HOTEL IRVINE’S SUMMER CULINARY EVENTS

08.02.18

Looking for some new refreshing cocktails, boozy popsicles, tasty brunches and creative specialty burgers to enjoy this summer? Look no further than the culinary events at Hotel Irvine’s Eats Kitchen & Bar and Red Bar and Lounge.

Here’s what’s in store for you: 

Summer Frosé Brunch at EATS Kitchen & Bar

Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., through September

It’s all cool and breezy at EATS Kitchen & Bar this summer. They’re mixing up the slushy, pink beverage everyone is going ga-ga for this summer – frosés – in flavors like Frosé Y’all with raspberries and orange liqueur, Strawberry Frosé with rhubarb and Bittersweet Frosé with crème de Pamplemousse – at a reasonable $8 per glass or $30 a pitcher. And while sipping Frosés, Sparkling Sangria, a Build Your Own Bloody Mary or a Flight of Fruit Mimosas, more fun on the patio includes games such as Giant Jenga and Connect 4. When it’s time to eat, who doesn’t crave Orange Blossom French Toast made with challah bread soaked in orange blossom water laced batter, fried in butter and finished in the oven for a moist, custard-like center and topped with mascarpone, poached rhubarb and a sprinkling of pistachios. And wait, there are Chicken and Waffle decadently and deliciously served with rosemary maple syrup and bacon butter.
