Eating at Antonello’s is a very special experience from the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by the host. You feel very welcome by all the staff. Our server Manuel was very efficient very friendly. Our food was delivered perfectly hot. the food is seasoned subtly, so that you can enjoy the freshness of the ingredients. The salmon is so fresh. It tasted like it had just been caught. We always order our favorite fettuccine Alfredo is actually is not on the menu, but they make it for us . Antonello is one of my favorite restaurants of all time We are very lucky to have such a wonderful experience of fine cuisine. antonello’s is one of my favorite restaurants of all time. We are lucky to have such fine cuisine in Orange County. It is better than eating in Italy.

Perfect dinner experience. Plan to be there for a solid 4 hours. Cocktail hour in the wine cellar allowed us to personally choose a bottle post owner recommendation! The scallop was so tender and melted in your mouth. The mushroom risotto that was served was also delicious- I don’t even like mushrooms. The intermission was lovely. You could spend time outdoors on their patio as well as explore the restaurant and the kitchen. The best part of the dinner was by far the ribeye paired with a lovely red wine reduction sauce- cooked perfectly- with a potato croquette. The entire evening was lovely and I will definitely be back.

We celebrated my Daughter’s 25th birthday and had a wonderful experience at Pali Wine Co. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable if you’re new to wine tasting. The restaurant and restrooms were very clean. 10/10 would recommend for your next date night, birthday, or girls night.

About the restaurant

Westwood Coast is an elevated take on the country-music themed steakhouse, bar and lounge. We celebrate our love for country music and lifestyle by serving amazing food, elevated cocktails and fun country entertainment. We're a whiskey & bourbon lovers bar, featuring 100+ bottles on the back bar and select cask-picks available by the bottle, to our Smoked Spirit Society members.

Westwood Coast isn’t stuffy. While sharing a name with our San Francisco based sister restaurant, we’ve leveled up the food and the decor while bringing the same focus on cocktails, music, and entertainment to a beautiful space on the sunlit corner of Newport and Harbor. A stone's throw from the beaches in Orange County, Westwood Coast is where Orange County goes to get its country on.
