“This place is quite nice. It can accommodate more diners than one might initially think. In addition, they have outdoor heaters for those who like to dine outdoors. The food here is very tasty, the portions are ample, and it's not too expensive.”

“This is one of my most favorite local restaurants - the food is delicious everytime, great atmosphere and the owner and son are so friendly and welcoming. Love ❤️ it here!”
“We had high hopes coming to Olea, but alas we were disappointed. Location/Ambiance: Westcliff Plaza and small with a large bar at the front, the layout leaves little space for tables. We sat in a snug booth alongside the windows with a view of Susie Cakes next door. The decor is warm and modern. Food: Subpar! Burnt bread but delicious whipped butter. Butter lettuce and Goat cheese salad was bland with a basic dressing. Mac and cheese skillet was good but nothing amazing. Filet was dry with overdone gluey mashed potatoes, and underdone broccolini. Halibut was pan seared to a dry mess with an inedible coating, bland steamed seasonal vegetables of cauliflower, carrots, and broccoli as a side. Service: Friendly and Fake, if you enjoy watching servers walk away from your table talking about how "picky and difficult you are" this is a perfect spot. My Mother has dietary restrictions and we are specific to ensure a safe dining experience, it's sad when that's met with disdain. Overall: We won't be back!”

“Cute lil spot with outdoor seating. Food looked great that was rolling out while we waited in queue to our order and get a table. Eggs, omelettes, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, sides, and pancakes. Has a lunch menu too if that's your thing but breakfast goes till 2pm. Highly recommend a visit. We'll be going back to say hi to Billy and try more items off the menu.”
“My friends and I all ordered online, separately, and all of our items were done at the same time, in a very timely fashion! Everything was absolutely delicious, and portions are great too. Our favorites were: pork ramen, potstickers, mushroom tenders, and chicken (I can’t remember the exact flavor, but they were spicy and delicious). Definitely need to come back!”
“A community gem filled with joy and energy, bringing together a multitude of happy people to share weekly anecdotes and laughter.Along the way, you'll feel the rich warmth and aroma of coffee and warm greetings from our expertly skilled staff.Order a cup of Neapolitan coffee and make new friends, even if it's just for casual conversation.That's the beauty of small-town American communities.”
“We order here frequently. Beef vermicelli, chicken pho, and thai wings are our favorites. Their boba is good too. All of the staff are wonderful and the service is amazing.”
“Comfortable temperature and beautiful environment, I like it very much.”
Outdoor Dining
“Went on a lazy Sunday morning. No wait. Got a table easy. We sat outside facing the parking lot (not the best view but I'll take it). Got a smash burger for myself and Italian sandwich for my partner with a side of fries. Felt like many locals come back here. Had a very friendly person who helped us at the counter. Everything tasted perfect. Very happy with the experience. Would go back.”

“Excellent food and wonderful service! My wife and I popped in here after a long bike ride, and we weren't disappointed. We shared the supreme breakfast burrito with venison and the waffles with fruit. The burrito was so good, the meat was cooked to perfection and the combination with the eggs and potatoes made it wonderful. And the waffles, oh my! We will definitely be back for more of this delicious food. Oh, and the service was incredible, everyone is so friendly and attentive. A+++”
“Wonderful family owned place! The most authentic Italian restaurant outside of Italy. At Il Farro food is prepared with attention and real LOVE. Everything from the appetizers to dessert were perfect. Every dish is made with true italian fresh and natural ingredients and is made by traditional recipes. The talented chef M. makes pastas and pizzas daily and they taste amazing. Also the house wine is a good selection. I suggest you to have their own valuable wine. Il Farro has a great management and staff too. We loved interacting with customers and guys who work in, they became like family for us. The qualified employees are friendly helpful and the restaurant is always clean. They do have enough seats and limited outdoor seating, but get a reservation in advance to make sure you have a place.Hands off, this is the best place to gather with friends or family! It has our ❤️s. We loved it.”

