- VValerieVIPOrange County •10 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis restaurant is exceptional; every time, every day. We have been coming here for years and William treats us--and all his customers--with such respect and love. What's amazing is the consistency in the service, food, drink, and atmosphere. And, back to William...how does someone treat customers with such respect and love always, year after year, like it's the first day ever? Having been in the people business myself (for decades as a high school teacher) I recognize that presence of power; that treatment of clients like they are the most important thing going at that moment of contact; regardless of what else might be going on. It comes from an exceptionally high EQ, which can't be taught. Rather, it is the essential ingredient for success. The food is GREAT, but the service is even better from the hostess stand, to the server, to....well, William! We were treated to a new server tonight: Peter. He's a keeper. We're coming back to see him again! Great hire and he is equally grateful and happy to be working at the Winery. Win-win. See y'all again soon!More infoThe Winery Restaurant & Wine Bar- TustinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Tustin•4.4
- GGladysOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoVery easy to schedule our reservation. Unfortunately we were running about 20 minutes late so we called the restaurant and they were able to hold our reservation. We ended up sitting at the bar and our server, who was the bartender, was awesome. Had the prime rib special and it was cooked perfectly.More infoPaul Martin's American Grill - IrvinePrice: Moderate• American• Irvine•4.5

- JRJessicaRVIPOrange County •25 reviews5.0Dined on 18 Sept 2023Wow! First and foremost, I want to shout out Augustine.. He was absolutely amazing. He was a one man show other than the cooks. He made us delicious drinks, was there in a timely manner every time we needed anything. He was friendly and working hard to make sure we were taken care of. We started with the Fiery Strawberry Margarita and the Spicy Daisy, both were very yummy, but we liked the strawberry one more. The Spicy Daisy has a smokey flavor, but the strawberry one was more refreshing. For the Appetizer we got the Crispy Squid and Shishito Peppers... SOOOOO GOOD!!! We demolished that dish... I'd be absolutely happy to just have drinks and this appetizer... The only thing left was the stems from the peppers. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Matt got the Sea Bass and I got the pan roasted chicken, very good, no complaints! For dessert we got the Churros, very good! We will be going back and most definitely recommend stopping by!More infoHaven point at Sonesta IrvinePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Irvine•4.6
