    This spot popped up on my Yelp, and I was honestly surprised to see it tucked right next to the golf course. Such a hidden little gem. The restaurant: I really loved the space. The outdoor patio has a gorgeous view; definitely the highlight. Inside, the bar area has a very chill vibe, and the lounge spaces (both indoors and out) make it a place I'd come back to just to relax and hang out. Food: The poke bowl was about 70% rice, which was a bit disappointing. The sandwich, though, was absolutely delicious. The chicken tenders were solid and hit the spot. Service: The waiter was pleasant and welcoming, but I do wish the service had been a bit more attentive. We had to ask and remind twice for things like water and a straw. Prices: Fair overall for the ambiance and location.

    A good restaurant! When you enter the restaurant, you can quickly see that it's very beautiful very bright light and well taken care of. It is a self seated restaurant so we can come in. You just pick a spot to sit and they will go ahead and come to you. The servers are very quick, very fast, super polite and they check in often with you. The spinach artichoke dip is solid! A very good choice if you're looking for a share appetizer! It does taste very similar to Costco's! The Mexican street corn was just okay. The only flavor you're really getting is a lime flavor and I'm sure that is because they use the juice to make the cheese stick to the corn. I would definitely pass on this. The Fish and Chips are great! Both the fish and chips are super crispy and come with a great sauce and good coleslaw! The poke bowl was good as well! It comes with a ponzu sauce that really gives it a lot of flavor. The tuna was nice and fatty! If you come on a Tuesday, they do something call tacos and tequila, and they have $7 dollar margaritas which is nice and very affordable! Overall, this was a great place to eat, not everything on their menu is the best but the amazing service plus beautiful view definitely helps it out!

    Tucked away, quiet with plenty of shaded outdoor seating for a lovely meal and beautiful views. They also have indoor dining and a full bar. Small menu that covers all the bases with affordable large portions. We had the South of the Border salad with chicken and a Hole in One Club sandwich. They were delicious!! Throughout, the service was outstanding. This will definitely happen again!

    Came in on an NFL Sunday after shooting 100 in the AM. Love the new club house. Very clean and modern, good setup with the bar and Multiple screens, then the couch with the big TV. Ordered the Loaded tots (good) Wings (amazingly crispy, hot and juicy), a bucket of beers (Not a bad deal for Modelos!) a Club Sandwich with fries was great, and the homie said his burger was good. Add 2x tequila shots of Lalo, and the bill came up to about $150. Not bad, but definitely not cheap eats. If they have drink specials here for other things, this is definitely a cool place to stop after or before a round. The service is pleasant and the food is decent. I'd say it's worth it to stop in, but not tell a friend to meet you there for drinks to watch the game.

    The experience at The Terrace is lovely. Some will just say it's the 19th hole of a golf course, but this restaurant/bar is awesome. As a non-golfer, this is I guess hole 1 for me since I would have never made it through 18 holes of golf, but regardless of if you're a golfer or not you're welcome here and there's even a separate parking lot. Taco Tuesday is also not just a great deal at The Terrace but the tacos were also really good!! I went to a crappy looking late night taco place that everyone raves about in Downtown LA recently, and these tacos are equally as good in my opinion and come on an actual plate with chips and salsa, not a flimsy paper plate. The Taco Tuesday margaritas are also top notch and the terrace views are superb. The service is a bit slow but considering I was also not wanting to be rushed, it was a nice and relaxing experience. Hope to become a regular here since the prices are so good for the quality of food and ambiance I'm getting!

    Views, check! Taste and price, check! Service, I can't speak for the whole staff but if you have Nia (I hope I spelt your name correctly) then you are in GREAT hands! The drinks were amazing and the food was phenomenal. You honestly can't beat the view. The only downside is sometimes the other guests get a little out of hand with their drinking which could harsh your time there but thankfully it did not ruin my visit. I absolutely recommend The Terrace is you are in the area!

    Shrimp Gochujang Pasta
    Savannah F.