“Outstanding food and service. On list of top place to return to. Bar service impressive - great old fashioned and gin and chartreuse martini. Scallop dish super memorable and came with fantastic wine rec. Our server was amazing - attentive, engaging, and made everything memorable.”
“If you're looking for awesome seafood with a killer view, Bluewater Grill Newport Beach is where it's at. The scene: 🌅 Imagine enjoying your meal while gazing at fancy yachts and the Newport dock. Pretty sweet, right? The grub: 🦀🐟 • Crab cakes: So good, it's mostly jumbo lump crab meat, no fillers • Mahi Mahi: Cooked to perfection, moist and flaky on the inside, crispy on the outside • Scallops: Melt-in-your-mouth delicious with a perfect sear Everything came out hot and tasting amazing. No sad, cold fish here! Drinks: 🍹 The red sangria hit the spot. Perfect for sipping and yacht-watching. Vibes: 😊 Everyone working there seemed genuinely happy. Like, actual smiles, not the fake "I hate my job" kind. Made us feel right at home. Bottom line: Great food, awesome views, cool staff. We're definitely coming back for round two! #NomNom #ViewsForDays #HappyBelly”
“Eating here was such a wonderful experience, it truly felt like spending a few hours in Italy. The staff felt like family, they were very personable and knew the food quite well. Guido and Randy served us and did a wonderful job. The food was also phenomenal—appetizers, entrees, and desserts.”
“P.F. Chang’s never disappoints! As usual, we had a great experience from start to finish. The food was delicious, the portions were perfect and generous, and everything was served fresh and well presented.
The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. The atmosphere is always enjoyable and consistent, making it a reliable choice whether you’re going for lunch or dinner.
Another very satisfying visit to P.F. Chang’s. Great food, excellent portions, and wonderful service. Definitely a place I’m always happy to come back to!”
“Bayside Restaurant in Newport Beach is a gem, especially for its live music every night. The atmosphere is so captivating that I often find myself singing along or even getting up to dance. The food and service are just as exceptional: my go-to dishes are the scallops, the lamb, and all the steaks. The seafood is so fresh and the steaks are far superior in flavor to any high-end restaurant. For appetizers, the ahi tuna tartare is a must-try (THE BEST I’ve had anywhere), and the calamari with its Thai-style twist of chilies, green onion, and cilantro over an amazing salad is a standout. Desserts? Absolutely heavenly. The cheesecake and panna cotta are favorites, but the Grand Marnier souffle is simply to die for. The service is also impeccable…from the moment you arrive with the complimentary valet service, to the hostesses, the bartenders, servers, and bussers. Everyone is so friendly and attentive! Bayside is an experience I cherish every time. Can’t wait for my next visit!”

“What a wonderful little place! There are plenty of items on the menu to choose from, as well as gluten-free alternatives. We had shrimp and mashed potatoes; both were excellent! Service was very good while dining al fresco.”

“Love our first time here this morning. Better croissants than we had in France and we thought they were good! Outstanding quality and you can tell everything is made with 100% pride, care, compassion and love. Will definitely go back more than once! Goodbye diet!😆❤️❤️👌🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Dining at Kulfime was more than a meal, it felt like a warm hug. The cozy atmosphere and kind, welcoming made me feel right at home. Every dish was crafted with care, bursting with authentic flavors that instantly comforted my soul. The portions were generous, the prices fair, and the experience unforgettable. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian food or new to it, this is the kind of place that leaves you smiling long after you’ve left. I can’t wait to return and relive the magic!!”
“If you are around the Newport Beach and Lido Isle area, this place is an absolute must-visit. Extremely delicious and ultra-fresh seafood!
We tried their tacos and poke burritos, and the quality was top-notch. The atmosphere is very modern and beachy, and sitting outside on their patio by the water is just perfect. It can get pretty busy during peak lunch hours, but it is 100% worth the wait. Highly recommend if you want amazing seafood in a great location!”
“There is a God!! I have been away for years working in North Dakota praying for a shrimp burrito. I was in Balboa over weekend and got my Shrimp fix. So darn good! The best shrimp soze and taste anywhere. They have not changed anything during this bad inflation. Miss the salsa bar but they gave us plenty. Most great places come and eventually go but GM is still.#1. Thank you Peter and staff!!.”
“Wow wow and wow !! If u want to feel loved all you have to do is order a pizza from here !! I have never been so impressed by a pizza place ! It’s not just pizza their menu is out of control amazing !! The owners did a great job with the staff and kept true to their beliefs .. LOVE!! We all share one thing in common we just want to be loved .. I give so many kudos to this place and I really hope during this really bad time that we share love and pizza .. I had a friend send me a pizza gram and I can’t express how it made me feel Thanks SGT for thinking of such a creative way to make us all feel great ! I challenge u all to send a pizza to someone who is hurting ..someone you love .... someone you miss ... someone’s who is hungry .. or just to your own neighbor .. this made my day ! Can’t wait to send someone a love pizza tomorrow”
“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!”

