We had our company’s Christmas party here and the food was amazing. We were given a Lobster 🦞 upgrade to our meal choice (Filet Mignon or Salmon) and the Lobsters were massive. Sitting on the deck was great also to watch the boat parade scoot across the bay as well. The only bummer of the night was the valet - we got told when we arrived that there was no space and to go park across the street at Wells Fargo

Our service was phenomenal Cole was our server at the bar he made the best recommendations! Introduced us to new tequila and make a Long Island so good we came back multiple times! If you’re in the area try this place out!!

A nice anniversary date, good food, great views and outstanding service. Ever was the best and the patio was a great choice.

Food was amazing! Service was top notch. The chowder was my favorite. The steak is a must try. Nice place for a special occasion. Locals looked like they love it. It's pricey so please take note of that. The views of the water with the boats just added to the entire experience.

Love all the food. Great service and atmosphere. Id definitely come back. Favorite dish was the shrimp pesto pasta. Giant shrimp thats perfectly cooked.

What a disappointment breakfast was! We were looking forward to a nice breakfast after the passing of a family member so we picked this place since we love the water and Newport Beach. We heard their happy hour is fabulous but they sure missed with their brunch. Trying to be good and healthy so I ordered the sea bass over cauliflower. Super bland, needed salt & pepper but it still didn't help. My second choice would have been the quiche. My friend ordered it and was also disappointed. Bland and flavorless. So much for being good (and still hungry) we opted for the dessert trio. So THIS was amazing! I can't even decide which of the 3 we liked best because we devoured the ENTIRE plate! The espresso martini was a hit, too. Just a big miss with the meal. And to top it off, it was $150 EACH! Yikes! Hoping the hubby doesn't read this review!

Great dinner here for four people. Service is skilled and knowledgeable. Attentive without being fussy. Good vibe in the restaurant with various groups having a good time. Food is plentiful for sharing. Drinks were great. Can’t wait to come back.

Nice interior decoration. View of water is a plus although not much to see at night. Pretty slow service and have to wait a few bit for food. Sadly, food is not really not up to par with the location and price. Our dry aged rib eye was only 3/4 inch thick, almost blasphemy for good steak. The Iberian pork chop was dry and the sauce tasted exactly like what they put on the ikea meat balls. The potatoes that came with were hard as rocks and totally inedible. This would be great great for happy hour where the event isn't food focused. Don't bring a foodie date as she will be disappointed.
