Restaurants in Newport Beach

“Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.”

“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.”

“This is our favorite place for dinner, cocktails and brunch! We love a date night there but it’s also great for kids too. The food, the cocktails, the atmosphere, the service, etc… I can’t say enough about how wonderful it is!”

“It is the best açaí in OC.😉💪🏿💪🏾💪🏻”

“The food was amazing!!! Simply fantastic. Well done @mommaDa”

“Fabulous food and cool interior”

“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.”

“Best Tacos in Town! Love this place for tacos and burritos!”

“Comfortable temperature and beautiful environment, I like it very much.”

“Peter is amazing! He is such an attentive waiter and made sure we had an excellent dinner. Highlight of our trip! ☀️”

“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.”

“Great service, authentic Italian food”

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food”

“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!”

“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.”

“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!”

“Really delicious food. I enjoyed it a lot.”

“Every time I come here I get the 2nd best cup of Coffee ever !!!!! To legit to quit, keep up the great work Jason, Kyle, and Tianna!”

“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!”

“From the greeting at the front desk to the waiter, Dean, to the numerous courteous and helpful busboys; the service was top notch. Crab cakes as appetizers, main courses of house chicken and flank steak. It was a wonderful experience.”

“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+++”

“Omg the food. 1st time in and I’ll definitely be back. Loved the outdoor seating option.”

“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.”

“Great restaurant, A1 service, friendly staff, great ambiance, food and drinks”

“Great service, authentic Italian food”

“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.”

“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.”

“Service and breakfast was excellent”

“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.”

“Food is great and staff is fabulous!!!”

“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”

“A weekly staple for my husband! He can't get enough of the sea bass and mushroom risotto. Special thanks to Ines for always providing a warm, VIP welcome. Exceptional food and service through and through—highly recommend!”

“Great spot to eat. Hidden gem.”

“Great food! Nice people !”

“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.”

“Amazing BBQ in Orange County. Fall off the bone ribs, tender brisket, moist BBQ chicken, pulled pork, juicy sausages. A real hidden gem. Highly recommended!”

“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!”

“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.”

“The food & service were great”

“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!!”

“Probably the best strawberry matcha I have ever had. The coffee is alright. Pretty big seating selection indoor and outdoor but normally crowded. They have cute pottery and speciality cards selection as well.”

“A hidden gem in the shadow of the gigantic Hoag hospital. Good food, good portions, good value.
Don't order the white rice if you can get the lentil raisin!
Went with a group and we all clapped at the end!”

“Delicious healthy food. I highly recommend this restaurant”

“This was my first time at Jerry's and I already am excited to come back! The wildberry smoothie and tuna sandwich were great. Both tasted super fresh and were so affordable. Highly recommend to both locals and those coming through SNA”

“Love Vegan and Gluten Free Options. So happy here !”

“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!”

“Breakfast are delicious !!! Rosemary ham”

“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!!.”

“Love this iconic spot! A must when visiting Balboa Island!”

“Well worth the wait! GREAT sushi, service and quality.”

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.”

“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”

“We love this place, best view! ♥️”

“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.”

“Fantastic service and delicious wings and a salad.”

“I know this place is a fan favorite but it lives up to the hype. The flavors are so fun and yummy. The staff is great. And even though there is a line out the door, the wait isn’t too long.”

“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.”

“I love handles! It was my puppies first day at the beach 🏝 🐾 We got a Oreo milkshake and it was so gooooodddd. My puppy approved it! 🫣You definitely have to go try! The employees are so nice and have great customer service skills.”

“It was delicious. The vanilla Rosa 🌹 was great 👍🏽”

“Amazing food & service! Kirk if the Best❤️”

“The BBQ chicken pizza is delicious & great delivery service!”

“Tiny burrito joint with taco in the name, lol. Literally one of my top two burrito joints in the universe. If you are nearby, you are foolish if you don’t stop by and get a tasty meal.”

“Been a while but drove 20 miles up PCH to have a meal here after 7 years.”

“Fabulous dinner and ambiance plus the he most delicious Rocklet!!!”

“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.”

“Amazing atmosphere. Great service. Amazing people.”

“La amable atención. La comida deliciosa!”

“Delicious variety of cookies and so many milks to choose from. pure heaven”

“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!”

“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....”

“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.”

“Small place. Reservations recommended. Pricey but fish is fresh and delicious.”

“On the expensive side, but everything was delicious!”

“This is fabulous dining by the coast.”

“Love it for the great live music on Saturday nights. So Underrated for a great place to hear live bands!! Nice, friendly people”

“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”

“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. ✨”

“On the expensive side, but everything was delicious!”

“This coffee is unbelievable. The salty maple latte was one of the best lattes I’ve had in my entire life. So mad it’s all the way in Newport I’m having withdrawals!”

“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.”

“The best bbq in the OC...”

“The avacado toast is uhmazing! Great coffee and friendly service!”

“Previous members only club that is now open to the public. Beautiful Aesthetic, much calmer from the set side. Perfect place to meet up with girlfriends who wants to dress cute and not get too turnt up”

“The food is decent but hella over-priced. There's a reason you don't see their sandwiches in their marketing promotions, you're better off at Subway for that. $10 for a basic little sandwich with barely anything on it is crazy work.”

“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!!”

“Sergio’s the Manager has made a world of difference to this place! I am all about the quality of service and what he has done to improve this place is extraordinary! I am rarely impressed like this but wow!”

“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!”
