poke bowl was about 70% rice, which was a bit disappointing. The sandwich, though, was absolutely delicious. The chicken tenders were solid and hit the spot. Service: The waiter was pleasant and welcoming, but I do wish the service had been a bit more attentive. We had to ask and remind twice for things like water and a straw. Prices: Fair overall for the ambiance and location.

A good restaurant! When you enter the restaurant, you can quickly see that it's very beautiful very bright light and well taken care of. It is a self seated restaurant so we can come in. You just pick a spot to sit and they will go ahead and come to you. The servers are very quick, very fast, super polite and they check in often with you. The spinach artichoke dip is solid! A very good choice if you're looking for a share appetizer! It does taste very similar to Costco's! The Mexican street corn was just okay. The only flavor you're really getting is a lime flavor and I'm sure that is because they use the juice to make the cheese stick to the corn. I would definitely pass on this. The Fish and Chips are great! Both the fish and chips are super crispy and come with a great sauce and good coleslaw! The poke bowl was good as well! It comes with a ponzu sauce that really gives it a lot of flavor. The tuna was nice and fatty! If you come on a Tuesday, they do something call tacos and tequila, and they have $7 dollar margaritas which is nice and very affordable! Overall, this was a great place to eat, not everything on their menu is the best but the amazing service plus beautiful view definitely helps it out!

Tucked away, quiet with plenty of shaded outdoor seating for a lovely meal and beautiful views. They also have indoor dining and a full bar. Small menu that covers all the bases with affordable large portions. We had the South of the Border salad with chicken and a Hole in One Club sandwich. They were delicious!! Throughout, the service was outstanding. This will definitely happen again!

Came in on an NFL Sunday after shooting 100 in the AM. Love the new club house. Very clean and modern, good setup with the bar and Multiple screens, then the couch with the big TV. Ordered the Loaded tots (good) Wings (amazingly crispy, hot and juicy), a bucket of beers (Not a bad deal for Modelos!) a Club Sandwich with fries was great, and the homie said his burger was good. Add 2x tequila shots of Lalo, and the bill came up to about $150. Not bad, but definitely not cheap eats. If they have drink specials here for other things, this is definitely a cool place to stop after or before a round. The service is pleasant and the food is decent. I'd say it's worth it to stop in, but not tell a friend to meet you there for drinks to watch the game.

Views, check! Taste and price, check! Service, I can't speak for the whole staff but if you have Nia (I hope I spelt your name correctly) then you are in GREAT hands! The drinks were amazing and the food was phenomenal. You honestly can't beat the view. The only downside is sometimes the other guests get a little out of hand with their drinking which could harsh your time there but thankfully it did not ruin my visit. I absolutely recommend The Terrace is you are in the area!

We came here because the reviews were great (but a little misleading). We weren't greeted when we entered. Had to approach the staff and they just said we could sit anywhere. Then the menu was kind of tossed at us. They weren't super busy. We came at around 1:30. It was very spacious. Some of the staff were idle. I say the reviews are misleading because they offer a free dessert if you rate them and you have to mention the server's name. That's nice and all but I think most of the reviews become biased. The table near us had much better service though. We heard them chatting up a storm with the employee. The employee also explained the menu better to them. We didn't get that kind of service. I also feel like making my reservation was pointless. There was no need to make a reservation and they didn't even check. I was not okay with the employee that grabbed rags to clean the tables. We were asking her for some assistance but she refused to help us and said it was our server's job. What could have been better was her attitude and if she told our server that we needed help instead of dismissing us in a rude way. The food was okay. A little on the saltier side to what I prefer. The noodles were a little hard and some of them were bunched together. The Gochujang pasta was not spicy at all. Which was nice for me, but I was also a little surprised since I am sensitive to spice. Other places I've been to with this variation of the dish were all spicy. I like that little kick to it actually, so it was more of a cream pasta or pink sauce. What bothered me were the flies. There were many flying everywhere. I kept having to wave around during my conversation with my friend. It was distracting and unappetizing. I'm just glad I didn't find a fly in my dish. Another little thing that bothered me was the price of the drinks. I usually get an americano. It was priced at $6 here, which was a little more pricier than other places. But what shocked me even more was if you wanted it iced, it would be an extra dollar. This would bring my americano to $7, which I think is a little ridiculous since it's not like they craft their own coffee (or I'm not aware that they do). I was more confused about the iced part. It's the same ingredients, espresso and water. I guess the ice costs more in Irvine.

What a beautiful place we came across, a hidden gem in Irvine overlooking the golf course!! A very spacious & nicely decorated giving very homely vibes. Came with my girlies who immediately fell in love. Cassandra our server was a sweet heart. Because it was our first time so she guided us through the menu nicely. Everything we ordered was very tasty and delicious. Made reservations again for the weekend to enjoy the food the service and of course the gorgeous San Joaquin.

The experience at The Terrace is lovely. Some will just say it's the 19th hole of a golf course, but this restaurant/bar is awesome. As a non-golfer, this is I guess hole 1 for me since I would have never made it through 18 holes of golf, but regardless of if you're a golfer or not you're welcome here and there's even a separate parking lot. Taco Tuesday is also not just a great deal at The Terrace but the tacos were also really good!! I went to a crappy looking late night taco place that everyone raves about in Downtown LA recently, and these tacos are equally as good in my opinion and come on an actual plate with chips and salsa, not a flimsy paper plate. The Taco Tuesday margaritas are also top notch and the terrace views are superb. The service is a bit slow but considering I was also not wanting to be rushed, it was a nice and relaxing experience. Hope to become a regular here since the prices are so good for the quality of food and ambiance I'm getting!

