new Greek restaurant in Newport with a beautiful and elegant atmosphere. The decor is stylish, and the location gives it a special vibe. We tried several dishes, and everything we ordered was delicious (sharing photos of our favorites).

Nēsos Newport Beach is a new Greek restaurant that offers a beautiful and elegant atmosphere with stylish decor and a cozy, relaxed vibe. The restaurant features several dining areas, including a bar, outdoor patio, and an intimate living room space, creating a versatile setting for different occasions. From the moment guests walk in, they are greeted with warm hospitality that reflects Greek tradition and the idea of philoxenia, making visitors feel like family.
The menu at Nēsos emphasizes rustic Greek cooking and family traditions. Dishes such as Greek salad, saganaki, and grilled octopus showcase fresh and flavorful ingredients. Notable highlights include the Greek salad, which is fresh but slightly oily, and the grilled octopus, appreciated for its texture and flavor, with some wishing for a bit more char. The Marouli salad, featuring chopped greens, radicchio, toasted pine nuts, olives, and feta dressing, is bright and crisp. The Lavraki, a Greek sea bass, is a star dish—fresh, delicate, and simply prepared to highlight its quality. Paired with Rizi, a wild rice blend with feta, raisins, almonds, and dill, it creates a hearty yet elegant meal. Desserts like Galactobouriko, warm Greek custard with a crisp pastry top served with ice cream, add a sweet finale.
Service at Nēsos is generally attentive and friendly, with standout servers who make the dining experience special. However, some reviews note that wait times can be long and parking is limited to valet, which may require planning ahead. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality, ambiance, and genuine hospitality make Nēsos a worthwhile visit for those seeking authentic Greek cuisine in Newport Beach. Overall, it’s a refined and soulful place that feels both special and welcoming.
