50 Best Salad Restaurants near Newport Coast

“We went here for a special birthday celebration. It is recommended to make reservations ahead of time. We last minute called and were able to get a reservation for 5. It is a nice candlelight ambiance. Food was delicious. We had ordered the osso, branzino fish with plate, and the steak. It was all delicious. When we sat down, it came with complimentary bread and marinated mushrooms. The veggies had celery in it which wasn’t my favorite“

“We needed something quick while we were out and wanted something that would leave us feeling good - found Urban Plates and it exceeded what we were looking for! My grass-fed steak was tender and juicy, the mac n cheese was comforting and delicious, and the side of beets paired well with the goat cheese. My husband enjoyed his crispy chicken sandwich and fries. I love the variety of food offered at Urban Plates and knowing my body is getting high quality nutrients while enjoying something delicious!

They also offer a membership discount - worth it if you live nearby and frequent this place!“

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

“Authentic Italian cuisine at its finest! The pasta dishes are homemade and divine. The service is top-notch and the staff is friendly. Can't wait to go back!“

“I can't believe someone gave them one star. Luna Grill has excellent service, the place is always packed, and it's VERY clean. I am a mail carrier and I come here often. I am also deaf. Alex, who has served me many of times, wears a shirt with sign language on it, which really touched my heart. He didn't know I was deaf, but the gesture really touched me. Paige took my order today, and what I've noticed about her is that she's ALWAYS smiling. Actually, they all always greet the customers with a smile. Those giving one star must stay angry all the time, because this place is top notch. This is UC Irvine 35. Let me say this. The place is so popular that by noon, it's packed. They have Uber Eats workers, Door Dash carrying dozens of orders out. So many orders that the Uber Eats worker needs a buggy. I pause and take my lunch early to avoid the lunch crowd, and they STILL get the orders out fast.

P.S. someone put in their bad review that Luna grill was out of water cups and that they only received a small portion of the chicken. Look over the rice. Look at the rice where the trail of chicken ends. You can tell there was chicken sitting on top of that rice. Try again.“

“Angel was amazing at this location. It was my first time there, and he explained everything in good detail. My food was made fresh as I ordered. Angel was extremely helpful and possessed amazing communication skills. He was super sweet and patient with me. Way to go, Angel !“

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.“

“People say this restaurant offers delicious, fresh food with a wide variety of healthy and customizable options, including flavorful braised lamb and harissa honey chicken.

Visitors consistently praise the staff for being friendly, helpful, and providing excellent, fast service in a clean and welcoming environment.“

“Everything we tried was a 10/10! The combo plate we chose had beef kofta and kabab and it was incredibly tender and perfectly medium rare. Also came with two sides (so amazing that you get to choose) The salad + potato salad was so refreshing. 🥗 The chicken wrap was crispy on the edges, juicy, and packed with spices. 🌯 It pairs well with the garlic sauce. (put it on everything) 🧄 I loved the dessert which had baklava with pistachio sauce! 🍽 the staff is friendly, and you get a massive plate of food for a great price.“

“Everything we had was so delicious. My 12 year old non vegan son loved it all too!“

“I wondered how I could eat well on vacation. Vibe was across the street from my rental and I was so happy to find it! Meal problem solved! I bought a couple of bowls and a wrap during my stay. I even got my mom and two sisters to visit with me. They found something to try, too! Wish you had a store in Utah, I'd try everything on the menu. I actually got to have ice-cream! Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

“Buen servicio de Alex 👍🏼 y la comida muy rica“

“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!“

“Excellent food and wonderful service! My wife and I popped in here after a long bike ride, and we weren't disappointed. We shared the supreme breakfast burrito with venison and the waffles with fruit. The burrito was so good, the meat was cooked to perfection and the combination with the eggs and potatoes made it wonderful. And the waffles, oh my! We will definitely be back for more of this delicious food. Oh, and the service was incredible, everyone is so friendly and attentive. A+++“

Most great places come and eventually go but GM is still.#1. Thank you Peter and staff!!.“

She was absolutely wonderful!! The absolute best!!!“

“The chef puts out unique and delicious pizzas, pastas, daily specials and desserts. Very unique location too!“

“Great restaurant! The place has a really nice atmosphere, and the food was delicious. The staff were nice and helpful too. They could maybe smile a little more, but honestly, I can understand—they probably deal with so many people throughout the day and were just tired. I definitely didn’t get any bad vibes from them. They seemed like genuinely good, kind people who were simply having a long day. Other than that, I had no issues at all. Great food, nice place, and overall a very good experience!“

“amazing food! fungi pasta was out of this world!“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“Tried this pizza spot with my family last weekend and it ended up being a really good choice. The pizza came out hot with plenty of toppings and a nice crispy crust. I ordered a pepperoni pie while my wife got a veggie pizza, and both were fresh and flavorful. The staff was friendly and checked on us a couple times without being pushy. It did take a few extra minutes for our order to arrive, but honestly it was worth the wait. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and felt welcoming. I'd definitely come back again when I'm craving pizza.“
