Celebrated my birthday at the Dock. First time visiting the restaurant and the highlight of my experience was the service, food, ambiance and Erik who exceeded my expectations. The staff are amazing, the food was delicious and the view spectacular! Well done

The Dock in Newport Beach is the kind of place that quietly stuns you—from the floating dock and golden-hour views to the food, drinks, and warm hospitality that makes you want to linger just a little longer.
We had the dreamiest sunset dinner, and Tiffany And made the whole night even better with her kind, attentive service and incredible recommendations. She even coordinated with the chef to customize my order exactly the way I wanted it—so rare to feel that genuinely cared for.
And let’s talk cocktails. Asa, the mixologist, is a total artist behind the bar. Not only did he mix me a perfect Last Word with green Chartreuse, but he used Monkey 47 gin without me even asking. That’s the level of detail and pride this team brings.
Food was just as impressive. The little gem salad with jalapeño was fresh and punchy. I ordered the Ora King salmon well done (still perfectly moist), and the halibut with lemon sauce on the side was light and buttery. But the real surprise? The bread pudding. I don’t even like bread pudding… and I devoured it. Warm, golden edges, melty center, topped with ice cream—it’s a must.
Between the views, the vibe, and a team that truly cares—The Dock is now one of my favorite spots in Newport. Already planning my return.

Every detail of our dinner was 10/10. The staff was extremely attentive to filling our drinks, bussing our table and just making our experience memorable. We had an amazing peach burrata and pesto salad and then scallops over risotto for the main course. Exceptional food and really enjoyed the outdoor patio on the bay. Can’t wait to go back for another date night!

There are only 14 tables, but the staff were wonderful. The prices demand it but you will get attentive service. And the ambience is spectacular. You get to sit by a dock with water right next to you. It is a very romantic place. They don’t have any loud music which is great. Their wine list is extensive. And with the corkage being $75 may as well try their wines.
The cuisine is French, which I love. The scallops were perfect. I did not like the gravy as much as it tasted overly sweet. The pork loin was only OK because it could be more tender and it was a little dry. The brioche bread pudding is good though I make it better. I loved the mushroom soup.

The Spanish Crispy Octopus was the BEST octopus I’ve ever had! The sauce with the octopus was so delicious and flavorful! We stumbled upon The Dock while visiting Newport and the restaurant is such a gem. The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly & kind. Our server Frankie was great, along with the rest of the team. I will be visiting Newport again just to come back to the dock! I can not wait to try the Duck, Fish Of The Day, & Lamb! Thank You!

My wife and I have had the dock on our list of restaurants we wanted to visit for years and we finally made it in this weekend and it was better than we imagined.
Venue – from the outside it’s super low key but once you’re in you see a beautiful entry into a large yet intimate sitting area with beautiful views of the bay. We sat in the left corner in a very comfortable spot and although I did want to sit closer to the water with a view within 10 min fell in love with our spot. Super cozy and private and not too chilly as the night progressed.
Service – multiple staff made sure we had a great experience. Our waiter, Eric and his partner, Aldo were awesome. Both very attentive and passionate about what they did and how they wanted to help. Full of life, big smiles, and on top of it. Eric had the food memorized inside and out and described everything with such enthusiasm that we wanted to order everything. Aldo was the perfect add on to ensure our dining experience was flawless with new silverware, plates, and additional advice.
Food – 10/10 so bomb. Everything we ate was incredible. We had the gem salad, Maryland crab beignet, I got the off menu halibut with risotto and my wife got the king salmon that was literally melt in your mouth fatty salmony goodness….lets just say we left very satisfied. Hats off to the chef! We washed it all down with a nice glass of Pinot and a classic dirty martini! (PS, Eric owes me a blue cheese olive )
All in all we will be back. No doubt! I loved how low key and easy it was, parking was simple and we had a great time. Fair prices compared to quality. Top notch.
Thank you to all who took care of us!

It was a very good meal. We always share everything and usually get a few first course dishes, one or two seconds, depending how we feel after the few firsts and then one dessert.
We started with the Japanese Hamachi Sashimi, which was really fresh and had incredible flavor. Loved the passion fruit miso dressing.
We then moved onto the Crispy Kurobuta Pork Belly The flavors were really good, but the pork belly itself was overcooked. I personally would of executed the cooking of the pork belly differently, but keep everything else on the plate the exact same. The combo of the coconut foam and charred pineapple was awesome. I think it could use some macadamia nuts for texture, but it was still a great tasting dish.
The Charred Little Gem salad was a nice precursor to our main dish.
Our main was the Maple Leaf Farm Duck Breast. The duck was tender and perfectly cooked. The gnocchi was a little mushy, but pairing it with the Davao beans help balance the texture. Like the balsamic figs and the slight sweetness it gave the dish.
We finished with the Brioche Bread Pudding. We were planning on getting the molten chocolate cake as well, but we were so full that we had to decide on just one dessert and we definitely made the right decision going with the bread pudding. It was the best thing we ate all night. All the components were simple in theory, but they were perfectly executed. Could if eaten a couple of these if we weren’t so full. To bad you can’t really come here for an espresso and one of these.
Overall, we really enjoyed the meal, service and amazing location.

Stumbled upon this place on accident, we were not dressed for the occasion at all- I was in a tank top with all my tattoos showing and my girlfriend in a sweater and hat. Despite not having a reservation or being dressed, they still politely accommodated us and gave us excellent service. Food was delicious and the drinks perfect. Highly recommend to anyone, and huge thanks to the staff for making us feel welcome!

The food is amazing! The first time we came here all three of us ordered Scallops with Risotto and Brussels Sprouts. The dish was delicious. Last night was our second time eating at The Dock: my friend had Scallops and loved them. My husband had steak, which was tender and perfectly seared with wonderful potatoes. I had the most delicious beet salad and halibut. As I am a very good cook, when I eat out I most often feel like I should have stayed home and cooked. Not at The Dock! They create magic in that kitchen!!!!

Great food, service and ambiance! We went yesterday for a birthday brunch and they were so nice about us running a little late. The drinks were delicious and the food was on point. Our service was awesome! I highly recommended this spot! The parking was not bad either.