“If in Newport Beach. This is your pizza spot. Don’t be like me and enter through the door. I didn’t know it’s window only pickup. They were very nice. Pizza rocked. I’ve been all around the country and hands down. This might be my new favorite. Wish they would deliver 1800 miles away. Definitely get a pie from this place.”
“This was such a cute little cozy coffee place with cute decor where they have a lot of indoor seating (if you walk towards the back) as well as outdoors. Good place to catch up or study.
Got the Breakfast Burrito, Blueberry Pancakes, and Pistachio Latte (hot). The burrito was delicious and the pancakes were super fluffy and sweet. Really liked the pistachio latte - you can taste the nuttiness of the pistachio. Would definitely want to go back to try other items on the menu.
Service was fairly fast and the staff were kind and attended to what we needed. Parking may be slightly difficult.”
“okay so truthfully i’ve never actually step
foot inside this establishment, BUT, i have ordered food off their app and gotten it delivered like honestly 15 times in the last 2-3 months. i live in grad housing at UCI and order food from here often when i have a late workday. there’s not been one delivery where i have not gotten exactly what i ordered. sometimes they even hook it up with an extra salsa or two for my tortilla chips. i order the double chicken bowl and 10/10 times that bowl slaps. always hits the spot. food is great quality, chicken is always spot on, never dry. great food portions that make other places look like they need to step up their game. lowkey may never physically visit this place but will mostly mobile order from here over other food places. gg staff. also highly recc the app if you don’t have it.”
Fine Dining
“Great omakase experience, indulged in the various kind of sushi with fish fresh from Japan. The appetizer was like a vintage painting combined by surprising ingredients. The interaction with our chef was priceless and he was both professional and funny. Will come again for sure. Only downside was to look for parking nearby as they don't have parking provided.”
“Absolutely stunning atmosphere our server Aubree’s customer service was outstanding! Thank you so much you were very knowledgeable , and kind. All of our food came out outstanding except my Ribeye it was served below par and charred it also tasted burnt I don’t think I’ll take another chance on a ribeye here due to the boiler situation it’s left in too long cause the entire steak to be a waste. The seafood was absolutely delicious though I would stick with seafood if I were to recommend anything. Great dine must try just don’t get steak!”
“I bet you really enjoyed your meal. I know you enjoyed your friends you were with and the company of your beautiful Honey. She is so special to have at your side. I Love you my Brother and miss you every day. Someday we will spend a great time again. Much love. Big Bob Peterson. There is only one.”

Cheap Eats
“TK Burgers is a Newport Beach institution and one of the best places to grab a burger after a day at the beach. The burgers are fresh, juicy, and cooked over an open flame with that classic charbroiled flavor. The fries are crispy, the TK sauce is a must, and the portions are generous for the price.
It’s nothing fancy, just great food served fast with an authentic beach-town vibe. If you’re in Newport Beach and craving a classic California burger, TK Burgers is a place you’ll keep coming back to.”
“Woohoo! This was an AWESOME meal! Service was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! Our entire table only ate pizza or chicken pot pie! Everyone finished their plates!!! Yum! we did manage to squeeze in dessert and it was worth it!!! 10/10 will be back again. Shout-out to our amazing server Kaitlyn!!! 🤓♥️🥊🔥👊🏼🎉🐐🎄🎁I”

“I had a fantastic experience at Mimi's Garden; I highly recommend the orange chicken and the truffle bao (black baozi).
If you're craving chinese food in the Newport beach area, definitely give this place a shot.”
“Beautiful quiet place with a Harborview. Very chill kind of a place! Server was great, food was great. First time there, came down with guest from out of town., will definitely come back again. The seafood paella was delicious.”
“Had not been since the remodel. Just had lunch there. Very expensive. Crab was $79.95. The appetizer crab, 1 leg, and very delicious was $57.95. Tasty, great service, paper and plastic, $$$$$.”
“Fabulous dinner and ambiance plus the he most delicious Rocklet!!!”

