Disappointed. Food was overcooked and no flavor. Presentation was good but no taste. Staff very nice. Maybe a new chef or a new menu would be nice.

My fiancé and I came to celebrate our last anniversary before our wedding and our experience exceeded our expectations. It was our first time visiting, but the attention to detail - including a celebratory glass of prosecco, custom menus, and a special dessert - made for the most memorable night. Not to mention how delicious the food was and how amazing the service was. The photo booth was such a fun way to end the night. We will definitely be returning!!

My first time at this location- the former pizza place in the Crystal Cove shopping center. I prefer the other location, but fun was had by all. The food and service was excellent- I found the television distracting during dinner, but the baseball game was on. The home made madeleines were incredible! Super fun vibe & open late.

A Crystal Cove gets everything right. The atmosphere is sexy, hostesses and servers are friendly and accommodating, cocktails are well balanced (not too sweet), appetizers, entrees, and desserts are all delicious

We went to A Crystal Cove for dinner after a graduation party, and it was the perfect way to celebrate: elegant, effortless, the hit place. The views of the Pacific at sunset were stunning, and the whole experience felt like something out of a movie.
From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, attentive service, a relaxed but upscale vibe, and food that genuinely impressed. We had a feast: Brussels sprouts, filet mignon, purée, and the Ahi for me… and it was perfect. Let’s not forget the Oreo chocolate desert ! 😋The cocktails were just as thoughtful, balanced, fresh, and beautifully presented.
Located right off Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Coast, A Crystal Cove captures the essence of coastal luxury without ever feeling stuffy.
As a local realtor based in Huntington Beach, I love introducing my clients to spots like this where the food is incredible, the view is unforgettable, and the experience feels like a taste of the lifestyle they’re moving here for.
Whether it’s a special occasion or just a Tuesday night, this place is worth the reservation.

A Crystal Above is just flat-out outstanding. The food is always fresh, packed with flavor, and clearly made with love. The service is spot-on — friendly, fast, and genuine. And the vibe? Exactly what you want — welcoming, comfortable, with great energy.
In a world where too many places treat you like just another customer, this spot actually cares. You can feel it from the second you walk in until the second you leave. I’ve been here a bunch of times and it’s been excellent every single visit. Just wanted to say thanks — you guys really get it right.
All around amazing service, food and atmosphere. Great for happy hour business meetings or dates
