- MMichelleOrange County •38 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a wonderful evening. The valet and hostess were prompt and friendly without assistance when we arrived. Stacy was our server. She was very engaging and warm. She professionally explained the menu and the specials. She listened to us and was intuitive about the pace of our meal. Our ribeye and mahi mahi were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. It was a treat to find sticky toffee pudding on the menu as it is a UK favorite of ours. The Winery really knows how to put together a team of professionals who can present a beautiful dining experience.More infoThe Winery Restaurant and Wine Bar - Newport BeachPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Newport Beach•4.6

- 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
