    I've walked and driven past this bar Louie countless times and finally decided to make my way in. From the outside it's giving taps brewhouse/Yardhouse vibes. Once you get inside it's a bit more confusing lol Firstly, you can tell that they were going for upscale steakhouse types of atmosphere, you have the tufted leather chairs with rivets, dark wood, and mood lighting but then you continue to look around and notice that some of the decor is extremely dated. They do have several TVs placed throughout the restaurant playing multiple sports games simultaneously. I will note that when it cuts to a commercial break, the volume is borderline unbearably loud. It would be nice if someone actually lowered the volume or adjusted the speakers to avoid this. The food itself was decent. The menu is not super large, but you've got your staples. Price point is a bit overpriced. The service was not bad, but not great lol. We arrived around 8 PM on a weekday and granted it wasn't very busy. We were seated right away and a server was with us immediately. We put in drink orders and food orders and both came out fairly quickly. About half an hour into our meal two large parties entered, and you could immediately tell that the staff was overwhelmed, the shift in service and how long it took to catch our waiter was immediate. Overall it's not a bad spot to have lunch or dinner but, definitely not a go to either. I would say it ranks below both yardhouse and Cheesecake Factory for the price point. We will try to catch their happy hour next time to see if that's the move!

    A great spot for some pub food! Portions are huge and it's a great value! The chicken nachos were especially worth it at its price point. We got the mushroom Swiss burger and the Philly cheesesteak. While both were good, the Philly cheesesteak was especially yummy!! The variety of drinks was also expansive and both of the drinks we got were very refreshing with all the fried pub food. The only problem we had was that service was a bit on the slower end. We walked in as a group of 8 on a Sunday night. There were only 6 sets of silverware and it took a while for our table to get water even though the whole restaurant was not that busy. Definitely take advantage of the happy hour deals that they have on the weekdays!

    7/10 Loaded Tots - Mediocre at best. 8/10 Wings - They were okay! Cost - Loaded Tots $15.25, Wings $18.95

    Ok, 3 stars for the restaurant but an extra star for our waiter who was freaking hysterical and made us laugh the entire time without being inappropriate or pushy!! So this was definitely a greasy over priced bar food type menu. Came here to grab a drink with a friend and had zero expectations to eat which was wise, because if you have celiac, you won't eat. Anything that could be made gluten free seemed a little bit high likelihood to be cross contact but our freaking awesome waiter knew exactly what could be altered to be "gluten free" so he may had been willing to work a little with the cross contact measures if I was legit hungry. Happy hour was limited on selection but the martinis were great for $10!! The patio was lovely and there was going to be live music which we missed but the warm up sounded great. I'd definitely go back for happy hour. The server, again, was super funny without being obnoxious or offensive when I mentioned my celiac (it happens quickly when people think it's funny) and honestly it was good vibes.

    An average experience overall. The food was okay, but there wasn't anything that really stood out. Since it wasn't during a busy meal time, I expected faster service, but it was a bit slow. Not a bad place, but there is definitely room for improvement.

    Great vibe good service. Nice outdoor patios with fireplace. Cool place to hangout. Spacious inside dining with plenty of seating by the fabulous bar or at the tables or booths all around. Espresso old fashioned is good but the dragonfruit margarita is just too sweet and very light on the alcohol.

    We came here again and had a great service with our happy hour. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful here. We came to have drinks and bruschetta for the happy hour before the movies and it was delicious. Their prices are reasonable. This will be a come back for us.

    I had a great experience here. The atmosphere is one of the best parts it's open, spacious, and has a really cool setting that makes it a comfortable place to relax and enjoy your meal. The staff was welcoming from the moment I walked in, and Cynthia and Grey stood out with their friendly attitudes and excellent customer service. They were attentive, kind, and made sure everything went smoothly. Great food, great vibe, and even better people. I'll definitely be coming back!

    This place is fine for what it is. It's got plenty of TVs so good for watching sports, indoor and patio seating, and can accommodate big parties. The food and drinks are decently priced and definitely do the trick. Service is a bit on the slow side but it's nice not to feel rushed. They will turn on the audio for the "game of the day" too so that's nice. Came in for March madness final 4 and it was definitely lively. My biggest complaint is the bathrooms are gross here. Every time I've been here the restrooms are not very clean which leaves me wondering if the rest of the facility is.

    Steak Frites, Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Chicken Wings Bone In Buffalo
    Cates D.

    Came to Bar Louie for dinner with my family. We ordered the Steak Frites, the Crispy Parmesan Chicken, Chicken Wings. It wasn't very busy since it was right after a holiday, but the food still took quite a while to come out. The steak came out more medium-well than medium--good portion size, but a bit tough for me. The Parmesan Crusted Chicken was flavorful, but not as crispy as I expected. The Wings Bone In were the highlight for me--really flavorful and crunchy. Overall, the meal had its ups and downs, but I'd come back to try other items on their menu.

