Sarah T.

Came here with my fam on labor day and it was the perfect afternoon activity. We did two different courses, each was 10 holes. There were so many fun and creative themes for the courses which was cool. Perfect activity for families, friends, and date night.

If you're looking for a fun group activity or celebration, I highly recommend Holey Moley miniature golf and if you're into Escape Rooms, they offer this as well. Combine that with unique bars, music and a lively atmosphere and you have Holey Moley! The drinks are on the sweet side and a little pricey but that's to be expected. We highly enjoyed the unique miniature golf themes and if you want a less busy crowd then I recommend going in the weekdays when it may be a little cheaper as well. If you're looking for some fun times, stop by!

Amazing mini golf courses!! My girl and I went here to surprise her for passing her nursing exams. To relieve her stress, I decided to booked this mini golf activity cause apparently she never mini golf before (yeap shocking). Well I want her first mini golf experience to be memorable so this is the place to be :) The ambiance is perfect! Of how I described it.. it's like going to an art museum and you can play mini golf in it :) The pop arts are so imaginative and vibrant that every mini golf courses is a masterpiece. You can have Mona Lisa with your face in it haha. We really enjoyed our experience here :) Our favorite course is the Halloween Theme on the red course ;) Their service is friendly and accommodating. I can tell every employee that works here enjoys what they do. It makes us feel like a kid in a field trip coming to this place. Overall, definitely a top rated recommendation to those that love mini golfing. A great recommendation to family and friends.. absolutely going here again :)

Holey Moley was such a trip. The place was so fun there's mini golf, karaoke, and private party rooms too! The decor was creative and they have food as well. The music vibes were chill too. The music videos displayed were fun to watch. Max was our server and he was super accommodating and nice. It's a cool hole-in-the-wall hidden indoor mini golf course. 10/10

We visited on a Thursday 3 pm with 3 kids to enjoy the golf and eat/drink. Come to find out they got RID OF HAPPY HOUR sad face all the way man. What a bummer! We remember they had it the first time we visited so we were looking forward to that. To make things worse, a server did not show up for at least 12 min (yes, I timed it) and that's unacceptable for the little amount of people in the bar/restaurant. They did have a corporate/private event going on but I don't think that should have affected the service for everyone else. My guy went to the bar to ask about ordering and the bartender woman there was awesome, she saved the day! After he went to order with her, a server did come around a couple of minutes later, and she was very nice. About 15 min after that, another young guy came around and he was super helpful. So it was either nothing or everything (haha!). Once they had the area staffed, we really appreciated the servers attention and help while we were there. I ordered the red bull cocktail that comes with tequila it was pricey at $15 but yummy. We got the nachos and that was delish!!! The toppings were plentiful and fresh. The pizza was just ok, I like the crust better than the cheese/sauce. Our kids liked it though and they really enjoyed the golfing. Very cute and fun holes with great decorations and themes and not very crowded, so that made it better.

Highly recommend for family fun, especially on hot summer days. There are 3 different zones (9-hole each). I recommend doing all 27-holes, which will take about 1.5 hours. The 27-holes all offer distinct fun, creatively blending in games like Plinko, pinball and more with mini golf. There's a bar area to grab drinks, and they have convenient water dispensing towers at the bar to quench your thirst. The restaurant area is a nice stop if you want to take a break between the sets. Nice to be able to play mini golf indoors.

Vera L.

I tried both the mini golf and the food/drinks. The mini golf area was a bit cramped but we still had plenty of space to wait our turn and go through all the different holes and courses. They were all pretty easy to complete, as most of them required around only 2-4 swings to put it in the hole. Overall it was pretty fun! We were able to order drinks on the course and they brought it to us pretty quick. They kept coming so I ordered a good amount! We also sat near the bar area and I tried a juicy steakhouse burger. They were super friendly and allowed me to customize my burger however I wanted. I added lettuce, tomatoes, onions. It included waffle fries, and I ordered a side Cesar salad too. Yum!

April V.

