CAVA - (Near Irvine, CA)

Lee Maassel The food was prepared and arranged perfectly. The cook, Hector, is obviously skilled, but also thoughtful in his arrangement of the dish. The service provided by Ysnelda was great and the manager Isabel was gracious and welcoming. Definitely a great location to visit.

Fish Head Decent quality German food in a cool location right by the water. We tried the Wiener Schnitzel and a snack plate. The schnitzel was good. It came with fries and a little container of applesauce. The snack plate was a pretty good option if you want to try a bunch of different things. Pickled egg and veggies with a piece of salami type cured sausage,a pate style meat, a cheese spread and their addictive spicy nuts. Oh, and a baked pretzel! Service was pleasant and fast.

Jeff S Really good breakfast in a very quaint cafe. The food is typical breakfast fare, but feels like its prepared with some extra special care. Portions are generous and the biscuits are enormous. They arent like any other biscuit Ive had - kind of like if a dinner roll and a biscuit had a baby. And the jam was the sweetest Ive ever had. Also, I actually like the simple decor with white picket fencing and I noticed just how clean everything was. No dust on the walls or trim. Very nice place

Eric Vasallo Fantastic enclosed garden space. Private but outside. Romantic for evenings too. Great food. Love the ambiance and that warm mango sticky rice. Yummertime!

Preeti Tata We hosted our wedding weekend welcome party with The Cruisery and had a fantastic experience. Communication was easy from the start, and the space felt spacious enough for our group of around 70 guests while still maintaining a fun, intimate atmosphere. There was plenty of room for conversation areas, a dance floor, and easy mingling. The bartenders were friendly, fast, and kept the energy high throughout the night. One of the best parts was how helpful Aaron, the manager, was during our last-minute venue scramble due to a severe rainstorm. He was incredibly accommodating and proactive, offering us their sister property — Unbearable Skee Lodge — at a very competitive rate given the short notice. That space is amazing in its own right: a stylish ski-chalet vibe without feeling kitschy, with comfy couch seating, high tops for easy conversation, and fun skee-ball arcade games that our guests loved. They also gave very thoughtful guidance on ordering, which helped us meet our food & beverage minimum without going under or significantly over — a rare and appreciated level of transparency. Being able to bring in our own friend to DJ was another huge plus. We highly recommend The Cruisery (and Unbearable Skee Lodge) for welcome parties, rehearsal events, or private group gatherings — especially if you want a flexible venue with great service and a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
