Great experience from the get-go. If you can, try to make a reservation because the wait times get pretty high here. However, if you do happen to wait, you at least have the beach to enjoy. You can also grab at drink the Bootlegger Bar next door while you wait. Our server was very knowledgeable and accommodating(wish I could remember his name). We got to the restaurant towards the end of their lunch hour, but wanted to order certain items on their dinner menu. He said it wouldn't be a problem and that he would alert the kitchen to put our order in when they were ready. In the mean time we enjoyed some delicious cocktails, appetizers and soups. We ordered the tomato and bleu soup, clam chowder, ahi tuna tacos, and steak skewers(which I HIGHLY recommend!). A couple a drinks which I can remember the names to, but were really tasty. And finally for our dinner entrées we ordered the braised short rib ravioli and the blue crab stuffed salmon. Both delicious and worth the wait! And for dessert we ordered their beignets! Sooo good! We'll definitely be back soon!

Wonderful, as always!

Everything was great at the restaurant. My only complaint would be on the directions of using the tunnel to go from the parking area to the restaurant. The guard at the gate told us about the tunnel but there were no signs from the parking lot to the path and no signs on the path as to whether to turn right or go straight. We had to ask other patrons as we went along as to whether we were approaching the tunnel under PCH. My birthday girl kept asking me if we were going in the right direction and signs would have been helpful. Once there service was great and food was tremendous..

We have eaten at Beachcomber 4 times this week, breakfast, lunch and dinner twice. Every meal was delicious, servers were great, friendly, helpful courteous and professional. The best restaurant for food, service and Definitely ambience which is spectacular! Brendan and Oscar were fantastic servers, and Abby was a terrific hostess. The best restaurant in California, bar none!

As always… food, drinks and service were wonderful! LOVE the reservations as even at 9am Friday, there was at least a 30 min wait if not more!

It's a must . The whole experience is a lot of fun. Best to go before dark so you can take in the view. Food was tasty, however I'd like to see a few more choices. Good drinks but a little pricey at $15 to $20 +. Location makes it worth it.

Amazing little spot right on the beach. Perfect view of the sunset if you time your reservation right. Food is amazing! Especially their watermelon salad. Will be coming back again.

Been enjoying this special place for years. Will keep coming back every couple of months.

One of our favorite places to eat. Great food, fabulous setting, service is wonderful

Friendly and great food!

Was beautiful day- we loved being on the beach by the ocean. Our server was very good and food was delicious !

We love this place! Great food, service and ocean view! Me and my 2 buddies have been trying to get together here for 18ish months? It’s hard to get a reservation a couple days before and with Covid, weather at the beach, and our constantly changing schedules we finally accomplished our get together by reserving 4 weeks in advance for our chosen mid-week breakfast. Our only disappointment was the 90 minute rule to have the table. They come and oust you to the minute time is up because they hold 75% ? of the tables for walk ins. That being said, we will be back and maybe they will relax the rule a little once they can seat tables more closely together.

Food was great! Desserts on point.

Beautiful restaurant right on the beach-wear comfy shoes to get there-short walk in the sand.

Great atmosphere and even better food! The Bloody Mary is a must have!

Had a wonderful breakfast at The Beachcomber this morning, 9/15/21. Our table has the chilaquiles and the corn beef hash with eggs. Both came out quickly and both were excellent. The ambiance was amazing because the surf was very big so we had waves crashing on shore about 20 yard from us. We had a very enjoyable experience.

Perfect spot with amazing food & service! Love this place!

Out of towners that LOVE meals here!!!

Great food, great service

Great lunch delicious food, spectacular setting and highly recommended

Beautiful location & great service & food! Resist going for the sweet treats, the eggs dishes provide better energy!

Love The Beachcomber.
Our reservations allowed us to watch the sunset.

I ordered the Fruiti dish & was accommodated to replace Mahi Mahi & Calamari. This is a dish where you have to eat with your hands. Suggest adding a side plate for shells and handi wipes.

The shrimp was overcooked.
The sauce is bland, needs spice.
Loved the clam chowder.

Hubby got the RibEye Spl. It was a chewy cut of meat. We didn't realise the Spl was almost $65!

For a better ribeye, go to Costco.

Our bill for two was $148.

The food, service and the setting on the beach exceeded our expectations. Best clam chowder and short ribs!! It's amazing the amount of delicious food that they can prepare in such a small kitchen. Melissa our server was incredible. I would highly recommend making a reservation as this place is very popular with locals and visitors.

It’s a very charming spot. I would recommend it for the ambience and experience of the charm of Crystal Cove. However, the menu is limited, the food wasn’t anything special, the signature cocktail was weak and too sweet, and the portions were small for the price.

This is such a cool place! We ate out on the patio and the food was yummy. Fun cocktails too. Highly recommend

Visit whenever possible. Always memorable. Exceptional!

Service, view, food and drinks AMAZING! Jordan was an awesome server.

Visiting Newport Beach. This place is a must for out of towner’s.

It is something unique and special because of the location, but it isn’t a place that relies on location for luxury pricing and then doesn’t have good food and service. Food and services is really good too. The building is not fancy but the open air seaside ambience is very nice. I would recommend it for a special dinner.

Great food, great service and a breathtaking view of sunset made it a perfect night

We had a wonderful time and the service was outstanding!

Lovely. Sat in patio with nice view. I come every year when I visit Long Beach, where I grew up. Beautiful clean beach and ocean.

Food was good, service was good and the location is awesome!!

Nice location & ambiance, great service & good food! Only complaints are that at night it’s very dark at the tables making it super difficult to see the menu & also the prices are a bit high.

We were told the Beachcomber was a "must go" stop while in Newport. We went on Friday and it did not disappoint! Excellent food, service, view was unbelievable. We will be back!

Had a reservation. Were seated right on time.
Cameron was a very polite and prompt waiter.
Love rhe grilled artichokes and bloody Mary.
Not thrilled about the french fries.

Celebrating birthdays.. everything great except The Bloody Mary's weren't as good as before

Great location. Can get quite warm in late afternoon/evening. Food was excellent. Service as well.

The BEST of everything!!! Nothing compares to this little gem. We prefer breakfast; Steak Chiliquiles with Beinets to start.

delicious as always, we had corned beef hash and juevos rancheros. started with beignets. Coffee good and also the big bloody merry