Had a great experience here and it's pretty good price! We did 9 holes & it was about $25 for 2 people! The holes are small and short but they're very cute! The decor and aesthetic is just fun and it's pretty well organized! There's even a little photo section for free

Maggie N.

First time mini golfing! I've never been mini golfing and this was my first experience and it was fun. We went on a Sunday and it was hot that day. Looking for some indoor AC fun. Inside they had a little bar area for some drinks and they also had food/snacks as well! We had 2 sets to play and I had so much fun, only thing was it was definitely hot inside like the AC was not on. But service was really good and the bartender there was so nice and fun. I'd definitely come back!

Marie D.

We came here for the atmosphere, and had pretty low expectations for the food. Surprisingly, it was really good. The burgers were delicious and the salads and pizza were also tasty. I'm removing 2 stars, because the service at the table was poor. No one greeted us when we were looking for a table (there should be a sign that it's self-seating) and then we waited too long to be acknowledged (there were no other patrons at the restaurant). And it was clear our server could not have cared less. We asked to have our salad dressing on the side and she told us it doesn't come with salad dressing (ummm, ok ?). But yes, there it was, and it was balsamic. And someone put it on the side. But the garlic aioli that I asked for on the side was all over my burger. Weird. I hope the service improves, because this place has the potential to be really good.

Cheyenne P.

I felt like it was worth the price but the courses were super crowded. We came on a Saturday around 1pm and there definitely could've been less parties in each section during the time frames. Overall the courses were all super cute and the themes were fun! Such a fun spot to come to with a little group.

Harvey C.

Didn't get a chance to play the games here, but I did get a chance to eat here and I was not really disappointed with the food. It's above par for a place of this calibre with burgers that were pretty delicious and pizza that you would find at any pizzeria outside. Portions are huge and definitely enough for even the big eaters. The one thing I can say is service...it is non existent and a real disappointment at the restaurant near the mini golf. . The place had one other table and no one to sit you at the host stand. Once seated you had to call a waiter for service and then you leave a card before ordering. Hopefully this gets rectified later on.

As you enter the lobby there is fun items to see

Marisol R.

This was is quite unique! The ambience is hip, with music from 90's with a twist. There is lots of creative mini golf courses to do. There is a Bar area and dining area. Lots of space for groups, and can accommodate large families as well. ( might have to call in for that if too big of a family) but overall this was a fun date night! There is a hotel next door where there are live escape rooms. I really need to try that next time! The food was yummy! Several pictures on the menu with options for healthy habits. Waiter was very nice and helpful with my choice of food. Highly recommend for date nights! First date, or any birthday celebrations! For kids highly recommend to come early as there is adults drinking in the afternoon/evenings. They do card at the door after 10 pm.

Reviews are largely positive. People enjoy the creative mini golf courses, vibrant atmosphere, and friendly, attentive staff.

Had the BEST time at Holey Moley Golf Club thanks to Stephanie!! Seriously, best server ever!! She made our whole experience way more fun, super friendly, high energy, and just knew exactly how to keep the vibes going. She recommended AMAZING drinks and appetizers that did not disappoint at all. Then she surprised us with a "Rub A Dub in the Tub" and a Blazing Apple shot, which were amazing, honestly made the whole night unforgettable. On top of that, she hooked it up with a complimentary birthday shot, which was such a cool and thoughtful touch. You can tell she really cares about making sure her guests have a great time. 100% the reason we're coming back is for her amazing service. Stephanie is a whole vibe!! Give her a raise!! read more

We came to Holey Moley and things started off really rough--bad enough that I asked for a refund. That's when ZT stepped in and completely turned the experience around. He went above and beyond to make things right, checked in on us throughout, and made sure we actually enjoyed our time. We ended up finishing all 9 holes and having a great time. To make up for the rocky start, ZT even offered to let us try a bit more and hooked us up with food on the house. Mistakes happen, but how they're handled makes all the difference. Huge credit to ZT for outstanding customer service--he truly saved the experience. read more

