Andrei's Restaurant

I try and eat at Andrei’s every time I pass through Orange County. It’s got a hip vibe, pleasant atmosphere, great service and excellent food. Prices are reasonable given all of that. I love their patio. The architecture of the building is so cool.

perfect for a relaxed evening or a casual date night. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. The food was excellent, with a standout dish being the crispy cauliflower—perfectly seasoned and addictively good. The steak was also cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and surprisingly reasonably priced for the quality.

Went for a business dinner on a Monday in May. Had a reservation but there were enough open tables around. The restaurant is on the second floor, so you need to take some stairs. Not sure I saw an elevator. We started with the lamb lollipops to share, and they were pretty good, though oily. I had the roasted chicken entree and it was good - just a lot of food. Would have been good to stop halfway and pack the rest of it to bring home. Service was quick and friendly, and they kept checking on us to see how we were doing. Wasn't able to figure out the parking garage quickly while driving along Main, so ended up parking at Da Vinci Street after turning on Cartwright. Other than the parking situation, pretty good experience. Other guy had the steak. Total including tips and taxes came to around 130$, so definitely on the expensive side.

If you want to dine somewhere you’re absolutely treated like family, enjoy amazing food and drinks, and be blown away by outstanding service, then look no further. Andrei’s is the place to be. I go here quite often and honestly, I’m a little upset with myself for not writing a review sooner. But after last night, it felt like the perfect time. We were celebrating my daughter’s birthday, so we had a pretty big party. I made a reservation a week in advance, and I can honestly say it turned into a truly memorable evening. The service and quality you get at Andrei’s is hands down the best. Everyone is incredibly attentive, kind, and welcoming. Highly recommend trying: The lollipop lamb chops (a favorite!) Calamari Roasted chicken And definitely the short ribs Their food has always been consistently delicious every single time we’ve gone. We always choose to sit outside around sunset, it’s just so beautiful out there and really adds to the whole experience. I dare all of you to take my word for it and go check it out for yourselves. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic seafood salad and great ceviche. Gluten free friendly menu and waiter was very helpful in accommodating our food sensitivities and allergies.

Food was mediocre. Fish tacos were dry like the fish was cooked a while ago. Very spacious area so it didn’t seem cozy. Staff was nice. Probably won’t return. Nothing wowed us.

Food was amazing. Ambience is great. Probably have dined there with a group of 10-12 6 times now. Never disappointed. Chef comes out and checks to make sure diners are thoroughly pleased. And we always are

The place feels trendy without trying too hard, the ambiance is relaxed, the staff is consistently attentive, and the food is outstanding. Considering all that, the pricing is quite fair. I’m especially fond of the patio, and the building’s design is striking and memorable.

First time dining at Andrei's! Parking options are either valet or self-parking. Turn in and veer left for self-parking and right for valet. The entrance to the restaurant is just to the left of the valet station, where you can either take the stairs by the waterfall or the elevator just off to the right. The service was warm and welcoming. We ordered the calamari (lightly breaded and served in a lemon butter sauce), the bistro steak, scallops with Cabernet risotto, and the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was really good. Andrei's has that "hidden gem" feel. It initially looks like a casual after-work bar actually delivers an elevated dining experience. There were so many more dishes on the menu I'm excited to try, so we'll definitely be back. Great experience overall!

Enjoyed a late Friday evening dinner at Andrei's. The calamari appetizer was fried well but a bit pedestrian in flavor. Fish tacos were delicious as well as the Pasta al Pescador. Service was prompt and friendly. Restaurant's interior was spacious and well laid out whereby table conversations were not drowned out by other dining parties. Overall, this is a solid restaurant and will be returning when visiting Irvine to try other menu items.

Came out here for dinner during mine if my business trips to Irvine. Ordered lamb lollipops and crispy cauliflower for starters and it was amazing, must try. For main I tuna tartare, which was cooked to perfection. Dessert lemon butter cake and strawberry meringue. I would suggest ordering the lemon cake over the later. Service was amazing and our server's recommendation were spot on. The ambience is pleasant and perfect for dinner with friends, family or for a formal business dinner. I really had a great experience here and would highly recommend this place

The restaurant is located upstairs on the second floor. There is valet parking at the front but the actual entrance to the restaurant is off to the side. If you don't want to do valet parking, there is a parking structure if you continue driving down the same street. Parking was free for me when I went because there happened to be an event going on. Not sure if it's always like that though. The walk to the restaurant takes a few min and there's a climb up to the actually dining space so make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes. We had a reservation to diner here. Wait staff was attentive and checked on us every once in a while. The food was decent but not something I would come back for. I had the salmon salad and an appetizer (forgot the name but will post pic). Overall the place was clean and there's a bar area in the center.

