You gotta love this rooftop bar in Irvine at the top of the Marriott hotel. It's so cute! I came here earlier to check it out and the views are incredible! The drinks look amazing. This is a great place for an after work gathering or a date or a group event or just to hang out by yourself enjoying the ambience and excitement

Old Fashioned and the Golden Hour
Roger C.

Always nice views up here. Lots of seating area and you can reserve fire pits or view seats for an extra charge. Service was great tonight. Very attentive. I would have liked all the heaters on since it was pretty cold out, but they only had the fire pits on. Food choices are good for small bites. We had some fries (huge) and some hummus. Really tasty. And, the drinks were good - had a bees knees in a bear glass. This is a go-to place for nice drinks and nice views!

Sidewinders & Beef Sliders
Alexis S.

Had dinner and drinks here recently to catch up with a friend. It was a Saturday night so we expected it to be busy, nothing out of the ordinary. But something that was, I'm pretty sure our server was drunk. His attitude towards us was just completely unprofessional, his words were slurring, and at one point he even asked my friend "You got a problem or something?" when we tried ordering more drinks. He stopped coming to the table all together which made the rest of the evening difficult having to flag him down for the check or something else. The view is nice, the food is good, the environment of the restaurant is cool, but the service single handedly is preventing me from going back. We had the corn dip, the sidewinders, and the sliders.

Sliders and drinks

The rooftop bar is at the top of a Marriott hotel. Parking for the hotel/bar is valet only but you can park across the street for free. My friend and I came here with a reservation starting right before sunset. It wasn't busy when we came but ended up being packed toward sunset/after. We started off with some drinks. They're around $15-20 each. We shared the sliders that come with 3. They're good but overpriced. There was a little thing on the menu that said if you join Marriott rewards you can get complimentary sweet potato fries. Those were very good. Overall, it was a good view but overpriced food and drinks.

Stopped by for a drink after attending an event at the hotel. What a great view and ambiance! Since I only had cocktails, look forward to coming back to try their food.

This place has a beautiful view and is the perfect place to catch the sunset. I went last night and 1/3 of the place was reserved for a private party, 1/3 was closed off for no reason and the other 1/3 was where they wanted all the people to gather. It was a small area near the bar and elevator and we had no view, so we asked to get seated elsewhere and they said there was nothing available. I was a bit confused since people kept walking in and getting seated elsewhere. For drinks, I ordered champagne and it came in the worst glass I have ever seen (pictured below). For $18, I want a better presentation. My friend got a tequila drink with chamoy and it was soooo sweet and was mostly ice for $23. I won't be back.

Love the vibe and the view. Definitely a great date night spot or a place to impress. The food is on the spicier side. At least what we ordered. Our service was excellent! The drinks were delicious and strong. There was a dj spinning some tunes. Parking is valet. We ubered so I'm not sure how much the valet is.

Sliders
Kimberly H.

Shout out to Mikah our server who provided excellent service with very detailed explanations on both food and drink and our host who sat us in the best spot to watch the sunset. Came here on a Saturday just after 4pm with no reservation mid-January and were seated right away. Great rooftop chic ambiance. We got the jalapeño margarita, orange beer, blonde beer, and a rose, the sliders, and a cheese bread appetizer. Food was OK. Total was less than $112 before tip. Parking is valet only and $15. This spot is close enough to Spectrum mall so if you're down to walk .4 miles there and .4 miles back you can save on the parking and skip valet.

Rooftop
Facundo B.

Service is always prompt and very nice. Out waiter was very nice and professional as well as helpful in ordering when we were ready. The food is always incredible and very tasty and fresh I would highly recommend the wings! The views are incredible even without the premium tables purchased for your reservation! I have been here about 3 times total now and I love every time and will continue to be coming back!

The sunset hour view
Areli S.

Omar did a great job attending us. As soon as we walked in the environment sink very welcoming and everybody was so friendly. There's a lot of lights and fun music even a fire pit to stay warm in the 360 rooftop bar and restaurant. Highly recommend.

Beef Sliders
Ann L.

