“ This place has a nice upscale decor and pleasant water views from the back wall of windows. There was live music the night we went--it was perfect. Not too loud, not too soft, and the entertainer was very good. The service was top notch: our server was available just the right amount of time. We never felt rushed or crowded and we also never felt forgotten. The food was probably the biggest disappointment. Bread and truffled potatoes were good, but the filet was not. It was cooked perfectly but the meat had a gamey flavor, not something you expect from a steak. Perhaps we just had bad cuts? This was the only blemish in an otherwise great night. Despite the entree issue, I'd still highly recommend this restaurant as everything else was great. ”

“ Excellent date night! My hubby and I stopped in for date night and had a great time. We were seated at a table by the window and were greeted by Troy who had such a calming demeanor. We started with cocktails and appetizers before moving onto entrees. My husband and I split the house salad which was tasty and excellent for sharing. We then enjoyed the Ahi appetizer and the heirloom tomatoes both were excellent. Tip is to ask for salt on the side. I sprinkled some herb salt on my tomatoes and it was wow- For dinner we enjoyed the snake river wagyu steak and the filet. Both were excellent. I personally think the filet was more tender than the wagyu. Both were cooked to perfection and flavored amazingly. They were served with truffle potatoes and asparagus! So tasty!! For desert I gobbled the crème brûlée down and my hubby enjoyed the toffee cake down. We highly recommend and cannot wait to come back! ”

“ We enjoyed a fantastic Valentine's Weekend family celebration at the Newport Beach Winery. We we're seated at a great table and Robert, who managed the dining room immediately came to our table to welcome us and point out some options on their special menu. He even worked with the kitchen staff to provide a special request for the table. Christy, our server did a wonderful job making our dining experience an event! She made sure to stop by the table making sure we we're enjoying our dinner. The Winery location provides a beautiful view for everyone to enjoy. Thanks again for making our Valentines Celebration so special. ”

“ Last night my work organized a team dinner for the boat parade. Valet $15 is a must here as parking is very tight. The entrance is very nice with a wall of wine bottles. We were seated upstairs in the terrace with an amazing view of the boat parade. Service was great, they kept checking on us and making sure we had all we needed. One of my coworkers was unsure of which wine and they were very nice to give her some samples of the options. The food tasted really good. I loved the salad and the steak. Crème brûlée is one of my favorite desserts and although this one tasted good, it was missing some of the flambé for the crust. This location is perfect for a nice dinner out, date night or even a nice family outing. ”

“ I'm so glad we came here for Thanksgiving. The restaurant is beautifully decorated for the holidays and the view was lovely. Service was friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The prix fixe menu was great. I had the ravioli, short rib, and pumpkin pie. And of course the wine was on point. I wouldn't hesitate to come back h ”

“ I went here last night for a work event, and it was amazing. The event was at the top floor overlooking the water. There's a huge room up there that was ours for the event. They were greeted by cocktails and great service. They had three past hors d'oeuvres and the mini beef Wellington's were to die for. I tried a mushroom flatbread, which was pretty good and then ahi tuna. For my main, I got the filet mignon which was perfectly cooked and so tender! It came with vegetables, which I thought we're OK but still good. I really love champagne and they had a nice bottle of Tattinger champagne, which is from a champagne house in Reims France. From the bartender to the waiters, everyone was so friendly and everything I ate was delicious! I hear they have happy hour, so I definitely will be back! ”

“ Service was stellar!! When I tell you Emma, our waitress, provided 5 star service, she was amazing! My husband and I ordered fried calamari and weren't a fan at all. The texture and flavor were off-putting. It was soggy; not crispy at all. We sent it back to have them make it crispier. Second time around and it still wasn't it lol. Emma could tell we weren't satisfied and suggested that we get something else. She recommended the crab cakes and boy oh boy it was so much better than the calamari. Crab cake was meaty and full of flavor. I won't lie, I thought we were going to have a terrible dining experience, in terms of the food, because the calamari was that bad (to us). But everything we ordered after the calamari was phenomenally delicious!!! I ordered the Pistachio Crusted Chilean Seabass which came with Shrimp-Corn-English Pea Risotto and Lobster-Ginger-Carrot Nage. The sea bass was great and all, but that risotto stole the show! So good!! For dessert, my husband and I shared the beignets. Nothing really special about any beignets but these were cooked to perfection. Crispy edges, soft center. The General Manager, Richard, stopped by our table and greeted us. My husband spoke with him about the calamari and Richard was apologetic. I can tell that Emma and Richard pride themselves on making sure guests have a great dining experience. I appreciate that they went the extra mile to make sure my husband and I were satisfied. We will definitely be back! We enjoyed the ambiance (live music, waterfront view, and the aesthetics). ”
