   I am VERY disappointed to learn that Eddie V's will close in June. I have been a frequent customer for all of its 20 years. The food is some of the best in the area. I hope it reopens in another Newport Beach location SOON!

   The Eddie V’s Newport Beach location is by far our favorite restaurant. We have always enjoyed our dining experiences here for many years. We are beyond sad to hear that this location is closing over the lease renewal with The Irvine Co. We hope that both parties can work this out. It would be a terrible loss if Eddie V’s Newport Beach closes.

   We love Eddie V’s but we’re shocked to hear that the Irvine Company has nearly doubled their rent and they are closing mid June. Our visit was wonderful, Nate … our server … was magnificent. The sea bass was the best I’ve had in a long time anywhere Losing this great restaurant to the predatory rent policies of Bren and Co is a sad day.

   Eddie V’s is the absolute BEST sea food/steak restaurant in the Newport Beach area. We travel from northern Orange County to Eddie V’s Wildfish when we want an awesome crab cake, fantastic drinks from the bar, fine wine at our table and great food! Managers Eric & Joey always greet us, treat our party with exemplary professionalism and make eating at the restaurant a very memorable experience. We heard from our server last night that the restaurant is closing in mid-June. What a tremendous loss for Newport Beach and Orange County, California! I am surprised that this particular restaurant is closing, since it beats out Maestro’s and all others in the area! When you have a winning team, great food and a dedicated clientele it makes little sense to fold up job!

    Website as of right now says Easter Brunch at Newport Beach location is $55. Open table takes you to the same website showing $55. It’s in fact $60 so it was bait and switch. Manager wouldn’t honor advertised price but our waitress did by comping our coffee. Besides this disappointing false advertising the service, food, and drink were 100% perfect. Steak and frittata were mind blowing and worth the increased price.
