Best restaurants near me in Newport Beach, CA

Overall we enjoyed our dining experience. It was all of our first time dining there. It would have been nice to have a Manager or someone hello knowing that it was the case. We celebrated a birthday and had nice beverages and food. It appears money needs to be put into the restaurant though to continue to keep to par & scale up. But overall we enjoyed ourselves. Our server, Michela, did a great job, she was attentive and treated us well. When we go back we would ask for her.

Love the service - food - vibe - cocktails The noise definitely increases by 7:30

Fantastic salmon, Waygu beef, Rockfish- all such an epicurean experience! we had a table near the sushi chefs, and it was fantastic with the view of the water nearby. Wonderful night for my daughter’s 21st birthday!

The host today was absolutely terrible. We made a reservation via open table and he wouldn’t let us wait for a table outside. He placed us inside next to a VERY loud speaker. When I told him it was too loud he said “what I can’t hear you” which was ironic… I told him it was too loud and asked if we could move somewhere else inside. He said no but he’d turn down the music. A couple next to us thanked us for saying something, saying they too said it was too loud. Eventually he said he’d try to get us somewhere outside. He came back 1 minute later saying he’d made room for us. Funny enough there were three open tables when he sat us outside and they remained open for almost 15mins after we had been seated. Why I ask was it so impossible for us to sit outside right away? I have to say the hosts here has be always acted too cool for school. The good news is our waitress was lovely, our food was great but I have to say, we almost left after the negative host experience. Do better Zinqur management at finding warmer hosts. Nothing like starting off a meal out off.

Our Mother's Day Brunch was outstanding!! Excellent service, atmosphere and menu.
