Best Casual Restaurants in Irvine

I've been to Oliver's several times with my GF. Food and service is always excellent. However, it's very pricey especially for being in a shopping center sharing a parking lot with Albertsons. I do recommend it for the food and service.

Every time we come to this restaurant, we are never disappointed. The food and service are always excellent. We try to work our way through the menu but it is too hard because we always love what we had the previous visit. Already planning a return trip.

This was the perfect place for a birthday lunch. Great food, nice ambiance, good service, and we could have a conversation because it wasn't too loud. I'd recommend it for sure and I'm picky.

We arrived at 7 PM for our reservation. We were greeted by 2 staff members and went immediately to our table. The wait staff were very attentive and answered our questions to our satisfaction. We ordered a cheese board and the suggested wine by our server. The cheese board had a good variety of items and was well presented and very tasty. Our rib eye and filet mignon were cooked to perfection and had a great flavor. We also ordered a different wine per our servers suggestion. Overall it was an excellent first impression and service.

This was my second time here. The experience was incredible and the staff was amazing. I wish I had the opportunity to take some food home and not waste but that’s what happens with all you can eat. I didn’t have enough room for dessert but it was my man’s bday, so we had to. The crème brûlée cheesecake was out of this world amazing! We definitely over indulged but it was worth every penny !
