“Absolutely beautiful ocean view from your table“

“Great service, amazing atmosphere and delicious food.“

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food“

“This place is quite nice. It can accommodate more diners than one might initially think. In addition, they have outdoor heaters for those who like to dine outdoors. The food here is very tasty, the portions are ample, and it's not too expensive.“

“We stumbled upon Bee’s Knees by accident for breakfast and there was a parking spot right in front just waiting for us. It was a delicious last meal and great find before heading to the airport to end our lovely spring break in Newport Beach. Breakfast was delicious, the staff was extremely kind, the weather on the patio was perfect. We enjoyed every bite, thank you so much!“

“This is our favorite place for dinner, cocktails and brunch! We love a date night there but it’s also great for kids too. The food, the cocktails, the atmosphere, the service, etc… I can’t say enough about how wonderful it is!“

“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!“

“Really delicious food. I enjoyed it a lot.“

“Wonderful family owned place! The most authentic Italian restaurant outside of Italy. At Il Farro food is prepared with attention and real LOVE. Everything from the appetizers to dessert were perfect. Every dish is made with true italian fresh and natural ingredients and is made by traditional recipes. The talented chef M. makes pastas and pizzas daily and they taste amazing. Also the house wine is a good selection. I suggest you to have their own valuable wine. Il Farro has a great management and staff too. We loved interacting with customers and guys who work in, they became like family for us. The qualified employees are friendly helpful and the restaurant is always clean. They do have enough seats and limited outdoor seating, but get a reservation in advance to make sure you have a place.Hands off, this is the best place to gather with friends or family! It has our ❤️s. We loved it.“

“Peter is amazing! He is such an attentive waiter and made sure we had an excellent dinner. Highlight of our trip! ☀️“

“Fabulous food and cool interior“

“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.“

“Miranda was exceptionally great! She greeted us with a smile, was very attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. It was our first time trying PF Chang’s, and thanks to her excellent service, it turned into a wonderful experience.“

“Delicious healthy food. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“If you’re looking for a sandwich shop that serves more than just great food, this is the place.

We stopped by this small family-owned sandwich shop for the first time, and from the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. Jerry, the owner, greeted us with the warmth and friendliness of someone welcoming regular customers he had known for years. That kind of hospitality is rare these days and immediately made us feel at home.

Every sandwich we ordered was outstanding. The bread was fresh, the vegetables were crisp and vibrant, and every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh. You could hear the crunch of the vegetables in each bite and tell that every sandwich was made with care and attention, not simply assembled and handed over. It’s the kind of food that reminds you how delicious simple, fresh ingredients can be when prepared by people who truly care.

We also ordered a strawberry-banana smoothie, and to our surprise, Jerry brought complimentary sample smoothies not only to our table but also to another couple dining nearby. It was such a thoughtful gesture and speaks volumes about the kind of people who run this business.

What made the experience even more meaningful was hearing Jerr’s story. He shared that he came to America in 1981 after escaping the horrors of war in Cambodia. He endured unimaginable hardship as a child, including witnessing the loss of his father and being separated from his family before eventually reuniting with his mother years later. Listening to his journey made us appreciate even more the resilience, gratitude, and kindness he brings to his business every day.

Running a small business is not easy, and Jerry mentioned that the margins are tight and times can be challenging. After experiencing both the food and the hospitality firsthand, I truly hope more people discover this hidden gem. Businesses like this deserve community support.

I’m so glad I found this place on Google Maps and decided to give it a chance. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the people behind it are genuinely wonderful. This is exactly the kind of local business I want to support.

If you’re in Irvine and craving a fresh, delicious sandwich made with care by some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t be disappointed.

We’ve already saved it and will absolutely be back the next time we’re in Irvine.

PS: I wish I had taken the pics of our sandwiches but we were hungry and couldn’t resist eating them right away.“

“Service and breakfast was excellent“

“Well worth the wait! GREAT sushi, service and quality.“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“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“

“Food is great and staff is fabulous!!!“

“Great food! Nice people !“

“Great service, authentic Italian food“

“If in Newport Beach. This is your pizza spot. Don’t be like me and enter through the door. I didn’t know it’s window only pickup. They were very nice. Pizza rocked. I’ve been all around the country and hands down. This might be my new favorite. Wish they would deliver 1800 miles away. Definitely get a pie from this place.“

“On a recent trip to England where I met the queen herself, she asked if I had been to TK Burger... I had not, but I promised to go first thing when I got back.

The atmosphere is local, friendly, and inviting besides a bull dog that relieved itself right out front.

The fries are great, burger had really potential but was a little overcooked and dry for me. The burger as a hole was juicy though.

This burger was like a shampoo'y head dip... almost doing the thing but not quite. Still stoked though, you know?“

“Great service, authentic Italian food“

“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!“

“The BBQ chicken pizza is delicious & great delivery service!“

“Iconic old school Newport Beach harbor bar/grill. Been here forever. How many places can you pull in with your boat and grab drinks and food to go or stay and enjoy the day? Not cheap- but you don’t go to Newport for value- you go for the experience and the energy. This place has great food and decent drinks too. Can get a little busy and take a bit of time to get attention- but it’s all worth it.“

“The food & service were great“

“Amazing food & service! Kirk if the Best❤️“

“Love the Teriyaki Steak & the Lobster Roll❤️“

“I had such a wonderful experience at this Japanese restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel genuinely welcomed.

The food was outstanding! Super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted like it was made with care and high-quality ingredients.

What really stood out was the consistency in both service and food. Everything came out in a timely manner and the team checked in just enough to make sure we were taken care of without feeling rushed.

Overall, it’s a place I would absolutely return to and recommend to anyone looking for a great Japanese dining experience. Truly a gem!“

“Cafe Artys is fantastic, the food is fresh and superb, the spicy Italian and breakfast burritos/quesadillas are top notch as well. Can’t recommend this place enough, The parking gate has a 15 minute grace period and the machines work perfectly and are really fast so don’t worry about that. Highly recommend, it’s so easy to just go for a chain food restaurant but supporting a small local business is so important these days not too mention it’s so much more healthy and better food at Cafe Artys!“
