90 Pacifica Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Irvine

For a hotel restaurant and bar. It's done very well. Moving on.

The staff is extremely nice and professional. The options are great for quick bites, lunch or dinner.

The food tastes fresh. The drinks are great.

Upon walking up to the bar area I was greeted immediately. Staff immediately gave me a menu. And mentioned a special that day. They also let me know that there was a happy hour. Happy hour!? Can't go wrong there can we lol.

I've had the club sandwich, wings and burger.

Club sandwich. Pretty much your average club sandwich. However the ingredients are fresh. Yes it's processed turkey slices. But that's ok. They're good quality ones at that. And they don't skimp. It was a very large well proportioned sandwich.

Wings. Alright these are the star of the show. Simple but done right. You know when you just want something good? And everywhere just over does it trying to be different? Not these. Simple hot wings cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Burger. Ok this is actually insanely good with the bacon. And their fries are nice and crispy tasty freshness.

So would I recommend this place? Most definitely. And if you're staying here. No need to go off site for food. The food here is...

I picked this place for a weekday lunch and came here based on the reviews. I am not sure how this place is rated a 4. The food was not consistent with the ratings in my opinion and still puzzled IMO. The reason I gave it two stars is due to the pleasant customer service staff and decent interior decor.

Creamed Spinach & Pita chips were undercooked since the cheese on top looked like shredded cheese and not fully melted. Fried Pita bread was too thick and not crispy.

The Seared Ahi Tuna was slightly cold and undercooked or lack of a seared effect. The ponzu sauce was too sweet and had a generic taste from a bottle. Rice was overcooked and soggy. Broccolini was crispy and cooked perfectly with a slick crunch not overcooked.

Pizza Margherita has no tomato sauce and used sliced San Marzano tomatoes on top and not puree as the base - really? The cheese didn't look like thin mozzarella cheese and looked like processed American cheese -why was it yellow? Were there any Basil leaves? The pizza and crust looked like frozen bread pizza from a supermarket not freshly made.

Fish Tacos seasoning was overwhelming and too strong. The Mango salsa was fresh...

I can't give 5 stars because some of the food was only okay (the Macadamia Ahi, and cheesecake), despite kinda high prices of $20-$35 for entrees. But the sliders, club sandwich, and the guava sorbet were absolutely worth the trip!!

And best of all, our server Deanne provided easily the kindest and most superb service I've had in the last 20 years! I'd never even heard of this restaurant before happening upon it via Google "nearby", and yet it felt like going to an old high school friend's house for dinner! I will definitely be coming back!

Overall, an incredibly relaxed and low-key restaurant that doesn't try to be anything wacky to stay interesting. Just "simple" food done extremely well, with by far the nicest staff you could possibly meet late at night...
