3.5 stars....Got into Irvine late and just wanted something quick, so we stopped at Heirloom Kitchen in the hotel lobby. The space is really pretty--bright, modern Irvine Spectrum vibes and a nice spot to unwind with a drink after a long day. We ordered drinks, fish tacos, and buffalo wings. The fish tacos were good--fish pieces were a little small, but the toppings were fresh and the fish tasted clean, not fishy. The buffalo wings were interesting with blue cheese crumbles sprinkled on top and ranch on the side. A little different, but tasty. The only downside was the speed. The place was pretty quiet--just a few people at the bar and a couple tables--but the food still took a while. Overall, solid hotel food in a really nice setting if you're staying here and need a late bite. read more

We snagged a quick dinner in the lobby before our event at the hotel and were surprised by the food! You can't beat the view of the hotel grounds too. We got the garlic prosciutto pizza (thinking it would be a white sauce, nope! Red sauce) and the shrimp appetizer was a bit of a soup dish. We also got the Brussels sprouts and those were a hit. The order took a bit longer than expected too but overall, it was read more

Sterling is a wonderful bartender and he's very knowledgeable about the menu and the hotel as well. You can see the pool while sitting at the bar. I'm ordering the Harvest apple berry salad with prawns. It is super expensive which is kind of surprising for an average Marriott but I'm hungryyyy and don't want to starve. read more

Heirloom Farmhouse Kitchen is on the first floor at the Marriott hotel in Irvine. I was really impressed by how upscale this hotel was. They have the restaurant on the first floor and then there is a rooftop bar on the rooftop. We came around 5pm for dinner on a Friday night and it was mostly empty, minus a few people at the bar. The menu is a bit small, but there are some great options. We decided to start with the spinach artichoke dip and it was super tasty. It was creamy and very flavorful. I also enjoyed that the chips were warm. Then, I got the arugula salad and that wasn't my favorite. I am typically a salad lover, but this one was pretty bland and left something to be desired. The ribeye on the other hand was tender and juicy! Our server was fantastic and all the staff were helpful. I think this would be a great place to watch a big game, they have a beautiful bar and giant TV screens. read more

I've stopped in a few times before and the food has always been great, but the service was so great tonight I absolutely needed to take the time to leave this review. The bartender Danny is phenomenal! I stopped by for a quick bite and didn't expect it to be the highlight of my day but it totally was. He was so fun and such a joy to talk to. What an absolute asset to your staff :) thanks Danny for such an awesome end to my awesome night! read more

So I think it's important when leaving a review to consider what the place is. A hotel restaurant is a different animal, and as such, this place was pretty solid. No pics because I didn't intend to drop a review, but I recommend getting the smash burger, and add a patty for a double, skip the bun for a carb friendly option. The Caesar salad was solid too, and a chilled ketel one martini rounded things out for my business stay at the hotel. Not a place for your anniversary, but always reliable service & food for my work trips. The ambiance is solid too, good place to watch the game. Enjoy! read more

Let's clarify, this is the Marriott's lobby restaurant. And will have to valet with the restaurant when you arrive. Open space, very relaxed, not very busy on a Wednesday night. Our server was very nice and attentive. The meal moved pretty quickly, which we appreciated since they were a few screaming kids in running around. The food was pleasantly delightful. Loved the flavor of the sprouts, even though it was a little too oily. The pizza was great to share, thin crust and a generous amount of toppings. The best overall was the sea bass, perfectly cooked and a great paring with the collar greens. I wouldn't might coming back if we had friends staying at the hotel but not otherwise. read more

No one was at the entrance to greet you or seat you. We had to wait and look for someone to help us. We also had to ask someone else to give us our bill. Nice ambience and presentation at buffet but a lot of the items were not labeled so we did not what they were or if it had any nuts because someone in our party is allergic. It was frustrating because I had to keep asking the ingredients and then they would have to ask the chef. This is not good because some allergies are very serious. Food was mostly good. I didn't really enjoy the red wine sauce that accompanied the prime rib or any of the desserts. $89 per person Drinks included are coffee and water. Juice and sodas is an extra charge. They charged an extra 20% service charge on the bill that they did not inform me when I made the reservations. Total for 4 people was $460.31. Only $10 off for valet parking which was $28 for 3 hours So it was $18 to parks. They said they would charge our car but they didn't. read more

Tucked inside a hotel and surrounded by office buildings, this spot is perfect for a quick lunch escape or winding down with coworkers at happy hour. It's super spacious with tons of outdoor seating, ideal for rolling deep with the whole crew. I went with the chef's special: a dreamy heirloom tomato burrata salad and lamb chops for just $25 (yes, really). The salad was fresh and light, and the lamb chops? Tender, juicy, and totally worth it. Our server was on point, too. Overall, it's a fun, low-key gem! I'll definitely be back for happy hour (and maybe drag a few teammates with me). read more

