Paul Martin's American Grill - Irvine

It was our family’s first time there, and we had a lovely evening with good food and service.

Great food and drinks, nice bar

Always good food and ambiance. Normally service is great but there were a few instances where we had to wave down someone to take our order, and follow up on additional drink orders.

Did not care that it was our anniversary. Tried to get someone to take our picture, but no one helped us. Wait staff seemed more interested in hanging out with each other than actually serving. Food was mediocre at best. Crab cakes and cauliflower were good, but the kids hated their food (chicken fingers and mac and cheese). The cheese in the mac and cheese was still lumpy and way too salty.

The service by Alexis, Brittany and Diana was a 10. So professional. So nice to have great service from happy, polite people. Took my mom for her 76 birthday and it was perfect. Food was great and the butter cake dessert was incredible. The service made our night perfect!
Thank you!

Customer lunch

Everything good.

Everything was great. However, I made the reservation because I was of the understanding that I would receive 1000 points for Open Table. My reservation, after made, stated no point available for the reservation. I don't understand your process.

Great service and good food

This was my first experience at a Paul Martin's American Grill. It was really good. My wife and I were going for an early supper before going to a concert at FivePoint Ampitheatre. We just shared every dish. Started with the artichoke appetizer and an order of their crispy brussels sprouts...then shared the wedge salad and finished it off with the bbq ribs. We each had a cocktail and they were well crafted and served. Our waitress was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. All of the food was excellent and we would definitely dine here again.

Great food and great service. Food came out surprisingly fast and our server Stephanie was awesome. Will be back soon!

We came in during happy hour and the place wasn’t packed at all. The food was amazing, service was great, and overall we are excited to come back again soon!

First time dining here. Would not return. Service was great, ambiance was nice, food was mediocre at best. At least the beer was cold.

Loved our experience at Paul Martin's. Such friendly staff and the best food! My colleague accidentally left his airpods there while on our business trip and they offered to mail them back to him in San Francisco! So great!

Totally enjoyed the Autumn Special... steak with shrimp and a wedge salad. Delicious!

Extremely slow service. Dinner took over 2 hours even though it was not very crowded. Two prime ribs ordered med rare. One came med well with hardly any pink and the other very well done, not even a little pink. It took so long to get the food we didn’t want to wait to get another. Received the wrong deserts with the prix fixe (no cookies with the ice cream) but did ask for them since I just wanted to leave at that point.

Food was great as usual, service was terrible.

Always delicious food and good atmosphere.

I had the wedge salad and halibut. It was amazing! Our server was pleasant and efficient. Overall a great experience!

Took about 14 minutes before someone helped us once we sat. Refills on drinks took forever. Ambiance was awesome and the food was good. For the price the value was mediocre.

Always a fun spot, especially at the bar with the bartenders! Food is always good and the Happy Hour deals are also a treat!

Much nicer atmosphere since mall landscape renovation. No longer feels out of the way and isolated. Outstanding happy hour deals

Excellent season special for Summer

The food is wonderful, our party of four had 4 different meals, each delicious. When they ran out of the dessert I wanted, the manager came to our table and told us he was having the chef make it just for us, very accommodating.

Always a pleasure. Christian in a great manager, always goes beyond to greet & welcome you.

Loved the Asian chicken salad not sweet a little kick to it
Calamari appetizer very fresh
French onion soup kind of bland
Roasted cauliflower outstanding
Steak salad delish

Good food ,friendly service , nice ambience , relaxing. food was surprisingly better than other American restaurant around the area

Service was slow. Appetizer arrived before our water and cocktails. Tuna tartare was yummy. Quinoa bowl was salty, overcooked vegetables and chicken tasted like it came out of microwave. One cocktail we ordered was vodka soda - they forgot the club soda. It was straight vodka on the rocks! Will not come back.

I feel they need to introduce more dishes? We like coming here cuz it's nice, but not wowed by any of their menu items? Happy hour is good and it's close to us.

There are better options for dinner. It was just average.

There were 8 in our party and the table was very nice and we were able to hear!
It took awhile to get our drinks delivered and the wine uncorked. We had to ask twice for a bucket for the white and a decanter for the red. We order 2 orders of calamari which was good and 2 orders of the tuna tower which had lots of avocado and a little bland tuna.
3 of us ordered the salmon with a carmelized onion and bacon topping and it was so salty, none of us finished it. Others at the table did enjoy the chicken, short ribs and halibut.
I also ordered a second glass of wine when they delivered the entrees, and didn’t get it until the table was cleared! Wouldn’t rush back.

service was extremely slow, took forever for our order to arrive. deviled eggs were delicious but steak on steak salad was way undercooked.

Enjoyed our meal fast and friendly service

We celebrated a birthday and had 8 people. Everyone had different items I like that the menu offers such a range

Food as always, was very good! I like the healthier options they have.

Delicious summer special, great ambiance

Skirt steak was terrific. Calamari was excellent.

Love this place! The food is excellent!

Always a great meal. They have always accommodated our gluten needs without any judging or issues, great place for dietary limitations.

Halibut was way overcooked.
other than that, it was great.