My girlfriend and I recently went to Holy Moly / Hijinx Hotel for the first time in Irvine and had a great time, mostly because of the manager CT. From the moment we got there he really took care of us and made sure everything was good. You can tell he actually cares about the people coming in and wants everyone to have a good experience, which you don't always see. He kept checking in on us, made sure everything was running smoothly, and was just genuinely welcoming the whole time. Those little things honestly made the night way better for us. If you're planning on going, hopefully CT is working when you visit. He's the kind of manager that makes a place stand out. Definitely coming back. read more

Our company did a staff outing here recently and it was much fun! Our pre-golf event space was really cool, lots of places to mill about and a fantastic and well-stocked bar. The staff made really fun and funny announcements for us, were great at herding us over to mini golf, and overall very friendly and enthusiastic. We enjoyed 9 holes of mini golf and... the courses were epic. Our first hole was The Armpit and featured body parts arranged on the green that we had to navigate. There were two holes in a dark and creepy room, one of the holes was like a black & white cartoon, and then of course there was Holeywood. It wass uch a different vibe than the standard outside coures with windmills and waterfalls, we loved it. We enjoyed a delicious lunch of pizza, sliders (vegeterian and meat options), waffle fries, and lettuce wraps. Everyone really enjoyed the food. The best part though... they brought out warm just-baked cookies and OMG they were SO GOOD. I enjoyed a white chocolate macadamia nut one and would go back just for the cookies. I explored a little bit as the venue is massive, there are so many fun little nooks and fun areas. I love that the bathroom is a mixed space for males and females, with private toilet stalls including ones with urinals. I definitely plan to return and visit the other areas inside of Holey Moley the Hijinx Hotel, Suit 404, and the other golf courses. Shout out to the staff who kept it so high energy for us and was really fantastic overall! read more

This place is located inside a gorgeous shopping center in Irvine…read more It's located inside, Bacchus Bar and Bistro. Which, was extremely crowded. They have tons of parking in this shopping center. They share it with TONS of other places. One of my BFFs saw this on an Instagram video and wanted to check it out. *They do take reservations When we came in we checked in with one of the waitresses. She said she would seat us in a minute. To be honest, she did forget about us. A waiter walked up to us and asked us what was going on (we were standing there for around 7 - 10 minutes) and we told him we had a reservation for the speakeasy. He immediately apologized and sat us. This camp themed speakeasy has a couple booths. It's on the smaller sides. Which, speakeasy's are usually small to begin with. I did not get the waitresses name, my friend and I were busy catching up. The waitress was nice, but not attentive. I will say service was a 2/5. However, the actual restaurant, cozy pine is located in, was packed because of the World Cup being on TV. So I definitely was not going to complain The food Our food order did come out extremely FAST. Faster than our drink orders. -the campfire guacamole -BBQ shoestring fries (had bbq seasoning all over them so it tasted like a BBQ potato chip) -Glamping plate (charcuterie board) -steak tacos (one without onion and cilantro -churro affogato Again, the food was VERY fast!! And to be honest it wasn't that bad. I'll say, speakeasy's usually shine in the drink department vs food. Drinks -Lycheed and Loaded Ketel One, lychee liqueur, lemon, elderflower. This was extremely delicious! If you don't like to taste your alcohol? Go with this. It was really refreshing. Hand this to me at a spa and I'd be the happiest gal in the world -Camp Anawanna $17 Graham cracker-infused bourbon, licor 43, chocolate, torched marshmallow (the waitress catches the marshmallow on fire at the table) This one was stronger and I didn't think it was overly sweet despite the ingredients I think they had a good selection, especially for a small speakeasy. I have been to better, so I don't think I'd return. Especially since the service was not that great. We still had a good time and recommend for every speakeasy lovers list.

We arrived on a Saturday night to celebrate my coworkers promotion and birthday. The hostess asked…read moreif we made a reservation before hand which we had not but would be able to seat us in like 15-20mins. We sat at the bar inside for the restaurant but there was a smaller enclosed area which was the speakeasy. My coworker ordered a margarita from the bar. It was mainly ice and the alcohol content was lacking in his opinion. Once there was a table available we were brought inside a cabin themed area. We ordered from the menu: Bug Juice, Devils Postpile and non alcoholic Black Cherry Bomb. The wait for the drinks was around 15-20mins and were prepared by what we believed was the same bar for the restaurant outside. The only difference was the drinks were made themed for the speakeasy. Overall the service was ok. The drinks and dessert were average. My coworkers did feel that their drinks were more on the sweeter side than just tasting much of the alcohol. A cute concept idea but did feel like the overall experience was alittle lacking with food and drinks. Parking wasn't a problem it's in a plaza with other restaurants and shops.

