Diner Reviews
  • "This restaurant always accommodates our requests. Wonderful for conversation. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Ultra delicious food! Excellent, knowledgeable and attentive staff. Love it."

  • "We have been to this restaurant before and liked it. We were so disappointed when we returned, we vowed we will never go back. We were seated upstairs which looked like a finished basement with the lights diimming throughout the evening. This was so unsettling, we mentioned it to our server. The answer was, basically, it is a very old building. Well, that doesn't mean it is safe! My husband ordered the special of the day. It was a pork chop and passable but not great. My meal was linguini with bolognese and it was ok. The entire experience was ruined because of the seating. Why, oh why do restaurants treat twosomes so poorly?"

  • "Rothschild's is consistently good food and service without being stuffy. It has a small bar at the front which is not obtrusive on the dining rooms. Menu is continental, but with American favorites and you will always find something that sounds very good at the time. The space is more than casual but not "dressy". Very good seafood selections and meat dishes will please anyone."

  • "A neighborhood gem in the incomparable Corona del Mar. The pasta is homemade, the sauces are light and tasty, and the entrees incredible. As for the service, as good as it gets. Enjoy a taste in Italy in Orange County, you will not be disappointed!"

  • "Although Rothschild's has been around for over 30 years, the entire dining experience remains fabulous. Exquisite service, sumptuous cuisine, a terrific wine list, and a romantic atmosphere, all create the perfect evening. If you haven't dined at Rothschild's, you must put it at the top of your list!!"

  • "Was a little disappointed in the taste of the food---nothing spectacular...in fact quite boring and bland. Salmon was so so...the sauce was too sweet. Short rib although well cooked, falling off the bone but the taste is very bland---- not bursting with flavor. Dessert was ordinary...nothing special...definitely NO WOW factor there. Its a little over priced for that type of quality and taste of food that they put out. Will not recommend."

  • "Growing up in Newport I have seen many restaurants and trends come and go but Rothschild's has withstood the test of time. It has a very old world warm and cozy feel which reminds me of many quaint restaurants in Europe. Our waiter Joachin was fabulous and we had a wonderful ladies luncheon-highly recommend the Eggplant Parmesan. We will definitely be back again!"
    Dined on 1/21/2014
  • "The service and food were excellent. We enjoyed the casual but correct environment. The restaurant is showing its age, but is very nicely maintained. We'll return."

  • "We had never been to Rothschild's, although it has been in Corona del Mar for many years, so decided to give it a try during the recent Newport Beach Restaurant Week. After reviewing the menu, we asked about some seafood dishes, specifically what type of clams were used in the seafood pasta dish. The waitress told us she didn't know so she went to the kitchen to ask. When she returned, she informed us that they used diced, canned clams! Needless to say, I was very surprised that a "high end" Italian restaurant in CDM would use such a product in their dishes so we declined to order any of the seafood dishes. The rest of the meal was OK (we ordered linguini with bolognese sauce, the pork chop and salmon, but we probably won't go back."

  • "I have eaten here several times almost since they opened and have always enjoyed it. But this time, we all complained to each other that the food was way too salty, even though we didn't order the same items. One friend got the soup and remarked that it had way too much of one spice. The service was great though. The staff was cheerful and helpful."

  • "When I lived in CDM some years ago, I went to Rothschilds regularly. Decided to return and see if it really deserved to be there all these years - and it DID!! Great menu, fabulous food! The only reason I did not give 5 stars for the service was because we had to sit there for some time at the beginning while some other "regulars" who came in later were tended to. But our server made up for that by comping us some fabulous desserts! The only reason I gave the ambience 4 stars was because to me the 5 star ambience is the little room downstairs, and we were placed upstairs. Would definitely recommend anytime you are in town!"

  • "We went to Rothchild's Restaurant on a Monday night for my husbands birthday. It was a little quiet, which I guess was to be expected for a Monday, but the food was fabulous and the service excellent. This was not our first time dining at Rothchild's and we always get the same... Fabulous food, excellent service. The ambience is perfect for a quiet, romantic dinner during the week. If you are looking for great ambience with a little more energy, book a weekend reservation. I highly recommend this restaurant."
    Dined on 1/13/2014
  • "Rothschilds is just about our favorite, special-occasion restaurant! The food is wonderful, service excellent…ambiance delightful! We requested a quiet, romantic table where my wife and I could enjoy one-another's company and conversation - and a perfect table was waiting for us in a small upstairs dining room that held just 4 tables. Our dinners were delicious and the service was warm and excellent. We brought our own bottle of Brunello which our waitress expertly decanted for us at the table. Overall, a delicious evening!"

  • "Rothchild's never disappoints. The food is wonderful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting and the personal makes this place special. This is a favorite "go-to" restaurant for us and many of our close friends."

  • "We have twin girls so my wife and I take each separately for dinner to a special dinner at a special place for Christmas and their birthday. One of them loves pasta so I took her to Rothschild s - she was the only child there but the server made her feel right at home. She is a picky eater so the server went out of her way to combine the marinara and the blush sauce so that she could try it. She landed up blending up both on top of a pasta ravioli creating a new dish and she loved it. The Sea-bass was also terrific and my 10 year old had a memorable experience."

  • "From the moment you walk up to the door you sense this will be someplace special to dine and the restaurant does not disappoint. You noyice the darkwood, old fashioned, bar area with quaint little tables. A busy restaurant. With my Open Table reservation we were immediately escorted to our table. The food was even more incredible than the ambience. Chicken Marsala was creatively plated and delicious to the last mirsel. We are returning again very soon."

  • "When I made the reservation for my husbands 60th birthday and wrote that we had our 1st date and got engaged there, I thought they might give him a little birthday attention. Another table was given a little dessert with a candle but my husband wasn't offered anything. Maybe I was expecting too much. The food was good but not exceptional as I remembered from the past and maybe that's because it was Wednesday? I'm sure we'll go back, but not for a while."
    Dined on 11/27/2013
  • "Great spot. Only 8-10 tables and the intimacy is what we are used to at home in S.F. The bone- in pork chop was 5 stars while the service was spot on. Don't let the name Rothchild's Italian fool you because these Rothchilds know Italian!!!"

  • "Rothchild's has been one of our favorite restaurants for some time, and it is usually our restaurant of choice when we want to "celebrate" something or someone, or just reward ourselves with a fine dining experience. Such was not the case last week. My veal scallopini was tough, and smothered in sauce. My wife ordered swordfish, which was one of their "specials" that evening, but ten minutes later, our waiter told us that unfortunately, the last swordfish dinner was served to someone else. "We do have some fresh halibut," our server said, so she said OK to the halibut. Her halibut was served lukewarm, and did not taste flaky like a fresh halibut normally would. She had to send it back while I sat there, and ate very slowly. Not good."

  • "One of the best meals I ever had. The service was great and the food even better. I had the Calamari Scampi and it was tender and the sauce was just incredible. Make sure you get the Caesar salad and some garlic toast as well."
