This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

Everything is great except for the jumping prices. Looking through old pictures of past menus (on…read moreYelp) shows how several price increases in the past 3 years. Price increases in our past three years are certainly expected, however, the hike since April's menu to yesterday (10/3/2026), seems unreasonable. The Churrasco entree (Cuban herb chimichurri with sharp citrus notes) for $50 gives you a very thin skirt steak with a corn cob, white rice, and black beans in a skinny ramekin (tiny, tall egg cup in this instance), whose price seems unjustified. However, $44 dollars would make more sense, including the value-add of the remarkable ambiance and terrific service. The next time, I will ask them how many ounces meat dishes before ordering to negotiate price to product. Be certain to ask for your corn cob to be served off-the-cob: it has sprinkled cotija cheese and a thin coat of unseasoned enchilada sauce on it. The *curved blade of the steak knife that comes with this entree is almost impossible to cut the kernels off of the cob without making a disaster. I asked for more of the churrasco sauce, with a citrus tang that was served minimally, under the skirt steak -- it was also outstanding with the corn and white rice.

First time at Stowaway last night, loved the tropical tiki vibe! Place was packed when we got there…read morearound 6 pm. FREE parking available right in front. The shareable small bites were incredible--the Poke Bombs were indeed da bomb (pun intended), and the Tempura-battered Spam Musubi served with a sweet teriyaki-esque glaze and sriracha-mayo is an absolute must-order. Both items were so good that we ended up ordering them again. The drinks were great -- Three Dots and a Dash, Smoking Rita and the Lava Flow instantly transported me right back to Hawaii. Huge shoutout to Michelle and David for providing such warm, friendly, and attentive service. We will definitely be back!

I gave Postino Park Place in Irvine 3 stars. The location itself is a really nice, clean, and…read moremodern restaurant with a great vibe, but the overall experience was definitely a mixed bag. We ordered a bunch of bruschetta to share for the table, and while they were good, they were honestly lacking that real "wow" factor. For my main, I ordered the P.R.E.A.M. bowl and found it to be quite mediocre. It was pretty plain overall, and all of the vegetables inside were extremely undercooked. While the food was average, the service was pretty much zero stars. It was extremely spotty throughout the entire meal, our drinks were never refilled, and to make matters worse, they actually charged us for coffee that never showed up at our table. It's a lovely space with decent light bites, but the food execution fell short and the severe service issues really dragged down the experience.

There was a big private party reservation coming in later, but the bartender was super accommodating and let us sit and enjoy a few drinks beforehand, which was a huge relief. The interior is on the darker side, but they have TV screens displaying a skyline view, they also had incense, which added to the relaxing, chill vibe. Even though we were the only ones there at the time, the staff remained genuinely welcoming and attentive. And the drinks were great! I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

What we ordered: -Sweet & Spicy Korean Wings -Signature Experience: Prime Beef Brisket, Seasoned Prime Flat Iron, KSC Signature Tableside Kalbi, 48-Hour Kalbi Suwon-style Salt Marinade Accompaniments: seasonal banchan, perilla salad, egg soufflé, fresh shake that kimchi, kimchi stew -Cinnamon Banana Hotteok -Cocktails: go red margaritas, honey & seoul

We ordered the Herbed Hummus which was pretty good with the paired baguette. They even offered us extra baguettes for free when they saw we ran out. We also ordered their Nashville Hot Honey Chicken Slider that comes topped with a garlic aioli, coleslaw, and pickles which was also very good. They also offer nice selection of drinks during their social hour including wines by the glass for about $9, beers for about $4-6, and spirits for $9. Solstice has a great relaxed atmosphere especially when you go after work during social hour. It's not too crowded and you can also sit outside where you can enjoy the nice weather. The service was friendly and timely. There is lots of parking right next door at the parking structure and you can get your parking validated.

Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a while,…read moreespecially because the space itself has so much potential. The interior is beautifully designed, and the restaurant occupies a great location in an attractive building. Unfortunately, the service did not come close to matching the setting. From the moment we walked in, there was very little acknowledgment from the staff. Despite the restaurant being relatively quiet, everyone appeared preoccupied, and we were left with the impression that there was very little attention being paid to the guests. The food was extremely inconsistent. Some dishes were fine, while others were simply not enjoyable. One dish in particular was so overwhelmingly salty that all five people at our table tried it and agreed that we could not eat it. When we brought this to the staff's attention, we were told that this was intentionally how the dish was prepared. They offered to take it back, but told us we would still be charged for it. When the dish returned, parts of the food were noticeably blackened, and at that point we did not feel comfortable eating it. The entire situation was handled poorly and made an already disappointing meal considerably worse. What makes the experience especially unfortunate is how much potential this restaurant has. The location, building, and interior are all excellent, but good design cannot compensate for inattentive service, inconsistent food, and poor handling of a legitimate concern from an entire table. Based on our experience, none of the five of us would return.

Our waiter Micah took some beautiful photos of us by the way. Thank you to him! Now for the good stuff. Food and drink were delicious. We got a variety of plates and drinks and enjoyed each of them. You can tell the kitchen knows what they're doing. There was an awesome DJ there the night we went too! All in all, would go back.
