   The food was good but not exceptional. Nice harbor view ambiance. The server was attentive, and the manager checked on each table’s satisfaction.

   Service was top notch! Food was perfect and tasty. From the moment that we drove into the parking lot, to having a drink before dinner. Our bar service was superb, very knowledgeable and helpful. Dinner service was great and not rushed. We will definitely be back and recommend this restaurant to everyone. Can’t wait to return. Thank you all so much.

   I ordered the Cioppino and it was excellent. My wife had short ribs and loved this as well. The ambiance was wonderful and a guitar player played soft background music that was was nice but still allowed conversation. One of our favorite "go to" places.

   Way too noisy and very pricey. The waiter was excellent. The sommelier took too long to get to our table then didn’t have the bottle we selected but he made a good substitution and kept the price the same. My fish was good but my dates steak was literally a slab of meet with no sauce and nothing else on the plate, so not a great presentation. He ordered a side of potatoes. Nothing in the restaurant to quell the noise - my ears are still ringing the day after. Very hard to have a conversation.

    We were simply having dinner at our favorite place. Everything is always good! I had Mahi Mahi, & the mister had lamb. Patrick the bartender is always happy and makes great cocktails! Montana up front was a pleasure.Jeff our server was knowledgeable and was a pleasure too. We’ve never had any thing but delicious food here! Crème brûlée for dessert was awesome !

    We reserved a table for 2 at 8:45 for New Years Eve. We paid $$390 for dinner and dancing and free champaign at midnight. We were sat on a screened in patio upstairs with another party of 4. It was a very small space with outside heaters. The screens were ripped and did not seal the room adequately. Water was coming in by the opening at the bottom of the curtain from the downpour outside. Through out dinner we had several servers and other employees try to fix the problem by using mops and towels. The water leak unfortunately was not fixed. But, the table of 4 was moved closer to us to avoid the flow of water coming through the screen, which was really the icing on the cake so to speak. No one asked if few would prefer another table, an apology for the inconvenience etc. The party of 4 was on the verge of being obnoxious after 2 rounds of pre-dinner cocktails. My husband and I were speechless. Trying to keep our evening from being a total failure, we quickly finished our meal ($600 with tip) and hit the dance floor. The dancing was great, the food was great. Our dinner experience was horrible. By far the worst experience dining we have ever had - $60 or $600 - without exception.

    It was our Anniversary and New Years Eve. The waiter told us they normally give a tiramisu desert but they weren’t doing it that night.

    We were seated on the upstairs patio and it was so nice. Not crowded with tables and the noise level was lower. Our server Sydney was so friendly and outstanding. It was a great New Years atmosphere and we enjoyed ourselves so much.

    Kendall our server was perfect in every way. It was our 43 rd anniversary & we enjoyed our cocktails, dinner & wine. We were comfortable in our booth however it was right under a speaker @ the music was loud & to energetic for dinner. Plus the high noise level. We always enjoy dining at the Winery Newport Beach & keep it as one of our very favorites. Look forward to returning.

    The prosciutto wrapped shrimp appetizer was amazing and so was the beignets for dessert. The entrees were absolutely delicious as well but my son and I laughed as we could have just come for a drink and the appetizer and dessert and been more than happy.

    The experience was just ok but at these prices, we ultimately expected more. The food was more attractive than plentiful but the deal breaker was the taste… nothing remarkable or memorable at all! Our waitress was pleasant and engaging but we had long intervals after finishing each course (15-20 mins). Finally, the musician was more noise than talent, and our special occasion wasn’t recognized (why bother asking?)

    My favorite local restaurant!!!! Always good This last time we had Ryan serve us. He was great. Sea Bass is my favorite! Espresso martinis are great.Jess & Patrick were behind the bar and awesome. They even brewed decaf espresso for my martini. The hosts are very nice and do their best to accommodate you.

    First time there and had a great time. Service was really great and food was tasty and reasonably priced. Only negatives was the seating since there were crumbs all over the seats and even worse there was an air vent under the seat blowing cold air at my friends bare legs. Fortunately she could cover up with a jacket but seriously who put an air vent under a seat?!
