- JJanisVIPOrange County •33 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food is excellent! I heartily recommend the Cocoanut Shrimp. It's listed as an appetizer but comes with coleslaw and there are 5 shrimp, so with a bit of bread it makes a nice lunch. My grandson had a tasty looking Vegan dish. The service is outstanding at the Newport location! I especially appreciate the manager, Pilar. If you haven't tried it, you must go!More infoTommy Bahama - Newport BeachPrice: Very Expensive• American• Newport Beach•4.7
