From my Sat afternoon visit to this local Newport Beach 'Dive', I can see why Tony 'Dogbomb' liked coming here. It's a fun place to hang out, talk to the very nice bartenders and have a drink or meal. Tony passed away from ALS on 04/05/19 (known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, which is a specific disease that causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscle). He was a friend to many in the furry fandom, and outside the furry community as well. I hope to return with other Orange Co. Furries in Nov for ALS Walk in Irvine and a return visit here to pay homage. FIVE CLAWS UP!!!!! Thanks for checking this review. Joe G. Bear in Redondo Beach, CA

Regardless of what day you walk past this restaurant during the lunch hour, there are always people outside anxious to get a table. I have enjoyed everything that I have ever had here, but my go-to has always been the Asian Chicken & Noodle Salad. My wife likes the Meiterranean Seared Tuna Salad and my buddy insists they have some of the best Cheeseburgers around---if you like Veggie Burgers, they do a good job on those too. The Deviled Eggs are our favorite side and the Pot de Crème dessert is worth saving room for. The servers are very pleasant and prompt and the place always has an upbeat feel. They have outdoor seating, which can be wonderful for most of the year in Newport Beach. This is quality American style food served well.

Our friends took us to this restaurant that was very busy. The best thing about this restaurant was the appetizer that was a giant pretzel. We were just eating our pretzel and they tried to serve us our entreeâs. We refused thee entrees at this time. The eventually brought them back. Our server kept disappearing and we were disappointed in the whole experience. We did not return to this restaurant.

Still wonderful ... BUT:* GONE is that incredible Reuben Sandwich (I know it is primarily a seafood restaurant but if you ever had that Reuben you might say otherwise),* GONE is the Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay (the very hard-to-find Russian River version) that was sooooo exceptionally great at any price, and* GONE is that wonderful seating area that was right in front of the bar ... the seating area with THE most commanding view of the Newport Harbor of any restaurant there, and* GONE is "John", their exceptionally personable and concerned manager (he left for the right reason: retirement ... but as nice as their management is, we still miss him). "Jaime", a server assistant who has been there for over 30 years, is still doing everything he can to make your dining experience good.The "bar menu" is wonderful and all of the items on it are as dependable as they are delicious. But ask for the Crab Cake to be cooked maybe 30 seconds longer so as to enjoy it with a bit more "crisp" finish. It may look a little burned, but it is in looks only ... not the exceptional flavor. And Newport Landing makes them fresh ... they do not buy them from a supplier.Given the fact that they no longer serve Sonoma Cutrer, we bring our own wine. But I think a $15 corkage fee is exorbitant considering there's no effort in opening a screw-top bottle and they do not provide any "wine management" in its serving. And for those of you who might say "screw top wine and you are complaining about a corkage fee" I say do the math. Ten seconds to open and serve a glass is one heck of an hourly rate, let alone service surcharge. I know they are trying to make up for their lost profit on the wine but geeeeez.Newport Landing is still our go-to restaurant in Newport Beach. But gone are some of the things that made it really really exceptional.

Tommy Bahama Island Grille is conveniently located in Corona del Mar Plaza, minutes from Fashion Island, John Wayne Airport, and of course, the beach! The upscale alternative to our Laguna Beach location features a fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and inn

If you are a fan of the stark minimalist trend then this is the spot for you. Gone is the tropical vibe we lived replaced by white plastic. Very noisy and bright. Good music however. And the food is excellent. Maybe better for lunch than a romantic dinner! Use to be one of our local favorites.l but not so much now!

Nice views, great service and incredible awesome fish tacos. I tried the salmon taco, Mahi taco, and the lobster one... I would never say that out of Mexico I would enjoy tacos, but fish quality was so good.Things to improve, the âtortillasâ should be better (classical corn ones)

Enjoyed a lovely breakfast at this quality restaurant adjoining the beach. Very scenic setting with great views out to sea. Has that beach shack feel to it. It was extremely popular so get down early. We tried to go back for dinner later in the week, but hadnât booked in time. So missed out! Need to go back sometime.Enjoy.

Every time I visit this area it is a must stop. The Place is located right on the boardwalk over looking the Beach & Ocean. The friendly staff greet you right away as you enter the restaurant and from that point forward make you feel at home. Great selection of adult beverages and the menu is great! And now the oysters.....AMAZING! If your in this area I would highly recommend paying this establishment a visit!