Really neat interior design and the exterior patio for seating is amazing when they turn on their lights. We sat in one of the booths, which was comfortable. Overall, I would say that service was only OK. there wasn't an extreme amount of attentiveness during our dining experience. but I think the food made up in that lacked area. We ordered one of the appetizers, which was fried calamari shrimp, and supposed to have fried peppers, but there were no fried peppers in it, so that was a little bit of a bummer. For the main course, I got the roasted chicken, which was absolutely delicious. Well cooked chicken, moist and juicy, and very crisp, crunchy skin, overall really good flavor. The buttered rice was pretty good, and the beans were pretty good too. The plantains maybe could've used a touch of salt, but besides that everything was really good. We were too full for dessert, so we didn't get anything on this trip I'm glad we came because it was really good. Far exceeded my expectation on the overall flavor. I will definitely be back to try other dishes and definitely recommend to other diners wanting to eat in some place delicious.

The 4 stars is for the service. Our server, Brennan, took good care of our party of 8. He was…read moreexcellent throughout and made sure we got what we need at all times. As for the food, it's 2.5 stars, thanks to the seafood tower which is really more about the quality of the ingredient than the skill of the staff at the kitchen. Otherwise, it would've been a 1.5. Let me elaborate: The bread service is okay. They should put less coarse salt on the bread. Although I understand that it's designed so you get to drink more, the salt should not get stuck in your teeth upon biting it. If their intent is to have that 'crunch,' they might as well serve it pretzel-style. Appetizer: The calamari is okay. The cocktail sauce tasted bottled. We ordered the seafood tower which consists of the lobster, shrimp cocktail, and 2 dozen oysters. Of all the sauces served, the mignonette, lemon, and Tabasco sauce are the only ones that matches perfectly with the seafood. The rest, especially what may be a mustard sauce are forgettable. They should change the recipe on the cocktail sauce. It has an aftertaste. My entree: I ordered the 23 oz dry aged bone in rib eye, medium rare. Mine came on the rare side which I don't mind. However, it's under seasoned so I had to add salt. I was offered different butter sauces for extra and I picked the bone marrow butter. It didn't enhance the flavor at all. It felt such a waste of bone marrow. Instead, they should change that recipe to a bordelaise butter a'la Marco Pierre White. Sides: We shared scalloped potatoes, garlic mashed, roasted Brussels sprouts, and sautéed broccolini. The scalloped potato was slightly undercooked and lacks flavor. The garlic mashed lacks butter. They need to add more butter and perhaps a bit of cream so it doesn't give you that gluey taste and texture. The sprouts and broccolini are okay. Dessert: Brennan comped our desserts. He served us to share: Chocolate cake, their signature butter cake (this is really good), crème brûlée, and key lime pie (this is also good).

I recently discovered the perfect spot to unwind after a long and hectic day, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The ambience is warm, cozy, and inviting, with soft lighting and tasteful décor that immediately makes you feel at ease. It's the kind of place where you can sink into a comfortable seat and leave your stress at the door. The food is absolutely delightful--every dish is packed with flavor and presented beautifully. From appetizers to desserts, the menu offers a great balance of comforting favorites and creative options. Each bite feels thoughtfully crafted, making it ideal for a casual meal or a more indulgent evening. The service is another highlight. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, always ready with recommendations or a friendly chat. They strike the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, which enhances the overall experience. What I love most is how it doubles as a hangout spot. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a quiet dinner, or just relaxing solo after a long day, this place sets the perfect tone. It's definitely become my go-to spot when I need to recharge and treat myself. read more

