The clan chowder was amazing, the swordfish was not the best I’ve had but it was good and the bread and butter pudding was a bit too sweet for me. Overall the food was good. The service was polite but a bit weird and for the class of restaurant, not that good. Often times the waiter just walked away just after asking a question or when it should’ve been obvious you needed to tell him or ask him something. However, the view is really amazing and well worth a visit for that alone.

Prices are good. Drinks are good and price is good! View is great and the energy is positive! Older location is quite dated but the spot is my favorite to visit in the area!!! Parking is a nightmare often but after you get that straight it’s nice

Pretty restaurant on the harbor. Went with a group of 15 with a reservation and we were seated fairly quickly however the service after that was not great. We were out of water the whole time. Also when they brought out our food they just yelled what the food item was and had us call out who ordered it. Not very organized and not what I would expect with how expensive the food was. Also they wouldn’t split the tab at all. The redeeming factor was the clam chowder in the bread bowl was very very good. Also VERY filling. I liked how they really emptied the bread bowl.

We were excited to try this restaurant for our first dinner stop in Irvine, but were left very disappointed. First, the hostess sat us right next to the noisiest dinner party of about 20-30 or so people. The rest of the restaurant was practically empty so I’m not sure about the reasoning for that. We promptly asked to be moved to a different spot since we could barely hear each other talking. Next, our server never introduced himself, offered any kind of guidance to the menu, or even really greeted us at all. As soon as he brought our waters he simply asked “are you ready to order?” The food did come very quickly and was quite delicious – we got the clam chowder and split the fish and chips with garlic truffle fries, which was all more than enough for two people. After that, our server never checked on us and it took about 30 minutes to receive a to-go box and the check once we had asked. 30 minutes for the check? That’s insane. We will not return. Very poor service.

Celebrated my mom’s birthday and retirement and we all enjoyed our meals and service we received. Definitely recommend seat with a view. Was originally recommended by family to check out happy hour in the bar. The restaurant surprised us with a small birthday dessert as well which was great!

Went here to grab lunch after some whale watching and it was such a great decision! Our waiter Felix was so polite and attentive. The food was amazing too, especially the Coconut Shrimp in the Half and Half and the Italian Cherry Margarita The ocean view is an awesome bonus

Great service! Food was really good! The happy hour drink menu was great too. I had the swordfish tuna steak very tasty! The aquarium up front had the puffer fish! If you sit at the bar you get the happy hour food and drink menu.

We stumbled across this place by accident. We were in Newport Beach and had been to a furniture consignment store and a plant nursery then drove down to the park on the beach. We wanted food and a simple search for “fish restaurant” revealed two nearby. We were looking at one of them without realizing it… So be careful of that… It’s a large restaurant but it is hidden down a side street.

Anyway, back to the food. We had the poke nachos to start… Excellent raw tuna and scallions, avocado with wasabi glaze and puffy tortilla chips. An excellent choice… Surprisingly light

Main course, my wife had the seafood linguini with mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp, etc. A huge bowl which I helped her out with. Way too much pasta for our digestive systems, but if you want a pasta feast then this would be a great choice.

I had the half and half, which is fish and chips with butterfly shrimp, cole slaw and French fries. The tartar sauce was possibly the best I’ve ever had… Very interesting and the butterfly shrimp came with a mango dressing. Excellent variation on the fish and chips theme and I didn’t put any salt or vinegar on it, just lemon. Whaaaat? 🙂

On the way to be seated I had asked a kind lady what dessert she was eating. It was the ‘mud pie”… So we shared one of those. My wife shared two mouthfuls and I ate the rest. It was a lot of pie and my sugar rush is still going on as I write this. But I recommend any group should share one of the mud pies… It has everything in it. Like a cookies and cream ice cream from the grocery store but with 5 other ingredients AND home made!!!! I’m not big on desserts, but I would order that again.

Staff were all very pleasant and attentive. Just the right amount of friendliness without intruding…. Balanced.

Here’s some snapshots…

Very clean and fancy bar and restaurant, came and got the house beer and a Mahi taco and the harborside blonde draft and both were on the happy hour menu (everyday 11:30am-6pm) and they were both very good! and they had a lot of great options of food and drinks is for happy hour which was a plus, server named was Allison who was super cool and very nice and awesome at giving me top recommendations for what to eat and she was awesome

They definitely have an awesome view of the water and the environment was a bit quiet but chill and respectful, highly recommend trying this place out! Also they have gift shops and other good spots right near here as well!
