“Great spot to eat. Hidden gem.“

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food“

“We had a great time at The Mayor’s Table Pacific Pub and Kitchen. Guy, our bartender, was amazing—super knowledgeable and clearly focused on making sure we were happy. His attention to detail really stood out, and he made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Best beef dip sandwich ever!!“

“Wow. Had some truly special food here. The Koobideh was juicy, and almost perfect. It was served with a little spicy aioli that brought the whole dish to another level. The babaghanoush had some lovely balsamic that elevated it elegantly and the Tzatziki had pickles instead of cucumbers and it was the best I’ve tasted. My wife had pita fries and they were genius and delicious. Do not leave without trying the saffron pistachio and/or pomegranate/chocolate ice cream. Service and ambiance were matched to the food, just right.“

“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.“

“our special place to celebrate excellent service Delicious“

“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!“

“Fabulous first time won’t be the last!“

“This was my first time at Mariposa. I met a group of friends for lunch and we all loved it. From the start, we were pleasantly surprised with an excellent fresh popover with strawberry butter on the side and a small but delicious serving of warm chicken broth. The lunch menu was varied and reasonably priced. I had the chicken parmigiana with cucumber salad which was delicious. Others tried the cheese burger, fish tacos, chicken chili, etc. All raved about the food. The service was impeccable and we left with great memories.“

“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“

“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!“

“We went for our anniversary and got there in time to see the beautiful sunset from the bar! Great cocktails and the food was amazing! We had the pork chop and the sea bass and we loved them both. Our waiter Roberto so friendly and professional.“

“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.“

“Very nice outdoor seating, great food, music. Nice place and close your o the surrounding neighborhoods!“

“We love this hotel. Great bar, good food and attentive staff. Super location close to south coast plaza!“

“I used to work at Nordstrom and back then it was “Blue Stove” and they only served little tapas. They have carried over some of the same recipes now that it’s Bazille. This place is always good and the food is consistent. They are know for their cilantro lime salad which my mom got. I got the mandarin chicken salad which was light and refreshing. I also highly recommend the tacos ! We will be back for sure! A nice place to stop for a drink when shopping too.“

“My mom and I dined here for years. Now I take my daughter to lunch at 59th and Lex . The wraps and salads are outstanding. The atmosphere is always amazing. Service is top notch. For ladies who lunch or men too for that matter, you will not be disappointed as it's always an enjoyable experience.“

“I greatly enjoyed coming down and having breakfast daily during my stay.I elected to do the buffet which is $30 a day if you’re non-Globalist.Now for a wide variety of different options, depending on the day. Consistently there is eggs, bacon, pork sausage, chicken, sausage, fruit, bread, bagels, and many items.“

“Excellent service, tasty food and good price“

“This is fabulous dining by the coast.“

“Nice restaurant and has tiny beach“

“I've only been there twice recently for movies and I love that you can order online. It's never crowded. The matinee price is really good. The sound is good and the chairs are comfortable and the atmosphere is super clean.“

“From checking in to getting the check, my dining experience was nothing short of amazing. The hostess was warm and welcoming, my server Joe was very friendly and attentive, and every worker, including the manager on duty, worked seamlessly to create a dining experience that I am still raving about to family and friends. The food was perfect, from presentation to taste. I ordered the branzino, which was cooked to perfection.“

“good customer service, Lilly was great with explaining their vegan options“

“I ❤️❤️❤️this place. It is so grand and elegant!“
