    Hamachi Hand roll $7 (HH)

    Came here for Happy Hour (Daily from 4pm-7pm). They offer a lot of great specials on appetizers and drinks. Everything we tried was really good. But I must say the disco fries were the best!! The fries have truffle oil, parm cheese and rosemary salt. We ended up ordering 4 orders of them! The chips and guacamole was really good as well. The restaurant is super spacious. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. Their outdoor patio is huge! Happy hour is offered in the bar area or patio. Service was great, friendly and prompt. Had a great time here.

    Hands down one of the best chickens I've had. The green sauce perfectly compliments the chicken. The chicken is seasoned so well. Highly recommend the Peruvian chicken dish. Great job to the waiter that recommended the dish!

    Had a great experience at Warehouse 72! Shoutout to our bartender Liz and the manager Trevor for making it a memorable experience that left me with a smile on my face! (:

    My wife and I went here to celebrate Valentine's Day and this place has become one of our favorite places. Our server, Tessa, was one of the best servers we've ever had! She made the night such a great overall experience and one of the most memorable dinners because of Tessa. She recommended some really great dishes and drinks and everything we had was 100000 out of 10. And this got even better because the food was so flavorful and expertly plated. This place has some of the best food and drinks we've had in a while. The big screen next to the table had the new Valentine's Day theme and it gave the vibe an overall sleek and high end feel. Highly suggest this place, it's one of the best restaurants around.

    The drinks were great but the staff were inattentive. There was a waitress that greeted us and gave us a menu but no one showed up until about 20 minutes later to take our order. We sat in the bar because we were only drinking. The women that sat next to us also complained about the lack of attention the staff had. Pay attention to your patrons, it's literally your job

    This was supposed to be the truffle pasta... it was basically soup

    Extremely disappointed in this restaurant. We came here for a Mother's Day brunch for 10 people and would not recommend this place to anyone. Don't be fooled by the modern designs. After ordering, it took them 45 minutes to bring out appetizers... I checked in with the server multiple times and he said the kitchen was extremely backed up but at the time we went, there were still multiple tables open. How are they backed up when it wasn't at capacity yet? The worst part was when we received the appetizers, they weren't hot! Looked like they were just sitting out. Extremely disappointing. We got a variety of appetizers (brussel sprouts, kimchi fried rice, pork belly Mac and cheese, and octopus) and every dish was underseasoned. When the main dishes came out 15 minutes after the appetizers, I was extremely disappointed with my dish. I got the truffle pasta and upon receiving it, it looked like soup... for the amount I paid for this dish, I thought it would be better than what I received. Again, it was extremely underseasoned and I didn't even finish it. I would not consider this a restaurant. This is a typical bland hotel restaurant. Seems like this place is very understaffed in the kitchen when they knew it would be busy for Mother's Day. There were other tables around us that were complaining about the service as well. I took my mother, grandmother, and aunt here and was extremely embarrassed by bringing them here. They also said there was a Mother's Day bouquet station but when we went over, there were barely any flowers to make even one bouquet. This place just doesn't look like they were prepared. Overall, the food was overpriced and underseasoned, and the service was painfully slow and the servers didn't care to even check in with us. I will never come here again and you should steer clear from this place as well.

    Winter kale salad

    Warehouse 72 makes me feel like an overgrown iPad kid. I would sit here for hours and eat while I stare at the pretty LED screen. I know it's kind of random but honestly the random images on the big bright screen are fun and whimsical and I love that. It was also pretty quiet in here when we came in for NYE dinner which to be honest was exactly the vibe be were going for. The best part is we learned that valet parking is free with validation from the restaurant making this an excellent date night spot to bookmark for the future. I got the holiday pre fixe with the winter salad, seared halibut, and pecan pie. The salad was good but it was advertised as a winter kale salad and there was not a kale leaf in sight. It was still tasty but I just don't like when swaps are made without communicating (you never know if someone has allergies). The seared halibut was good and my husband got the surf and turf off the regular menu and enjoyed it. Pecan pie was solid but not better than my mom's homemade. I think I'd come back for a date night, even just to see what seasonal pics they have on display.

    NY Steak

    Ooh so I really had a great time! It was our belated anniversary date and overall pretty much everything went well! Parking is available for validation of 3 hrs for the self parking hotel guests, and then you can walk through the double siding doors and enter the hallway to the lobby and right to the restaurant. It wasn't too busy for a Tuesday night, we had reservations and got seated right near their large background screen, a lot fun visuals to experience and enjoy, especially the gummy bear one made me crave them. Haha. We tried their pear and blood orange mocktail, both are relatively sweet and enjoyable. Definitely lick or eat the salty chamoy on the rim of the blood orange and drink it together. We tried the following items: 1. Butter Board: 4/5, loved it, but I think it needed more of the honeycomb pieces, or a tad bit more sweetness due to the salted roll. 2. Caesar Salad: 4/5, a standard Caesar salad, but I loved the amount of dressing and freshness of the lettuce, there were these Parmesan crisps added, but I think they were not really crispy, but more on the hard side to chew on. 3. NY Steak: 5/5 overall a perfect medium rare steak, enjoyed it and saved it for home. 4. Truffle pasta with Shrimp: 5/5, I really loved their angel hair truffle pasta, very savory and creamy, but definitely a strong flavored dish that I think should be shared. Adding shrimp is a really good idea to get your protein. Last but not least, they surprised us with a cute chocolate type of cake for our anniversary, a perfect ending to our dinner, not overly sweet and it was deliciously moist. Overall, I enjoyed dinner and the vibes, and joined their rewards program which has great rewarding factors.