Justin Wine Tasting on 6/7/25 Athena, the bar manager, truly went above and beyond to make this wine tasting an exceptional experience! From thoughtful food pairings to supplied wine notes (complete with pens!) to seamless service from wait staff-- every detail was spot on! The food was so good- the salmon, the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella with balsamic glaze, ahi tuna wonton crisp, the slider and carne asada- all tasted so delicious with each wine. We were also treated to two treats not on the menu- a cabernet and a dessert! Shout out to Johnny, the Justin rep, for adding a fun and informative touch to the evening! The atmosphere was welcoming, the wine pours generous, and the exclusive wine deals were a fantastic bonus!! Cheers to a fun and memorable event!! read more

We opened our doors in January 2024 and remain a cherished part of the Rancho San Joaquin community. Come experience the new chapter of our story!

Only worked with Bree throughout the entire process (from tour, booking, questions regarding venue, invoicing, to final day of event) she was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, making everything run smoothly and stress-free. My family would like to thank you so much for all your help that day! Shout out to Bree! We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day. We'd absolutely recommend it to anyone planning a small, meaningful gathering!

I booked Adina I believe in 2018 and she is not only professional but she is sweet, humble, and genuine. She worked with us every step and hurdle the pandemic caused. Meaning canceled venues, pushed wedding dates, special requests and even changed wedding design. I can't relay enough of my gratitude to her and her team. When the day of happened all that I dreamed of came to life. She worked with our budget and was realistic with us on what was worth getting to achieve the look and experience we wanted on our special day. All of our guests not only loved the venue, which is one of the exclusive venues of Event Loft, but they said the food and staff were impeccable. We have guests that continue to tell us that the venue was a gem to find and that everything was well scheduled. We booked everything with Event loft, except for the DJ and sofreh designer. She was very kind to the other vendors and helped them when needed. We have the most memorable photos, video and the flowers were beautiful and excellent quality. I couldn't imagine not having Adina and her team working our wedding. I simply can't thank them enough.

Adina was so helpful throughout the process and the venue was so absolutely stunning. It fit my wedding design so perfectly and I felt like it was truly meant to be. Our wedding was a dream and we couldn't have pulled it all together without their quick responses and help to make our day amazing.

I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile and it was the perfect place to catch up during a walk around of the garden. I loved the pond with the lily pads and turtles, and the Heritage House surrounded by orange trees and roses. I was impressed by the amount of orange trees. It reminds you of why they call it Orange County. If I went to school here I'd be here probably once a week. Otherwise it's great to come if you live in the OC.

From the parking lot it was easy to follow the signs along to the garden. The garden had areas that represented Woodlands, Mediterranean, Dessert, and a Cultivated Collection. There were walking paths but I still recommend closed toed shoes since it's a bit sandy. They had many benches throughout for resting or handing out and admiring nature. We spent about an hour here, but to be fair I'm not that into nature. I GOT A BUG BITE and it swelled and was super itchy. Sigh. I think someone who super loved nature or wanted to take their time to hang out could take 2-3 admiring all the plant life. My FAVORITE moments here was when we came across wildlife. My favorite were the rabbit, turtle, and crane. It's beautiful. Great spot to get some steps in and absorb some sunlight.

The venue is seriously beautiful--the fireplace + lounge area feels upscale, and the nighttime pool view is chef's kiss. Tons of parking, a private room to get ready, and plenty of space (we had 70+ guests and it still felt roomy). Shoutout to the dance floor: inviting, spacious, and the perfect size for our group once the open bar inspired some "creative" dancing. One suggestion: maybe close off the stairs to encourage elevator use... because a few of our "extra celebratory" guests somehow didn't realize the elevator existed. If I make it to 80, we're hosting another birthday here.

The Best Hidden Gem in Irvine! Where do I begin? This is such a cute spot- the inside and the outside, the food and the drinks, everything is great! I have visited for drinks at the bar, lunch, Taco Tuesday and planning on coming soon for the Justin Wine Tasting! The views of the golf course are so relaxing and pretty. I brought my 90 year old friend here and she thought the The Terrace was just MAGICAL! I went to Taco Tuesday here once and need to come back soon. The chicken and steak tacos were excellent and the cost was so reasonable! The bartender gives you a good pour of wine and the food is very good! I sort of hope this place does not get that popular because it is just a great find!! The staff and patrons are warm and inviting, too! read more

One of my favorite spots in the area! It's perfect both for getting work done and for enjoying a nice brunch. The indoor space is cozy and peaceful for working, and the outdoor seating has a beautiful golf course view, it's really relaxing to watch people practicing and playing. I've always had a great experience here. The staff are super kind and welcoming. I've talked to Niloufar and another team member (unfortunately I forgot her name) and both were very friendly and warm. Overall, lovely atmosphere, good food, and excellent service. Highly recommend! read more

I wanted to provide an update since we've been coming here regularly. The shakshuka is amazing - full of flavor with sweet peppers and tomatoes. The avocado toast is simple but beautifully presented and delicious. The chef really pays attention to detail, and the food is always consistent. Just a heads up - sometimes they host private events and close the restaurant, but it's not a big deal. The staff is always friendly and quick to serve when they can. Highly recommend! read more