Food is good, but some of it is very expensive. The portobello fries get mixed reviews among my friends. The other apps are also good. I like their salads and French dips, especially the seafood salad. Their fish and meat dishes are also good. My friend loved their grilled cheese and soup, which I'll need to try next time. The Eton mess is probably my favorite dessert there, but they have other good ones. I enjoy their happy hour - good deals. They have an outdoor section as well which can be nice if that's what you prefer. They have a heater outside for colder nights. Overall, great ambiance. Some of the dishes are worth the price, while others are not.

We recently had our office event happy hour at Andrei's. Food is always good here. We had: - several orders of the angus beef egg rolls: good but a bit too greasy, 4/5 - ceviche: 5/5 - quinoa salad: 4/5 - roasted cauliflower: very good, 5/5 - chicken kebabs: very good, 5/5 - fried calamari, the calamari was tender but the batter was rather disappointing as it was not crispy, 3/5 - lamb: very good, 5/5 There were quite a few more appetizers but they were all okay. The drinks are always good though.

My wife and I met fellow yelpers Shawna C, Steven C, and Les S to celebrate Steven's birthday. This is honestly a great place to celebrate a special occasion. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very cozy and upscale. You can park either in the nearby garage which the restaurant validates or you can valet park. When you walk in the door you're greeted by a mind blowing multi-story water feature on the wall. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor so you can either take the stairs or the elevator. Our reservation on Saturday was for 5:30pm which is great if you want a calmer quite atmosphere. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves. By the time we left it was getting packed and energetic. To start our tabled shared the "Crispy Cauliflower". It was literally a head of cauliflower that our party of 5 couldn't finish. It was panko crusted and came with harissa aioli. I thought it was very flavorful and enjoyed it very much. I wouldn't get it if it's just two of you though since you'll be full after eating such a huge appetizer. Great value though for large party! I asked Steven what his favorite dish was and he recommended the Short Rib so that's what I had to try. It was a HUGE cabernet braised short rib placed onto a pile of blue cheese whipped potatoes. It was served with caramelized shallots, "chive crisps", and the best frickin brussells sprouts I've ever tasted. No knife needed, the meat was so tender it just fell apart with the slightest touch of my fork. So much blue cheese in the potatoes it was heavenly. Every bite of my dish was amazing and didn't anything behind. My wife's filet mignon on the other hand wasn't so good. It was really hard to believe it was a filet. It was tough, chewy, and full of sinew. Wouldn't recommend this. The sides though that came with it were good and she was able to salvage enough of her steak to be full. For dessert I had the "Eton Mess" which was seasonal berries, lemon curd, cassis, cinnamon, and meringue. I was expecting a boring dessert but I truly loved this dessert and would have ordered a second but the rest of the group would have judged me. The cocktails sound good but they were a bit uninspired and came out looking drab. Compared to other upscale restaurants they need to up their cocktail game. Strength wise though they did not skimp and I was buzzing pretty heavy after one drink so that makes up for it. Really enjoyed the food and company here and can't wait to return to try more stuff!

This place is great! I have been to it many times for dinners & events and the service, food/drinks are always great! The staff are very friendly and easy to work with. The location is convenient, with valet offered with makes it easy to park. The ambiance is impressive for a business lunch, date dinner, or event (especially in the outdoor patio).

