Give Kennedy a damn raise she made us chuckle a ton. Had a great time. Amazing food and great vibes. Would love to try their happy hour.

My client and I decided to try this spot out for happy hour and we both love the concept. Nothing beats wine, small bites to share and great vibes. We ordered the bruschetta board (mix and match), chicken & beef skewers with garlic yogurt, and meatballs to enjoy with our drinks. All dishes were very flavorful and paired really well with the wine. You can't go wrong with any of these dishes. Each bite was delish! Also, our server was on top of it, which we really appreciated. Love quick service and attentiveness. Highly recommend this spot for date night, GNO, or happy hour. read more

Postino Park Place - Skewers (serves 4-6), Bruschetta Board, Meatballs & Goat Cheese - Wine Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

Recent patio experience on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. was not that great. One server didn't stay with us the whole time, so messages were getting miscommunicated within the trio of waiters. The first guy was nice, easy going, and knew his stuff. However, the two other guys looked annoyed that we weren't leaving fast enough because it looked like they were getting the patio tables ready for something as they were putting down the reserved markers on the tables. Well, they didn't tell us before hand, so I'm not sure what they wanted us to do. I made a reservation in advance and put down "birthday" as the special occasion we were celebrating. They did absolutely nothing for the celebration, so I'm at a loss as to why they even ask when I made the reservation. My friend who is vegetarian wanted to sub meat on the sandwich for avocado, and he said they can't do that. That's crazy to me. He said different meats can be substituted but not avocado replaced for a meat. I hope they change that "rule" soon. Not sure why any person would pay full price for a meal when the expensive part of the dish is taken out and can't be substituted. The only saving grace at this place were the donut holes. Those are phenomenal and the only reason I added any stars to this restaurant. If I return, it's going to be to take the donuts home as a to-go order. My tuna sandwich was extremely fishy and even tasted like there was bacon fat used in it instead of mayo. The potato leek soup was not good. It was watery and had the leeks extremely limp and overly cooked. I pictured a thicker soup when it mentioned potato--nope. It was a watery mess of a concoction. I think the expression on my face must have been very disdainful because it was nothing like I pictured. The patio faces a parking lot that is partly under construction. The service is what messed up this experience for me. read more

Came here with my team after work. We were unfamiliar with the menu and what to get. Our server helped us and recommended some good appetizers to start with. We got the bruschetta board and he helped picked the toppings for us. I enjoyed the Mexican street corn one and apple fig one. He also recommended the salmon board. The cheese and salad was really good on that board. For drink I got the prickly pear lemonade. It was tasty but more on the tart side. For my main I got the P.R.E.A.M bowl. The menu is a bit confusing as it says it comes with chicken or steak skewers. But the waitress that took my order said it comes with one of each. And it costed $2 extra to make both steak. The bowl was tasty though the sauce it came with was really good. Overall a good spot to hang out if you are not too hungry. The main dish was not too filling and do not feel too heavy. read more

Stopped in with some friends and sat outside since it was a nice day. Ordered a signature cocktail, the pub board and the smoked salmon. The drink was delicious and the boards were phenomenal, lots of food had to share. The pretzel was yummy and the sausages were delectable. The smoked salmon came with all the goods and tasted so nice. Love Postino. Our server was nice and checked on us often. read more

I debated gatekeeping this spot, but it's earned its flowers. This has easily become one of my regular rotations -- I find myself here at least once or twice a month, and it never misses. The bottle and board is the move if you're easing into the menu, and the bruschetta board is consistently well-executed across the board (balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, no weak links). But the standout? The mushroom fondue. Rich, earthy, and indulgent in the best way -- paired with their house chips, it's the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after you leave. Service has always been solid, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. A reliable go-to that still feels a little bit like a hidden gem. read more

we came here randomly and so happy to have found this spot! It's such a good, relaxed restaurant that you can come alone or have a group of friends. They switch up the bruschetta board I think every so often, I was sad to not have been able to try the Italian because that's what sold me on coming here, BUT I did order the board and reallllly enjoyed -Sweet and spicy pepper jam 10/10 - Burrata, bacon, arugula, tomato 10/10 -salami pesto 2/10 -prosciutto, fig, mascarpone 2/10 Crispy cauliflower 7/10 Chicken mozzarella sandwich / soup 9/10 I will definitely be back for happy hour and another bruschetta board read more

