I had the opportunity to head to Via Verde for a fundraiser golf tournament and initially was…read moreexcited to see what the place had to offer! It has to be nice, it's a country club! Well, the clubhouse was nice enough and seemed clean in the areas I saw, but to me, the crowned jewel of every country club should be its golf course. This is where I was extremely disappointed. I cannot imagine being a member at this country club and having a golf course in this condition. I have seen municipal courses that don't require a tee time or greens fees in better shape! There were bare spots all over the "fairways," there was grass growing over the "sand traps," the "tee boxes" were uneven with sporadic grass. I honestly could not believe it. I am hopeful this course can be saved, because it actually could be nice. But it needs some serious love and maybe a Board that actually cares about their product. I bet membership would increase! Cheers!

Keep that in mind if you are having an outdoor event - you will need a good speaker system if you want to be heard!

The interior of the building is cute for a reception or small meetings. There's a bridal suite near the restroom.

First off, AV Irvine is HUGE! It's a sprawling two story building with one main event/reception area. It's the type of space where there is so much possibility but takes the right team to execute the client's vision. We worked with our design team and coordinators at AV to warm up the reception space (draping and lighting does wonders). Strategic table setting also makes a huge difference. We were blown away during the reveal on our wedding day and we had many guests compliment on how beautiful everything looked. What really sold us on AV was well... the AV system! The giant screen and lighting totally help set the mood of our wedding. We even met with the AV guys beforehand to discuss the different lighting transitions throughout the evening. The quality of the screens were super sharp and we were able to put up customized logos throughout the night to go along with the festivities. And of course the sound system was bumping!! Perfect sound quality and created the environment for everyone to dance! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all in different areas for our event. The flow of the evening was seamless and I was glad there was no need to "flip" areas as some other venues need to do because of spacing. The ceremony was held outside and honestly requires the right designer to get it wedding ready. It fit in with our contemporary aesthetic but I can see other couples preferring something different for the ceremony. I could go on and on but will just add a few extras that helped our decision: 1) Centrally located for our guests with many nearby hotel accommodations, easy location to call for uber/lyft 2) Lots of parking for guests 3) Get the whole venue to yourself 4) Ability to serve asian banquet dinner (through Furiwa and 24 Carrots) 5) Confetti bomb...talk about GRAND entrance!

Ashton was our server and so knowledgeable about the dishes, the gluten free options (which was 90% of the menu) temperature of the pork,desserts, etc. He has obviously been doing this for a while and it shows, if I return I will ask to be seated in his section. My boyfriend said his pork dish actually made him happy! I can attest to the smoky flavor, size and gigantic thick cut, the tenderness was delightful. The apple molasses glaze, baked apples, and chive oil brought this dish to another level. The beet salad was large enough to be split and should not be discounted. This was a truly fantastic salad with cheese, an orange vinaigrette with tangerine slices. The flavor was not overpowering, but light and refreshing. I enjoyed a perfectly prepared filet, which was followed up with a surprise crème brûlée from the restaurant. I think we could've licked the bowl clean! There was plenty of parking out front and the restrooms were immaculate. Verdict: FANTASTIC!

A lovely date night at The Ranch…read more It had been about ten years since I'd been to The Ranch, and it was just as beautiful as I remembered. Our server, Jimmy, and his assistant, Rodrigo, were wonderful. The entire staff was attentive and ready to help. We never had to look around for someone, and that kind of care really makes a difference on a date night. My partner and I love sharing, so we ordered a few dishes. The steak was perfectly medium, and the buttery, flaky halibut with risotto was delicious. We also enjoyed the lobster mac and cheese and the flower shaped bread with a variety of flavors. Palomas weren't on the menu, but the team was happy to make them for me and I appreciated that. The clam chowder was tasty, with more of a tomato bisque style. A manager stopped by to explain it, which was a thoughtful touch. We don't usually order dessert, but tonight we went for the New York cheesecake, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything we had was so good. We truly enjoyed our date night and highly recommend The Ranch for a special evening or celebration. We will definitely add this place to our date rotation.
