Rosemary Fries
Cathy P.

Very nice restaurant located inside the Irvine Hyatt Regency. Very spacious with indoor and outdoor spaces. We ended up taking their Rosemary fries togo since I just wanted a quick snack. Food came out in less than 10 minutes. Fries were piping hot and fresh. They gave a generous shareable portion. The fries were nicely battered and seasoned well. It was a tad on the saltier side so I'd probably ask them to tone the salt down a bit next time. Otherwise, a very solid snack. They also offer up to 3 hours validation for parking if you dine with them.

Love that this places offers a great variety of items to choose from and conveniently located within the Hotel. I was excited to check this place out after a day of travel. I'm glad that they didn't disappoint. Food came out relatively quick. The Kampachi Crudo was delicious but could've got away with less sauce. The drink (Arancia Fresco) was well balanced and the truffle pasta could've used a bit more flavor. It was still enjoyable and love the SoCal vibe. There's an option to sit inside, by the bar or outside. Would love to comeback and check out the other items on the menu.

I would give a 3.5, but rounding up to 4~ Bf took me here for my birthday, we had reservations for a Friday night, but it wasn't needed since it was pretty empty when we arrived. It's located inside a hotel, so finding it took a little bit of a walk. There is ample space with many tables available and a bar as well. The view looked nice if we were to sit outdoor on the patio, but it was getting chilly by the time we were seated around 8 pm so we sat inside. They have this very unique visual on a huge screen that continuously plays, it's a little mesmerizing lol. It def keeps kids entertained. for being pretty empty, service was ok. It seemed like our server was elsewhere, and we were checked on minimally. We ordered broccolini, truffle pasta with steak, and bacon cheeseburger with fries. They serve the pasta with angel hair which isn't my favorite, But i had been craving truffle pasta for a while so it satisfied that craving. I wonder if it would've been possible to sub the pasta for their rigatoni or anything else. Not sure if I would come back since it didn't feel like anything special, but it was a good experience to try!

Walking into Warehouse 72 in Irvine feels like stepping into a coastal daydream, clean lines, warm feeling, soft lighting, and that breezy, modern‑California confidence. It's upscale without being uptight, polished but still playful. The kind of place where you can show up for a casual lunch or a dressed‑up dinner and feel equally at home. This kitchen leans into New American creativity, taking classic seafood staples and giving them a fresh, SoCal twist. I really enjoyed the Charred Octopus, Tender with a smoky edge, paired with a punchy sauce that brings the whole plate to life. Everything tastes intentional. Balanced. Fresh. Like the chef actually cares about the ocean and the people eating from it. The bar lounge area is quietly impressive. Expect bright coastal cocktails, herb‑forward spritzes, and a wine list that leans crisp and mineral, perfect for seafood. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Not performative. Not hovering. Just the right amount of check‑ins and thoughtful touches. If you're into New American cuisine, seafood, and restaurants that feel both modern and inviting, this Irvine spot delivers. It's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit Miguel C.

Our friends had dinner before at Warehouse 72 and told us they really liked the entourage. Agreed, I do not know many hangout with a screen that large, clear and engaging... suitable for when your get together comes too windy or boring. LOL. All jokes aside, it's very impressive. We were there for a Sunday happy hour and expected more patrons to say the least.... it was eerily quiet. Food and drinks? We ordered the 1. Halibut Ceviche: 9/10. Delicious, 2, Poke Nachos 8/10, good flavors but nothing special, but the added wonton chips helped a bit 3. Steak Tacos, 9/10. Our friend was very happy very them. The Butterscotch Budino was nice for dessert (8/10) but the S'Mores not so much (6/10) ... the description was enticing though. Service was swift and personal, but as the place was quiet, the staff had time for a bit of a banter and personal chat which is fine with me but other patrons may be turned off by. Recommended? Yes, but come earlier or later as the place would look much better at night.

