I had such a wonderful day enjoying delicious food with great company in a modern and clean atmosphere.
Since it’s an open kitchen, you can see the cooking area clearly, and the spotless and well-organized space made the whole experience feel even more trustworthy.
They mentioned that the menu changes with the seasons, offering new dishes depending on the time of year.
Being able to try different flavors every season is quite impressive.
We ordered the Iceberg Wedge, Steak Frites, and Roasted Half Chicken, and everything was truly enjoyable.
The Parker House Rolls, served warm and freshly baked, and the Churro Spiced Ricotta Doughnuts with chocolate and salted caramel sauce were especially delicious.
The food was so good that I ended up enjoying everything without taking as many photos as I planned—such a shame!
The staff were very friendly, and the building offers two hours of free parking, which made the whole experience even more comfortable.
Just bring your parking ticket, and the restaurant will validate it after your meal.

An overall nice date night experience in Irvine, although a few of the menu items fell flat.
Service and Vibes: Our service was great, however being at a table for two we felt crammed being so close to a table for four next to us. Vibes are great and it feels like a rooftop bar experience.
Food Quality: Meh for some dishes, although the Roasted Chicken with mole sauces was amazing. The Parker House Rolls were mid, as was the Fru-Tiki (a Dry January mocktail). I wanted to try the burger but they were out.
Price: Cocktails are around $18 and entrees are around $39-50, so with appetizers it can easily come out to $100-150+ for a party of 2
Hidden Fees/Surcharges: They charge a card fee, AKA it’s more expensive to pay card than cash. It came out to about 3% card fee, which was annoying as it was not disclosed on the menu that there is a card fee/surcharge, it only states that there are different cash and card prices, which is not apparent enough for a surcharge.
Parking: Parking structure attached, can park and walk in and they fully validate your ticket (otherwise the structure is $2/15 min or $24/max)

We were here yesterday for a wonderful birthday dinner with friends. We were seated outside in the patio, which was really nice with the lights and the breeze. I noticed there’s a fireplace that can be turned on if the temperature drops. We had a big group 13, but Sherry took care of us so well, very thoughtful when to take the orders for drinks, apps, entrée and fill up our water. It’s next to a parking garage which is convenient to walk, however I’m not sure what the noise level from the traffic is during lunch weekdays. The food is very good, especially the Malbec braised short rib. The Solstice salad is fresh, the watermelon & feta salad is excellent although I’m partial to halumi cheese when it comes to watermelon salad. The short rib croquettes is also a delicious appetizer, which is good to get a taste of the short rib before you commit to the entrée. The Yuzu Breeze is refreshing if you like yuzu liqueur and midori.

The food, service and ambience were all top-notch. One of the best braised short ribs I’ve ever eaten.
Creative, delicious desserts. Wine by the glass is not overpriced.
I recommend this place for discriminating foodies

Tucked between a row of office buildings, this place feels like a little hidden spot you’d only discover if you worked nearby. Most of the lunchtime crowd seemed to be people stepping out from work, which gave the restaurant a relaxed, professional atmosphere.
The food was genuinely excellent. The prices are on the higher side, but the flavor and quality make it completely worth it. I left really impressed and would gladly come back again.

Always a nice restaurant to go to whenever you have people visiting from out of town! Solstice is a charming spot that consistently puts out quality dishes based off of the season. It gives a modern twist to some classic dishes, and the presentation is solid as well.
I’ve been here a couple of times, and it’s always been a hit! Their malbec braised short rib never fails to impress, and this time around their seafood risotto was delicious as well. The kiwi sour cocktail was also tasty!
Solstice is also conveniently located close to John Wayne airport, so if you have any visitors, it’s easy to go to! If you’re looking for a new place to try, with a modern, charming atmosphere, then check them out!

The food was excellent! I had the prime rib. It came with whipped mashed potatoes and broccoli. Delicious! My husband had the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes. We got the spring rolls as an appetizer, they were more like deep fried ravioli. They weren’t rolled but we enjoyed them. Would definitely recommend.

I’m incredibly grateful that my friend recommended Solstice for dinner—it turned out to be an exceptional dining experience! I was thoroughly impressed with the food, service, and overall atmosphere, but the highlight was definitely the food. I indulged in the tuna salad, which was absolutely delicious, perfectly complemented by the rich garlic sauce. The short ribs were equally mouthwatering, showcasing the kitchen’s talent for flavor and presentation. And let’s not forget the bread—it was simply mouthwatering, making every bite even more enjoyable! The entire menu is a culinary delight that will leave your taste buds dancing! I highly recommend Solstice for any occasion; it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a memorable meal with friends or loved ones.

A gastronomic star. A culinary delight. My husband and I came here for a Sunday evening late Valentine’s date, and wow. Everything was so delicious. We split a couple of starters: the white bean hummus, and Parker House rolls with apple butter are perfect to share. The hummus had really lovely juicy confit tomatoes, and sumac was sprinkled throughout. The Parker house rolls were fluffy and warm and slightly sweet. For my entrée, I ordered the roasted beet salad and added avocado and chicken. He got the braised short rib pappardelle. I’m not a drinker, so I just opted for hot water with lemon. The food was delightful. I felt very full after finishing my salad, despite the lightness and brightness of ingredients— the depth of flavor and quantity of protein was enhanced by adding the avocado and chicken. The zaa’tar lebneh made the whole dish, in my opinion. Husband devoured his pasta, he said it was perfectly cooked al dente. we thought we would take some of the food home. We were wrong. We devoured every bite. We wanted to lick the plate. Specifically, I wanted to lick my plate clean.
He had a special seasonal cocktail, something with beets and whiskey, it was pretty. For dessert, we split the flourless chocolate fudge cake. Oh my God, that was amazing. We were not expecting tiny bits of raspberry coulis. The sprinkling of cocoa nibs were crunchy and delightful. The gelato was so, so good—creamy and cold. I love seeing little vanilla bits studded throughout. It was decadent, it was delightful, it was the perfect size for two. I’m extremely full, and I’m going on a very long run. But everything was worth it.
We were so pleasantly surprised— the restaurant is huge, bright and airy, and the tables are comfortable. They certainly thought long and hard about placement. The tables are different sizes, so as to accommodate dates, or large groups. The clientele were of a variety of backgrounds, and seated next to us was a super cute family with their high school aged kids. On the other side, we saw couples on first dates. I don’t think this is a good place to bring newborns or toddlers. I would definitely go back. Our server, Cameron, was a sweetheart. He was very polite, attentive, and answered all our questions. I love that they validate parking. This is such a delightful find, and I bet their brunch is amazing.

Entire experience 10/10.
I live about 5 hours away and found the most amazing hidden gem in Orange County. The food most definitely gave me high end fine dining flavor and uniqueness but the atmosphere was just so vibey. I came alone but I saw plenty of families. Also saw people dressed up but also super casual. The service was absolutely phenomenal and everyone was so friendly. No reservation necessary but I definitely recommend making one online! I can’t wait to come back when I visit again! Every single item I ordered was absolutely phenomenal. ZERO COMPLAINTS, you can tell a lot of time goes into their menu.
Best Item: Short Rib Pappardelle Pasta
Best Dessert: Apple Butter Cake
Parking: the Broadway parking garage is right behind the restaurant, super easy to navigate and you can get your ticket validated so it’s free.