“One of the best real EDOMAE sushi in area. I was used to be sushi chef.”
“Very nice outdoor seating, great food, music. Nice place and close your o the surrounding neighborhoods!”
“I haven’t visited Mutt Lynch’s since the mid 90’s. I spent many days / nights shooting pool , listening to the Jukebox and drinking cold beers. It was so great to visit this month and meet great people and relive great memories. Thanks to Ross & Sara (h)and Victor for your kindness and helping me to feel at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to make memories and have a Great Time. I’ll be Back.”

“Enjoyed the food. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed him so much. Thank you Ryan for being so kind”
“They have great food and a fantastic venue to listen to quality musicians! I was there last night with my husband. We got to hear Kenny Metcalf perform Elton John’s Deep Cuts. It was SO good! Kenny Metcalf performed songs I have only heard on Elton John’s albums. I’m so delighted I got to see this particular show!! WOW! It was off the charts musically and Kenny is such a talented singer and musician. When I closed my eyes I thought Elton was singing. The band was amazing too. That guitar player that I don’t remember his name, played a few solo guitar riffs that had everyone in the room clapping. The sold out venue was electric with the sound of Elton John’s deep cuts that I would never have heard live. So amazingly well done!!!! I left with a big smile on my face. I’m going to tell all my friends about Campus Jax….”