Last time we came here, we had a great experience, which is why we decided to come back tonight. Unfortunately, tonight was completely different and very disappointing. The burgers were extremely salty, and the pizza was also way too salty. But the biggest issue was the music. It was unbelievably loud and honestly unbearable. We came with a group because we wanted to socialize, talk, and enjoy our time together, but the music was so loud that we literally had to yell at each other just to have a conversation. When we mentioned it to the staff and asked if they could lower the volume a little, we were told they couldn't do anything about it and that if it bothered us, we could sit outside. We moved outside, but even there the music was still extremely loud. I really think management should ask all guests for feedback about the music volume, because I'm sure we weren't the only people bothered by it. There's a difference between having energetic music and having it so loud that guests can't comfortably talk to each other. We really enjoyed our previous visit, but unfortunately, tonight's experience was very disappointing. read more

Had an incredible time at Holey Moley Irvine with my family! From the moment we arrived, everything felt organized, welcoming, and genuinely well-run. We had a 3:30 reservation, and the team was super flexible with both our start time and how long we stayed, which made the whole experience feel relaxed instead of rushed.The bartenders were incredibly friendly and added to the fun atmosphere, the food was surprisingly amazing (definitely better than you'd expect for an entertainment venue), and the entire place felt very clean and well maintained.There are so many fun photo opportunities throughout the venue, which made it even better for a family outing. The mini golf experience itself was creative, entertaining, and perfect for both adults and kids. It's not always easy finding a place that feels fun, organized, and stress-free all at once, but this place nailed it.We left talking about when we're coming back. Highly recommend for families, date nights, birthdays, or just a fun outing with friends! #holeymoleygolf.usa @holeymoleyirvine #buzzybooth read more

Holey Moley at the Irvine Spectrum was such a fun and memorable stop for our Valentine's date! We played the Red Course, which includes 9 holes, and had the best time. From what we saw, there are three different courses total, which makes it a great place to come back and try something new each visit. The holes were super creative, interactive, and just the right mix of fun and challenging. I especially loved the little tips they post at each hole on how to "sink the ball," such a clever touch that made the experience even more engaging. The atmosphere that night was amazing thanks to the DJ, the music was so good and really added to the energy and overall date-night vibe. It felt lively without being overwhelming. We didn't get a chance to try the food and cocktails this time, but the menu looked really good, so we're already planning to come back for another round (and maybe a different course next time!). If you're looking for a fun, unique date night or group activity, Holey Moley is definitely worth it! read more

My review is of the hotel bar and the "speakeasy" type bar upstairs. What a great concept to have…read morethe Hijinx Hotel right next to Holey Moley and have different areas/themes/activities throughout. The lobby has the luggage cart, which is so fun and cute. Then there's the "check-in" desk for information and more. The hotel bar lobby is where's its at! Usually there's some type of private party going on in the main restaurant area or the rooms but the bar seating was open so we sat there. The bartender was awesome, she was friendly and talkative and made us feel very welcome. We ordered a couple of drinks and everything was really good, craft style and quality ingredients. Love the vibe here with the decor, barstools and lighting. The speakeasy upstairs is such a fun, relaxing space. The entry is through the cute photobooth where a sliding door opens up into the beautiful red room. The chairs and tables and booths and even the bar are just gorgeous. It feels very private and comfortable. The drinks are a little pricey here, not surprising! We arrived right at opening, so 5 pm on a Thursday and it was just 2 of us and 3 other people came in and sat at the bar. Love that they have their own restrooms upstairs. I got two of the same cocktail because it was so good!

