Restaurants near Newport Coast

“A beautiful morning at Crystal Cove...7AM reservation at a table with great views of the ocean and our smiling server, Oscar, welcoming us with strong hot coffees & cream. Perfect. I enjoyed a typical breakfast that was perfectly prepared to my order: poached eggs, extra crispy potatoes & bacon with rye toast and blackberry jam. My lovely partner was overwhelmed by the tasty gigantic "Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crepe". It would easily feed two people. Oscar was very attentive and often stopped by with more hot coffee. Delightful.”

“From the sound of the waves crashing, to the ocean views, to the coffee it was outstanding. The eggs benedict was delicious and the service was superb! We will be back! Thanks, Beachcomber!”

“We have never had a bad meal at Modo Mio and we go all the time! The wait staff and management is absolutely stellar. They have the best cocktails in town and their attention to even the smallest detail is deeply appreciated. This is our neighborhood restaurant and a gem!”

“Again enjoyed coming here for the live music by Adelaide, the excellent service by Michael and the most delicious vodka pasta! Also football game was on and was a fun crowd!”

“I had a wonderful experience at The Pelican Hill Resort Café & Market! I ordered a hot Earl Grey tea, which was served in a lovely teapot with a matching cup and a side of honey—such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more enjoyable.

The ambiance was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful view overlooking the golf course. It was the perfect spot to relax and take in the serene surroundings. The staff was incredibly kind and professional, ensuring everything was just right.

Overall, a fantastic place to unwind with great service and breathtaking scenery. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Lauro is truly the heart of Blk Dot Coffee in Crystal Cove. Every time I stop by, he goes above and beyond to make the experience welcoming and enjoyable. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine kindness really stand out. He remembers regulars, takes the time to make sure every order is perfect, and always greets you with a smile. It’s rare to find someone who balances efficiency with such a warm, personal touch, and Lauro does it effortlessly. He makes this location feel like more than just a coffee stop—it feels like a community.”

“If I could give 20 million stars, I would! My experience at Galpao Gaucho tops any of the experiences that I've had at other chain Brazilian steakhouses by miles. ADRIAN was amazing! He's so personable, asked me exactly what meat I wanted and made sure I got that piece (garlic picanha- INSANE). The other servers that helped us (Juliano, Patricia, Deborah) were equally as amazing and attentive. I truly cannot say any more good things. We have found our new spot and could not be more thrilled!”

“Truly outstanding. From flavor to quality to service, this experience was exceptional. The only negative was that our table was beneath a vent; therefore, we were freeeeezing. 😅 We even had an opportunity to meet Teemu (the owner) himself. Already looking forward to our next visit!”

“Very well managed and great food.”

“Super cute spot for brunch! A bit of a hidden spot off the main road. My breakfast platter was a mixture of various in-house made items with a little mix of sweet and salty. Very cute interior and kind family running the restaurant.”

“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!”

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.”
