My wife is looking for restaurant to host business colleagues.
she is looking for Irvine or Santa Ana, CA region.
I think she’s looking for something interesting rather than usual Houston kind of place

Thanks.

In Irvine, Il Foranio and Javier’s are a step up from Houston.

Javier’s probably the most interesting for out of towners
