Swanky Setting, Delectable Dishes

by janaschreiber8

Everytime my parents come to visit my brother and I in Irvine, we end up going to the Clubhouse. It has a crowd pleasing menu with a variety of options to choose from- their Spinah Artichoke Dip and Garbage Salad are mighty tasty- and the swanky, stylish setting makes customers feel like they are getting the highest quality in service and in food. The prices are reasonable, although I would probably not go there if I had to pick up the check- you know being a poor college student and all- but it really is a great atmosphere for family get togethers. They have private rooms to accomodate big parties and what seems to be a pretty snazzy bar- if only I was old enough to drink at it. Defintely a great stop after a day of shopping at the upscale South Coast Plaza!

• Pros: Variety of tasty dishes, Lively atmosphere
• Cons: A wee bit pricey

Worst Fish Taco's in the Western Hemisphere.

by henrymillion

We went for lunch recently and had fish tacos. The fish was tough and cold, and more importantly, a cheap variety similar to mackerel. It was not soft or flaky or buttery. They delivered three flour tortillas with a small portion of the cold hard fish in a white sauce, and piled some tomato and lettuce and NOTHING else.

What's worse is that this $3-$5 value meal cost us $15.00!!! What a disgrace. They should either charge $5 for it, stop serving it, or make it right.

Fish tacos are not rocket science people. The fish should be a tasty and soft/flaky variety dipped in batter and fried. Then, it should be topped with cabbage, lime, and a pepper or wasabi cream.

No Happy Hour No early Bird Dinners Anymore

by fooodi

I like the clubhouse. The bread is awesome & the salads & steak great!! For a while, they would give you a free bottle of wine on Tuesday nights as a special. I went in there yesterday at 5 PM & it was dead, 2 guys at the bar. It used to rock at Happy Hour. Now all they offer is a $2.00 drink discount on their $14 dollar martinis. They are missing me & all my So Coast girl friend shoppers. Come alive Clubhouse! Get back in the game. You have the perfect location for it.
