Restaurants near Newport Beach

Had a horrible experience and Nobu Malibu, so I went here ready to criticize everything, and to my surprise, I had a LOVELY time. Wonderful food, service, ambience, everything. Highly recommend for date night. Beware, families do bring their screaming babies here, but other than that, loved the place.

Atmosphere was very welcoming, staff was knowledgeable on food and drinks. The espresso martini is to die for! A very cute lunch brunch place with the girlies.

Came for Saturday brunch. It was a gloomy day so it wasn't busy, but we were ok with that as we had 2 babies in our party. Service was exceptional and food was great with good portions and good value. Get the warm bread basket, it was so good. Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view of the marina, we'll for sure be coming back again soon.

Great service, great food. Fun atmosphere. Make sure you ask how long you have the table for and plan accordingly.

Rusty Pelican never disappoints! Thank you to our extraordinary waiter, Joseph. He was attentive and thoughtful. We were chilled sitting inside, and he brought my guest and me blankets! Outstanding food as always. The Alaskan halibut on a bed of mashed potatoes was delicious! Cold, fresh crisp salad was excellent as well. Thank you Joseph for your high quality service! We will be back!