Stayed at the Hyatt Regency and ended up at Warehouse 72 Steakhouse every night, and honestly, I'd go back just for the mashed potatoes alone. They were the perfect balance of creamy and chunky (which is rare and somehow makes them even better). The bar staff is what really makes this place stand out. Ellie made me a "Breakfast Shot" that you have to try, and Michael made one of the best carajillos I've ever had, still haven't found one that compares. It's a cute spot for dinner, but also such an easy place to hang out if you're staying nearby. Between the food and the bartenders, it just hits every time. Definitely a go-to.

Seafood Risotto
Jae C.

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!

House made fried mozzarella

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.

Great place for Dinner happy hour and night out for cocktails , Definitely going back.

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
Crystal H.

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.

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.

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.

Even though it was 6:15 on a Saturday night, we were able to be sat right away. As soon as we walked in, someone greeted us and showed us to our table. Our server immediately got us waters and asked if we wanted anything else to drink (wife and I both got some delicious beers that they had on tap). We had our little one in tow with us and they were so accommodating to him! As soon as we were ready, our server took our order. We got: Chowder "frots" (fries and tots mixed in with some New England clam chowder, bacon, onions, cheese, and other goodies) 10/10, would definitely order again. My wife got the lobster roll with a side of clam chowder. Loaded with lobster, but you do pay the price. Labeled as market price, this was almost $40. Delicious, but not worth it in our opinion. 6.5/10. Pan roast (house specialty which came with shredded crab, shrimp, clams, and muscles). This, topped with rice, was heavenly. Better than any pan roast I've had. Came out ripping hot as it should. My wife was envious of my dish. 10/10 From the kids menu we also ordered the chicken Alfredo. My kid loved it, but my wife and I both had a bite and wow, we would've ordered that for ourselves it was so good. 10/10. We can't wait to come back just for the food. On top of that, however, service was above and beyond. The servers and everyone in the restaurant were so accommodating to us and our child and made us feel so, so welcome. We would come back even if the food was bad, solely for the service we received. Vibes we great, decoration on the walls look like they hired an artist to paint it. They had two TV's behind the bar / prep area that was showing NBA and PGA which I'll never complain about. All around 10/10 experience.

We've always walked passed this, but never paid attention since it always looked like no one was there out on the patio seating. We were feeling adventurous on Labor Day, and craving some soup so we decided to check it out. There were at least 5 parties in there, and we did not have to wait long. We ordered 6 oysters of the day, the jambalaya, and the Dive Chowder. The oysters were fresh, cleaned properly, not fishy. It was sweet and juicy and paired really well with the green/red/horseradish sauce they gave us. I am typically not a fan of raw oysters, but these were acceptable and I would come again if I were craving oysters. The dive chowder was delicious, and they did not skimp on the clam. Each spoonful of chowder had at least 2 pieces of clam. It also came with 3-4 pieces of shrimp. The spice level ranged from no spice, mild, medium, spicy. We ordered medium spice, but it was not spicy at all. Just a small kick of spice. I will try spicy next time. The jambalaya was good, it came with shrimp, mussels, sausage. However, my boyfriend did not like it as much because it was too tomato-y for him, but I like tomatoes and it was homey. I do want to mention though that the flavor is rich and can become heavy after a few bites. Overall, they are generous with the portions. The server we had was kind and gave us a tablet to view the menu since there was poor connection on our phones when we were unable to pull up the menu on the web.

