Not a bad spot to stop into at Orange Circle while doing Antique Shopping. The libations and food were both tasty. Plenty of breakfast options for those who decide that they want to show up for brunch on the weekend. Plenty of beers on tap as well if you don’t want a mixed drink option. Staff was attentive and TVs on to watch sports. Wouldn’t mind coming back here, it was great.

I come here every time I'm back in Irvine - it's a classic for my family.Good:I enjoyed the tomato bisque soup with the grilled cheese - simple dish but I liked it a lot. Same for the sweet potato skillet - good drizzling of sweet maple syrup on the skillet.The short rib is always great - super soft and easy to bite into, and comes with a lot of complimentary dishes like the potatoes and the onion pieces.I also like the dirty rice in the brick chicken dish - but the chicken itself is average.Bad:The citrus pasta was a bit too...citrusy - it was a bit sour for me and not super easy to eat too much of it. The noodle was the perfect texture though.The place also is a bit slower on the service side and sometimes our order was forgotten in the very loud establishment.Overall a fun place to catchup with family - on the pricier side but also a good fine dining experience.

Gloomy outdated venue. Thankfully they are moving. Service is good. Nolan is a very attentive bartender. Nothing remarkable here.

Great atmosphere and the staff were all incredibly friendly. I had the breakfast burrito and my fiancee had the fruity pebbles french toast. Both were delicious and I will be definitely returning again.

Kate was amazing!Brisket grill cheese was enough to make me fly back to Cali from DC. Kate convinced us to come back for brunch and it was equally as awesome. She was swamps but I'd love to see her face when she got the receipt back. Thanks so much for having us!

Fantastic place for dinner. Had the pleasure to stop in while in town for work. I ordered the Cuban box chicken. The dish was delicious, but very rice forward. Chicken with the dish was ok.Cocktails were decent. Paloma was ok. All in all I would definitely be back!

I went here to have brunch with my wife on Valentine Day. There were lots of people and we waited about 15 minute to be seated. We ordered Bosscat Burger and 12 hour beef short rib. Both were really great, especially 12 hour beef short rib taste was awesome. We had coffee after the meal and the coffee was also great taste with aroma. Wanna be there later again with my daughter.

First time at Bosscat. Happy hour menu isn't big but we ordered 4 of the 5 menu items and they were all really good. Would definitely come back.

WARNING: Ask for latest menu prices before ordering… the website may not reflect the latest prices and they’ll charge whatever the market/Covid prices are ($1-2 per item upcharge). ?3 stars for the food/drinks. Ordered the pulled pork hush puppies and short rib (happy they allowed me to change from scalloped potatoes to yummy jalapeño polenta)… HOWEVER the reason for my low review is due to lack of transparency and poor service from the manager. When I confronted him about the price discrepancy, his response was more about it “taking a while to update things on their side” and that they can honor the lower online menu price, but that their other guests haven’t said anything about it. I completely understand the situation we’re in, but customers deserve to have this info disclosed upfront BEFORE ordering instead of discovering it themselves on the receipt. It was rude to infer that I’m the problematic customer just because I called them out and actually checked the math. Also note this restaurant is struggling hard… when they’re looking to charge you $2 for extra bbq sauce on the side (that already comes with your meal). ?

Awesome and personal experience. Came here on my birthday and had a blast. Anyone who enjoys whiskey must try this place. Selection is insane and the food is amazing! Ask for Nolan, he is the manager. Super knowledgeable on his whiskey and will point you in the right direction.
