90 Pacifica Restaurant Bar - Irvine

The staff and bartender where super nice and the drinks were great. The Brussels sprouts would great. But the pizza is absolutely terrible.

The fish tacos were tasty along with the mango salsa which was fresh. The taco shells were covered with fried cheese on the outside which was a nice touch, and the fish was blackened cod.

This was the in house restaurant for the Doubletree and we only ate here for breakfast. The main offering was the breakfast buffet but there also was a small selection of stand alone entrees and sides. Overall there was not a lot of choices for the price paid. Scrambled or hard boiled eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes, pancakes, yogurt and fresh fruit, two cereal choices and some pastries and breads. Decent quality and taste. At least they brought in a TV so we could watch the World Cup while eating otherwise the ambiance was quite boring and quiet.

I never usually have high expectations for a hotel restaurant, but I was impressed with both the food and service at 90 Pacifica. I was so impressed that I actually ate here twice!!! I had a late dinner in the bar and breakfast in the restaurant. They have a good variety of foods and were happy to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I ordered a cooked-to-order breakfast, everything was fresh, not pre-cooked, and delicious. Expect hotel prices, but not completely unreasonable.

I can 't give 5 stars because some of the food was only okay (the Macadamia Ahi, and cheesecake), despite kinda high prices of $20-$35 for entrees. But the sliders, club sandwich, and the guava sorbet were absolutely worth the trip!!And best of all, our server Deanne provided easily the kindest and most superb service I 've had in the last 20 years! I 'd never even heard of this restaurant before happening upon it via Google nearby , and yet it felt like going to an old high school friend 's house for dinner! I will definitely be coming back!Overall, an incredibly relaxed and low-key restaurant that doesn 't try to be anything wacky to stay interesting. Just simple food done extremely well, with by far the nicest staff you could possibly meet late at night on a weekend!Parking: Free visitor parking
