We came on a Sunday afternoon and there was a line to order but still very easy to find a place to sit. The manager, Ellie, was working the register and she was absolutely sweet and above and beyond friendly. We got: ~ Chicken Alfredo pasta ~ still my favorite chicken Alfredo pasta! Tastes more savory and cheesy than other Alfredo's I've had. It comes with cheesy garlic bread which is delicious. Highly recommend ~ American breakfast ~ very beautifully played and comes with a great variety of food ~ Matcha latte ~ Mango pastry ~ hard chocolate exterior with mango crème and a jelly/jam filling. Would highly recommend this, tasted like fresh mangos and so delicious

Pretty cute cafe spot in the District! I've been eying this place for a while because it's cute…read more The ambiance is truly great - very cute place to catch up with a friend. ITEMS I TRIED: - Santa Ana Omelette: pretty decent though I didn't love the sausage portion of it. The potatoes were nice and crisp. It comes with a good portion of avocado as well. Really loved the melted cheese that brought everything together. - Latte: with oat milk, loved the latte art! Pretty standard drink. PARKING: decent parking around the District though can get busy. SERVICE: thought it would be slow because they seemed overwhelmed and short staffed. However, food and drinks came out very fast. PRICE: decently priced, it was about $6.50 for the latte and $16 for the omelette. Overall, I was not blown away by the food, though it is decent. However, the ambiance is really cute and it's a great place to catch up and vibe with a friend.

Our server Monica, is an amazing server, big smile there when you need something, I even asked her if she was this happy all the time, but her happiness shows that is not fake.

I doesnt look like it was apart of the plaza. The staff were super nice and attentive. The prices were so reasonable. We were happy about this place before we even got the food. Luckily for me, i got the mimosa flight before they increased the price. We both got the steak and eggs and the portions were great and it was delish. Might have to put this place in our rotation for our breakfast/brunch rotations.

It's a tiny restaurant, we didn't have reservations but thankfully got sat bc we arrived at 5pm. Service was impeccable. Someone in my party had gluten allergy and the server made suggestions to which dishes to get and which were easily made gluten free. - Squash salad: impressed. This was a new novel dish and I loved it. It had finely shaved zucchini like super thin flat noodles. There was shaved Parmesan cheese, hazelnuts, and the dressing was light and barely dressed. - Mushrooms: the onsen egg was perfectly runny and the mushrooms so savory. - Gambas: plump shrimp with yummy flavors. - Rack of pork: our fav! We asked what was in the sauce it was so delectable. We predicted fish sauce and maybe orange. The server went back and confirmed it was fish sauce! The chef has Vietnamese origins. This was so good, we cleaned the bone and licked the plate. - Cheesecake: only enjoyed by the gluten eaters. It was well made. I'm not a dessert eater typically but I found this wonderful. Not too sweet and decadent.

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.

Their wings were sticky and juicy at the same time with the right amount of fat. The taste had an umami flavor and was a great way to start breakfast . I had the crab curry omelette as my main which had a subtle crab and curry taste atop the egg. My boyfriend had a salmon with rice that came with sauce that I drizzled on my dish and it brought out more flavor. Their Vietnamese coffee is to die for! I had the egg yolk Vietnamese coffee and the cream was smooth and sweet, making the perfect pair for the strong vietnamese coffee. Whenever I am back in Irvine, I will be coming back to NEP. Price (5/5): Totally worth the price Ambiance (5/5): Aside from how spacious this place is, the interior is a beautiful modern and island look. Service (5/5): Surprisingly fast! The waitress we had was also so sweet and very attentive to our 7 person party. Everyhting else came out so fast, which was surprising for a busy Sunday morning for NEP.

Ok this place lived up to the hype for me…read more I was traveling solo and made a reservation for myself here for early dinner. I waited 15 more minutes for the dinner menu instead of the lunch menu. Service was fairly quick and attentive. The interior is super aesthetic and so is the bar! Good menu selection to choose from. BOLSA RITA $16 Mijenta blanco tequila, lime leaf aperitif, coconut, pandan, lime rim salt. Surprisingly tasty. Subtle pandan flavor. Steak frites $55 -- 15 oz ribeye, green peppercorn cream sauce -- holy moly the portion size here is no joke! It was absolutely delicious and cooked nicely! Not tough and super flavorful. I'd recommend! SEAFOOD CEVICHE $16 -- scallop, shrimp, calamari, Thai chili, mango, coconut + came with fried shrimp chips. Tasted fresh, not bad. Overall, I'd totally come back!

Don't overthink it, just get it. We also had the mango burns wings (obsessed, but warning it's spicy), loaded fries, mango lassi, and ended on a dubai chai which is the right way to close out a meal like that. It felt like a warm hug. The menu looks a little unexpected at first glance but trust the concept, it delivers. All of our questions were answered and the recommendations were spot on. The patio at night has a great vibe, good ambient lighting, lively crowd that's not too big, and hookah. If you're in OC and you haven't been yet, this is a must-try.

All employees have been great, inside has always been clean when I've gone.

We got a smattering of food - there were a bunch of delicious options, which makes it difficult when you're indecisive like me. Breakfast burger - this was amazing. There's a cool Japanese "tornado" egg on it, which is really nice, texture-wise. Much better than just slapping an over-easy on top. Flavor was great. Bacon was great. This was one of my favorites. Tuna melt - I love tuna melts so I'll always order if I find one on a menu. This one was good. Like actual prepared tuna with kewpie. Definitely elevated from your typical diner fare. Also came with a side of sweet pickles - great to cut through the richness. Pork belly bowl - this is for you rice bowl lovers. Nice cuts of pork belly with a sesame sauce, delicious stewed kimchi, and Japanese style potato salad. Better than your typical bowls that just slap a bunch of things on top of rice. There's nice thought going into this dish and the stewed kimchi really packs that extra punch. Apple burrata salad - nice and light. With everything else we ordered being hearty, the salad offered a nice way to cut through the richness. Creamy burrata on apple slices with tomatoes. Bright flavors with the silkiness of the cheese to bind it all together. Truffle tots - get the tots. Top tier. Fresh, airy, and crispy. Get the truffle oil. Croissants - how many places actually make their croissants in-house nowadays? We got a few to go and devoured them later in the day. Flakey exterior with soft buttery goodness inside. Legit stuff. Delicious baked goods, booze, and good food. Solid spot for some good comfort food.

With it being a small place, one thing that stood out was that our food came out late. We were told it was because there was a large order placed when our order was placed. That was fine. No big deal but not too long after we finished eating and paid for our food, we were being rushed off so that the table could be used for the next guest. We understood but my thought was now we are being rushed when our food came out pretty late. I thought they forgot about us. But it wasn't an issue. We gathered our things and left. We completely understood and they were really polite about letting us know it was time to leave. Another thing I would like to see done, when they are able, is a makeover for the restroom. I was hesitant, not because of the looks but because there is only one bathroom and I couldn't figure out if the door was locked or not Once you go, if you visit before the knob is changed, you'll understand what I mean. Overall, I'd go back. It was good and the people there were really cool.
