A great Saturday date night. Easy to find valet only, but it's $18 with validation. Use elevator C to get to the roof. It's a really big space with high tables and lots of couches and lounging area. We cane at 4 and it was empty. We had the calamari with was really good. Hot and very fresh. The aoli they serve with it really makes the dish. We also had the skirt steak skewers, and they were amazing. The right amount of seasoning a d char made this dish a hit. The meat was tender and the plate was garnished with artichoke with some kind of really good sauce. Don't pass it up. The tuna poke was really good as well. The portions weren't huge, definitely small plates and they run about $25 each so plan accordingly. Drinks were very good. I had the old fashioned which they did a great job making. The flavor was very balanced. Wife had a spicy margarita which had a jalapeño agave and fresh jalapeño in the glass. Very good but it's spicy as well. A different flavor. The Irvine Spectrum is basically across the street so afterwards we went there and got some steps in. I would definitely recommend this place for a group or a date night.

My first time going, also on a Saturday night and the place was busy, lively, and had a great vibe! Food was great, service was a bit backed up but it was a weekend so completely understandable. Friendly staff, drinks were good and the music was upbeat! All great things I expected from this place and every box was checked marked! Will definitely throw this into an outing routine for the weekends!

Dope rooftop near Irvine Spectrum Logistics: on top of the Marriott. Valet parking only $15. Walked in and was told only bar service as tables were reserved. However I opened my phone and made a reservation (plenty listed) and immediately got a table. So make a resy! Vibe: DJ on Saturday night great. Hip hop/throwback R&B. Few people started dancing once the evening went on. Mainly at the second bar. Still lots of room at the other bar. Drinks were good. Did not try any food. Limited menu. $20+ dollars for French fries. Eat before!

Overall great location, with good view over Irvine and nearby mountains. Gets hot easily due to the direction of the sun, and few places with shade. Food was tasty, 8/10, with small portions.

My wife made reservations for a Saturday night and was advised that we would have a 90 minute time limit. Once we arrived to the Marriot hotel, they only offered valet parking service. Be prepared to wait 15-20 minutes due to the influx of cars and the cost is $18.00 for 3 hours with validation. Once inside we made our way across the lobby to the elevator. The rooftop bar offers a nice view and I would recommend taking a pair of sunglasses and a jacket. The food portions are quite small, but the mixed drinks are great! Our server Antonio was on point and the entire staff is hospitable. They had a good music selection being played as we sipped on our alcoholic beverages and enjoyed the California sunset.

All because of Mike. It was my post marriage surprise. She liked the place. They hooked up us with the pit fire seat and a champagne. I had the best night of my life. Staff were soooo great from valet all to the top, they were awesome, treat and serve us very well. They’re gonna make your 1000th date feel fresh like the very first one. For all dudes out there, bring your girl here and you won’t regret. Again, Mike was great and please give him a raise because he deserves it. Thanks to y’all for great service! Great job!!!