I'm obsessed with Postino Park Place! It was my first time here recently and I enjoyed the whole vibe and menu. It has a hipster vibe with lots of references to music, like the concert fliers in the bathroom and the boom boxes on the walls as decor. They have a large wine bar, lots of happy hour specials and some delicious foods. They are known for the bruschetta bites. We ordered the flight and you get 6 options to share and then they slice them into four smaller pieces. It was a fantastic appetizer. The service was wonderful and we loved sitting on the outdoor patio. My salad was pretty good and I loved seeing the zero proof menu too! Overall it was an A+ experience and I can't wait to go back soon! read more

Postino has a lively vibe and fun atmosphere. The decor is unique, as is their menu. The servers are friendly and give great advice on what to order. The boards are great for sharing and they're also good if you want to enjoy a variety of flavors. They have a good selection of wine to go with the boards and other menu items. read more

This restaurant is such a nice and vibey place. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The parking can get crowded easily but there is a parking structure nearby that you can park at. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bruschetta and boards are a great way for sharing different flavors of the food with lots of people. Also, really liked the crispy cauliflower; the sauce on there made it really tasty! Would like to come back and try some of their other things! read more

Excellent Happy Hour Drink Deals If you are looking for a great value on drinks, this is a solid spot. I visited on a Thursday and the place was busy around 4p! Happy Hour Drinks until 5p: $7 glasses of wine, $28 bottles, and $7 pitchers of beer. It is easily one of the better values in the area for a round with friends. Food: The food remains full price. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Was very excited to try this place but I just don't think the flavors paired well together on the charcuteries. The ambience and service was nice, great place to grab a drink after work, but the food wasn't notably memorable for me. I wasn't blown away by their charcuterie options nor did I really like how they flavors went together. The bruschetta flight was also nothing to hit home about. Hopefully other people who come have a better experience than I did! read more

Another great experience at Postino. The place is quaint, yet super roomy. Lots of indoor and outdoor patio/bar seating. This place is always packed!! SERVICE: Great as usual. They sat me quickly and the servers were very nice and attentive (checked on me adequately) FOOD: I can't think of anything that I can NOT recommend. Everything is super tasty. I had the Greek hummus board and the Tuscan Tuna sandwich this evening and it did not disappoint. Always consistent and always great. If you live here and have not tried it....How dare you!! read more

Wow. This place is a hidden gem for sure - lived right next door since it opened and finally gave it a chance just to realize how amazing it is. Such a great spot for a casual date or evening with friends. Especially loved the outside patio with the string lights and plants. Didn't try to drinks this time but they looked so good (very creative/refreshing-looking alcoholic and zero proof). Plates are great sizes for sharing. The bruschetta is phenomenal. All were incredibly delicious - my favorite was the burrata, bacon, arugula, tomato. Brussel sprout salad was also yummy. Next time we'll try the drinks, Caesar salad, and a few paninis. Also heard many people ordering the meatballs and skewers, sounds like they're a hit. Only reason for 4 stars is because I felt like there were things I would have loved to see on the menu that felt otherwise missing... Amanda was our server and she was so attentive and kind. It seemed as though all the servers were the same way. Finally, the bill came and I was SHOCKED by how reasonable the prices were, especially for the quality. All including a 20% tip was under $45 - very pleased. Will be back often. read more

We were seated right away. Alec is a great waiter. There are lots of choices. I had a pick two combo. First there was a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and a very spicy sauce.

