Ethan was an amazing server. Him and his manager turned a miscommunication mishap with the table into a great experience. Not only that, the food was great and came out quick despite it being so busy. Thank you to everyone that made our experience great!

Service was okay that day--I've been here many times and it could vary. Our waitress was not overly friendly, but at least courteous. It wasn't busy but it took some time to get attention. Our food was also an "okay"--I ordered the aged bone marrow burger, which was better than I expected. However, I requested medium-rare but the patty was definitely overcooked (it is more medium to well-done). Had there not been the fat from the bone marrow, it would not be desirable. (Last time I ordered bison and it was completely cooked..., so I guess this time was an improvement??) The rotating beer, 'She Shot First,' was surprising good. It was hoppy, but not bitter. The fruitiness resembles grapefruit. If you are a citrous fan, I would recommend you give this one a shot.

Giving a second chance with Eureka, I got a takeout order of the 28-day dry-aged bone marrow burger and a steak salad. With the order placed on a weekday afternoon, the food was ready pretty quickly. Both the burger and salad tasted good, and the portions were definitely big enough for me to share with my family. The burger was an amazing medley of all flavors of the bone marrow shiitake butter, grilled onion, and the roasted tomato, and didn't feel chaotic at all. The fries that came along with the burger were also so hot and crispy, even after I drove 20 minutes home! The steak on the steak salad was unfortunately undercooked so that it was tough and chewy. But the avocado cilantro dressing really saved the salad.

I came here with a bunch of friends to grab a quick drink and bite. It was not too crowded around 3 on a Friday afternoon during happy hour. We had a large group that was able to come in and stand near the bar at a large table. The service was okay because all I ordered was nachos, but it took a while. We went during happy hour and did not realize that adding chicken to the nachos would make the nachos cost 20 instead of 8 dollars. The nachos themselves were very good with beans, cream, chicken, and jalapeños. They were very flavorful and crispy. Overall, there are a lot of drink options and food that is yummy. The happy hour deals are pretty good too.

Absolutely love the happy hour here! From 9pm-12am some food items and cocktails/beer are discounted. The servers are so sweet and I just love the atmosphere. It's located in UTC with a bunch of other food and activity spots. Will always come back for a good drink and grub :p

Wanted to watch a baseball game with some good food while visiting Palm Desert. Was happy to Come across Eureka. We had really tasty meal. My friend ordered avocado toast and she loved it. I ordered the oriental chicken salad and it was really very good. The dressing was perfect. I would have liked some more mandarin and wonton strips (really crisp and flavorful) but was overall pretty happy with my meal. I had also ordered a ginger ale type soda and it was really fresh ginger and a little on the spicy side but really tasty and fresh. I would definitely recommend that if you enjoy the taste of Ginger. We also shared a slice of the bourbon chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and I can highly recommend that dessert with a cup of coffee The restaurant itself had a cozy feel and a big patio area with cooling misters. There is a long bar inside with plenty of TVs for sports watching and the waitress was really sweet and helpful.

We came here late at night for some drinks at the bar and the staff here was super friendly. They didn't rush us with ordering and took their time to talk about the drinks. The staff and the manager Emi were very nice and attentive.

This place is a welcome respite to the fast food options at University Town Center off the UCI campus. Great indoor space and an even better outdoor setting with a modern fountain and ample umbrellas as well as space heater as needed to keep guests cozy and the conversation flowing. Service as usual was quick, friendly and constantly attentive. We had: nachos, the 28 day dry aged bone marrow burger with arugula salad, and the bratwurst beer dog. Both grilled items items were exceptionally prepared. We loved how fresh they tasted and savored the flavors. The Nachos were also a standout with the addition of black beans and freshly sliced (not jarred) peppers. We are sure to be back for the service and the awesome food!
