    This place was amazing. Everything was excellent, the service, the food, the atmosphere. I wish I could have tried all the dishes on the menu. They all looked so good.I tried the Chilean sea bass and it was perfect.The Madeleines for dessert were exquisite

    hours from home and it is with every minute of the drive to revisit! Traveling through the area took a chance on all the reviews being honest - everyone was spot on. The food is amazing, the services is prompt and polite, and if you are there at the end of the dinner service the chief makes his rounds visiting. All six of us had amazing tasting and beautifully presented seafood.

    A Restaurant is a historic establishment in Newport Beach. The main dining room setting is mostly old fashion red leather half circle booths, comfortable and less noisy than the bar area. I had dinner there on a Sunday night. The staffs were all polite and attentive. I had octopus in many fine dining restaurants. Their Fried Spanish Octopus is the best. It was tender inside yet slightly crispy outside. The Hamachi Crudo had a nice presentation. The ribeye steak, mango cheesecake were all good. My server Steven made the dinner more enjoyable. I will definitely visit them again.

    We booked the restaurant through OpenTable for party of but changed to . The restaurant accommodated the change without issues. The reviews on OpenTable were mostly stars. They raved about the food. Unfortunately for us, the bone-in ribeye was the worst steak we’ve ever had. It did not tasted like it belongs in a steakhouse such as this. The drinks and appetizers tasted better . We did have good service. The noise level was outrageous. It’s as if we were dinning in a bar (the restaurant and bar are separated by a thin wall). We were practically shouting to be heard and we sat on the far end of the restaurant, away from the bar. It looked promising but we all agreed it’s not a place to return to, esp since there’s so many better tasting steakhouses in the area.
