    We made a reservation for our 55th anniversary dinner on May 26. Our reservation was for 5 o’clock so the restaurant was mostly empty. We had requested a window booth on the reservation. We were told none were available. When we left at 7 o’clock there were four empty booths. Did we forget to bribe someone on the way in? Won’t be going back.

    Great service, not rushed. We spent over two hours enjoying drinks and food. Sides for entrees are portioned for two at which server should have informed us prior to ordering. Overall, not cheap but, 4 stars for value to dollar.

    Our service was impeccable and deserving of a generous tip. Food was also quite tasty and prepared as requested. We had the lobster special and salmon. Wine recommendations were spot on. The live music was fun and loud, and the atmosphere and our table with a water view was so special. A perfect evening was made even more over the top when our waitperson rushed out to the valet parking to find us and give us a wad of bills that had fallen out of my husband’s pocket and onto the floor under our table. We thought we had retrieved all of the bills, but clearly we missed some and our wait person was most kind to hunt us down and return them. The joy of human kindness lives on!!!

    First time at the restaurant and absolutely loved it! I picked it for my birthday dinner and it was a great choice. We enjoyed a cocktail at the bar prior to being seated at our table. The bartender was fun to chat with and very friendly. Our table had a perfect view and the meal was amazing. I cannot say enough about how kind and personable the wait staff was. The general manager even checked in and asked if we were enjoying our evening. There was entertainment which was a wonderful add to the overall experience. I was very pleased with my choice. We will definitely be back!

    We had a drink at the bar because we ended up being early. Merlvin,the bartender ended up being our server too. He remembered our names. We saw Patrick, who was working a private party upstairs and he remembered our names from the very first time we met him. I had the sea bass which is always super! My husband had the scallops & shrimp. He was happy with his dinner too. The soup that night was clam chowder. I ordered that because I needed some comfort food. It was great. I am glad I ordered it. I had a long day. My husband had a salad (I can’t remember which one, but he loved it.) It was very busy that night so we decided to have our after dinner drinks at the bar so someone else could enjoy their dinner at our table. The espresso martini was so good!! I have to take the time and mention that the entire staff wearing their black clothes, and their hair very well maintained is refreshing. The Winery is like a great example for people who want to eat at a restaurant that is very clean and is run, like a well oiled yet personalized machine! Make reservations because it is always busy.

    Music too loud for fine dining, more like a bar. King Fish House's salmon is better all around for the same meal with sides included. No bake potato on the menu, $16 for fancy named french fries. Our lamb was $50 and $16 extra for hard stringy asparagus. No complementary anything, even bread and butter! Server was good, had to ask for a couple of things. I love fine dining, don't mind the cost if the experience/food is fantastic! Nice view of the Newport Bay, ambiance of restaurant was great but I feel that's the cost of the Winery. Been there, won't recommend or return.

    I would not recommend for special events such as Easter brunch. Value and service is not worth it. The food was not the best with limited choices and then not prepared well and overpriced. However, we have come here on other occasions and that is much better.

    We have never been to this restaurant before. The view is very nice but from my husband’s side of the table his view was blocked by a pole. It is very loud in there plus the guitarist was playing so it was doubly loud. The food was pretty good, I had the duck, but I felt it was a little undercooked. My husband said his fillet was excellent. The sides of asparagus and potatoes were good and the house salad was very good. We enjoyed the dessert sticky toffee pudding the best! We were there for about 2 1/2 hours which we thought was a bit long. There was a long time for the waiter to take our entrée order. We were almost done with our salads when he asked what we wanted for our entrées, which was a little bit unusual. I think the ambience would be better if it was quieter but it’s hard to control that. The price was very expensive but that’s kind of expected in Newport Beach.

    What a wonderful dining experience we had at the winery last night. As an example of their outstanding customer service I had requested a choir table when I made the OpenTable reservation. I got a call that afternoon saying that they have a live band on Friday night they just want me to know since I had made that request. We chatted about it and they said that they could do their very best to get us a table as far away from the band as possible, so we could enjoy conversing with friends. When we arrived, we were seated at the perfect table set really made it much easier to enjoy a conversation. We were served by an outstanding server, Madison, who did everything she could to make it a special evening. It goes without saying that the food was just perfect. Overall a great evening, and definitely one that we shall return too often.

    We have always loved the winery and go for special occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries. The setting is lovely, the food is always so so good, and the service has always been above and beyond any other restaurant. This time was a totally different experience. We were celebrating our anniversary, and went early (5:30) on a Thursday night, instead of on the weekend like we normally do. Hostess got us seated right away, in our station of the restaurant there was only a lady alone having a cocktail, a couple in another booth, and a man also alone at a table. Our waitress came and took our drink order, i ordered a glass of Prosecco and my husband ordered a cocktail. My prosecco was not cold, it seemed like the temperature champagne is stored at in a wine fridge, but it had not been chilled to drink. I put an ice cube in it. We finished our drinks and wanted to order some wine, and our waitress was mia. It was so weird that she was gone, and it was not busy yet. After sitting there for another 10 minutes with empty glasses, we were about to walk up to the bar to order when she finally showed up again. The servers here have always been amazing, they’ve always been attentive and back at our table before anything ran out. The level of service we recently received was what you find at most restaurants, but not at all like what has been normal for this restaurant. Someone dining there for the first time may feel everything is fine since they don’t have a reference point of what it used to be like. The setting is still beautiful and the food is still very good. For us, we will be moving on to find a special place to celebrate our family events.

    I have eaten here many times. The food quality, while good, does not justify $62 for 6 ounces of Halibut. Then charge $7 for bread and not telling you is an insult. I doubt I would ever go back. The place was empty at 8 on a Friday night and I know why.

    It is always a treat to eat at a restaurant with a real chef. If you’re bringing a small group, I recommend the seafood tower for fun and tasters for everyone. Everything we ordered was absolutely the best! Sommelier is available to help with wine selection, if desired. Impressive global selection of wines; most range from $100-300 per bottle. The wait staff is first class. They will treat your party like you are the only people there. Listen carefully for the specials that the chef has created. We were delighted with the grilled lobster and asparagus and the venison with risotto. Everything cooked perfectly and so tasty. Valet parking makes it easy. Location off PCH just south of Newport Blvd makes this convenient to get there.