Met up with some Yelp friends few weeks ago and had a great meal, so decided to come back with my wife to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. My favorite item so far is Short Ribs. It's cabernet-braised short ribs served with blue cheese mashed potatoes, pan-fried Brussels sprouts, shallots, and chive chips. The ribs were super tender and flavorful, and Brussels sprouts were excellent. Pacific Seafood Salad is one of the best salads I ever had. Definitely in my top three. I thought the price was reasonable for a salad that comes with shrimp, scallops, and red crab. Red wine pickled hard boiled egg was also a nice and unique addition to this salad. It definitely tasted like red wine. Scottish Salmon was good but I would've preferred more seasoning on the salmon itself. The other items on this dish, especially the Oaxacan cheese grits, were quite good. I took a little sip of my wife's Jungle Cat cocktail, which was excellent. It's a spicy, refreshing drink made with spicy citrus-infused Tito's Vodka, Ancho Reyes Liqueur, lemon ginger agave, and yuzu. For dessert I tried Eton Mess and Fuji Apple Cobbler. Both were good but apple cobbler was too typical. I thought Eton Mess was a much better dessert. It's basically a lemon curd with cassis, cinnamon, berries, and meringue nests. It was light and refreshing without being too sweet. It was almost like a palette cleanser after a meal. Service was mixed, which is the main reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. First visit was good, but service on second visit was quite slow. It's located in a corporate plaza so seems busier on weekdays than weekends. Was here on Saturday both times for early dinner so wasn't too crowded. Has valet parking, as well as validated self-parking right by the restaurant.

Staying at the Marriott courtyard next door and decided to walk here to Andreis! Food and drinks were delicious! Service on point! Ambience was very nice and laid back!

Been to Andrei's twice with the office for a happy hour gathering. Each time has been a great experience with service and overall vibes. Food and drinks are consistently good and there are many options to choose from. You can't go wrong with visiting Andrei's.

This was a wonderful place to host my birthday dinner (a group of 10), everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. The service and ambiance are hard to beat for both inside and outside seating. What really makes this location unique is it's dedication to providing organic and locally grown food in a high end setting. Dina was our server Arias and she was great; she went above and beyond to make my dinner special from providing excellent and friendly service, complimentary dessert, and even providing a cart to wheel out all of my presents. Other than parking being a little difficult and confusing, I would say this is a great place to dine at for large groups.

The ambiance is nice, nothing crazy. The food is served in generous portions but I wasn't that impressed with taste. The service is sweet and friendly. Price is meh for food quality but you do get quantity. I got the pasta and my friend got the lamb lollipops

Tried Andrei's with a meetup group. Great service, nice specialty cocktail list and interesting variety of main course options. Parking is not very intuitive, drive past the restaurant and Park in a structure around 100 yards away, then navigate through the business buildings back to the restaurant. Or try the valet option. Price was mid range and the food was good so I would say that it's a great balance of price to value.

Dined here with some friends before a show. self parking free with validation. Great service. Tasty food. our group shared all dishes ordered. I really enjoyed the poke cone appetizer. we brought our own wine where corkage fee is charged. I recommend and would come back

Nice restaurant with patio, good food, and service. We celebrated a birthday dinner and I ordered a vodka specialty drink and shrimp pasta. Good meal with delicious lamb chops and calamari as appetizers.

Five stars for the service and food and ambience. Jessica was our server and she was absolutely amazing super attentive and very pleasant. Came here with a party at six and we all tried different dishes and the dessert. I had the seafood salad which I absolutely love with fresh chunks of scallops and crab claws and shrimp and the dressing was delicious. I am definitely coming back.

Came here for birthday dinner. Located above their event space, the second floor dining room is spacious. The focus on consciousness is what intrigued us to dine here. All proceeds go to different charities via the Andrei Foundation, in memory of Andrei. The ingredients are obviously incredibly fresh, with fish being flown in daily, meats every other day. Dishes are presented and plated with care. The roasted chicken was a touch salty, and the Fuji cobbler a touch sweet, unsurprisingly, as Fuji apples are a sweeter variety. (I am highly sensitive to salt and sugar, so other diners may find these dishes to be balanced on their palettes.) The caramel sauce on the cobbler was to die for. While the food is good, what sets Andrei's apart is the service. Although we arrived early for our reservation, we were sat immediately and our food and drinks came out in quick succession short after. Our waiter was attentive and humorous and balanced being personable and professional. He also threw in an extra scoop of gelato and comped the cobbler from the tab for my birthday as well.

