Good restaurant in Newport Beach

There's a new spot called Hush near laguna beach that's pretty cool... but for a nice meal, I've always enjoyed Gulfstream. Then, of course, there is 21 Oceanfront by NB Pier!

Byron

 

what about ritz-carlton laguna niguel, be very nice if some South Bay f-chatters organized a Lunch or Dinner there .

 

+1 for 21

also the harbor something or other next to the pavilions just below the promontory apartments. chase rolls and i haunted there. avoid 3thirty3 unless you are over 50 and have an 18 year old trophy wife.

 

We like the Daily Grill at Fashion Island. Not the one up towards Irvine on Jamboree Road.

 

black355 and i would disagree on that. last time we were there the service sucked (I punched out a window on an mbz of a lady that almost ran me over) plus you can't park your fcar anywhere near the place.

 

Maestros Ocean Club... amazing food and scenery....

Landmark in CDM has great food too....

Both are steakhouse/ chop house type rest.

Good luck

 

Mastro's Ocean Club hands down. If you like to people watch, do it on a Thursday.

 

I used to eat at Tutto Mare a lot when I was in town, but this was several years ago...

 

Is The Arches still good? The serve abalone..

 

Oyster's , on the corner of PCH and MacArthur in CDM. Save room for the homemade S'mores dessert.....

There is a similar thread on good Newport restaurants in the archives, last six months or so.

 

The Studio at the Montage is excellent.

 

Ah, yes, The Loft is excellent and the valets haven't messed up (or laughed at) my crusty old P******. If you need to impress someone who is into cheese, they have a very talented fromagiere. FWIW, my step-mother-in-law likes the Arches, which means that it has officially jumped the shark- I think there are many better choices.

 

I'm a big fan of Kantina on the peninsula, I have no complaints at Hush either..

 

OK, I missed the deadline. Regrets. Consider this joint. Ain't incredibly expensive and is very accommidatig re: parking of the car. Good food. Mama Gina's has good food and nice music in the PM. Check 'em out. They've a Web site. It's on PCH just south of the Ruben E. Lee. A potential place for a gathering.

 

Is the same place as The Golden Arches?

Hadn't realized the Filet O Fish was abalone!

 

ruth's chris steak house is amazingly good. they have a location in irvine, should try it some time.

 

It is just a bit more expensive but it all comes out the same in the wash!

 

I was there on Sat., they had a valet that let me park the car front row. 100yards from Daily grill just around the corner

 

crab cooker, but not for this thread.
