“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.”

“Found this restaurant while exploring the area and overall had a good experience. The menu offers a nice variety of options, and my favorite was the boneless chicken kabob with lentil rice, paired with the pomegranate limeade—both were flavorful and enjoyable. The food was prepared quickly and brought out promptly, which we appreciated. The service, however, felt a bit reserved and could have been warmer and more welcoming, particularly upon arrival. Overall, the food was the highlight, and I’d recommend stopping by if you’re in the area and looking for a flavorful meal with plenty of options.”

“We don’t post reviews very often, but really felt obliged to for here. The food is outstanding!!!! Service is wonderful. It was actually pretty quiet as its location is tucked out the way, but it deserves to have a queue around the corner!!!!! Top quality ingredients and great value for the quality. Very accommodating of our stroller and dog.”

“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!”

“My buddies and I do a “Bros Night” every couple of weeks, and we’re always looking for a new local spot to check out. This time we cruised over to Balboa Island in a friend’s golf cart from Corona del Mar, took advantage of the ridiculously convenient golf cart parking, and headed to Snipe Island. The restaurant has a great vibe. I love the open-air feel with the large windows and bar seating facing the street. It’s a fun place to sit, relax, people-watch, and enjoy everything that makes Balboa Island special. The food was good. I had an ahi salad that was fresh and tasty, and one of my friends ordered a pizza that looked incredible. I was doing keto that day, so unfortunately I didn’t get a slice, but if it tasted half as good as it looked, I’m ordering it next time. The real highlight of the night was our server, Taylor. Honestly, she was incredible. The place was busy, and it seemed like she was handling just about everything, but somehow she never missed a beat. We always had what we needed, our drinks stayed full, and she made us feel like we were her only table. Great service can make or break an experience, and Taylor absolutely crushed it. The prices felt fair, the atmosphere was fun, and overall we had a great evening. If I had one piece of constructive feedback, I’d say the restroom could use a little attention and maybe a refresh. But as someone who owns a business, I know there are always a hundred things competing for your attention. At the end of the day, I have a soft spot for local businesses that are out there working hard and serving the community. Snipe Island delivered a fun night with friends, great service, and a great Balboa Island atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.”

“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”

“Great experience overall, starting with drinks in the bar. Tony, the bartender, was very engaging and on top of everything. We had a great table with a wonderful view of the ocean, which enhanced our dining experience. Menu was very diverse, wine list was well priced with quality wineries, all our meals were outstanding and we even splurged for a few desserts (all were consumed quickly). I had not taken people to the restaurant in some time but definitely putting 21 back in the rotation!”

“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!”

They weren't really busy but there were a few demanding groups around us. We always enjoy our visits to 59th and Lux”

If you’re just looking for something simple or a light meal, this is a great place to choose. I noticed a lot of people ordering the tacos and hamburgers, so I’d like to try them next time. The service was good too!”

Service is good, can be slow at times but SHOR was very busy with guests. Food was okay. I ordered Jidori chicken that was a little dry and hubby ordered a cheeseburger. French fries were crispy/tasty. We shared cheesecake for dessert and it was fabulous, not too heavy but perfect in every way”
