Wow, what an incredible night! The atmosphere here is just perfect, with so many comfortable and stylish seating options. You'll feel right at home. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal! Seriously, some of the freshest, most perfectly cooked dishes we've had in California. If you're a whiskey lover, prepare to be amazed! Their selection is mind-blowing – over 250 varieties! And to top it all off, the desserts are simply divine. Get ready for a smile that won't quit. You've got to experience this place!

Well. Reservation was honored immediately, which is awesome. Sat on the patio on a Friday evening. Busy but not overwhelmingly. Irwin our server gave us the full intro with specials and recs. Very friendly and brought out items as requested and missed nothing. So that was lovely. As for the drinks. Wouldn’t ya know shocked me with the full cucumber flavor with a hint of sweet. What a perfect blend of these flavors. This drink was second to the first place winner of the night which was the friggin pork chop! Thankfully we did family style because I got the sugar barrel steak mid rare. Banana pudding at the end fed the whole table. 1st place that pork chop plate. 2nd the cucumber cocktail. 3rd sugar barrel steak. Other plates were still great but those were the runaways. Grilled fish was everyone else’s favorite but who cares what they think. Espresso martini was nice as was the country bread with the ranch butter. Really wasn’t wow’d by the ahi tuna or the pork belly or the mushroom fingers. Still good, don’t get me wrong…but I would try other items before returning to those. Cooked great, presentation great. Just not my gig. I would describe the atmosphere as a dramatic, moody, mellow vibe with glowing lights. Felt intimidate even though tables surrounded you.

This was our first time visiting "Bosscat". Just the fact that a place like this exists within the heart of contemporary Irvine office towers is amazing. Another surprise is the pricing of the food offerings: very reasonable. Overall, the food was very good, with the short rib chilaquiles being a standout. The drink menu is a bit pricier, but this is their thing (libations), and our selections were excellent. The service was professional and super friendly from beginning to end. The waiter noticed we had a ticket from the nearby parking garage and happily had it validated. Minus the drinks, you could easily spend the same on so-so food at any chain diner, so why not come here for a much better experience? We definitely will again.

Kelsey was our server for the early lunch hour. I had a party of three. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the fresh air and breeze. I had the KC Chicken meatballs, my sister had the burger smashies and my nephew had the garden salad with chicken. We all enjoyed our meals. On this hot summer day we decided to skip the cocktails. This is a chill place to watch a sports game or to meet up with friends. This restaurant plays some of the best rock ‘n’ roll from the 70’s and 80’s. Be sure to get your parking validated.

We had a large group and the service was incredible! We had a small menu because of the size of the group, but it offered so many options, everyone had something they loved. The avocado toast and brussel sprouts (appetizers) were incredible!! If you like crispy brussel sprouts, you will go crazy for these ones!! It was a fun experience and the speedy service did not disappoint!!!

The atmosphere on the patio was great! While you stuff your face with delicious food, you get to watch gym goers come and go hahaha. Our server was attentive and quick. The food was awesome and served hot. Definitely would go back.

My wife and her friends had visited this spot for a girls’ night out and came back raving about it, so I knew I had to try it myself. We stopped in for lunch while we were in the area, and from the moment we arrived, I was impressed. The entrance and patio area exuded upscale saloon vibes, featuring dark wood finishes and Edison bulb lighting that added a warm, rustic charm. We were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Our waitress was attentive, taking our drink orders right away. We started with the pig candy, which was absolutely delicious. I ordered an Old Fashioned and a Bloody Mary—my go-to—and both were top-notch. For lunch, I had the prime rib dip with fries. The au jus was flavorful, and the fries were more like hearty potato wedges, served with their in-house ketchup. As a loyal Heinz fan, I was skeptical, but it won me over. My wife ordered the Bosscat Burger, which looked incredible. We finished with a fried apple pie that was hands-down the best I’ve had in a while. The restaurant’s decor was stunning, especially the private room with a whiskey wall and gold birdcages. Tip: validate your parking before leaving the paid structure!

I've been wanting to come here for some time and tonight was it. Parking was easy and 3 hour validation at restaurant. The place is decorated very dark wood and low lighting and I loved it. The service was friendly and helpful to select the right item. She recommended for me the Boss Lady as I told her I like sweet whiskey and it was perfect. We started with the country bread and it was so freakin good. If you love garlic, then you need to try it. For my main I had the prime rib sandwich with cheese and it was one of the best I've had. Thick slices of meat and the au jus sauce was perfect. For dessert I had the apple pie and it did not disappoint. It not cheap but so worth it for those special occasions.
