"Hidden within one of Irvine’s numerous, dense, and sterile office parks is a colorful, artful outlier. The menu at this Irvine restaurant likes to take twists on established American favorites (think grilled cheese dumplings or vegan meatloaf), and the Snake Oil is definitely a fresh take on the classic margarita. Here, Astral Tequila Blanco gets help from a floral wine-based aperitif, lime, and spicy grapefruit syrup, the last of which gives the drink an extra kick." - Robert Spuhler