Located in an office building, up the stairs where they validate parking is Andrei's. They have great New American recipes with large portions and a nice view from the 2nd floor. Service is on point and moved quickly during a weekday for lunch. We started off with the ceviche and mushroom fries. Both great choices as a starter. Next we had the lamb burger with potato wedge fries and the seabass with mixed greens. Both entrees were cooked well and seasoned nicely.

We live just across the street and have been eyeing this place since the outdoor patio is always visible as we talk our dog on walks around the complex. We finally decided to stop in for happy hour and I'm glad we did! The service was wonderful, the waiters were friendly and attentive. They also made sure to have the heaters on for the patio which made it nice and cozy even though it was a little colder when we stopped by. We ordered a smattering of things from the happy hour menu: truffle fries, tempura pickles, the pizza of the day (a barbecue chicken), and the tacos. The pizza was the standout, I didn't expect it to be so yummy but they really elevated it with the cilantro and fresh mini sweet peppers, it was delicious. The tempura pickles were not my personal favorite -- just a bit too greasy for my tastes. But the truffles fries were delish and my husband liked the tacos. It's a little pricey but considering the location I will definitely be back again to try a few more of the happy hour items.

Fancy place, recommended for a nice date. The food and service is good. I would go back again.

This restaurant is tucked away in between a business park and a hotel. Parking here was a bit confusing but luckily the valet was kind in providing self-parking directions to a nearby parking garage. Parking is free with restaurant validation. The restaurant was dimly lit for dinner which provided an elevated adult ambiance. The food here was delicious and the presentation was on par to match the taste. Of the appetizers, the lamb lollipop and the cauliflower were the most fussed about. Everyone at our table ordered a seafood dish and everyone was satisfied. Our server was very kind to ensure we were pleased with our selections. We also enjoyed the Strawberry Eton Mess which was absolutely amazing. The service declined as we dined, as the staff seemed more preoccupied with their closing responsibilities.

Stop using love as a security. Sensuality is the new security -- Lebo Grand Upgrading them one more star...such an underrated restaurant with excellent bordering on sublime food. The only downfall is the pedestrian wine list but corkage is only $20. Highly recommended.

Went here for a work dinner, ordered the snapper (market fish) and they were supposed to de-bone it at the table. The person who did it seemed really intimidated and did it in a way I've never seen before that left a lot of bones in the fish and was quite sloppy since they never actually cut the head at all. Overall, the place is easy to find and had a really nice atmosphere. The server we had was awesome, but the food was a bit overpriced for what we actually got.

I absolutely love this place. Our initial visit here several years ago was fantastic. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, the service is top notch and very friendly and the food was fantastically flavorful. We came here the first time so my wife can try the swordfish and she loved the dish. I went with the chicken with potatoes and veggies and it was very good, I had also opted to go with a bowl of soup to start. It was everything you can hope for from a restaurant. For whatever reason we had failed to come back sooner due to the sheer amount of great options throughout the OC but it was never forgotten in my mind. After sometime we had made our way back and it was as good as I remembered. We opted during this visit to indulge in appetizers and some cocktails to go along with our meals. My wife went with the wild boar chili while I opted for a wedge salad to start and a Lyra cocktail to drink. Despite loving the chicken the first go around I opted for the short rib on this visit and it was just as delightful a choice. Tender, juicy and bursting with flavor. The server we had was fantastic and the entire staff really went the extra mile to ensure a great experience. We ended our meals with the pear cheesecake, which was a delicious ending and had a unique flavor profile that I loved. We recently returned for our third visit as a late anniversary/birthday dinner from my mom and all three of us enjoyed the experience. The short rib was just as good as before and my mom seemed to enjoy it as well as I did. My wife opted for the salmon this time around and seemed to enjoy that as well. The service again was on point and we again ended with a couple desserts. The pear cheesecake was still on the menu and we had to try it again, unfortunately it was quite a bit smaller and the recipe was different then before and despite being good was not what we had remembered and I preferred the first version much better. We also went with the flourless chocolate lava cake and I found it good but it had a strong espresso flavor to it that can possibly turn some off if that's not your thing. I highly recommend checking the place out for a nice evening dinner or for a special night out. They offer paid valet parking or free validated parking in the structure that sits just behind it. I definitely look forward to returning again sometime soon.

everything is great From the service, drinks to delicious food I have been hear several time bartender Patrick is great and the chef is also really nice he comes out once in a while.