"What in the world did I walk into? Really, what is this place?"…read more It has been a hot minute since I've been to the Irvine Spectrum. I remember back when Yard House moved to its "new" location in what used to be the old food court area... and now it's back to its original spot near where the Improv used to be (and where Fogo de Chão is now). Oh, and there's a Din Tai Fung now! Yeah, it's safe to say it's been a while. Where Hijinx Hotel is currently located used to be the 24 Hour Fitness. I don't make it to the Spectrum very often - usually only when I need a service appointment at the Apple Store. So after wrapping up at the Genius Bar, I took a quick stroll to see what was new. And there it was: Hijinx Hotel. My immediate thought was, "What is this?!" I walked in and hushedly asked the front desk, "Is this really a hotel?" After the young lady had a good laugh, she explained it was a whole host of things. As she put it, this is "Where you come to play, NOT to stay!" I asked if I could look around, and she told me to go right ahead. This place is wildly bizarre in the best way possible. It's an eclectic mix of two restaurants/bars, mini-golf, karaoke, challenge rooms, and even a hidden speakeasy that you access through a "secret" door. (Did I mention this place is wild?) I wandered through the main level and ended up heading to the challenge room floor. Just getting there is an experience in itself - you have to ride a deliberately "malfunctioning" elevator. I hesitated for a second, but thought, why the hell not? Let's see where this takes me! Once upstairs, I felt like I was in a restricted area, poking my head into various challenge rooms. At first glance, I had no idea what was happening in most of them, but they looked incredibly fun and intriguing. I noticed instructions posted on the back of each door to guide players. As I turned a corner down a different hallway, everything went completely inverted. Everything. Side tables were mounted to the ceiling, lamps were upside down, and even the room numbers and doors were flipped. There's even a tricycle attached to the ceiling! It took me a second to process what I was looking at because it totally caught me off guard - especially the doors, which initially looked like tiny cupboard doors you had to crawl into. You just have to see it for yourself. After exploring the floor, I was ready to head back down... until I realized there was no down button for the elevator. A brief wave of panic hit: Oh great, am I going to need an employee just to escape this crazy floor?! But I sighed and figured, well, guess I'll keep exploring! Just then, a hotel cast member approached me with a grin: "Looks like you're stuck here!" I laughed and replied, "I guess so! What is this place? It's so wonderfully bizarre." She explained that this is the company's very first U.S. location (it originated in Australia). She kindly offered to let me try out a challenge room, but as much as I appreciated the gesture, this isn't really a solo-adventure type of spot. Hijinx Hotel is definitely built for groups, team-building, or double dates. While we were chatting, a couple came off the elevator and was met by the host from downstairs, who escorted them right to their first challenge room. The entire venue is the epitome of eclectic - from the artwork and decor to the completely offbeat, non-sequitur vibe. "Bizarrely wild" is honestly the best description I can give it. And I dig it! I really wanted to check out the hidden speakeasy (which I hear gets pretty packed on weekends), but it was nearing 5 PM and I was running out of time. (I had just come from Dave & Buster's, terribly shooting aliens and grabbing a drink.) Oh, and I have to mention the restrooms! You walk in and it's set up for everyone - not separated by men, women, or anything else, just a shared, open sink area for everybody. But here's the best part: instead of standard stalls with viewable gaps, every toilet is in its own individual, fully enclosed room. 100% private. Honestly, this is one of the best setups I've ever seen for a public restroom, and I genuinely think it should be the norm everywhere. Why don't more places design bathrooms like this? It gives people a real sense of privacy and dignity. Hijinx Hotel absolutely nailed it! Even though I didn't get to play the games or try the food and drinks on this visit, I had an absolute blast just exploring and chatting with the "bellhops." The aesthetic and energy here are so fantastically off-beat. I really hope this place sticks around - it looks like an absolute launchpad for fun! - Big Aloha!

Definitely make a reservation here! I believe there are only like 4 booths!…read moreWe were able to secure a booth because someone missed their reservation. You will have to go through the main tikibar (Stowaway) and walk to a side door in the back. The theme is along the lines of Pinocchio. After you enter the side door, you will be transported and see a story book. You will walk through a whale's mouth to get to your booth. There is so much to look at all around so take your time admiring the decor while you drink. The tiki drinks are different from Stowaway and are delicious! It's definitely more intimate so you can talk to the bartenders. Though since it's all booths, you won't really see them make the drinks. Overall, fun spot - intimate if you want the tiki vibes in a quieter location

