Asking for a friend:
6 adults, 5 kids in the party. Prefer a place where there isn’t a wait.
Thanks in advance!!!
Houston’s
Puesto (Los Olivos Center, also Burger Lounge and a host of other fast casual eats for differing tastes)
Chan Chan Food House (space might be a bit small)
Settebello (Crystal Cove, sorry not Irvine but close)
Honestly, Irvine is meh for food options and given your parameters, it makes it even more difficult. Last time I ate in Irvine, it was at Houston’s because Puesto was holding a private event, don’t really care for North Italia, and Irvine Spectrum is meh. Javier’s is sort of good and the space is big, but I think the draw is the crowd and view at Crystal Cove location, not Irvine Spectrum Center. We should ask Mr Bren to fix this Irvine food option problem ASAP!

What youngster wouldn’t like spaghetti grilled cheese sandwich, made with spaghetti that looks and tastes like it came straight out of a grade school cafeteria (and I mean that in a most goodest of ways).

When we have to have a meal with an eclectic bunch of folks, we have a lot of success of Enoteca Cucina. Solid menu with lots of options that will make even the finickiest of people happy. They’ve got a bar and a good wine menu. It’s casual, but nice enough if you’re in an upscale-ish mood.
