Very disappointed. There was a bartender (older gentleman with a trimmed white beard) who looked at my group of 6 colleagues and immediately said “reservations only.” I looked inside and saw 3 people seated and thought to myself — that’s odd. After I called the restaurant, the operator told me there were a number of cancellations tonight and said I could walk in and be fine. I walked back in and told me he wouldn’t seat us despite there being cancellations. He said there were more coming so we waited for 15 minutes. No one. He closed the door on us — almost expecting us to leave. Extremely unfortunate because I had such high hopes. I’ll be sure no one in our circles will be going.

This place was not the typical OC bar. They had something going for them that was not OC. The cocktail menu was handwritten, the craft cocktails had care put into them, and the staff was fun and interesting. Went there to meet some friends for a night cap. There was no menu anymore. I had to choose the drink I wanted (This takes the fun out of choosing a craft cocktail that is unique). The drink was good, but not cutting edge/fun like it was before. This is not the YNK that I knew. If you're looking for a cocktail, go to the bar outside. You'll get faster service than you do inside YNK and they have your typical hotel menu. Kinda sad that Marriott has let it go. I'll try again in a couple months, but hopefully it'll change for the better.

Love this little lounge so much I don't even want to tell you about it. 1: It's tucked away towards the back; 2. Mixologist Jonathan is awesome; 3. The cocktail menu always changes: 4. Love the 1960s retro decor; 5. Makes me feel like I'm lounging in my own private home with a bar keeping table stocked full to satisfy my every whim and fancy. 6. What more can you ask for? 7. Oh- full kitchen menu available and servers will bring right to you without you leaving the lounge.

Relaxing, good eats, mixologist, and nice scenery. Staff is very pleasant, attentive, and if you want something sooner there each seating area or table has a service button. You can relax outside on the patio, just inside and feel the slightly cool breeze. Sit at the bar, the speak easy, or at tables.
