We made reservations for Dublin4 and it seemed pretty wild so they walked next door and sat up at the high top at Wineworks. Such a better atmosphere. Both restaurants share the same kitchen and restrooms. And there’s a lot of similarities between the menus but this has the better options.I always complain that OC doesn’t have great food but this place knows the game. And the wine menu is excellent. I even had a Pinot Noir from Baden, Germany. All dishes were excellent and the service was even better. Only complaint is the parking is terrible so good luck, maybe the lot is bigger in the back.

This is an excellent place for good food and wine at a reasonable price.Please order the Brie fondue and the crab cakes were outstanding.The pork chop was excellent and salmon was ordered by two in our group and they said “best” we have ever had.Service is good but a bit slow still better than other restaurants I have been to!!Have a great cocktail and great wine at a good price and enjoy your experience!!We are going again!!Vegetarian options: They are very good if you want plant based main courses.Parking: Small parking lot, you might have to valet on a Friday or Saturday!!

We went to this place at Valentine’s Day. It was really a perfect choice for that. Romantic place with delicious food. Calamari was fresh and tasty. Beef was good also

We had a bad experience as far as service food is not that great and way overpriced for the quality. The owner was there chatting with people maybe he should pay more attention to the servers do better job on serving. You can spend this much money in another restaurant and get better service at least. I do not recommend this restaurant definitely won't go back.
Great food, wine and atmosphere! Highly recommend for any occasion. My wife and I went here with some friends and had a great time! We'll be back soon.

Birthday celebration dinner on a Wednesday evening. Got there early for a 6:00 reservation to take advantage of Happy Hour. Brie fondue was excellent. Crispy toast and apple slices to dip in a ramekin of creamy, hot brie. Excellent with an Excelsior sauivgnon blanc. Wife had the halibut, her favorite, and I had the Kurobuta pork chop. She ordered hers done medium and it arrived hot and flaky, a generous portion with kale and puree sides. Pork chops were thick and very tender with a nice reduction sauce. Dessert was a chocolate budino. More of a pudding than we expected but still ingtriguing and a nice finishing complement to the meal. Atmosphere and decor are quiet and subdued, very nice for a couples dinner. Only downside is parking. Terrible location with no spaces, valet is almost mandatory.

Lovely ambience though the place is quaint. Wine tasting was amazing. The appetizers, main course, and dessert were equally amazing. Bring cash as you will likely need to valet. Very few normal parking spots.

Located in a tiny business area next to the 5 Oso Exit, this place is nicer and larger from the inside than you expect. We have been before to the sister restaurant next door with whom they share the same kitchen (not the menu). Excellent for a date, but there were also some families with children. We sat down at the bar without reservation. The service was very pleasant, with excellent and personal main service, and a little bit rushed waiters who brought out the dishes. The dishes were all very solid and delicious, we were very happy. The Guinness bread with salted honey butter (from the restaurant next door, but you can order menu items here as well) was already an excellent start. Calamari, Burrata salad, Mussels and Brussel sprouts were all wonderful. None of our food items were really surprising, just very well done and pleasant. What added a surprise element to us was the small but unexpectedly exciting wine list, certainly one of the main hooks of the restaurant. All wines we had were excellent, and I had the pleasure for the first time tasting a Mexican Marselan wine. A memorable experience, highly recommend.
