The owner reached out to confirm our reservations and when we arrived, the awesome service continued! I'm not a big fan of pasta so I was a little worried about what to expect when we got there but everything we ordered was amazing! I'm def coming back to try their other items. Live music, good food, great ambiance... totally recommend!

The pictures I took do not capture the essence of the experience, next time I'll make sure to capture better pictures because it truly deserves to be showcased. What really sets this place apart is the customer service. From the moment you walk in, the hostess, the staff, and even the owner make you feel right at home. Their warmth and attentiveness enhance the experience, ensuring that you'll want to come back, even if just for the service alone. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, making it a perfect setting for a nice dinner. It's clean and has a wholesome vibe that's hard to beat. And to top it off, there's live music that adds to the overall experience, making your visit feel special. If you're looking for a great dinner spot, I highly recommend The Red Room. It's a place where flavors and service come together beautifully!

    If you're looking for a "third place," they truly put the "community" in "community theater" here…read more Everyone is open and friendly. It's a great place to make friends or have a cheap date night. I watch at least 2 shows a month here. If you've never seen improv before, I'd recommend watching Teacher's Lounge, which performs the first Friday of every month at 9:30pm. They invite an interesting guest to tell true stories and the performers (who all teach improv) create longer scenes based on the stories we just heard. They offer improv classes. There is a drop in class open to all levels on Wednesdays, 101 classes offered a few times throughout the year, and advanced classes. It's not all improv. I've watched drag shows, a sea shanty night, and a fictionalized beauty pageant. The theater also hosts fundraising shows to support nonprofits. They're located inside the Starlight Theater. When you enter, make an immediate left to purchase a ticket or show your online ticket. There is parking in the front and the back (off McClintock Way). The theater has two restrooms in the back.

    Went here for date night to see the Classy Lady Improv Team and had an amazing time! I've been to…read moreimprov shows before, and this one definitely delivered. The theater is small and intimate - looked like they're prepping for Peter Pan, which added a fun touch to the atmosphere. The all-female cast was a standout! Super funny, fast on their feet, and clearly had great chemistry. I was laughing the whole time and the games were creative and entertaining. The vibe felt welcoming and community-oriented. One small suggestion: when asking the audience for ideas, maybe give women the first chance to respond- it'd be a nice nod to the cast. Tickets were super affordable ($5 cash / $7 card [we bought ahead on Eventbrite]). Highly recommend for a fun, low-cost night out!

    I've been to Irvine Improv three times and have enjoyed the place every single time. Though I've…read moreseen my fair share of stand up through different venues, the intimacy and status of the Improv is something that cannot be replicated anywhere else. It's located in Irvine Spectrum so there are a lot of places to stop by before or after the show. Line management has been fairly organized every time I went. It gets a little crowded when you end up seated anywhere else but the booths and barrier. I also feel like I'm straining my neck looking at the stage since the table seats are facing perpendicular to the stage as opposed to towards it. There is a two order minimum, but the food has been decent. Got some shrimp tacos and shared nachos with my party when I went. Overall a good time, but ergonomically a bit uncomfortable. The entertainment far outweighs everything else though, so this will remain my go-to stand up spot.

    1 extra star for the comedians…read more All ordering is done through QR code. The food runners will then bring your food out. I say food runners because they are not servers. Servers take your order and provide a service. These people literally just bring your food. They will charge you $15 for a refillable iced tea. Laughable. Enjoy that and your soggy quesadilla. Then you can expect your food runners to come out before the show is over and completely interrupt while you're trying to enjoy the end of the show. They will spin a tablet around at you that has a 20% tip automatically added and harass you into signing while you're trying to watch the end of the comedian you paid for. Word of advice. Close your tab out online before they have this opportunity. Then you can tip appropriately and enjoy the end of the show without being interrupted. Although you will have to listen to them harass everybody around who did not know this tip. Super fun. Highly recommend taking the opportunity to see comedians at Sofi, the forum, and any other venue where there is no minimum requirements for purchase and you order standing up, therefore not be harassed until leaving a 20% tip for no service.

