Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Newport

We always look forward to dinner at the Craft House in Dana Point. The service is great and servers very friendly, always looking out for your needs. Always a first choice.😋

Waitress was a little confused and initially brought the wrong tea. She was apologetic and may have been new. My only complaint is there was a small dog at the table near us that was barking off and on. Felt they should have been asked to take the dog out of it couldn’t behave or stop barking. Luckily it was towards the end of our time there but feel bad for others who just got there. Other than that had a great time and enjoyed the food.

We had a great meal. We shared a great Caesar salad and the infamous double cut pork chop with fig glaze. Awesome!

Raya never disappoints.....The window view, the service, Joel the waiter and all the table waitstaff are outstanding at their profession. The enchiladas stuffed with seafood, the Caesar salad and the cappuccino accompanied by warm churros and pumpkin ice cream leave a palate that urges me to make my Valentine reservations. Yum!

We enjoyed Saturday Brunch for my wife's 50th birthday. The food and service was excellent and we appreciate the "pastries of gratitude" to make the celebaration even better.