We like it here. They have a great happy hour $7 wine and $7 for large beer and tapas. We had reservations for Mother's Day around 1pm and did not have a problem sitting. Service was OK. Inside the ambiance is interesting. The patio does not have a view and is basically just the parking lot. We got a kids meal, bruschetta board, and charcuterie board with four drinks. Total without tip was less than $70. Overall, not bad! We'll be back. read more

Why is this place not in LA so I can go all the time?! I came on a Monday night and while the music was loud, the places was practically empty. Different waiters checked in on me constantly throughout my meal. I love all of the different boards. I came by myself but wish I had more people with me to taste and try everything. This is a perfect spot for a night out with friends. The build your own bruschetta board is SO CLEVER! Honestly, it was the perfect girl dinner and I was so happy and full! If I'm ever in the OC again I will be back! (Plz open a location in LA! ) read more

My husband and I met up with a friend to celebrate his birthday last year. We ordered the Crispy Cauliflower and the Meatballs with Goat Cheese from the Snacky Things section of the menu, and a Chef's Charcuterie Board listed under The Other Boards. Our friend's eyes lit up when he saw the Happy Hour Beer Special (before 5PM). Some pitchers of beer were ordered and enjoyed by the two men. With the food we ordered, the tapas-sized Meatballs with Goat Cheese was my favorite. Pomodoro sauce, focaccia, and the aforementioned cheese really tasted delicious. I thought I would like the Crispy Cauliflower because some of the ingredients were sultana raisins, capers, and romesco. I ate a little, but it wasn't well suited to my palate, so I moved on to the Chef's Charcuterie board. I liked the board's olives, cheeses, and cured meats. The three of us planned to return here with different selections, like the Greek Hummus board, and something other than the Crispy Cauliflower. Our server was smart. The birthday man had questions about the menu and happy hour and the server answered them immediately and accurately. During our lunch, the birthday man wasn't interrupted when talking; the server asked him if he wanted another pitcher of beer or needed anything else at the right times. We had a good time. The aesthetic of the restaurant and the presentation of food is unique and picture worthy. read more

The ideal girl dinner spot. Pretty fun ambiance, with plenty of drink options and finger foods. Parking can be difficult in the main area, but easier in the parking structure Food/Drink- 4 stars We tried the crispy cauliflower, a few of the bruschettas, roasted mushroom fondue, and the skewers. Everything was good, but it was also pretty forgettable. We had the chocolate donuts for dessert, which was more or less the same as above Service- 4 stars Food came out quickly but we did have to chase down servers during a peak weekend night Bottom Line Good drinks spot with some good finger foods. read more

Postino was lovely! I'm visiting family in the area and was looking for somewhere to grab a drink and dessert on a Wednesday evening. Postino provided just that! It's in a beautiful, upscale shopping center. Plenty of parking. Lovely seating areas inside and out of the restaurant. The decor is fun and funky, while still managing to be very elegant as well. Sophia and Ricky at the bar were very kind and attentive. I would love to bring my husband back here next time we're in the area together. Would love to explore more of the menu next time! read more

A great spot for lunch or happy hour! While most restaurants only offer few HH wine selections, you can choose any glass of wine from their menu for $7 until 5 pm daily. Such a great deal! I also love their bruschetta board, which offers four different options, making it perfect for sharing. I also ordered "Choose Two" of any half panini, salad, or soup. The Prosciutto Brie Panini on focaccia bread and Brussels Sprouts Salad were both delicious. Cool retro vibes, great food & wine and excellent service! read more

Despite the 3 stars given I still love this restaurant for the outdoors atmosphere and stiff drinks offered! The reason for the 3 stars is the inconsistency in the food. The Skewers are always either too bland or way too salty, and overcooked at times. The bruschetta boards are a basic dish that never goes wrong but anything else on the menu is very mediocre read more

Very cool, hip and chic ambiance indoors and a dog-friendly heated patio. Came here twice several months ago with 2 different sets of friends. The service both times were prompt and friendly but the menu and food were forgettable. They have a lot of sandwiches on their menu and both times I had a hard time finding something I wanted to order. I've had their bruschetta (all toppings and it was not memorable at all), their roast cauliflower and their chicken and beef skewers which tastes like Tzatziki sauce, not garlic sauce or toum. The skewers are good but not satisfying. My husband and friends had sandwiches and bowls and I could tell it was good food, but nothing special or outstanding. Their cocktails are a 4.5. I wouldn't come back here again unless our friends bring their dog again. Fun place for crowds but the food is pretty boring in my opinion. read more