    The food here was a letdown. The calamari was mostly heavy breading(about 60% batter). They also overcharged and don't know the difference between a domestic and non domestic beer. To top it off, they calculated the automatic tip based on full menu prices rather than the Happy Hour rates. Really disappointing and feels dishonest

    Fantastic deals here! Awesome bar! I love me a good burger, $10 1/2 pound burger specials on Tuesdays, awesome! They also have $15 meal deals: soup or salad, entree, and donuts! Service was quick, the bar is always buzzing, regular and late night happy hour specials! Come for a good time, especially for Dodgers games! Love the vibes!

Cocktails are super good! And they don't skimp on the alcohol. Went with the French 75, ever unique with the ginger pear! 2. The puff bread is a must! It's so fluffy and the thyme butter is delicious! 3. The mussels were good as well! They used a unique curry lobster sauce and it was delicious! My only complaint was that the bread was burnt/charred and very hard. They brought out new bread for us, it was softer but tasted a little stale. 4. They were out of the Branzino and the sea bass crudo (2 items we wanted to try). But went with the chicken. Super juicy and the aji sauce was pretty good. It came with quinoa as well. I usually never order chicken at an upscale restaurant but since they were out of the items I wanted to try I went with it. Not something I would order again to be honest, but it was definitely good. 5. The seafood risotto is a must! Amazing and one of the best I've had! Came with blue crab, shrimp, and lobster! 6. Went with the peach butter cake for dessert. Good flavor! But the butter cake itself was not as soft/moist as I hoped. Mastros butter cake has set the bar, and I am always comparing butter cakes to Mastros. But definitely worth a try! Overall, really enjoyed the dinner, even with some bumps, waitress was super accommodating and checked on us often!

The cooking uses quality ingredients and love and care. I was here on business by myself and was seated immediately and after a quick look at the menu decided on the devil's cut ribeye a steak. It comes with a massive amount of oven, roasted potatoes and green beans. I also got a side salad with it as well which was way too much food for one person. The entire thing was big enough for two normal or maybe even three light eaters. The steak was excellent with a sweet coffee rub with a slightly sweet mapley taste. I could only finish about half and save the rest for the next day. Even though I was full, I decided to try the fried apple pie because it was recommended by many other reviewers. It was actually amazing. It was the dish that was highly recommended by the server and she was not wrong. The ice cream on top was probably House made and the pie itself was like a gourmet version of a hostess apple pie but of course with much higher quality ingredients and it was delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is exciting. It is a fun place to visit with the visual aspects such as the bird cages in the window case. Oak barrels used for aging whiskey are set around and the general vibe was very attractive. Everyone was having a great time and making quite a lot of noise from all the conversation and the music, but people were really enjoying themselves. If you want to have a quiet conversation with someone, this is probably not your place, but if you want a fun time with that kind of vibe, it is an excellent place. I recommend Bosscat highly.

I'm currently 8 months pregnant, and I had my baby shower at Benchmark on July 25, 2026. This is my first baby, and my best friend and sister spent countless hours planning the shower. They invested so much time, effort, and money to make it a special day, and we were all incredibly excited. When we arrived, the event space was extremely hot. We were informed that the air conditioning had broken the night before and were given a few fans to help. I was surprised that no one had contacted us ahead of time, especially since it was 95 degrees outside. At the very least, I expected someone to discuss alternative options or move us to another area, but that never happened. As guests began arriving, the heat only became worse. Our shower was from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and by the end, everyone was sweating and fanning themselves. It was incredibly uncomfortable and definitely put a damper on what was supposed to be such a memorable day. Another issue was that servers were constantly walking through our private event space because the restaurant's freezer was located in the back. Throughout the entire shower, staff were repeatedly coming in and out. This was never disclosed to us when we booked the event. Even with all of that, I tried to be understanding. Equipment fails, and I know unexpected situations happen. I expected that a manager would come speak with us, apologize, and try to make things right. Unfortunately, that never happened. Instead, we were given only $150 off a $2,600 bill. The food itself was delicious, but because of the extreme heat, we couldn't comfortably enjoy it or safely take leftovers home. It felt like we were sitting in an oven. After the event, my best friend contacted the manager, Pedro. It took about a week for him to respond. He acknowledged that they should have informed us about the staff traffic through our event space and admitted that he should have personally apologized for the air conditioning issue. He offered us a gift card, but we requested reimbursement of the $400 room fee instead. Since they had already deducted $150 from the bill, we asked for an additional $250, which seemed like a reasonable compromise considering the circumstances. His response was that they still had to pay the servers and cover the cost of the table linens. That explanation was extremely disappointing. We were also required to pay a 22% service charge for servers who, understandably, weren't present much because the room was so unbearably hot. This experience turned what should have been one of the happiest days of my pregnancy into a stressful and disappointing memory. While I understand that mechanical issues happen, it's how a business responds that truly matters. Unfortunately, the lack of communication before the event, the absence of management during the party, and the unwillingness to provide what we felt was a fair resolution left us feeling undervalued as customers. I hope management takes this feedback seriously so future guests don't have a similar experience.