I've been here twice for lunch. Both times I've experienced slow service. I've had the burger both times. The first time was paired with fries and the second time paired with cauliflower. I've also had the chicken wing appetizer. The food was good. Upon exit, I've had my parking validated but there is still a $15 valet fee while you eat here for lunch. I would only recommend to eat here if you were a guest of the Marriott Hotel and that you won't be in a hurry for lunch. Three stars! read more

When I am thinking of pizza and a Cesar salad this spot always comes to mind. The reason we don't dine here as locals is because of the parking. $18 for 1-3 hours, after validation. This is the cost of another entree. You all are missing a big opportunity to draw locals in. As a result the only time I'll dine here is if we have friends staying at the hotel, otherwise it makes absolutely no sense. read more

We had a nice dinner here on a Saturday night. The live music was great, it wasn't overbearingly loud, and we were seated in about less than 10 minutes. SERVICE: The staff knew the menu well and offered options and recommendations. Food took some time to arrive, but it was understandably busy at the time. We ended up ordering the Pork Chop and Pan Roasted Salmon from the main entrees. FOOD: The Pork Chop was delicious, 8.5/10! The sauce was the cherry on top for this dish and the butter beans with kale and pickled chilies paired really well together. The Pan Roasted Salmon was prepared nicely above average, although the "forbidden rice" added interesting texture but not too much flavor, 7/10. OVERALL: Prices were on the more expensive side but was expected due to its location in a nice hotel. Would recommend for a date spot since they have seating by the pool too! read more

Tucked inside the Marriott, this spot offers up delicious meals at reasonable prices. I ended up with a Farmer's Bene and it was perfect I'm every aspect in my opinion. Perfect portion, perfectly cooked and perfect enough for a picture. Service was fast. Had a meeting to attend in about 45 minutes and we made it with some time to spare. If you happen to be in the area or stay at the hotel, don't pass up an opportunity to dine here. Thank me later. read more

Had a business lunch at the restaurant that is ground floor of the Marriott. The food was okay. I would not get the Cobb again as it was below average in my opinion. Service was okay. The restaurant was not busy or loud, so good for discussion purposes. The parking was valet only. We got validated in the restaurant. I was shocked when turning in a validated ticket to be told I got the discount rate of $18 for a 90 minute lunch. I think this is unreasonable. read more

I had their avocado toast for breakfast almost everyday when I was staying there. It's so loaded and tasty. It's grilled to black by default, and they were happy to change it to be toasted instead. They may occasionally forget to toast the bread at all so it might be great to always ask. They don't have espresso based drink so you may have to bring your own if you prefer to pair the toasted with a Latte. read more

Staying here at the hotel. This restaurant and bar has the slowest service. Understaffed. Staff were not attentive at lunch today. 45 mins for food.

Honestly, I found this place to be a little overrated. We found it on TikTok and thought it would be an amazing experience. Overall, the food was tasty. We had the French onion soup, the fried eggplant and an entrée. I personally think it's overpriced. I'm sure there are tons of people that absolutely love it. Very small setting and the ambience was very nice. But overall, just a little too pricey for me for what we received. Unfortunately, we will not be back yet. Was really hoping to love this one. read more

Basic hotel food. Best to passby and not go in Parking is troublesome, with validation it is 20 bucks. When inside non one greeted me...food was pricey and not memorable. read more

What a ripoff. They lure you in by saying they validate parking, but once you finish having a cocktail and get your car you learn that the parking charge is $18 AFTER validation. The food is also pretty expensive for what you get-$18 for wings/small cheese pizza. It's a VERY EXPENSIVE cocktail when you add it all up. There are much better choices nearby for much better prices. read more

Enjoyed this restaurant while staying at the Marriott Irvine Spectrum. Wasn't too crowded and was able to be seated immediately. Menu is diverse with great fried pizzas, good pasta, mix of seafood, and decent by-the-glass wine selection. One half has two giant tvs for sports, a bar in the middle, with the other half more traditional restaurant seating -quiet and cozy. We came in late fall so can't speak to the outdoor area but looks like it might be enjoyable. If you have kids the kids portions are awesome with the kids burger having great chargrilled finish, and a delicious mac'n'cheese. Fruit as a side came in a large bowl, with fresh berries and melon. For adults the mushroom and kale pizza was awesome, and the tagliatelle with shrimp (or sub chicken) was perfect al dente. Service might have been a little "relaxed" but staff was friendly and we weren't in a rush. read more