Postino Irvine absolutely hit the spot after a long day. The ambiance inside was such a vibe and made it the perfect place to unwind with coworkers without feeling too loud or too serious. We tried every bruschetta on the board, and honestly, there wasn't a miss. My personal favorites were the Brie, Apple & Fig, the Ricotta, Dates & Pistachio, and the Mushroom & Mascarpone. Each one had its own personality, and all of them were genuinely good, not just good in comparison to the others. The Brie, Apple & Fig had that sweet-savory balance that always works, the Ricotta, Dates & Pistachio felt a little more unique and elevated, and the Mushroom & Mascarpone was rich, creamy, and super satisfying. For sandwiches, I had the Nine Iron and really enjoyed it. The focaccia bread with the smoked bacon was such a strong combination and made the sandwich feel especially flavorful and indulgent. Alejandro took great care of us and made the experience even better with his service. Great food, great atmosphere, and the kind of place that feels easy to come back to. read more

I ordered a salad (ONLY a salad) by UberEats and sadly, they didn't pack anything else. As in, no utensils, no napkins for a delivery order. Which isn't too bad except that I'm at a hotel traveling with no car, so i NEEEEED that fork. For $30, I think they could try harder. (Also, I ordered smoked salmon, which is typically NY style lox. Oddly, it was hot smoked salmon? Tastes fine, but not what you'd get at most restaurants. OR, their chefs can't read an Uber ticket?) (Back to add more: found bones (3 pin bones) in my salmon. This meal keeps getting better.) read more

It's been a couple of years since we ate here. It was just as good as I remember. The service was great, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and several people checked in on our experience. We split the chopped salad which was excellent. It had a peppery bite to it which I like, it had a nice mixture of kale, chicken and nuts and the dressing complimented it well. We split board of 4 bruschetta. Our favorite was the bacon and tomato. I thought the fig and apple was a bit sweet. The mushroom was really good too. We sat outside on a bright sunny day. They had umbrellas to keep the direct sun off of us. I highly recommend Postino Park Place. It's a great dining experience. read more

Postino Park Place - Bruschetta board- we picked four . The favorite was the Burrata, Bacon, Arugula & Tomato, least favorite was the mushroom /mascarpone . - Wine Bars Near Me - Irvine, California

Postino delivered strong retro vibes with an '80s throwback aesthetic that felt intensely nostalgic. Old radios doubled as wall art, and the indoor/outdoor bar setup made it easy to wander from patio seating straight to a barstool. THE FOOD. - Bruschetta Board (4 selections). Postino's build-your-own bruschetta board offered plenty of variety, and yes, narrowing it down was a struggle. 1. Mushroom with Mascarpone. The standout favorite, featuring buttery, olive oil-soaked mushrooms balanced by smooth, lightly sweet mascarpone. It was rich without being heavy. Highly recommend. 2. Burrata, Bacon, Arugula, Tomato. Sweet tomatoes and creamy burrata contrasted with the savory bacon, while the arugula added a slightly bitter bite to keep everything in check. 3. Sweet n' Spicy Pepper Jam, Goat Cheese. A surprisingly addictive combo with bright sweetness, mild heat, and tangy, creamy goat cheese tying it all together. 4. Prosciutto, Fig, Mascarpone. The salty prosciutto paired beautifully with jammy figs and mellow mascarpone for a classic sweet-savory balance. - OMG Grilled Cheese. A gooey, multi-cheese grilled sandwich that leaned indulgent in the best way. The tomato bisque on the side was bright and rich, with a thick, slightly rustic texture that screamed comfort food. THE DRINK. - Bloody Mary. Boldly tomato-forward with a peppery kick, savory without being over-spiced. A reliable cocktail for weekend brunch. THE PARKING. Located in a shopping center with free parking, though peak hours might require a few laps. Fortunately, we scored a spot close to the entrance. THE VERDICT. A great spot for drinks, shareable bites, and lingering conversations. The staff were attentive and impressively knowledgeable about the wine list. Definitely worth a return visit. read more

In 2025, one expects at least basic customer service, starting with a simple "Hello" or "We'll be right with you." To be completely left standing in the doorway for ten minutes on a quiet night is baffling and shows a serious flaw in management and staff training. I cannot comment on the food, the ambiance, or the rest of the service, because the establishment never got that far. If you enjoy standing around feeling invisible, this is the place for you. If you actually want to eat, I strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more