The story of this restaurant is amazing it was funded to share all profits with about 15 local charities. Unfortunately the guy that founded the restaurant died in a misfortunate car accident. All food is locally sources from OC farms and fishermen. I am highly recommending this place for amazing service, full bar, great super fresh food you get to enjoy fish that was in the ocean few hours before, veggies and fruits harvested recently. A MUST GO in OC!

What a nice dinner!! Every dish was excellent. Seasoned and prepared to perfection. Wonderful services to add.

Been coming here for a couple years now for lunches and this place does not disappoint! Lamb lollipops and calamari are always good. My go to is fish and chips and it never misses.

Parking: validated at restaurant Ambience: moody Service: amazing, it is rare to go somewhere and they anticipate your needs and constantly check in and refill your water after it's 1/3 empty Food: delicious blueberry beet salad, it was beautiful too The mushroom artichoke pasta was really good and they were not stingy with the mushrooms I wish they had more vegetarian options

I have been enjoying this restaurant over the years as I have traveled to Irvine on Business. It's conveniently located in the same parking lot as the courtyard Marriott hotel, which is super convenient when traveling. I've always enjoyed all of the food and ambience here. Some of my absolute favorites are the portobello mushroom fries, the Mediterranean dip tray, and the chop salad. The food is always delicious, very fresh and served rather quickly. They have a great happy hour also! I recently took some colleagues here who had never dined there before. Everybody was blown away with the experience. Hats off to Patrick, he was literally the best server I've experienced in a very long time!

Came here for a girls Holiday gathering and we had a great time. The food was delicious, literally all of them, the place is cute and it is upstairs of their event space. They have an outside patio as well but it was cold so we stayed inside. Parking: you can follow the sign to self park and walk between these sculpture with the business building and follow the sign up to the restaurant or you can valet (they ONLY take cash, so if you plan to do this, bring CASH).

Tried this restaurant out on a special occasion for my mom's birthday. Entire party was very happy with all our dishes ordered. Flavorful, plentiful portions with left overs. Waiters came often enough to always be attentive and ask if we needed anything. Overall ambience of the restaurant was comfortable and not too noisy, knowing there's an open bar in the middle of the dining area. The appetizer calamari was prepared in a way I've never had before but was super tasty and enjoyable! Would dine here again!

Service is fabulous. The ambiance is delightful. And the food is fabulous. I Recommend this restaurant

I have been to Andrei's many times. Ryan & Patrick in the front of the house are so kind. That overflows to the staff. The service is impeccable. I have a severe corn allergy (corn and corn derivatives), they always go out of their way to make sure I have a safe, fun, and enjoyable experience. I had lunch today with a friend. Chef made us a special seafood dish. It had grilled scallops & shrimp, on a bed of lettuce and was the most amazing thing I've had in such a long time. Trying to eat out with a corn allergy is really difficult. Corn derivatives are in everything. I could eat at Andrei's every day. The restaurant and bar is spotless, bathrooms are clean. When I've been there in the evening, the lights are not too low; you can still read the menu. It's a great date night location or girls night out!

I came here back in late November/Early December for a work party and we rented out the space below. It was very nice and elegant and very spacious. The food was so good, I had to stop myself from having thirds. The servers were very kind and checking in on us throughout the night. Excellent service. I would love to have another dinner party here or even dress up and have dinner at the restaurant!

First of all, this restaurant is gorgeous with a very pleasant ambience. Our party of four was seated on the patio, which gave us a great view of the beautiful sunset. Prefect setting for an amazing evening! Beginning with the cocktails, which were delicious, the experience was incredible. Our waiter, Patrick, was very attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes. Miguel was the chef and actually served some of the amazing entrees to us...making us feel like royalty. I can't even begin to describe the wonderful dishes we were served but they were all beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! Our dinner included the lamb lollipops w/arugula salad,, calamari, a very tender scallop on quinoa-cauliflower ceviche topped w/a watermelon radish, filet mignon, shrimp, and chocolate cheesecake and apricot crostata for dessert. The sauces and garnishes on the dishes added interesting flavors to the entrees and desserts! Would highly recommend this restaurant for an elegant, relaxing evening enjoying great cocktails and incredible food, with impeccable service!

