50 Best Salad Restaurants near Newport Coast

“Nice place - horrible service. We became that forgotten table of 2. Nothing was done without us asking from the bread service which they never finished to getting drinks. When someone came but they through the item on the table and walked off. No asking about empty drinks or taking no longer needed plates. The manager finally came over at the end and comped a desert. We were not looking for that, we had given up by then. The food was great!“

The dolmas were served warm and were cooked very well. I really like my beef koobideh kebab as it was so juicy and tender it fell apart. The interesting one was the Iskender kebab. The sauce was very fresh. Excited to go back“

I'll definitely be coming here more often.“

“There is a God!! I have been away for years working in North Dakota praying for a shrimp burrito. I was in Balboa over weekend and got my Shrimp fix. So darn good! The best shrimp soze and taste anywhere. They have not changed anything during this bad inflation. Miss the salsa bar but they gave us plenty. Most great places come and eventually go but GM is still.#1. Thank you Peter and staff!!.“

It's 10/10 every time. Favorite place especially for the price.“

“This was a very special visit. My aunt used to take me here with my mom and sister when we were young. I came on a whim with my husband and the food brought back all the special memories.

We came for lunch and were served their special popovers with strawberry butter and consommé. It was just as delightful as I remembered. My husband was really impressed.

Did I mentioned that both items come with the meal?

For lunch, I ordered the pecan crusted salmon and he ordered the chicken Milanese. Both were delicious! My salmon was a great piece of quality fish. It was cooked perfectly and the pecan crust was a light and crispy compliment to the stellar fish. My husband was very happy with his chicken. It came with arugula in a savory a very light dressing. It was an impressive compliment to the chicken. Lastly, we ordered pumpkin pie and coffees.

Our lunch was under $100, and well worth it. Everything was fantastic. We had the sweetest server-I can’t recall her name but she was an older woman who made us want to come back and dine with her again and again.

If you have not been here, you need to!
It’s located on the 3rd floor of Neiman Marcus. They have holiday decorations up, so it’s a fun pit stop in the mall.“

“Very good kebab wraps ( falafel or beef/lamb with salad. The garlic aioli was pretty delicious and tasty too. Staff are friendly and helpful.“

Not to mention the beach bites are perfect for an appetizer, or a meal which our son did and he loved the sauce. ( We got it hot, but you can order it cold)

Has a bar area with Tv screens perfect for game days!
Super family friendly, if I lived closer this would definitely be a once a week spot or more.

The team of 2-3 people checked on our party at least 10 times and they were wonderful every time we requested something else. Keep up the good service!

Kid-friendliness: Perfect for families!“

“Staying in a hotel around the corner and chose this for takeout due to proximity and star ratings. Ordered a large Deluxe, added meatballs, no peppers. Order was ready right on time. Pizza was delicious. Can't speak highly enough, definitely recommend this. I was in and out pretty quick but the staff was extremely friendly. Check 'em out!“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“Tried out for an early dinner on Friday while visiting Irvine on business. Appreciated curated selection of drinks (I went for my tried and true choice of wine, instead of those varieties of cocktails) and menu. Jessica, the server, was attentive, super friendly and great with menu recommendations. Had the arugula salad, filet, cooked to perfection, and coffee cake. Will be coming back with mom to enjoy next time. Highly recommend.“
