Heirloom Farmhouse Kitchen - Irvine (CA)

5 /5 Zachary Stewart: This Marriott hotel eatery felt calm and open, with valet service right at arrival. The space had a relaxed, airy energy, especially on a quiet Wednesday night. Our attendant was kind, present, and made the entire meal feel smooth. Dishes arrived quickly, which we liked, as a few noisy kids were running around. The food was truly pleasing. The sprouts had rich flavor, though a little oily. The thin-crust pizza was great for sharing, with plenty of tasty toppings. The star of the night was the ocean fish—cooked to perfection and paired extremely well with the greens on the side. I would return again, especially if friends stay at the hotel.

5 /5 Rob Woodbine: If you want a spot in Irvine that feels more like a chic, breezy backyard than a stuffy hotel restaurant, you’ve got to hit this place up. It’s tucked inside the Marriott Irvine Spectrum, but it’s totally airy, modern, and full of natural light. They take the "farm-to-table" thing seriously, using fresh produce from local OC farms that actually tastes like it was just picked. The lemon ricotta pancakes are a total dream for brunch, and their braised short rib is the ultimate comfort food for dinner, trust me its sooo good. The best part? It’s right near the Irvine Spectrum Center, so it’s the perfect "secret" escape to avoid the mall crowds. Whether you’re sitting by the outdoor fire pits or grabbing a fresh cocktail, the vibe is upscale but totally relaxed. It’s definitely one of the best hidden gems in the area!

3 /5 Abraham Tehrani: The service was great and good cocktails. They seem to have a good happy hour. However the food does not match the prices. The ribeye cut does not justify the cost.

3 /5 Jon Langbert: Decent drinks served in a nice environment with inattentive service. The place was basically empty while we were there, and yet the two employees managed to spend all of their time chatting and none of their time refilling our drinks.

4 /5 Mr Flann: Overall I would give 3.9/5. The service is good. The place was clean. The burger was good but just lacked a little more flavor and was borderline dry. The pizza was flavorful and the crust seemed too soggy and undercooked. The chicken pasta was good and saucy. The hotel has mandatory valet parking just fyi. Probably will not return for that reason. Not cool to be forced to valet.
