Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Irvine

Great food, good atmosphere and friendly and attentive staff

The service and food were over the top amazing. This was our first time there and starting from the salad to the martini to the dessert, we had an incredible Valentines Day dinner. We will most definitely be back. Thank you for a great date night for me and my fiance. In case you're wondering what we had it was as follows: Incredible dinner salad. I mean when the salad is this good you can only imagine what the food will be like. We then had an incredibly juicy lamb burger and meatloaf. Both were a wow experience. Then we topped everything off with the Ridiculous Sundae and yes it was ridiculously delicious. Put this place on your bucket list.

WE had a fun Valentine's Day lunch. We arrived at 11:45 and were literally the first patrons there, so got nice prompt service.

"Nick's" is one of our 'Go to' restaurants, which includes: Carlsbad, San Clemente, Laguna Beach, and now, their latest restaurant, which recently opened in Newport Beach. We live in Corona Del Mar, so it's close to home. And a "Shout out" to Ryan, their new Manager!

I had been to the original location years ago. It is consistent with great staff. I specifically want to give a shout out to Nick who is patient and very informative. When we asked about the different offerings we decided on their Ahi tuna wraps and for dessert their fried apple pie.
