- SStuartEl Paso •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI always enjoy visiting Tavern House. The meals are always delicious, but save room for dessert. Reasonably priced for the quality is service and cuisine. Don’t miss it.More infoTavern House Kitchen + BarPrice: Expensive• American• Newport Beach•4.8
- OTOpenTable DinerOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoHostess named Sam acknowledged us as soon as we walked in out of the pouring rain. She got us seated earlier than I expected and she was friendly. The rest was amazing, but just the small things entering for the first time mean a lot.More infoA Restaurant - Original Location on Newport BlvdPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Newport Beach•4.8
- JJilleOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoI made reservations. I chose this restaurant because none of my guests had eaten here before and to celebrate a friend's 91st birthday. for a friend. When I made the reservations I requested a table overlooking the nursery. There was no wait when we arrived. They accommodated us with a table I requested. The overall service was excellent. The waitress, Becca was pleasant, knowledgeable about the menu, and very attentive. She came back several times during our lunch to make sure everything was okay and to see if we needed anything. Everyone raved about the food. Three or us ordered the tuna sandwich and one ordered the burger. It was all excellent. Remembering we were there to celebrate a birthday, Becca brought out a complimentary dessert with a candle. The whole experience for me and my guests couldn't have been better. We will definitely be returning and bringing more friends.More infoFarmhouse at Rogers GardensPrice: Expensive• American• Corona del Mar•4.8
- AAngieVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •78 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoSuperb food and service. We had Short Ribs pappardelle and chicken schnitzel spätzle. Rib meat is not all lean but with a lil fat makes it melt in your mouth tender. Pasta def. made fresh since it absorbed all the beef sauce and butter and cheese. Chicken cutlet still moist inside and spätzle tossed with fresh vege made for a simple tasty side. All the staff are efficient- great teamworkMore infoOlea Newport BeachPrice: Moderate• American• Newport Beach•4.8