I remember going to this place a while ago, and loving their buttersquach gnocchi or something…read moreclose to that. The side came with the halibut. And it is one of the best sides, I ever had in my life. I even went to the LA Water Grill looking for it and it was not there. Recently, I was celebrating another precious birthday dinner (a little delayed by 7 days but still counts) and decided to go here, last minute. My friend and I had reservations at another restaurant across the street in the mall. But, I wanted to be a little bit more hungry, so we decided to walk around and then cross the street to find our place in Water Grill. So we crossed the bridge that connects the mall to the other side where the Water Grill lies and with the heatwave we are enduring as Californians, the walk felt like a trek through Arizona streets. I have never been to Arizona. But now I do not have to, apparently. I had called the joint before but they told me they were absolutely book for the night. I have lived long enough to know that place in a crowded restaurant is sometimes a matter of finding a crevice to call one's own. But a crevice is sometimes found only through efforts. The staff was prepared to show us options, one of two bars, and seating in other areas of ther expansive restaurant. I think there were three options and all of these were in the avaiable areas. They did not try to find me a table in their main dining rooms, which is fine. I did enter as a peasant looking for stale bread. Ronnie, my friend, did not want to sit anywhere where the heat was abundant, but luckly on our trek through the bar we found a group departing. Those seats were for us. People were barely getting up. I was almost the tazmanian devil, but contained, I did not want to lose these seats which meant for us, to another person who needed those sits. I am not sure why but I was acting like a bridemaids during a clearence sale for her best-friend's desired gown. I wonder if this happens in real life or I am imagining a scene from a movie that made women savages when it came to low priced clothes? The stools had food rests. My feet did not hang. A significant plus! The crevice had been found, and, like mice who had found their cheese, we were ready to split food and giggle like rats as we did! It was a superb meal! Like, a holiday was had in the moment. Once I found the halibut with the gnocchi my made was made up. Nothing else would due but what I had waited for and found anew. Since the LA shop did not have it, I feared that this place would not as well. We also ordered brussels. Roonie ordered their sirloin and their chimichurri. At one point, I combined the gnocchi, with the halibut, and smeared the chimi, and ate it in one mouthful and the proceeding pow was a blast from the present to the taste buds. The Delorian arrived and parked in my tongue, is what I am trying to say. Our server was Diana. And I thought that she would be more familiar with the fact that Diana was the real name of Wonder Woman. So I am making some lame dad jokes, even though I have not fathered any children, about Amazon and Thymescara. And she politely nodded but later found out that she was not connecting my jokes. But I guess dad jokes can be like that. She was also really kind of cool as a server. For instance, Ronnie wanted to enjoy mac and cheese. I ordered but then I walked and saw their beautiful ears of corn and wanted some. Ben eut we were informed that we had enough food and the corns probably would not be needed. Diana accomodated the request of swapping the mac for the corn. I wanted no chili. Then corn on the cob came with chili. She said that she had put in the order. And then a second order of corn came without chili. Ronnie, being the pure angel she is, was like Do you need the chili corn back? And I was like, now we licked it. Simply because I feel that the restaurant would be tacky to deliver a wrong side and then ask for it back. Like for the prices you all be charging, they can let us absorb the cost of their mistake. Both ears of corn were left. The real kiss on my birthday from the universe was that I was allowed to have an entire side of the gnocchi for 16 dollars. It came. Now there was enough for Ronnie to share. I will admit that before a gurantee of more gnocchi I was wondering if they could share. We also got a tri-flavored cookie with ice cream with a sea horse cookie with ice cream. It was great. Exceptional even. And the garlic on the brussels, I am glad I am not the king of the undead. So this place is a gem under the sea that I can visit from time to time. It is just not that close. But it is not the white whale, nor am I Ahab. I can go more often. And after yesterday's dinner, I do not see how I can not.

Just got done with dinner at Water Grill and the experience was definitely lacking. We sat at the…read morebar and was ignored while the bartender was talking to another couple. I would expect him to at least acknowledge us. A simple "hello"or "I'll be with you in just a minute" would've sufficed. He finally asked if we wanted bread and we said yes, but it never came and we had to ask a server who was passing by if he could get us some. He was very nice and brought us fresh hot bread. Second bartender was a little better and asked us if we needed anything. But for the most part we were ignored. Food was just ok. Nothing to write home about. We finally asked for the check from a third bartender and he didn't even look at us or say a single word and just grabbed our check and put it on the bar. Dude, you're in the service industry but your people skills suck. Again a "here you are" would've been nice. Left a terrible taste in our mouth. Won't be back to eat at the bar ever again.

Good for casual meals, date nights, or group celebrations.

I really enjoyed the contrast in greasiness from the meat and the sharpness of the complementing veggies in the beef belly bowl, and though the shrimp garlic noodles were a bit heavy from the oil, the flavor was very robust and delicious. I also really liked how they had more unique matcha flavors that were also not too sweet and very yummy as well. I love how they come with oat milk already, perfect for my lactose intolerant tummy. Overall, I'd love to come back again and try new dishes and matcha flavors. Highly recommend!
