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!

We had our wedding here and absolutely loved it! Every couple has their own taste and vision of…read moretheir big day and we leaned towards a modern, sophisticated, formal, and fun vibe. 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!

SMH so here goes. Located in industrial area and within a business complex near Dland, plenty of parking including valet. Upon entry the vibe is modern man cave woodsy chalet with leather furniture and animal skin backs. Service is usually solid (some staff better than others) but the main show is the menu. They have unique offerings that is not easily available at other establishments such as the country fried quail appetizer. Trust me, this one is a MUST! We've converted non-believers into those that finish the last bite refusing to share this dish. Their steak offerings no matter what cut you get will almost always be cooked the way you requested and the flavors are definitely high end steakhouse. Prime rib is hands down better than Lawry's, no questions! For dessert, there is an off menu item which most gate keep but I'm going to share it: popcorn ice cream! Don't judge just try! Tip: please make sure to check their website for their strictly enforced dress code. CA casual can get one denied.

This was not a bad meal. This was a fucking disgrace…read more Most of the food we were served was either rotten, visibly spoiled, or had fucking mold on it. Let that sink in. MOLD. ON. THE. FOOD. At a restaurant charging these ridiculous prices, that is completely fucking unacceptable. How incompetent does a kitchen have to be for rotten and moldy food to make it out of the kitchen and onto a customer's fucking table? The food was horrendous. Every dish felt like another fucking insult to the amount of money being charged. There was nothing remotely impressive about what we were served. This wasn't some minor issue where one appetizer was disappointing. The meal as a whole was a fucking disaster. Andd then you have the nerve to charge steakhouse prices for this bullshit. You are not some cheap neighborhood restaurant where people expect to roll the dice on food quality. You're charging premium prices and presenting yourselves as an upscale dining experience. Then serve fucking spoiled food? Are you serious? I genuinely don't understand how anyone in that kitchen looked at some of this food and thought, "Yep, that's good enough to serve." What the actual fuck? Do people not inspect the ingredients before putting them on a plate? Do they not notice when something is VISIBLY fucking moldy or rotten? This is basic common sense. The entire experience was infuriating. The food was disgusting, the value was fucking pathetic, and the whole thing felt like a massive waste of money. You can have the fancy dining room, the expensive menu, the polished presentation, and whatever other bullshit comes with pretending to be a luxury restaurant. None of that matters when the food itself is fucking unacceptable. A restaurant can survive a mediocre dish. It can survive slow service. It can survive a disappointing night. What it should absolutely never have to explain is why customers are being served food that appears rotten or covered in mold. I have genuinely never been so fucking baffled by a restaurant's complete lack of quality control. This wasn't "not my taste." This wasn't "a little underwhelming." This was fucking disgusting. If you're charging this much money, I expect food that is fresh, safe, and worth eating. That is literally the fucking bare minimum. Instead, we got food that looked and tasted like someone had forgotten it existed and then decided to serve it anyway. Save your fucking money. There are countless restaurants that should be grateful for your business and actually understand that paying customers deserve fresh food and basic fucking standards. I wouldn't willingly eat here again if someone paid me to. And somehow, the insanity didn't even end when we left. There was a homeless man outside who repeatedly wouldn't stop licking my shoes. After an already fucking disgusting meal, having someone repeatedly invade my personal space and licking my fucking shoes was the final bizarre cherry on top of an experience that somehow managed to get worse every step of the way.
