First time here. Food and service was great. One gluten free patron in our party (celiac) and staff was very understanding. Carlos made the experience wonderful with checking in frequently!

To Whom It May Concern, I'm writing to express deep frustration and disappointment following a visit to your Irvine BJ's Restaurant on May 22nd, 2025, for my wife Roz’s birthday celebration. We had a party of 13 and called ahead, only to be told the wait would be 30–45 minutes. Instead, we waited over 2 hours while being repeatedly given conflicting and inaccurate wait times (20 mins, then 5 mins, then 15 mins, etc.). It was only after escalating the issue to a manager that we were finally seated — a full 45 minutes after being told our table was "being cleaned." The service did not improve once seated. Staff were rude and dismissive — not just to my wife, but to multiple members of our party who politely asked for status updates. At one point, BJ's attempted to offer "lobby pizza" to the waiting group, which would have been appreciated if they had respected dietary restrictions. My wife has celiac disease, and we explained she could not eat gluten. Despite this, we were told there would be no accommodations — even if we were willing to pay. To make matters worse, Roz also suffers from hypoglycemia, and being forced to wait that long without food triggered a medical episode. This was not just inconvenient — it was dangerous and negligent. When we were finally seated, the experience did not improve: only one overwhelmed waitress was assigned to our large group, service remained slow and unfriendly, and to add insult to injury, an 18% gratuity was automatically added — despite the substandard and outright harmful service. Our total came to nearly $800, and every single member of the group was charged that gratuity — regardless of their experience. This was meant to be a celebratory evening for my wife’s birthday. Instead, it was a source of anxiety, frustration, and actual physical harm. We expect a full apology and request appropriate compensation for the unacceptable experience we were put through. Sincerely, Mario A.

They are the worst customer service and knowledge bout gluten free allergies and definitely have No business getting advertise as such. I called and once I arrived I asked again. I ordered and paid and then she told me she was out of gluten free buns so I am getting toast gluten free burger ITS DISGISTING. Not what I asked for, I DO NOT WANT FING TOAST FOR A BURGER. I could have gotten somewhere else. I’m traveling and Not alone. I truly hate this people. LIARS. SO GROSS!! I was asked how my food was and I told this lady gross and unsatisfactory She acted like I didn’t say ANYTHING so I repeated to her and again just ignored. DO NOT ASK HOW MY FOOD WAS IF YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE CUSTOMER S ANSWER. 🤮

I recently visited Cucina at Spectrum Irvine for a girls’ hangout, and it was a delightful experience! The vibe is fantastic, and I’d rate the ambiance a solid 5/5. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming. 💌They quickly seated us, and our server was friendly, polite, and provided excellent explanations about the dishes, especially considering my garlic allergy. He ensured I was aware of which items contained garlic, which was very thoughtful. 🍕We ordered a Margarita pizza, shrimp pasta, a berry dip, Brussels sprouts, and a sparkling rosé. 🧑‍🍳The food arrived promptly, and the service was impeccable. Our server checked in multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed and kept our water glasses full. 🚻The restroom was spotless, which added to the positive experience. ⚠️One area for improvement would be offering a simplified menu for those with dietary restrictions like garlic or gluten allergies. Despite this, the overall experience was outstanding, and I’d highly recommend Cucina. Don’t miss their beautiful wine rack, I’ll share a photo! If you’re in Irvine or Orange County, definitely give Cucina a visit! Location: Spectrum Center, 670 Spectrum Center Dr, Irvine, CA 92618, near the intersection of Spectrum Center Dr and Enterprise D

Hey! It's 2025!!!!! 25!!! Gluten free pasta??? No? You've never heard of it?? Even Barilla has good GF pasta just with 1 ingredient(cheackpea flour or red lentils flour) Your new salmon in the oven was good, though, so was the cauliflower "wings". 2 stars just because you HAVE to have GF pasta in 2025!