    We came here because the reviews were great (but a little misleading). We weren't greeted when we entered. Had to approach the staff and they just said we could sit anywhere. Then the menu was kind of tossed at us. They weren't super busy. We came at around 1:30. It was very spacious. Some of the staff were idle. I say the reviews are misleading because they offer a free dessert if you rate them and you have to mention the server's name. That's nice and all but I think most of the reviews become biased. The table near us had much better service though. We heard them chatting up a storm with the employee. The employee also explained the menu better to them. We didn't get that kind of service. I also feel like making my reservation was pointless. There was no need to make a reservation and they didn't even check. I was not okay with the employee that grabbed rags to clean the tables. We were asking her for some assistance but she refused to help us and said it was our server's job. What could have been better was her attitude and if she told our server that we needed help instead of dismissing us in a rude way. The food was okay. A little on the saltier side to what I prefer. The noodles were a little hard and some of them were bunched together. The Gochujang pasta was not spicy at all. Which was nice for me, but I was also a little surprised since I am sensitive to spice. Other places I've been to with this variation of the dish were all spicy. I like that little kick to it actually, so it was more of a cream pasta or pink sauce. What bothered me were the flies. There were many flying everywhere. I kept having to wave around during my conversation with my friend. It was distracting and unappetizing. I'm just glad I didn't find a fly in my dish. Another little thing that bothered me was the price of the drinks. I usually get an americano. It was priced at $6 here, which was a little more pricier than other places. But what shocked me even more was if you wanted it iced, it would be an extra dollar. This would bring my americano to $7, which I think is a little ridiculous since it's not like they craft their own coffee (or I'm not aware that they do). I was more confused about the iced part. It's the same ingredients, espresso and water. I guess the ice costs more in Irvine.

    Aloha Poke Bowl Ceasar Salad w/ Chicken made into a wrap
    Meleia O.

    The Terrace is located next to a golf course with ample seating, shade coverage, and good parking. We were informed that we could sit anywhere, so my friend and I sat outside to feel the nice breeze for our lunch date. The atmosphere is calm/relaxing. Being located in Irvine, it's a nice change of pace from the busyness of the city. Our server was quick and came by our table often. There were no complaints about the service since she was nice and checked in frequently. I ordered the Aloha Poke Bowl, and my friend ordered a Ceasar Salad with chicken, made into a wrap. The poke bowl is HUGE! For $24, the price is justified for the size alone, but the quality of the tuna and all other ingredients tops it off (sauce: ponzu). I enjoyed this meal, but since it was so large I took the rest to go. Additionally, I requested avocado on the side because I have an intolerance to it, which was not a problem for them to accommodate. My friend also only finished half of her wrap since it was so filling. She said that it was yummy, and gave the rest to her boyfriend to try. I plan on returning to try their kimchi fried rice and hangover ramen!

    Kimchi Fried Rice

    We decided to come here after a long hike at Irvine park on a Saturday afternoon , because the food look amazing in the photos. The restaurant is nestled into the golf course there and have a beautiful view overlooking the greens. Although they have a full menu and bar it's more like a cafe that day where when we came, as it was self seating. We were seen about 5-10 mins after sitting down which wasn't so bad! (As POC we were unsure what to expect!). The food ended up being really good and the drinks were fantastic, I had a Bloody Mary and and Irish Coffee. We liked the server a lot, and I would definitely love to come back to try their breakfast.

    Crispy chicken sandwich
    Harsimran s.

    Met my husband for a quick lunch at the Terrace. It's been on my list for breakfast- so hope to be back to try that and Tuesdays for Tacos (everyone raved about them). We shared a crispy chicken sandwich and a bread pudding. Both were great! Nice and clean restaurant- parking is abundant. Low key vibe. Service was slow, but Bobby and the bartender were very kind.

I do not understand why you offer reservations if you will not actually honor the system. Around 8 pm, we asked if we could order as they had only brought water. Listen I understand. You're closing soon. You only had 1 server for the entire restaurant the weekend of Valentines. You have to go lean on the busiest last weekend ..? I don't actually understand. When all came to, they were not offering dessert because "they were saving it for Valentine's Day". No notification about when their kitchen closed and no asks if anybody wanted to order for to-go. On top of that, everyone did not have free parking and had to pay upon exit even with validation. You will do great as a ghost kitchen since the food was good and everyone enjoyed it. If you come back as a full service, I would seriously reconsider how you do business.
