Our service was great.. Liliana was great as our server and the bus boys were on point keeping table clear of extra clutter. Rather have went to Newport Beach Location due to the Irvine Spectrum location is more for locals in the area and shoppers. Local hipsters were rude an entitled treating the servers like less of them and the restaurant’s lack of control between the bar area and tables. However, I can see how that’s happening with the entitled attitude we saw the local customers have. They don’t listen and have purposefully abandoned their self awareness. Witnessing how the staff repeatedly asked them to move out of the way and they didn’t listen. Overall, food was great, service great, skip this location if you can due to the atmosphere created with that type of crowd.

Overall, it was great. This is always a good restaurant where you can count on good food but if you see someone walking in with a walker that is obviously in their 80s why would you seek them at a table where they have to walk up steps?