One of very few (maybe only) rooftop bar/lounge/restaurant in the city of Irvine. Went for a light meal and drinks with a couple of friends. Was a nice sized rooftop space and the day was clear and sunny so was very inviting. Heard the view is better at night so may think about stopping by again in the future. On the other hand the food was just so-so. We ordered the beef sliders which were just meh and the beignets which were cold and dry. Maybe we ordered the wrong appetizers. The drinks were also ok. Will have to try again at night. Nice it's close to home but would love to enjoy the food and drinks too.

The Siren (it's spicy)
Gina L.

Drove out from Riverside to try this place. Made reservations for 2 and we each tried a couple drinks. My friend had their espressomartini and "the siren" specialty drinks which I also had and was delish! I also tried the "spectrum sunset" which was okay. We shared the few appetizers bulgogi spring rolls (yummy), sea bass ceviche (needed salt), and achiote skewers (amazing!). Our dinner reservations were at 6:30pm and we arrived on time & seated promptly. The set-up and view is amaIng! .every seat has a great view. We really enjoyed ourselves and our appreciate our waiter Alex's service. It is certainly a more expensive place - 4 drinks & 3 appetizers almost $200

Barb B.

Love this place! Perched a top of Marriot in Irvine spectrum. This rooftop bar is gorgeous. Views of the city and the aesthetics is top notch! Food is decent, but who goes here for the food anyway? Service is hit or miss but for tonight, they did a great job. Fun place with Dj and music Friday and Saturday. Pro tip they take reservations

From the moment you walk in, it's giving cozy campsite vibes but elevated -- like if camping had good lighting, great cocktails, and zero bugs. We had such a fun night here. The ambiance alone makes it feel like a whole experience, not just drinks. We tried a few of their specialty cocktails, all super well done, but the real highlight was our server John. He was amazing -- attentive, fun, and clearly knows his drinks. At one point he made us an off-menu cocktail that was STRONG (in the best way) and honestly one of my favorites of the night. And the attention to detail?? He even let me borrow his hat for photos so I could fully commit to the camping aesthetic 10/10 for the vibes. Overall: such a cute, unique spot for a night out. Perfect for something a little different, a little playful, and definitely memorable. Would absolutely come back -- as long as it's this kind of camping.

My friend and I both got the autumn salad: mine with a crab cake, hers with steak. Another friend ordered the steak and fries. My salad was fantastic, and the crab cake (both as a topping and as a starter) was a hit across the table. Everyone was happy with their food. Cocktails: The current theme is classic cocktails, and the space definitely leans into that old school martini bar vibe, very classy. Drinks were solid. I ordered the mango cocktail (can't remember the name) and it was a little on the sweet side, but not overly so. Still enjoyable. Service: This is really why I'm writing the update. Erica was our server and she was AWESOME. She noticed my friend's steak was overcooked and immediately replaced it even though he said he'd eat it because he was starving. That kind of attention and care is rare. Someone please give her a raise. Parking: They validate if you park in the Marriott lot Vibe: For a Thursday night, it was surprisingly busy in the lounge, in a good way. Tons of people out and about adding to that chill, lively Thursday evening energy. I loved the blue glow from the outdoor fire pits. Next time, I'm definitely taking my YNK drink outside for a few sips.

Decided to finally give this location a try and I was not disappointed. We decided to splurge and started off with the Dungeness Crab Cocktail and Wagyu Beef Roll. The Crab Cocktail was served with an amazing smoky presentation. Each piece of crab was so sweet and moist. The Wagyu Beef Roll was kind of a weird mix of flavors with aspaagus, jalapeno, and the sauce. For our entrees we ordered the 22oz Bone-in Ribeye with Peppercorn sauce and the Crispy Garlic Bigeye Tuna Sashimi. The Ribeye was cooked to a perfectly juicy Medium Rare and the Sashimi was packed with flavor. The sides we ordered were the Scalloped Potatoes and Creamed Corn. The Creamed Corn was some the best I've had, but our potatoes were undercooked and hard. Our server was quick to swap them out for the Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which were much better. Overall the food was top notch and the service was on point. I used to come here when it was Del Frisco's and I'm impressed with how they remodeled the interior to achieve more of a fine dining atmosphere.
