Orange County’s hottest reservations

On OpenTable’s most recent Diners’ Choice list of the most-booked restaurants in Orange County, the top three are at Irvine Company centers.

The most-in-demand reservations are at RH Ocean Grill at Fashion Island, Javier’s at Crystal Cove Shopping Center and Joey at Fashion Island.

In fact, half of the top 10 are at Irvine Company properties, four at Fashion Island. On the list: Javier’s sibling location at Irvine Spectrum Center and Ocean 48 at Fashion Island. What do they have in common? Spectacular menus in spectacular settings.

Rooftop RH Ocean Grill is filled with faux olive trees and stylish fountains. Food highlights range from mini lobster rolls with caviar to the shaved rib-eye dip.

A meal on the newly expanded patio at luxe cantina Javier’s is your quickest escape to a resort vacation. A repast in the dining room is no less transporting.

Draws at Joey include a locally and globally inspired menu presented inside amid contemporary art and on an expansive patio with a retractable roof.

Ocean 48 offers chef-sourced, ultra-grade seafood and steaks amid knock-your-socks-off decor, including a reflecting pool in the dining room.