The food was good. Everything else wasn't. If you are staying in this hotel then eat here. If you are not staying there then don't go. Not worth going out of your way. Even with validation it's $18 to park your car for 3 hours. Insane. Don't do it. Not worth it. read more

We stayed at the Marriott for a date night, but it started raining pretty hard. They closed the rooftop bar and so our only option was to eat at the lobby restaurant "Heirloom". They had seats open at the bar which is always a good start. SERVICE? The servers were super nice and inviting. They helped us right away...maybe we looked thirsty (we were) ;) We got our drinks very quickly and ordered lots of food. FOOD? My wife had the charcuterie and I had the burger and fries. Then, some wings and more fries (don't judge) Everything was fresh and tasty! Especially the fries - Yummerz! (Sorry no pictures of the food. We started with drinks and I forgot) The atmosphere was nice. There were people around but everyone kept their distance. It was nice to feel a little bit of normal. The only negative is that this place was not open early enough for breakfast the next morning. Other than that? Great experience. Nice job! read more

I have been here twice now. Once for the Easter buffet and once for regular lunch hours. Let me tell you- both times, the food has been amazing! We had a small hiccup with service the first time but the second time, the managers made it right (thanks, Melanie and Quan!). Our server during lunch, Enrique, was attentive, kind, and helpful. The lunch menu was great!! I got the burger and my mom got the Wedge salad with salmon that she would *not* stop talking about. She was obsessed! The plating was even beautiful. The whole restaurant is gorgeous, the food is great, and service is (most of the time) good but it seems like they're actively working to make it better. I definitely enjoyed myself and will be back! One small heads up: the hotel is valet only which is a con for me but some enjoy it! read more

Sat at the bar for some drinks before heading out to dinner and immediately I was not impressed with the service from the bartender. She was so busy talking with one of her coworkers to even take a look at people at the bar waiting and stop. She continued her conversation before heading over to take our order. It wasn't a "hi, how are you?" It was more of "what can I get cha?" She came off like she was inconvenienced to be working. I would not recommend this bar. read more

We first tried to go to the Hive and Honey, their rooftop bar but all their shady spots were gone and it was hot. So we left and ended up downstairs at Heirloom instead. We liked it! And they do have a Happy Hour menu, just a few items but better than none! We had some snacks, asparagus and Brussels sprouts. Both very good. I also had a salad which I enjoyed. Good service and good food. Not a bad place to do Friday Happy Hour. read more

Hubby and I came here looking for a nice, splurgey breakfast on a Sunday morning. It's new-ish and we noticed there weren't very many pics of their breakfast/brunch items on Yelp - most were dinner. But we decided to be pioneers and forge forward. As it turns out, the experience turned out to have less of a splurgey feel and more of a desolate, unappreciated feel. We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful day, ended up getting ourselves a tan because the awning right above us was broken and couldn't be closed. (Alas, we were already settled in and decided to brave the rays.) Our server was very nice but you can tell she was inexperienced. I ordered a Bloody Mary and hubby wanted to coffee. She came back to say the bartender was away and the drink may take 5-10-15 minutes. I was fine with that....except apparently that also meant hubby didn't get his coffee until I got my bloody mary! We ordered the the avocado toast to start which, when served, was very picturesque. It tasted pretty good, too, except there was only the thinnest layer of avocado on it. For the $9 you pay, they opted to give you cute little pan fried quail eggs. I think I prefer more avo over the eggs. But that's just me. As for our entrees, I opted for the Smoke Stack and hubby ordered the "chilaquile". The best part of my dish were the potatoes which I felt was more than 50% of the dish. I felt let down by the stack itself which was a scramble. The menu said it had carnitas which I realized 1/3 of the way into the stack there was very little of, a few shreds here and there. The dish overall was flavor-lite. A lot of salt was employed. I had a bite of Hubby's dish and thought it was pretty tasty (except for the nuclear red color of the chips which was somewhat disconcerting). Food notes aside, I felt the service required improvements. It was disjointed and took WAY too long to get basics (like drink refills, hot sauce, etc.). Table next to us got two iced teas because he ended up having to ask someone else for a refill. Our server, while nice, was having a hard time making change with cash and had to approach us for money back. To make things easier on her, we overtipped so she would have a nice round number to deal with. On our way out, we walked past a hostess standing at attention at the entrance of the restaurant, we made eye contact and then she quickly DIVERTED her gaze into the patio (while still standing at attention) when we walked by...didn't say a word. Ditto front desk. The MVP of our experience here was a valet guy (ponytail) who took our car at the beginning and brought our car when we were leaving. He had a great attitude and also remembered my name. Definitely wouldn't go out of our way to come back here. read more
