The Reef is a gathering spot that captures the heart of the seadog in all of us. It feels like home port in all the right ways, and acknowledges the wanderlust and adventurous spirit in every sailors soul. Situated dockside in Newport Harbor, The Reef is a waterfront restaurant serving international cuisine inspired by the travels of sailors to ports around the world, with a drink selection to suit every taste. Our versatile harborside space is great for intimate gatherings and large celebrations alike, yet casual enough for spontaneous come-as-you-are get-togethers. Down a quick libation at the end of a perfect sail, or enjoy a meal with flavors from faraway places while listening to live music on the patio. Our accommodating staff guarantees a pleasant, memorable experience every time you visit. At the Reef, we believe every day can be a good one when you’re surrounded by the sights, sounds and flavors of the sea.

We arrived late but it was not a concern for the Mooring staff. One suggestion, on the reservation add a telephone number that you can call to tell them you are running late. The number given does not connect to a real person, and is only informative. Food was great as usual. Please do not sell out to Nicholas S.

The Boat House never fails to impress! The food was excellent with generous portions, along with a great atmosphere at “The most wonderful time of the year!” Our server JP was wonderful and was very attentive. One of our other favorites, bartender/server Faithe was also nice enough to come over to our table to greet us as well. It’s nice to go someplace “where everybody knows your name.” This is one of our go to spots as there is never a question in mind about what you are in for!

Our first time there won’t be our last. The food and value was excellent, hence a packed restaurant at 5:30 on a Saturday. The guacamole had a subtle zing that I couldn’t put my finger on and may have been my favorite ever. We had a fajitas, enchiladas and a fried fish taco, all delicious. Service couldn’t be better.
