Equally adept at fueling Lido Village-bound shoppers is Tupelo Junction Cafe...the restaurant is true to the funky, Cannery Village side of the town's personality: Cocktails come in mason jars, the coffee mugs are country-style crockery, and the walls display fruit-crate labels as artwork. Everything is made from scratch daily serving Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner."The menu is packed with southern-influenced dishes like apple cinnamon beignets; a pulled-pork sloppy joe; or Amy's own favorite, a sprightly salad of lettuce, fried chicken, corn-bread croutons, and buttermilk dressing."

We had an exceptional dining experience at Fleming’s in Newport Beach. Meaghan, our server, was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and professional, making our evening even more special. We enjoyed the tomahawk steak! Every side dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The ambiance added to the charm of the evening, creating a delightful atmosphere. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to return.

The food at Great Maple is always presented beautifully and always tastes delicious. Today was unusually crowded. The noise level was high and the service was a bit slower than usual. If you dine here, ask to sit with Arianna. We were not in her section today.
