About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
Tavern House is the creation of restaurateurs David Wilhelm and Gregg Solomon who have developed numerous Orange County restaurants over the past 25 years, including Kachina, Bistro 201, Barbacoa, Chat Noir, Diva, Sorrento Grille and French 75. The menu reflects a collection of Chef Wilhelm's popular signature seafood and comfort food dishes. A large centrally located bar drives a vibrant night time scene in what is arguably one of the best view locations in Newport Harbor. Tavern House has a beautiful 50 seat private room for banquets with full views of the harbor and a warm central fireplace.

    As usual the service and ambience were right up there with the fantastic meal we had. Love having the owner (?) manager? come by and ask how we were enjoying our evening. The service was impecable.

    Excellent Friday night experience. We were treated to a window seat and watched the sunset while we ate. The best part was our charming waitress, Britta. She was so kind and fun! She even brought my mom hot water, lemon, and honey because she had temporarily lost her voice. We ordered the squash blossom flat bread and the house salad for a light meal. Delicious as always!

    We had a delightful meal with friends last night. They had never been and were thrilled to find a new go to place. Disappointed to learn they discontinued Comfort Food Mondays. Hopefully, they will bring it back.

    Food is simply delicious! I had the prime rib hash with meat that was crazy tender and flavorful. Others had chicken & waffles, the salmon Buddha bowl, Tavern scramble, and huevos rancheros. Everyone was happy. We visited for brunch on Easter; obviously a busy day, but it sure did not affect our service. The only drawback was the noise level. We were seated in the smaller room. It was really packed and noisy enough that it impacted our ability to interact. Once it emptied out a bit, we could finally hear each other without straining.

    We had my Dad with us. He turned 100 a month ago. He had the Seabass and he loved it.
