I loved this little restaurant in the marina. The place has amazing views for a nice meal. The pizzas are out of this world, made with fresh ingredients and great seasoning. It gets pretty busy but still, we managed to get a table outside after a brief wait. They have a wide range of options, from vegetarian to gluten free dishes, as well as wine and cocktails. The service is pretty good, they were really attentive and polite.
Best dining experience we’ve had in Newport Beach - vibes off the charts, beautiful back bay harbor views. Luke is a total vibe himself, great energy and positivity, and every recommendation he gave was a 10/10. Perla also was a rockstar and it’s clear they work as a team support each other and their guests, which is seen / valued / appreciated by your guests. Anyways.. the pizza - if you leave here without trying the Pineapple you will absolutely regret it. And definitely add a side of ranch. Enjoy!

The butternut squash pizza with a reduced amount of vegan Gouda and added prosciutto was delicious. Down the road, I may try it without any cheese for a lighter effect. Lox pizza without white sauce and just a slight drizzle of olive oil was yummy; tasted like a crispy everything bagel with lox. I’m looking forward to trying more of their pizza options over time in this delightful end-of-the-dock restaurant in Lido Village. Great service from Cynthia. Service was charming, customers friendly, food flavorful, and water views outstanding!

Just had a reservation for 7:30 party of 4. We checked in at 7:30. They were about to seat us in a table of four. Then, told us this table is taken…for two. Next to this table was an empty table for two. We were told we’d have to wait approx 25 mins for another table. Terrible customer service. Cannot opine on the food.

Great little pizza spot by same owner as Malibu Farm (a few doors down). Not authentic Swedish but super delicious. Recommend the artichoke pizza and the lox pizza.
Great location and atmosphere. Overall, the menu has a wide offering. Staff were super friendly. Visited for lunch and ate out on the deck. Super pleasant.

I've been there twice now and have enjoyed it each time. We went as a group and ordered and shared some different dishes.Being at the end of the Lido walk, it's tucked away, and you feel like a normal patron. The servers and atmosphere are very chill. The food is very good.Favorite is the Butternut squash pizza, Brown butter pasta, and the Lavender butterfly pea flower blueberry hot tea.My only regret is that I didn't take any photos.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is an alley way right from the road to the restaurant. Easy access.

Great food. Pasta portion sizes are on the small side, so plan on getting a salad or maybe splitting a pizza if you're super hungry.
Vegetarian options: Variety of vegetarian options, including sandwiches, pastas, pizzas, and salads.
Dietary restrictions: Menu has gluten-free items identified, including a pasta with butternut squash noodles and a zucchini crust pizza.
Omg my new fav place CANNOT WAIT to go back!! I got Zucchini veggie dish and a BBQ Pizza it was all so good and differenta d made with healthy ingredients- highly recommend to try ❤️

First of all, best view ever. The ambiance and vibe of this restaurant is unbeatable. This was the best pizza we have ever had & there was AMAZING service. Sat us early, offered a blanket and heater to be turned on upon arrival, and food was served so quickly. Our server, Payton, was SO kind and attentive.The flavors of the pizza (we got tomato and added prosciutto, and the butternut squash with pancetta) were so fresh, light, and flavorful. Amazing hot honey! We also got the kale Caesar to start and it was so delicious and fun breaking our salad open. The flavor of the salad was UNREAL too, 10/10 recommend. To top it off, as we were eating, our waiter took a dog next to us a complimentary bowl of water. Soooo nice!!We will be back- ASAP!
Taste overall was great but none of our warm food options were served hot which was disappointing. The service was good but we were sat outside when our reservation was for inside. That was fine but the outdoor heat warmers went out mid dining and we requested them to be turned on which didn’t happen. Furthermore, we were led to believe a drink option would be good by servers when I said I don’t like sweet options and was concerned about picking one of the drink options but the server said it wasn’t sweet. Side note. It was. I didn’t like it. Overall experience was a 3.5. Mid. Taste of food was good, was upsold on many options being told they were great choices. If food was served hot maybe. Left overall but with a mid score. Probs would not return again. Felt neglected and gaslit. Servers were nice tho and food mid.

Local guide here and in my personal opinion Skal is a top notch establishment. We arrived near closing and Luke took care of us as if it were a private meal. Will be back. Thanks.
