Restaurants near Newport Beach

We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, atmosphere was top notch, but our server Andy really hit a home run. He was incredible. He was so helpful, so charismatic and fun. We will be back just for him.

Always an Amazing evening at Original A!!! It’s like Cheers where everyone knows your name:)

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!

I will start by saying I was worried the food would not live up to my expectations, however that was not a problem at all. Some of the freshest and best executed dishes I have had. The prices add up quick, but once we were done with the meal it was worth every penny. Favorite dishes included: yellowtail jalapeño, chilean sea bass, ribeye with truffle butter and the mango kakigori shaved iced is a must. The tuna tacos were small but good as well. Server was very attentive without being pushy which was appreciated since we were there closing on a Sunday night. Will definitely visit again when in the Newport area.

Great view and atmosphere. They have a great host. She is very pleasant, professional and competent. Did not catch her name, but she is from Argentina. The view of the Newport Harbor and the atmosphere are phenomenal. It’s mostly French. Me and my friend, we both had Stake with fries. The food was good, but not great. The fries, were excellent, though. I would come back and try different items in the menu.