    As a new resident of Irvine, Warehouse 72 kept popping up on my feed so I gave it a try. They have a great happy hour daily from 4-7pm which is awesome. Indoor and outdoor seating and bar are also available which is nice. I actually walked here from my place so not sure what the parking validation situation is but the restaurant is inside the Hyatt Regency in Irvine and I've heard they validate. I tried the Ceviche and it was light and refreshing for a hot day. Also tried out their happy hour Sauv Blanc and Pinot Noir which was $9 each for a generous pour. No complaints here and the bartenders were all very nice too. It was nice to feel like I was on vacation without actually being that far from home. The bar has a ton of natural light during the day and has an airy feel.

    Great food! Usually these hotel restaurants are hit or miss but this place is pretty solid. Service is great. Parking is next door in a parking garage. Plenty of seating and nice clean restaurant. First time I came here I ordered the lamb chops and it was simply divine! Full of flavor and tender. Second time I ordered the salmon bowl from the lunch special but there was too much rice in my honest opinion and not enough fish. I wouldn't order that again unless a change is made. For appetizers we ordered the poke nachos, butter bread, and mozzarella. All were very good! Kimchi fried rice was ok.

    A beautiful restaurant tucked inside the Hyatt Regency. They validate your parking if you dine here so don't have to worry about paying for parking. The restaurant itself is extremely aesthetically pleasing from the dining room with a digital displayed wall, the beautiful bar top and a very spacious patio. I just stopped by here as I was in the area and only got some shrimp tacos and some fries. Both of which were really good! Looking forward to coming back again to trying some of their full entrées!

    We were very excited to try Warehouse 72, there was a lot of hype and buzz around the ambiance and experience. However, I do think it is more hype than reality. We still enjoyed our experience, the food in particular was pretty good with the truffle pasta, the fried mozzarella, and the rolls were so fluffy and delicious as well! However, the screen loses its impact fairly quickly and it's the same rotating images that all last for about 15 to 30 seconds. The service was also a little bizarre, they would randomly come mid-conversation when we didn't need anything, but when we did sometimes need something seemed impossible to waive somebody down. I think this is not a bad spot if you're staying at the hotel or in the area and really want to check it out, but I wouldn't go out of your way to come here. The drinks were pretty good, so this might not be a bad spot for just drinks late night or something like that. Food: 4/5 Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 2/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value: 2/5 Overall: 3.33/5

    Love-Lei B.

    Went in for a quick bite and was seated right away. Staff was kind and brought my food out fairly quick. Flavors were delicious in the salmon and the Carpacio was equally flavorful.

Pear Ginger Mimosa- This is a sweet and spicy drink with a strong pear flavor and a little zing of ginger. Quite refreshing! House Made Biscuits- The biscuits are hot and fluffy with a nice crusty top. Served with thyme butter and sweet honey spread. PBLT- This sandwich has a pork belly base that is savory and meaty. A bit of tomato jam gives it a nice contrast and honey bacon aioli adds a little sweetness. Crab Cake Benedict- The crab cake is fresh and poached eggs add extra bulk with each bite. The hollandaise sauce ties the flavors together. Served with a side of green salad. Lobster Roll- Fresh lobster pieces tossed in a cold mayo dressing.

The ambiance is a bit quirky and moody, great setting for a special occasion. Interesting menu with lots of variety. We ordered the grilled cheese dumplings, yellowfin tuna poke, parmesan garlic fries, ribeye, and chilean sea bass. Two clear favorites: the grilled cheese dumplings are such a creative concept -- if you love tomato soup and grilled cheese, it's basically the perfect bite in dumpling form. And the chilean sea bass was really the star of the night -- beautifully seared so it's crispy on the outside but soft, juicy, and tender inside, and the couscous paired with it really well. The one thing I'd skip is the ribeye -- the texture and flavor just didn't deliver the way the other dishes did, especially at that price point.

Wow, the food was phenomenal...but what pushed this from a 4 star to a 5 star experience were the warm towelettes and lemon for me to wash my hands with. I guess they saw me using my hands to eat their delectable empanadas, they brought a plate with warm towelettes and lemon over. Pleasantly surprised and impressed. Highly recommended, and will definitely be back. We come down to the OC a few times a month to see friends and escape our regular routine.

    Excellent Italian spot from an established chain. Food and service are excellent. Definitely try to…read moreget reservations on peak hours. It's valet parking in the front, and it can be difficult to get parking nearby (but plenty of parking in the parking structure behind the gym). Food- 5 stars wild shrimp scampi- standard but delicious squid ink tonnarelli- perfectly cooked and bright. I would recommend sharing the pasta dishes, especially with contrasting heavy and bright dishes. the squid ink and braised short rib were excellent going back and forth between them braised short rib marsala- buttery, fatty, goodness. salted caramel budino- I couldn't get enough of the dessert. Well balanced and delicious Service- 5 stars Food came out quickly and the servers and bartenders were really attentive. Bottom Line Excellent Italian restaurant from an established chain. Great food and service and always consistent

    Hete's an update, as ridiculous as this dounds - I swear this is real…read more Following up on North Italia's apology and invite to come back, I did. I went to dinner with a date and sat at the bar feeling completely safe. Within 5 minutes, the manager Tim (along with a silent individual) approached me and asked to speak with me outside where he asked me to leave the property. I explained to him the I received an apology and an invite to come back from NI on Yelp. He claimed that the response was a corp form letter response and there was no intent behind the words. I don't know who I'm more embarrassed for, me or Tim the manager at North italia. I explained to him that the apology and the invite was very customized because it identified exactly what I had to eat that evening. His response was for me to leave the premises, which I did. You can decide whether to patronage this type of organization which practices strategic schizophrenia. I have since identified an exciting authentic Italian place in Costa Mesa (Red Room). Ask for Dominico (the owner). I guarantee you he'll ensure that you have a wonderful experience. Oh, and no extra charge for serving the food hot.