1. The wrap and fries were delicious! 2. The spot has fun elegant vibes! 3. The staff were friendly, but they were short-staffed on this weekday lunch! Note: They do validate parking for the structure! Photo: Flank Steak Wrap and Portobello Steak Fries

My first time at Andrei's. Food is top notched. I had a Scottish Salmon salad. It was the best salad I have ever had. The portion was huge. I struggled to finish it. The salad has just the right amount of dressing and the green was tender. It was a substantial and enjoyable meal. Service was great. We were seated immediately in a spacious booth. Staff was friendly. We got our food and drink quickly even though there was a party with 100+ people in the back. Two thumbs up.

Great food for lunch. The Lamm lollipops are one of my favorites last time. I tried the duck comfy tacos and they were brilliant. The service is appropriate and prompt. And this is one of the restaurants that I go to with a friend where we can have a nice conversation without a lot of noise. Highly recommended items

Good food, good drinks and it's convenient for me as I work 3 min walking distance from this location. I've had their lunch/dinner menu, went in just for drinks, or just had some coffee. They were always so friendly even though we had different server every time we went. Many of the times, their hosts seem not that experienced but they are very pleasant and were always nice. If you are self-parking to get to this restaurant, don't forget to get it validated by the restaurant.

Dined here with a friend for lunch. Location is in a commercial office complex as a stand alone restaurant on the corner. Parking is either valet for a fee or free in the structure behind the commercial space. Validation required to get free structure parking. Restaurant is located upstairs and they have an elevator. Dining room is dark with lots of large spacious booth seating. Menu is a bit limited. We both had the soup of the day which was squash soup. We enjoyed it but it was about $14 a bowl. Bread and butter included. Service was attentive and responsive- I gave it three stars because it is a very upscale dining option located upstairs and the menu was pretty limited- I was hoping they'd have a focus to the menu but I didn't catch one.

This review was stuck in my drafts from late Feb when we did a staycation in Irvine. Great H/H menu, great value for the generous portions and superior service from Patrick and the rest of the staff. Been over 5 years since the last time I was here, and was craving the portobello fries. Nothing has changed, still as good as I remember.

Great service and great ambience, not to mention the food was delicious. I will definitely go back to this restaurant.

Always enjoy coming here for happy hour with coworkers. The food is very good and so are their drinks. I love the darkness in the ambiance and how kind the staff are. Only docked a star because it's pretty dang expensive and super small portions if you don't show up during happy hour (Mon-Fri 4-6pm)

It really felt like a strange hotel bar, but bigger? Not sure how to explain it but it's within an industrial complex type building, parking is a bit far in a garage past some corporate buildings unless you valet, and food was really just underwhelming. I'm giving this an extra star because my main entree wasn't the worst. This whole experience was pretty forgettable, but I do have to say it was nice that we dined on a rooftop which was I guess the best part of the meal. Food took awhile to come out, the calamari we ordered was SOGGY. Like why was my fried food wet? It tasted like a lemon flavored casserole with a touch of fishy taste. Awful. Ordered some cauliflower as well, and the pieces were huge. I was a bit embarrassed to pull my phone out as my partner's mom took us to eat here, so I did not take photos of anything other than my french dip sandwich. The sandwich didn't suck but wasn't amazing. It was served on a piece of round wood which was cool I guess. Bottom line, I am not coming back here.

I'm a regular here for business lunches where the menu is varied, food high quality, and service attentive. Free valet parking at lunch. Ambience is very attractive.

Food: simple and delicious. The servers informed me that the restaurant source their ingredients locally, which is terrific. I came her for happy hour and dinner. The happy hour menu has a good variety of offerings. I tried the pizza appetizer and the short ribs for dinner. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned. Service: hit-and-miss. I've been here 3 times for various occasions. The first time was good. The second time was fair. The third time was not-so-good. I think it depends on how many wait staff they have at the time. Ambiance: dimly-lit room with an airy feel. One side of the restaurant wall can open up to a patio/balcony. Outdoor seating would be nice on a warm summer night. Overall: I would return here for a happy hour to try their drinks and other HH food items. I removed one star for inconsistent service.