“Always, I love to be there, everything is perfect, the food, the employees…..💜”
“Valet parking is fine, but the beach traffic was horrible...the route to the restaurant traverses a city parking lot, which was completely full, with numerous vehicles waiting to park. It took longer to get through that lot than to travel PCH....”
“Visited Monday night, knowing it would be fairly quiet. Bartender Sandy greeted us and was attentive to us all evening. We had the best calamari ever and enjoyed everything we ordered. Please come visit us CIYC.”
“If you're looking for a true Newport Beach classic, Cassidy's Bar & Grill is one of those places that absolutely deserves a visit. Whether you're stopping in after a day at the beach, bar hopping through the Peninsula, or just looking for a place with great people and cold beer, Cassidy's delivers every single time.
One of the first things you'll notice is how professional and hardworking the security staff is. Tai, Will, Troy, and Saed do an incredible job keeping the place safe and making sure everyone has a good time. They're respectful, approachable, and always on top of things, but here's a friendly piece of advice... don't screw with them. They're there to keep the atmosphere fun for everyone, and they do that job exceptionally well.
The bartenders are just as awesome. Both Dereks and Brian have always treated me like family. They're fast, friendly, know how to keep the drinks flowing, and somehow remember faces even after a packed weekend. Great bartenders can make or break a neighborhood bar, and these guys are a huge reason Cassidy's has built such a loyal following over the years.
And let's talk about the food.
The burgers are seriously underrated. They're exactly what you'd hope for after a few beers, fresh, juicy, cooked right, and absolutely hit the spot. Whether you're grabbing lunch or trying to recover from a long night out, you won't leave disappointed. Voted best in all of Orange County multiple times, dont forget the sauce!
What really makes Cassidy's special, though, is the atmosphere. It's one of those rare bars where locals, visitors, regulars, and first timers all seem to fit right in. The conversations come easy, the staff makes you feel welcome, and every visit has the potential to become another great story.
As the founder of Beerslut, I can honestly say places like Cassidy's have inspired a lot of our blog stories and even some of our clothing designs just like Beachball & Baja Sharkies. It's a genuine neighborhood bar with personality, history, and the kind of authentic Newport Beach character that's becoming harder to find.
Its honestly my absolute favorite for a plethora of reasons.
If you're in Newport Beach and want to experience a real local institution dive bar instead of just another trendy spot, put Cassidy's Bar & Grill at the top of your list.”
“Was looking for Italian in the area and we were delighted to find many vegan items on the menu. Ravioli, salad, and pizza with a vegan pesto and vegan cheese on fantastic crust. A real treat. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-16”
“Such a wonderful experience, food was perfect service was exceptional. Price was very reasonable. We went to celebrate our birthday and they brought out a small desert for us! So lovely ! I would def come back again and again!”
“Great time! Bartender Trish and Security Chemo make it a great time. I’d be back just for them 😜”
“Excellent food and service. The owner was very attentive to us Omg the desert was out of this world”
“I won't get tired of thanking Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael for what he did for me, you take people's problem as your problem, thank you for making much money for me. If others would learn from you then this world would be a better place. Please if you want a genuine account manager who can genuinely trade for you and make lots of money for you then contact Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael”
“Amazing experience. Prime rib was tender. Sides were great. Drinks were delicious and refreshing. 5 stars. Will definitely be adding to my favorites.”
“Absolutely incredible sushi spot. Its a pretty small place, only a handful of tables, but it was quiet when I was there on a sunday evening.
The staff was attentive and kind, and had good recommendations. The food was amazing, and one of the chefs even came out to ask if we had any questions when we looked like we needed help!
I will absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.”
“This place was great. My kids loved it. My wife loved it everyone. The location wasn’t the best for visibility, but the staff remembered us every time we visit and always overdid it. I hope they open up another location soon locally.”
“Very good food! Particularly liked the prosciutto wrapped scallops on a bed of arugula drizzled with balsamic reduction! 😃”
“Outstanding food and service. On list of top place to return to. Bar service impressive - great old fashioned and gin and chartreuse martini. Scallop dish super memorable and came with fantastic wine rec. Our server was amazing - attentive, engaging, and made everything memorable.”
“Great find for our large group. They were great about splitting the checks, drinks were excellent, maybe a little strong! Food, Adults and Kids all happy. Nice outdoor patio with some heaters as the nites can be a little on the cool side. Plenty of Seating inside too.”
“Came in on may 2nd at 7:pm and was met by such a nice and accommodating staff. They made great recommendations and we enjoyed all of them. Anyone visiting Newport must try! The freshest fish I’ve ever had! I’d have taken a picture of the food but I ate it as soon as I saw it 😂”
“My first time here and the chicken sandwich was amazing! Our server Jake was great and very attentive! We will definitely be back! Cool place to hang out with some good food and a beer !”
“I love this place! We have been coming here for over 4 years! It’s the best sushi in town! We love the chefs and especially Grace !”
“Food was fantastic! Had the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and it was amazing. The lobster bisque was very good too!! Service was also great.”
“This is the find of the decade! Virtually hidden on a tiny street adjacent to the Coast Highway, the eclectic, artistic interior is as welcoming as the attentive and super friendly staff. Indoor and outdoor dining options, comfy furniture, a hip buzzy adjacent bar lets you know immediately you are in for a uniquely Newport Beach experience that you won’t want to leave. But all of this is nothing compared to the cuisine. The wide variety of ostensibly Middle Eastern menu items are comprehensive to meet virtually any dietary needs from vegan to Ketovore, but the competency across the board is astounding!! Lentil soup, yellow veggie curry, kabob, steak Diane - everything shines on its own merit. I planned to have one of the divine sounding desserts but alas, the portions were so generous that we had to take a rain check. Here’s hoping for a downpour!”
“Amazing food and atmosphere. The food is surprisingly delicious and very reasonably priced. Vicky is a helpful sweetheart! Try the new onion pancakes and sesame balls.😊”
“We enjoyed a delightful and delicious meal there and were treated so kindly, that we felt almost like we were visiting friends. Would highly recommend this place!”
“I came here a couple days ago with my daughter because her and her been raving about it recently. So she took me out for lunch and we got such a nice meal together. The music inside was enjoyable and the our food was delicious and came so fast. I would like to say the girl Hedi was so helpful and was so kind. Thank you swagyu burger!!”
“The food and service is constantly very good. The environment is casual and the noise level is low so I can enjoy conversations with my friends. I eat at bazille quite often for all of those reasons.”
“Alexis was awesome! He was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we walked in. He took the time to answer all of our questions, made great recommendations, and made us feel really welcome. You can tell he truly cares about providing great customer service. Thanks for making our visit such a positive experience, Alexis. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Lobby Bar at Hyatt Regency Newport Beach is an easy, low-key spot to grab a drink without dealing with the usual chaos. The setup is clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to sit and actually have a conversation. Drinks are solid, nothing overcomplicated, and the service is steady without hovering. It’s not trying to be a scene, which is exactly why it works. Simple place to meet up, unwind, and keep things easy.”
“Great ambiance! Very friendly staff that was very accommodating to my kids. Best part was the delicious food! We will definitely be back. 😊”
“We love this hotel. Great bar, good food and attentive staff. Super location close to south coast plaza!”
“Every time I come to Cali for vacation I must visit the JUICE BAR at Whole Foods for my morning fix of greens. I love this location. I never come to Orange County without visiting this particular location for my morning fix of greens. This is one of my favorite Whole Foods for their JUICE BAR. Awesome!!!”
“Dinner at the Alley for my birthday. Got the Steak Diane , cooked perfectly and Brandy sauce was amazing. My partner got the Cajun Chicken pasta, which looked amazing and tasted really good. Waitress was great with refilling drinks and checking in with our table. The only thing I didnt like is the noise level is loud bc there's a bar next to the restaurant dining tables, which you had to talk louder to hear other people talking. Other than that , would definitely come back as I want to try their other dishes.”
“The topside roof deck bar is amazing. The marks are great bartenders and were very attentive. It’s a lot of fun to hang out and have drinks and food. Was one of the highlights of our trip. Could not recommend more!”
“I still don't understand how a white man could open such a healthy and delicious Chinese restaurant! The flavours are so good, his dumplings are made of chicken, and although they are very delicately made, it's hard to tell they are made of chicken. The service is always warm and attentive, reflecting the excellent culture of the staff at this restaurant.”
“Buddhas Favorite is the best resturant in Newport Beach hands down. The owner, Nicole is incredibly helpful! She helped us organize a party for my mom's birthday - eveything was done to perfection. I highly recommend.”
“Absolutely the best meal we had in Newport Beach. The entree specials were incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection! Alfred was of course an amazing host!!! Trust him he will not steer you wrong.”

