As a South Orange County local and photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing this resort evolve beautifully over the years. It stands out as a truly stunning venue for all kinds of gatherings, from impactful networking events to festive holiday parties and professional corporate functions

The combination of gorgeous views, elegant decor, and a serene poolside setting creates an unforgettable vibe.
However, the food, while good, felt a bit overrated for the price. The menu had some interesting options, but the quality didn’t fully justify the high cost. For the premium pricing, I was expecting something a bit more special in terms of flavor and presentation.
That said, it was still a good overall experience. I’d recommend it for the atmosphere and experience, but maybe temper your expectations when it comes to the food.

There is a gate before you go to Coliseum Pool & Grill, so you need to request to open the gate.
Servers are very kind, and valet parking is complimentary.
You can see a wide Newport Beach and the heated swimming pool at the same time. ♂️
It’s a very beautiful scenery.
In a late fall and winter time, outside is cold.
If you want to sit outside, you’d better wear warm clothings or request to bring some blankets.
I ate smoked salmon eggs benedict, and it was tasty.

The best thing was definitely the location, and the view from there. The service was on point, attentive and polite. Drinks were ok. The prime rib was very good and the salad was wonderful. Overall, highly recommended.

Great experience overall. Amazing views, well trained, courteous staff and very good food. I like their avocado toast for breakfast and brunch, it comes in 3 different flavors. My favorite is the Aleppo Spiced Yogurt Avocado toast with an egg on top. The Caprese Toast is also good.
Definitely a nice experience for the whole family.

I come here all the time. Around 2-3 times a month. My bill is always close to $200 or more whether I’m by myself or with people. I ordered a steak and fries (medium rare) it came out medium plus. My fiancé wanted me to bring her something on the way home, funny enough steak and fries as well. This is a $60 plate. Furthermore, her steak which was requested (medium rare) came out medium plus. This is a plate with a Filet, it should be top tier. Very sad. On top of this, they took my utensils away with my appetizer share plate. Brought my steak which was over cooked as well with the Brussels sprouts, but hey my fries were cold, and no utensils had to grab a new set from the table beside me. Also, took almost my entire business lunch for them to bring my friends a refill on club soda and just a simple thing of Ketchup for his wagyu burger. This was today at 12:15 for reservation under Sawyer Bechara. My to go order was made at the bar around 2:35-2:40. Oct. 17, 2025.
P.S – I’m loyal and will be back.

The ancient gain bowl was amazing! Loved the hummus, the sorbet, and the Brussels. Nothing is going to compare to this experience.
