Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Newport Beach

One word - Amazing!!! I’ve been here weekend and weekday. Foods were excellent every time and the service was outstanding ! Definitely will recommend to friends and family! And the ocean view is beautiful!

My husband and I come here often. Most times, we sit in the bar area. Tonight, we chose the bars hightop rather than the actual bar, because we wanted to have dinner and not just appetizers. The bar is lively during its peak times, and service is good, but the staff are stretched because they often times have just two persons serving drinks and food. They're friendly enough and are happy to grab you whatever you need, but be prepared to make it known that you want to order if you're not getting fast enough service. Request a restaurant menu if you desire more than appetizers. The prices are appropriate for this type of restaurant, and the food is decent enough, but you won't find fancy plating or unusual food preparations. They do the standard seafood grilling or baked preparations with added traditional sauces. The warm and crusty sourdough bread is off the hook. The bar area is quite noisy, so choose the back dining area if you don't appreciate loud music or the bar's liveliness. For those of you who pay with a credit card, know that there's an upcharge of almost 5%. I would advise you to bring cash if that doesn't thrill you.

Had an amazing time. Amazing food and service. Huge kudos to the executive Chef JC!!