“Never disappoints! Food is amazing! Always come here for special occasions and holidays. Every server and front desk are so nice and caring. They get the orders right even when it's so loud in there. Please is so clean and put together. Roberto is a great chef and Sheila was a nice server and did great job getting our food orders. Would definitely recommend coming! All locations are amazing but we like the Newport location.”
“If you’re looking for the perfect spot in Newport Beach, Javier’s at Crystal Cove is a must! 🌮🍹 The food is absolutely delicious – authentic Mexican flavors with fresh seafood and so many great options to choose from. The atmosphere is vibrant yet elegant, with stunning ocean views 🌊 that make every visit feel special. Having lived in this area for a few years, I can honestly say it’s one of the most beautiful places around – the kind of spot that makes you fall in love with Newport Beach all over again. ✨”

“Came in for a quick coffee before heading to work and ended up staying longer than planned. The place has a nice relaxed vibe and the staff were friendly without being over the top. I ordered an iced latte and it was really smooth, not too sweet and tasted fresh. There were a few people working on laptops and others just chatting, so it felt comfortable for pretty much anyone. Service was a little slower than expected, but nothing too bad. Overall, a good neighborhood coffee shop that I'd happily visit again when I'm in the area.”
“I came here a couple days ago with my daughter because her and her been raving about it recently. So she took me out for lunch and we got such a nice meal together. The music inside was enjoyable and the our food was delicious and came so fast. I would like to say the girl Hedi was so helpful and was so kind. Thank you swagyu burger!!”
“Made dinner reservations for my 50th birthday, but something came up last minute so we decided to drop by during lunch time the next day without reservations. Fortunately, they were able to get us seated immediately outdoors next to the water fountain. The restaurant was gorgeous and ambiance was beautiful. The view was amazing, food was spectacular, and the service was great. It was perfection and I would definitely come back. Highly recommend!”