The pairing of the rich mole sauce and sweet potato puree takes the dish to an entirely different level, complementing each other effortlessly. ​Baklava Cheesecake: A creative and delicious twist on a classic. The cream cheese filling is light rather than dense, and instead of a traditional graham cracker crust, it features a fantastic baklava crust. It is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though you will definitely want to pair it with a cup of coffee to finish it off. ​ ​Service: The staff is exceptionally friendly, highly attentive, and organized, making you feel well cared for throughout the meal. ​Portions: Portions are slightly on the smaller side.

His knowledge of the menu, detailed descriptions, and personal recommendations made ordering easy and built our anticipation for every dish.

Juan described a peach cobbler special that immediately had my mouth watering, while my daughter ordered the Espresso Crème Brûlée. Juan returned to our table with three plates and spoons and informed me that Chef Jackie has recommended her specialty. I did not argue, Chef knows best. She surprised me by sending out something different: a slice of Baklava Cheesecake accompanied by a scoop of house-made peach cobbler ice cream. Now, I have eaten some outstanding cheesecakes all around the world, but this Baklava Cheesecake was on an entirely different level. It was rich, layered, perfectly textured and flaky, and so unbelievably delicious that I nearly licked the plate clean. The house-made peach cobbler ice cream was equally impressive--light and creamy, yet captured the full peach cobbler flavor. The Espresso Crème Brûlée was also beautifully executed, with a crisp caramelized sugar shell and a deep, smooth coffee-flavored custard. My daughter ate half of hers before turning her attention to the cheesecake, and she does not even like cheesecake. That alone should tell you how special it was. I live three hours away, but I will absolutely be making the drive back. Lemon & Thyme delivers exceptional food, thoughtful hospitality, creative dishes, and the kind of personal service that turns a meal into a lasting memory. This is my new favorite restaurant!!! Do yourself a favor and make the trip to Lemon & Thyme. Ask for Juan, trust Chef Jackie, and do not leave without desert. Chef Jackie, Juan and the rest of the staff, thank you for the amazing experience!!!

    We came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. She made a reservation in advance for our group of…read moreseven, and we had a wonderful experience! The restaurant is located downstairs in the hotel, and parking is very convenient. Make sure to bring your parking ticket with you, as dining guests can receive up to three hours of complimentary parking. The restaurant is beautifully designed and very photogenic . The large screen is especially unique and adds to the atmosphere. It's a great spot for dinner with friends, date night, or a birthday celebration. The service was excellent as well. Once our server realized we were celebrating a birthday, they patiently helped us take lots of photos, which we really appreciated. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The House-Made Mozzarella was one of my favorites -- crispy outside with warm, stretchy cheese inside. The Shrimp Tacos were generously filled, and the Hamachi Crudo was incredibly fresh. The Beet Salad with whipped goat cheese was unique and delicious. The Peruvian Vidori Chicken was a generous portion, while the Rigatoni Alla Vodka with Burrata was rich and creamy. The Yuzu Seabass was tender and flavorful, and the Filet Frites was another favorite -- juicy filet paired with perfectly crispy fries. They also offer a great lunch special with several options to choose from. It's a nice value and definitely worth checking out if you're planning to come for lunch. Overall, great food, beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful service. We had such a nice birthday celebration here and would definitely recommend it!

    Very nice restaurant located inside the Irvine Hyatt Regency. Very spacious with indoor and outdoor…read morespaces. We ended up taking their Rosemary fries togo since I just wanted a quick snack. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. Fries were piping hot and fresh. They gave a generous shareable portion. The fries were nicely battered and seasoned well. It was a tad on the saltier side so I'd probably ask them to tone the salt down a bit next time. Otherwise, a very solid snack. They also offer up to 3 hours validation for parking if you dine with them.

    Momonoki is fantastic, especially after revamping its menu. Every dish we tried was memorable, but…read morethe fried chicken won me over. It was incredibly juicy and crispy, with perfectly balanced seasoning that enhanced the chicken without overpowering it. I honestly wished I had ordered another serving. The Gochujang Pork Belly was another standout. The combination of rich pork belly with cheesy potatoes sounded unusual at first, but it worked surprisingly well. Every bite was packed with bold, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. The Dashi Pesto Udon was a refreshing contrast. The citrusy, light sauce coated the udon noodles beautifully, making the dish flavorful without feeling heavy. Finally, the Miso Bacon Carbonara was rich, creamy, and unforgettable. The combination of smoky bacon, savory miso, and creamy pasta created a unique twist on a classic carbonara that was both comforting and indulgent. Overall, every dish was thoughtfully executed, making Momonoki a place I'd gladly return to. The staff was also very nice and welcoming, which made my experience even better, and the place itself is so beautifully decorated.

Parmesan fries: 3/5 it felt like it was frozen? Not fresh? Crudo: 3/5 fresh, but the flavors weren't doing it for me? Kimchi ball: 3/5 Vongole: 4.5/5 buttery and good amount of seafood on it. Miso carbonara: 4/5 creamy and rich
