6ix "Park it Right Here" Grill

The turkey ciabatta sandwich from the 6ix Park Grill.
           Upon visiting the 6ix Park Grill, you get an aura of class. Not too fancy, but just elegant enough to display true class. Behind the ambiance though, is delicious food that leaves a lasting impression. On top of all that, 6ix Park Grill is wrapped up in great service, catering to your every need and desire. I would say that is a fine dining experience.
           Located adjacent to the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, California, the restaurant defines themself by their California Coastal Cuisine. Their dinner menu is dripping with juicy steaks, salmons, and other choice meats. Their lunch menu is splattered with a variety of salads, soups, sandwiches, and other light, but filling dishes that are appealing to a very general clientele. The sandwiches are served with your choice of french fries, sweet potato fries, fresh fruit, or green salad, and while the french fries are above average, and the green salad is phenomenal, the fresh fruit is a sure-fire delectable choice. With an array of colors and tastes from succulent pineapples to refreshing blueberries and raspberries, you get a savory compliment to any fresh sandwich you choose. The turkey ciabatta which consists of a good amount of turkey, soft ciabatta bread, some dill Havarti cheese, a healthy portion of ripe avocado, chive aioli, and a layer of green lettuce is truly divine. Never before has a simple sandwich been so scrumptious and filling at the same time. You get the same kind of quality and portion with every dish on the menu. For a nicer restaurant with slightly higher prices than your average Cheesecake Factory type of place, you get large portions, so it is worth the cost.
           One of their specialties, a dish that people come far and wide for, is the wood fire shrimp which is doused in a Thai chili marinade that is absolutely addicting. It is impossible to get enough of this prawn because it is so succulent, so rich, and is comparable to a juicy steak. It is complimented by spicy aioli and a slice of avocado to really "Californianize" the dish. It is definitely a must have if you are visiting the 6ix Park Grill.
           The setting is part of what makes the restaurant though. The lighting is low and romantic and you feel classy even before the food is served. It helps to hone in your senses on the glamorous taste that the restaurant provides. 6ix Park Grill is perfect for a nice outing with good friends, a romantic spot for that special someone, and they even have a private room that works for business meeting or wedding parties. It has the perfect atmosphere and feeling for everyone and that is part of what you paying for.
The menu captures the essence of the restaurant.
           Finally the service is the icing on the cake. The servers are polite and friendly and they are very understanding of everything that you need. Quick to refill and cater to special orders, the waiters are what really make this restaurant great.
           Ted Hill, Executive Chef at 6ix Park Grill, has a lot going for him at this restaurant. He has a good staff behind him, killer recipes, and a beautiful setting in the building connected with the Hyatt Regency. It is so good that you will definitely want to park it there for awhile and never leave; just have the good food keep on rolling in. The sign of a good restaurant is not how many people want to go there, but it is how many people never want to leave, and 6ix Park Grill has that going for them.
