Bistango Gardens in Irvine, CA

A couple weeks ago, I got to experience a menu tasting at Orange County restaurant Bistango's al fresco dining area Bistango Gardens as apart of their Summer Block Party series. Until September 26, Bistango Gardens is serving up an array of tantalizing plates from a dedicated menu with featured wines, craft beers, and sangrias Wednesdays-Fridays. Nestled under sprawling palm trees and umbrellas at a relaxing lounge area, I got to taste the Bistango Gardens menu which includes the following:

My favorite dish were the grilled fish tacos! Try out the menu for yourself!

"Bistango is renowned for its diverse menu of fine American cuisine set in an airy atmosphere distinguished by fine art exhibits and large umbrellas that suspend from the ceiling lending great intimacy. An extensive cocktail list of classics and house specialties and a 400-bottle wine list that was heralded by Wine Spectator round out the offerings. New to its beverage offerings are 30 craft beers by the bottle, which include some difficult to acquire selections. Bistango serves lunch and dinner weekdays and dinner-only Saturdays. Live entertainment can be enjoyed each evening in its sophisticated lounge where couples may enjoy dancing the night away." - Bistango
