I recently celebrated my anniversary here, and we absolutely loved our experience at Ocean 48. The staff was all very friendly. Our server provided such excellent service, and was able to tell us about the menu in detail. Everything was simply amazing from the food, ambiance, service, and wine selection. We loved it, and definitely look forward to going back.

Came for my partners birthday and was disappointed by the food quality. We had the sea bass (a bit cold and flavorless) steak (could be seasoned more) some sides that were amazing except for the Brussels sprouts (very hard). Our server was great and accommodating as well as staff.

The restaurant has a nice ambiance, but the dishes are very heavy and oily due to excessive butter, which takes away from a refined fine dining experience.
I’m a professional Uber Black driver, and the way the valet staff at Ocean 48 Newport Beach treats rideshare drivers is completely unacceptable.
The moment a driver pulls up for a pickup, the valet staff becomes aggressive—constant frantic waving, ordering drivers to move immediately, and speaking in a condescending, disrespectful manner. There is no professionalism and no attempt at calm communication, even when guests are clearly walking toward the vehicle.
What’s most concerning is the abuse of perceived authority. The valet staff behaves as if they are above everyone else, escalating situations unnecessarily. If a driver politely asks for clarification or explains that passengers are approaching, the response is hostility instead of cooperation.
This behavior doesn’t just disrespect drivers—it creates an uncomfortable scene in front of your guests, many of whom are using Uber Black specifically for a premium, seamless experience. Watching drivers be treated poorly at the entrance reflects badly on the restaurant itself.
For an establishment that markets itself as upscale and refined, allowing this kind of conduct at the front door is unacceptable. Management needs to step in, retrain the valet staff, and address the lack of professionalism immediately.
Until this is corrected, Ocean 48 Newport Beach does not meet the standard it claims to represent.

This review is for Anthony Gatto, GM for Oceans 48. When it comes to being a business owner, you want someone to be able to represent your restaurant as if he himself is the owner. That person is Anthony. What a standup and professional manager. He knows how to manage his team, mitigate things from further escalating and simply providing 5 star management service. This restaurant is lucky to have Anthony. Thank you for going above and beyond in your line of work. I appreciate you greatly.

Impeccable food, service and atmosphere. I had the ribeye dry-aged steak, and it was by far one of the best. I believe they get their steaks from a high-quality producer. I will definitely be coming back here.
