Newport Beach Whaler

Every time I go there it's always amazing. The food is delicious and is a step above your typical order. For example, I ordered the lobster mac and cheese, and instead of your typical Mac and cheese with a little bit of lobster on it, it was brought out with shell macaroni, top with grated cheese, bread crumbs, and chives with big chucks of lobster meat. The service has always been friendly when I go, and the atmosphere is fancy but comfortable at the same time. I love going to this place and will continue to return!

Love this place! Everything is great. The food, service and vibe. Our bar tender Ryan was perfect and too great care of us. They had a dj and the Music was in point too. Def coming back here for more and they have happy hour so down to check that out. Next time you’re In newport. Stop by here:

Went to a Love Island watch party and I just have some pointers to make it more successful in the future;
1. Dim the lights in the watch room, it was way too bright in there and no one wants to be at a watch party with hospital lights on you.
2. If you're going to hand out a love island bingo card game at least give supplies to play the game with.....no one even could play it.
3. Add speakers for the tv or raise the volume because you can't hear anything and have to read the subtitles the entire time.

Also, just a side note. The service isn't great, our table ordered two fountain drinks and it took over 30 min to get them and at that point the show was over. Overall it was fine and the food was good but just a few things they need to improve on.

Wow! Delish and super healthy!!! I had the Burrata Salad w chicken, and a bowl of clam chowder. Wifee had the avocado toast! Impressed!!! Will definitely be back!

It was midday not crowded. Chose to eat outside, which is gorgeous. A wee noisy ( right on pch)you pay no mind with great company. Food was delish,delightful, same goes for the cocktails. Can't say enough about the Staff. Everyone i encountered appreciated you, and accommodated our few needs. Very courteous and appeared as though they enjoy their ti.e there. 😁 I will be sure to revisit.

food good, service ehh.
prices a little outrageous - $18 shots.
better to go to across the street

So yummy! The Philly Cheesesteak is what I ordered, I highly recommend!!!

Went for brunch around 11am on a Sunday- loved their patio seating. Got chilaquiles, sunrise burger and brunch cocktails. Loved all of it! Burger was perfectly cooked (medium), breakfast potatoes were crispy and flavorful but not overdone or soggy, and chilaquiles were yummy. Great service and food and drinks came out quickly.

Excellent service, went for happy hour. My margarita was 90% ice so I asked for no ice and the glass is half full. $35 per person for happy hour. Welcome to Newport beach.

Came here for OC restaurant week and we got the New England clam chowder and it melts in your mouth- so delicious!
I got the grilled chicken BLTA and he got the whaler burger. We both thought our sandwiches were delicious! The service was very friendly! A wee bit slow and not attentive because it was a slow lunch hour.

Gorgeous indoor and outdoor seating too!

Parking was valet only for $10. If you park in any of the neighboring lots, there are a lot of signs saying you will be towed. I risked it and parked next door and wasn’t towed.

Stopped by during happy hour for some quick bites. The service, food, and atmosphere were top notch. Calamari was the best we've ever had. Will definitely visit again the next time we're in town.

Well I'm embarrassed to say that my daughter and I had 2 fried dishes, calamari and fish and chips, and they were both crispy and delicious. It is a sports bar, but we sat in the dining room and we were able to carry on a quiet conversation. The service was perfect. I have recommended to others with similar comments. Worth a try if you are in the neighborhood.
