It was a good experience once we got past the rude hostess. We told her that we had one more person walking down the hill and she literally told us that she had nine minutes until she gave the table away in a rude tone. Then she gave it away to the next party. The manager handled it but she was just rude.
Food was good, not fantastic as usual, but it's still wonderful...we will be back
The Beachcomber is so special, with it’s gorgeous view on a beautiful stretch of beach. One of my absolute favorite places. Fantastic margaritas!
Always an enjoyable dining experience. Waiter Ozzie has a secret cache of hot sauce that adds to the spiciness of the meal.
Husbands birthday
Ryan was a delightful server. Ask to sit in his section for a pleasant experience! Food isn’t a WOW factor but that’s not what you come here for! Ambiance is a 10!
Great place to take friends fro out of town
We had a fantastic breakfast with great service! Corner porch table was just perfect. Portions are large and pricing is reasonable for the area.
When booking on Open Table only a very few times were open, so we booked a very early dinner only to find loads of tables open. Asked the restaurant Mgr who said they must leave 70% tables open for drop ins! This is no where stated when booking online! Needs to be fixed and listed on Open Table.
The outdoor patio, even being right ON the beach had way, way too much noise! Get some tablecloths or something to absorb noise we could not even hear ourselves......
Love this place
At work 3 of us decide to pick a new place to go once a month. I selected Beachcombers and we were not disappointed. The weather was perfect and we all really enjoyed atmosphere. It was noisy, maybe because curtains were down.
Great food. Annoying that you have to take a shuttle there and back (that costs). It was raining the day we went and we were soaked. They aren’t able to drop you off right at the door and there were tons of mud puddles that our two boys insisted on splashing in- gross. Food and views were great though.
Fabulous view, service & food
I love the food, ambiance and ocean view of the Beachcomber Cafe. I took my cousin and her husband here for breakfast and was sure to order the beignets. (My cousin lived in New Orleans for many years, and she said these beignets were better than the ones in New Orleans!) We had a nice walk on the beach and enjoyed the overall surroundings here. This is becoming my go-to place for special occasions.
The only big draw here would be the ocean I would say. Food was fairly good except I had a lousy waiter to whom I had emphasized that I can't eat spicy food. He promised it wasn't spicy and delivered spicy shrimp. I said I don't think I can eat this. He commented yeah, those chefs have a whole other idea of spicy and walked away. I consider that poor service. The ambiance is well, beachy I suppose but if you sit outside be prepared for pigeons flying over your head and around your table.
I guess for tourists from cold weather it's a blast to be near the water, but I won't go again unless I have to. The service turned me off.
Loved it!!! The Fruttie de Mares was so very delicious. The server was helpful and fun. We highly recommend it.
Same old FABULOUS place. The location on the beach is second to none and the food is very very good and at reasonable prices. There's nothing else like it.
Okay let’s just say this is likely one of the best if not the best place to eat along California’s Gold Coast of Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar and Laguna Beach. Try the Kurobuta pork chop that is melt in your mouth tender due to its preparation and you will be amazed with the Maine diver scallops with prosciutto. A great starter includes the crispy calamari and Thai steak skewers... just ridiculous how good the food and atmosphere is!
Birthday dinner for my son and his girlfriend . Food was spectacular .
Took the granddaughter after a day at the beach. Nice lunch but noisy crowd that day!
We had a wonderful breakfast today. Great food, and service. Nice to see Amy and say hello. We love the improvements to the rest!. We love that you do not rush us with our grandchildren. Your the Number #1 rest. in OC .
Delicious food, friendly service & beautiful view!!!
Treated our son and daughter-in-Law to breakfast in beautiful location. Good food, great service, and the ocean. How can one go wrong?
Wonderful setting, great food!
Food was excellent. I ordered blueberry pancakes that were juicy and full of fruit. Beautiful day to have breakfast on the beach
Beautiful day, wonderful table with an amazing view, thank you to the Beachcomber!!
Exceptional food, outstanding service, lovely experience.
The daily special of Mac/Cheese with a Lobster Tail on top was great for one of our guests, MahiMahi Tacos 🌮 also good but the Fish and Chips was just ok with ice cold 🍟! Ugh! Great setting! Been here before.
We have been coming to The Beachcomber for years on special occasions I.e. birthdays, anniversaries and with out of town guests. The service, food and setting cannot get any better. It is always the perfect place to dine.
Fabulous cheery service, as always! Fantastic food, and unbeatable atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Great view of the water and beach. Food was very good and the service was great. I look forward to having breakfast here with my mother and daughter when I have a day off from work. It’s very relaxing.
This is our favorite go-to restaurant for special occasions. Casual attire but with the ambience and food of fine dining. We always take out-of-state guests there just to show off our Southern California weather and lifestyle.
We loved our server AJ! We had a fabulous Easter brunch!
Great dining right on the sand. No place quite like it. Creative menu, well crafted and well presented. Attentive and informed servers. Outstanding place for a brunch.
Wanted to try this place based on recommendations and location. Did not disappoint.
Birthday- very nice venue, good prices, good service as well. We’ll be back!!
Beautiful view on a perfect night.... My husband and I had a front window inside the restaurant whille the sun was setting and a wonderful breeze was coming through. We were early and the hostess was kind enough to accomodate our arrival, giving us the perfect table to celebrate a birthday. Our waiter kind of had a rocky start, rushing us to order almost immediately after seating us. We tried to give him cues but he kept coming back, without allowing us time to review the menu. He did finally slow down and became more personable.
My husband and I shared brussel sprouts as an appetizer and it was good. We also ordered the same main dish, the Icelandic cod and it was very good and would recommend it to others. Make sure you request a window seat! What a wonderful experience!
Valet was kind and the front desk was very nice when we asked if we could walk around because we are quite interested in staying at the hotel. Only oddity is that the rooms are not air-conditioned and don't really know how that would work on a hot night.
Food was delicious
Have eaten here many times...never disappoints...food is great, view is great, wait time is a little longer than what I’d like...but great times!
Love the setting, the menu items are varied. I was dissapointed our server seemed a bit distracted and not as attentive as servers we have had in the past.
