Wilhelm's Chophouse

Our food came out on time and was prepared just right. I would recommend this place to a hungry person the portions are huge! Service as ok but the food made up for it! I more

I just moved to Irvine and my boyfriend's birthday was just around the bend. Knowing that I was going to make the move to Irvine, I researched online for a nice restaurant near my apt. I browsed the website, looked at the pictures provided by them, and thought the place looked pretty nice and they play jazz (my man and I have in for jazz) so I made reservations for two for his birthday. The service at the door wasn't as great, but our server was good. The ambiance was relaxing with red-ish colors and funky but yet pleasant decor. We were able to sit together at a table with a sofa, so that was a plus. The food is decently priced (they have the menu on thier website) and although I wasn't too big on what I ordered (I believe it was something with beef), my boyfriend really liked his duck entree. Overall, it's a nice place to go on a date, a night out, but I wouldn't say it's a place to go to celebrate a special occasion. more

Love this restaurant! The food and drinks are AMAZING. Highly recommend the short ribs with mashed potatoes...they melt in your mouth. Had the best oysters from Carlsbad here and can't wait to have them again. The Metropolitan cocktail is my favorite as of late...so good. Staff is always friendly and attentive. Took our 12 year old here for his birthday. The restaurant was hosting 570 KLAC and thanks to Phil Roberson the Director of Operations for French 75, we were able to meet Tommy Lasorda, Chris Pronger and a few other sports greats! Definitely recommend this restaurant. Pros: Great food, drinks and service Cons: cocktails a little pricey more

Thank you Jenn.\r \r Jon and Josie M. \r Irvine Pros: Excelent food, Great Service, Awesome & Romantic more

After several visits to F-75 it seems the food is better than ever and prices have been reduced. The Sun night Family dinner special is only 19.95 ea and cocktails are good. Pros: Good Food Cons: Can be Busy on weekends more

On my one visit to this restaurant, I wasn't hungry enough to give the entrees a try and stuck to smaller appetizers. The French Onion Soup was bland, the escargot was overcooked and rubbery. My champagne+fruit beveral tasted of cheap, dry champagne (which doesn't mix well with fruit in my experience). The lighting was rediculously dim, making it difficult to stay awake enough to maintain conversation. \r \r The atmosphere is very impressive and makes you at least FEEL like it's worth the price even when your tastebuds tell you otherwise. You will not fail to impress anyone you bring to this fine restaurant, but if you are just looking for great food I suggest you look elsewhere. Pros: Classy enough to impress anyone Cons: A lot of show, little substance more
