Dined here with family for a Saturday brunch, and it was wonderful.
We were seated outside, and the view was beautiful.
The staff, service, and our server were very nice, attentive, and great with kids!
All of the food we ordered was delicious.
The wait to be seated was slightly longer while some tables were visibly empty. However, I stayed on top of it and made sure to get the table in a timely manner. There might be a reason behind it, I'm not sure. Just make sure you stay close to the restaurant after checking into the waitlist.
Spectacular view of the ocean, interesting menu and delicious food. Dutch apple kobbler was so good, highly recommended. Coconut shrimp was perfect for the appetizer.
Delicious and Fresh! Everything we had was amazing!
Not pictured was the Filet Crostinis, which were tenderly cooked slices of filet with tons of flavor!
I had the "3 Course Coastal Catch" with macadamia nut crusted Salmon (not listed on the menu) and the citrus sauce. This is my go to combination for salmon since I don't dare try cooking it like this at home! The citrus is flavorful and not overbearing, making it the perfect combination with the rest of the seasonings. I will order this dish again!
My dad, who has a picky palet, had the mahi mahi and thoroughly enjoyed his meal, which was "not fishy" like some others he had at other restaurants.
Others ordered the lobster roll, fish and chips and lobster Mac (which I didn't try).
For those with picky kids, please note the mac and cheese is creamy and more like homemade (not like boxed kraft Mac).
i’ve been here three times now and I must say, it’s the absolute best view for a semi-casual brunch or dinner! i recommend getting seated outside for the best view but just dress warm in case the breeze hits you.
they have their own parking lot so just make sure you pay for your spot at the booth and you’re good to go! if you uber, they can come into the lot and drop you off at the front.
now onto to the food! SO MUCH GOOD STUFF!!! The lobster mac is where it’s attttt. it’s so good here half of my table ordered it lol. the clam chowder is also quite delicious! we also ordered the bread, scallops, and crispy calamari and those were all bomb! i had the salmon and it was absolute perfection. for brunch, if they still have it, get the lemon ricotta pancakes!!
a big shoutout to Wendy! she’s such a great server and we’re a group of 10 so she did her best with us! most definitely will be back again!!
A hidden gem in Newport Beach. With a spectacular view of the ocean, the food is on point. Their salmon melts in your mouth with a sauce that complements the flavor of the fish perfectly. Their lobster roll is also unexpectedly impressive with a buttery brioche roll and big, fair pieces of lobster. As for their dessert, their fresh baked macadamia cookie is a must try: we get it every time. The cookie is baked fresh and served warm with high quality vanilla ice cream. They also have beignet, which have a similar texture to roti, served with cinnamon sugar. Although there was only one waitress, the food arrived reasonably quickly and the overall experience was lovely.
I wanted to give this place a try since the everything looked great in the pictures even after reading all this bad reviews surprising they were not wrong. Our drinks were horrible I got a piña colada that tasted like warm milk and rum with a bunch of sugar we sat in the sun for two hours watched several employees walked by and ignored our dirty plates on the side of the table our server refilled our water once with warm water. The food was okay nothing out of the ordinary. Spent a good penny but I don’t think I can recommend or be able to say I’ll be back.
Was visiting from out of town. Great location and food was delicious. I highly recommend the hangar steak and apple cobbler. It was also nice to be right on the marina during sunset. Absolutely beautiful.
Service left a little to be desired. Our server wasn’t able to confidently answer questions about the menu and beverage offerings. They also weren’t very personable, but overall kind and attentive. It was also very clear they were trying to rush us out to accommodate a large walk up party which wasn’t welcoming even though there was only one other party in the entire restaurant.
But, overall a good experience. I would definitely rerun to try brunch.
I almost don’t want to review this place so it stays a hidden gem. One of my favorite breakfast places in Newport Beach with an upper deck and lower patio both having great ocean views of the Newport Bay Harbor. The beignets are so good to start. I like their eggs, avocado toast, breakfast potatoes, and especially sipping their coffee. Pricing is surprisingly reasonable for such a beautiful new in a pricey town. Good nice servers too. 5 stars!
Nice place to eat on the bay. Outdoor seating and upper roof seating. Food was good, steak chilaquiles & for dessert the beignet was great 👍🏻 The apple cobbler was not as good.
It’s our first time to try this restaurant for an early breakfast and we ordered the Salmon eggs Benedict with Mimosas and coffee. Food is good 👍 with a fantastic view of the bay. We were seated by Carlo at the second floor outdoor seats. He also happens to be our server and he was awesome 👏 . Great service I might add. He also fluent in Italian. We sure be back soon.
Nice relaxing , fancy place. Food is good and fresh. I liked the seafood. The menu is different for lunch and dinner .They have the parking for the restaurant. I loved the location as you can view the bay and boats. Little beach area . There is Marina park next to it . Overall a pleasant experience.
I went in June of 2022. The food was phenomenal. We had the berry salad and the lobster Mac and two drinks. I still dream about it all. The ambiance and views inside of the restaurant were breathtaking. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. On the pricier side but definitely worth the dollar spent.
A very relaxing place to have the perfect brunch. Service was amazing. Free beignets! And the place is wonderful. I would definitely come back again
Service was great for a large group. Starters and desserts were great. Cocktails were strong. But the mains were just okay. If they get the seafood on point then it will be a really good place. The lobster roll needed good chunks of lobster but it was more like tuna salad in texture.
Great experience here recently. Thanks to our friendly, handsome waiter who seated us even though we were probably a few minutes too early!
Food was great and coffee was flowing freely. And of course, the view just made everything better. Thanks!
Came here for brunch before our Duffy Boat rental. Easy metered lot parking right outside. We had the beignets, French toast both from the adult menu and the kids menu. The calamari was eeh. The fish tacos looked good. The steak and eggs were cook rare as I ordered it. Kids were able to spot the lighthouse from the water later that afternoon. Bathrooms were outside the restaurant in the adjacent building. All in all, a good experience.
Beautiful view and very calm place to enjoy food with a beautiful view.
