About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Bosscat Kitchen & Libations perfectly meshes upscale and casual dining with an expansive whiskey selection and unique offering of American comfort food. It offers high energy, open spaced concepts to promote a lively dining experience. With the rustic industrial aesthetic, brick metal and barrels are prevalent in the space. One of its most coveted attractions is the famous whiskey room, that houses hundreds of whiskies from several countries. From high end whiskies like Pappy Van Winkle, to a shot of Jameson with a Coors Light, there is something here for everyone's taste; and Bosscat prides itself on being this type of environment. Each season new flavors and recipes are brought into the kitchen. The culture and staff are encouraged to foster the fun and unique dining experience they so strongly emulate. Bosscat is open all week for lunch and dinner. Happy hour is available on weekdays, and a fun, boozy brunch menu is available on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Food was average, server was nice but they were way understaffed. She had to many tables and little to no help. Played sat in front of us for at least 30 minutes after we were done.

    First of all we just love Bosscat each and every time we go. This time we had an office birthday lunch party and the service was next level. From the moment we walked in the door, the hostess, the server ... they went above and beyond. We introduced some new people to the restaurant, including the birthday girl and they were very impressed. Thank you BossCat!!!

    Love this place. Our go to for food is always the nachos with steak, the mushroom fries and short rib dinner, all excellent. The service is exceptional as well as the ambience! We particularly enjoy the Irvine location.

    I’ve been to Bosscat several times in the past and have had pleasant experiences. This time was just not great. Our server was super nice and attentive, even brought my son ice-cream for his birthday, but the food was not very tasty, didn’t sit well afterward )heavy and saturated in sauce) and was quite pricey. We spent about $170 for four of us and didn’t leave satisfied. It’s unfortunate, but I don’t think we’ll return.

    We came for Father’s Day brunch and had a pretty negative experience. Cold food, poor service, long wait for food. Not worth the price.

    The decor and food was lovely. Service was HORRIFIC. And the music was SO loud. We asked if they could turn it down on the patio and the server (who was super rude) was like “nope! That’s the way the owner wants it!” Now I understand an owner wanting specific things for their brand. Duh. However, because she answered so fast and rudely perky about it…suggests this isn’t first time it’s been complained about. The other tables around us agreed. It’s also hard to find and in a weird location in Irvine. Go to Il Fornaio right by there instead! This place was a joke.
