    Everyone knows Gary and there's a reason why. He is super helpful and all around a great guy. Lots of beer on tap, and everything from beverages to food are really competitively priced. Outside area is dog friendly.

    Steak Caesar salad

    They changed the menu around, which kind of stinks. I like the old menu I felt like it had a fresher take on food in general. The fish tacos now are fried, and in my opinion overly fried. They have a lot of outdoor seating and it's very dog friendly, but I'm just not digging on the menu

    Boooo

    BOOOOOOOOOOO! Really?? Are you guys trying to destroy your customer base? Crew members working in the Bar are GREAT! Management NOT SO GOOD!

    Mimosa and Orange juice
    Allen D.

    Only a 5-minute drive from my home, this place is super convenient and family-friendly spot for brunch or dinner. Located inside whole foods, my girlfriend and I went in for brunch after our epic tennis match in a sports park nearby(I won). We needed a good refuel and decided to eat here beating TEDS and plumeria nearby. We both split a plate of steak and eggs and also tried their crunchy bacon with maple syrup on the side. We had a mimosa and OJ for beverages. The steak was a bit tough to chew but the avocado salsa made up for it. Also included were these cute little breakfast potatoes that were perfectly bite-sized(way better than breakfast potatoes). The maple bacon, however, was sooo good! sweet and savory and sticky and deliciousness. Our server was great and food came out on time.

    Fish tacos- spicy

    We usually enjoy the food here but service is lacking. I like the brunch items and several items for lunch and dinner such as the fish and chips, steak frites, steak Caesar salad, burgers, fish tacos, orange chicken, cauliflower nachos, and fried shishito peppers. I do not like the chicken wings because they were too salty and I did not like the seasoning. The calamari is also not good. It's just different with the olives and I did not like the dipping sauces. Most of the time we find that we are always waiting a long time to find a seat and get a waiter's attention. It seems that if you sit at the bar you get better service.

    Pulled pork & Cajun fries

    I've been here a few times now, previously for drinks, and recently we tried brunch at Rock-It Bar. Yes, it's located inside the Whole Foods - Laguna Niguel, but the food is pretty delicious and they serve alcohol. My boyfriend and I decided to split the chicken & waffles with a side of potatoes. I ordered the Stumptown coffee on nitro and he had the fresh orange juice. I was given a small container of raw sugar and cream. I kind of wished they had given me simple syrup because raw sugar doesn't exactly dissolve in cold coffee. I'll ask next time. We had a few servers stop by our table and it seemed like we didn't have a designated person so there was some initial confusion when our drink orders were put in by one server and our food orders were taken by someone else. In the end, we got our drinks and food in a timely manner. They even put our split order on two plates which made it easier on us. First of all, the food is fantastic. This is one of the best chicken & waffles I've ever tried. The chicken was wonderfully seasoned and moist. My boyfriend said it was like chicken his grandma would make and that's saying something because he's from the South. The waffles were slightly crispy and fluffy. The syrup wasn't overpowering and it went well with the chicken. Normally, I'd ask for ketchup but I didn't need it because everything tasted great. However, despite the roasted potatoes being perfectly cooked, the cheese on top didn't exactly melt all the way before the sauce and pico de gallo were piled on top. That was the only issue I had with our meal. It was the perfect portion for the two of us since we didn't want leftovers, and they accommodated our requests. They serve cage-free eggs here which is great too if you're into that sort of thing. Otherwise, they have happy hour from 4 - 6 pm Monday - Friday and live music on Friday nights. Now, I want to check out the Irv inside the Whole Foods in Irvine just to compare.

I order it wherever I can find it. Fancy places, bars, pubs, you name it... And this one takes the cake. It is so tender. It's not fatty or chewy. It's just melt in your mouth perfect. The chef told me it takes him 18 hours to prepare. I was shocked! That's extremely unusual for a pub. That's 5 star quality and care. This pub has a lot of soul. We stumbled upon it looking for places on yelp that serve Guinness. That was 2 weeks ago, and we've been back 3 times. The vibe is fun! They have darts and pool and lots of TV's. Live music, Karaoke, Trivia... you name it! All the things you want in a neighborhood pub. The staff is super cool and very friendly. I can see why this place has made it all these years. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves good food, nice people, and a good pint.

It can get crowded at times so we tend to enjoy the excellent HH food. Rueben tacos are great, very affordable prices on food and drinks. Outside of happy hour, we have enjoyed Irish stew which is excellent and big portion easy meal for 2. Rueben sandwich is also a favorite, so good! Husband had Guinness which you can't go wrong, I had old fashion which was delicious and generous. Highly recommend if you like American Irish bar food and great environment, you won't be disappointed try them out

First, there's the sophisticated bar, which is smoke-free and the perfect spot for high-end spirits and amazing cocktails (The Gov'ner Old Fashioned is a must-try!). The staff are welcoming, friendly, and always smiling! They've started adding some events to the schedule, like Whistlepig/Cigar tastings, Cajun Boil, Macallan tastings, and wine tastings. They're also introducing a late-night happy hour with food and live music, which is a great way to enjoy a sophisticated drink when most restaurants have closed in the area. The second part of the lounge is the two cigar lounges: the day lounge and the VIP lounge, which has lockers. Both lounges have high-end luxury seating and lots of screens for all your favorite sports. The staff keeps the lounges clean with friendly service. At the back, there's a walk-in humidor that's well-stocked with a great selection, including Davidoff, Padron, Opus X, Fuentes, My Father, Foundation, and Placencia, just to name a few. The Winston House stick blended by Placencia is an incredible stick for an exceptional price! Both lounges have a bunch of friendly regulars, so it's always easy to find conversation, or you can just relax and enjoy the moment! This place is a hidden gem that I consider to be the best cigar lounge in SoCal!

I have now spoken to 3 people on the phone, and twice in person, to discontinue my membership as I travel often and don't utilize it often. Over the course of almost 5 months, they did NOT grant the refund, in fact, I'm being charged more now for my membership even though I am grandfathered in. Once I posted this review, this is the response I received via email. From Rick (CEO and Managing Partner) "NO that will not happen. No one promised you a refund to October. As I promised I will refund your last payment." If you're considering making this Winston's Club home, my suggestion is to go somewhere else. Their behavior is that of a company on the verge of closing.

I absolutely loved our bartender, I wish I'd caught her name. She was working the dance floor bar. I don't drink anymore and just read that Club Soda is sugarfree and Tonic Water has sugar. So I ordered a Club Soda with lime and she was like, "that's my drink too!" and did you know that O blood type should drink club soda? No, I did not know that. I came back for many during the evening. We were with a big group celebrating our friend's birthday and it was a lot of fun. At one point I asked the band (and tipped $20) if our friend Mark could sing Purple Rain. They obliged, he killed it, it was a fantastic time.