    I honestly had no idea this place was here (I guess I'm not cultured lol)…read more This place did not disappoint. It's in a really nice area of Costa Mesa close to a bunch of hotels, south coast plaza and some of the best restaurants. (So many options for you to pick from and have dinner before your show) The architecture of the building itself is really beautiful. I would say it's a little tucked in, because I am always in this area and have never seen it before. The ambiance inside is nice as well. It's extremely clean This place has a parking garage and valet. Unfortunately, we had no idea they had valet. So we just automatically parked in the parking garage. But they do have a little walk way that is extremely easy to get to the building from the garage The lines went extremely fast for getting into the building. There was no restrictions on handbag size. ( or at least they didn't say anything to me about it / could differ from show to show and who is performing) All I had to do was open my purse and walk through a metal detector. Everyone was so friendly Once we entered the building, there are tons of staff directing you where to go if you need help finding your section They do have stairs when you walk in, but they have elevators. I chose to walk up a few stairs and then take the elevator to get to our seats We had second floor box circle level seating. It was extremely easy to get to the seats and the lady who took us to our seats was extremely kind and helpful She also gave us the rules - No placing your handbag on the railing, no video or flash photography I can't stress enough, the importance of elevators and it being accessible. So 5 stars for that The bathrooms were very clean and had a great amount of bathroom stalls. So there was no line I only saw one very tiny stand where you could get refreshments. I did not get anything, so I don't know what they had to offer (such as alcohol or if they had any food) The write up online for the show we went to for Tchaikovsky's Fifth & Avi Avital Pacific Symphony -Experience Tchaikovsky's Triumphant Fifth & Mandolin Virtuoso Avi Avital!

    YELP INSIDER TIP FROM DOREEN (AKA AZN PERSUASION): This show is now in Santa Monica at MI Westside…read moreComedy. I give the venue and the 10pm Saturday night Improv Show 4 stars. I give 12 Shiny Nickels 1 star. ***** MI Westside Comedy is in the alley between 3rd street and 4th street south of Arizona directly behind the big Santa Monica Parking structure on 4th. If on 3rd street, go into the food court that has the McDonald's, Candy Baron, Subway and walk thru to the alley in the back. This place is small, has a small bar, but if you go on a good night, like the Saturday 10pm improv show it's pretty good and worth it just for the comedy. I went to the 11pm show 12 Shiny Nickels, but caught the tail end of the 10pm show. If you pay for the 10pm show, they let you stay for free for the 11pm show hoping the lead in will have audiences stay, which should say something right there... 12 Shiny Nickels is described as, "Each show features twelve of the best standup comedians in a row doing their best five minutes of material. We have rotating lineup over 80 comics with a new lineup every week." The night I went was not great. If anything, most of the comics were unfocused, new, and got off the stage before their 5 min were up. I now question the phrase, "the best standup comedians" as what they are best of isn't qualified... My Boo said he would go back, I would not.

    Just when I thought I had seen all the comedy shows in LA, I found out about the 12 Shiny Nickels…read moreShow at the Gardner Stages. Your ten dollar admission includes an hour of standup comedy, twelve comics, and... (hope you're sitting down for this)... ALL THE FREE BEER YOU CAN DRINK. Holy moly! I don't know how they can charge so little but I'm there! Decided to check it out because Andy Dick was suppose to be there taping for his new reality show (gotta love watching a train-wreck). The doors open at 10:30pm and the show starts tentatively at 11pm. We arrived a few minutes before 10:30 and were the only people there for awhile. Next time, I'd come closer to 11. It's a little bit of an adventure getting to the theatre, it's located right behind Toi on Sunset Blvd. You go down an alley on Gardner street that looks like something out of Gothom City. A nice man is there to give you a wristband and take your $10/online reservations. You then go down some TREACHEROUS ridiculously steep stairs. Keep in mind, NOT an excellent place to wear your stilettos... Also, quite challenging after drinking boat loads of Tecate. At first, I was a little skeptical about the unlimited free beer but lemme tell you, they are not kidding! There is a bar stocked with canned beer (Pabst, Miller, Tecate, etc.) and you can get up and have as much as you want before and during the show. The show was very entertaining, although it was a little disappointing that Andy Dick didn't show. They were nice enough to let us know he wasn't going to come and offered us refunds before the show started. Not some of the best comedians I've seen but hey, what do you want for $10 and free booze? Halfway through the show they gave away free prizes to people who ordered their tickets in advance... I got a VHS copy of Men In Black 2!! Way better than the guy before me that got an at-home-pregnancy-test kit! Whoo hoo! Really nice people run this show, definitely will be back with more of my beer guzzl'n, comedy love'n friends.

There is a lounge bar area for you to relax with a drink if you like before it all starts. You get assigned to a table (all the seats in the house are great because the performers go all around the room.) The three course dinner happens between the three act show. Funny, funny, funny plot where someone dies and it's up to you to figure out who did it. Play along to have the most fun! ...and don't forget to pay attention. The performers are your servers! After you fall in love with them ...go get your photo with them for memories after the show! Fun for all! Worth a try!