The Belly of the Beast - Pinocchio Speakeasy at Stowaway Tiki Bar, Tustin…read more The Belly of the Beast is a Pinocchio-themed speakeasy tucked inside Stowaway Tiki Bar in Tustin, and it's definitely a fun experience. You actually enter through the mouth of a whale, which immediately sets the tone. The decor and theming are really well done, with plenty of unique details that make the space feel immersive. The atmosphere is more intimate and private compared to the main tiki bar, which makes it a nice change of pace. The food menu is limited, but what we tried was good. The drinks were definitely the highlight. I had the Farewell Jimmy, Smoke the Monster Out, and Geppetto's Last Words--all three were great. Smooth, tropical, flavorful, and definitely potent. Service was okay, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, The Belly of the Beast is a cool place to check out if you enjoy themed bars and unique experiences. For me, it's probably more of a one-time experience rather than somewhere I'd regularly return to. Still, the creativity, decor, and cocktails make it worth experiencing at least once.

The recommendation we did take was I ordered the maple glazed pork chop and it was FABULOUS! So tender and truly cooked to the perfect medium. I made everyone at our table try it! Ended with a classic crème brûlée which was just as they should be. Thank you to The Goldfinch for an excellent evening! P.s. they validated parking which made it only $3.

Not many places hit every box of amazing food, service, ambience and entertainment but Domenico and his team go above and beyond. I took my parents sister and husband here for my bday dinner and they did not disappoint. From being greeted by the amazing beautiful Petra to amazing drinks by the bartender Brett and our server Laurent. They made my birthday dinner perfect. Domenico makes you feel like family and this is always my go to spot when we want date night or amazing Italian food. Thank you Red Room!

The manager was very accommodating and understanding to our needs. We arrived a bit late, but we…read morehad a bottle service table reserved and he made it work for what we needed. The music was by far one of the best DJs we've ever experienced, which was just so perfect and made my birthday really special. I loved that our table was so close to the DJ and it was comfortable seating for a private party and I would come back and do my party here again. I didn't eat the food but my party said that it was incredibly good. The only negative is that we ordered two tomahawks and they brought the second one out so late that we really couldn't eat it anymore. We were already way past dinner. Thank you to the entire staff, including the women helping me make the reservation for my milestone birthday with 10 of my closest girlfriends.

Calamari is always a hit here and a must order. This dinner turned into a night out we ordered a bottle and were met with cheerful bottle service ladies bubble gun included. Our waiter Sam was very attentive and made sure all of our mixers were adequately filled and made sure we made no drinks ourselves. Spot is a vibe with an open ceiling and intimate floor concept perfect for a date night or night out with the boys.

This place is pricey but so worth it! I love the Asian flavors. Got the scallop, Wagyu zabuton,…read moretruffle fries and mango rice dessert. Omg they were so good, there was a gravy with the steak and the small herbs on top were chefs kiss. Scallop had this refreshing cucumber topping. If you're looking for something different for date night definitely stop by ! Located in a small business area surrounded by corporate buildings. Parking was easy with designated front parking in the parking structure (free validation) and then you have a quick walk across the small road to the restaurant.

We got the pao, the salmon crudo, the American Wagyu hanger, and the mezze rigatoni…read more The pao was my favorite mainly cuz I thought the bread was so unique. The outer crust was super thin compared to most bread and the inside was super pillowy. The texture was absolutely amazing. It was also had some scallion oil flavoring and was seasoned perfectly. The salmon crudo was tasty but nothing like mind blowing compared to the other items. The hanger steak was cooked really well, and you could taste the wood fire. Also salted really well, was a very complete dish. The mezze rigatoni was pretty unique. Extremely savory with a good mix of texture from the al dente pasta, the super crusted sausage, and chili crunch. I liked the extreme savoriness.

I always question places getting popular off social media for the aesthetics. But someone said their drinks are amazing, and I can attest, it is true! The drinks made getting the uber well worth it. We got holiday/seasonal and regular drinks. Oscar was the best, this guy works hard! He was multitasking different sections and made sure every customer was taken care of. He so made sure to check in on everyone too. Bartenders like that are hard to come by nowadays. On top of that, this location is great on a bit of the outskirts of downtown, it's walkable to the main streets. Will definitely come back!
