This place is rocking! At 5:45 on a Sunday it had a 1.5-2 hour wait! Glad we had a reservation.
It lived up to the hype.
The food was delicious, the waitstaff was friendly and informed without being intrusive.
Problems were solved with a smile.
I highly recommend

Had the tuna salad and the rotisserie chicken with wild rice.
Both were just ok.
Wild rice was a little hard.
Atmosphere though? Very pleasant.
I’ll be back to try more.

Wow! Amazing food, great service and a cool vibe. Pretty perfect experience all round. We got the Oysters – incredible! The blackened shrimp were delicious in a really tasty rich sauce. And the red trout was so succulent and juicy – unreal.
Highly recommend… we’ll be going back!

First and foremost service today was AMAZING! Friendly, helpful, and very attentive to our needs almost before we knew we needed something! We order vodka Gimlets from the bar as we sat down and they came quickly and were SO good. They delivered them to the table in a frosted very cold martini glass and when my drink was half way gone they brought a second frosted cup to switch it to, to keep it chilled! Food was amazing. We tried their biscuits for an appetizer. Biscuits had good layers, were very flavorful and served with butter and honey. For dinner I ordered the barbecue shrimp and my husband ordered the sole fish and fries. My shrimp were so good, the barbecue flavor was on point and was very good with the basmati rice and veggies. Also came with sourdough bread which was very good and buttery! My husband’s fish was battered lightly with panko and was extremely fresh and flavorful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would definitely go back again. We saw a few salads go by our table that looked amazing and I’d love to return to try one of those too!

Had a great experience at Gulfstream in Newport Beach! I sat at the bar this time, which was nice, but I’m definitely coming back to try their outdoor patio, it looks beautiful and relaxing. I ordered a sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was incredibly tender and full of flavor. The service was attentive and the ambiance upscale yet comfortable.
That said, the prices are definitely on the higher end, and it can get a bit crowded during peak hours, so be prepared for a wait if you don’t have a reservation. Still, the food and overall vibe make it worth a return visit.

Gulfstream is a classic go-to spot in Newport Beach, nice ambiance and definitely one of our favorites. Heads up it gets really busy, so make a reservation ahead of time because this place is packed no matter what time you go. We came by on a Saturday for an early dinner, and it was already buzzing. Even with the chaos, the staff was super attentive and on top of everything. It’s clear why the locals love this place because it always delivers. We kicked things off with our usual: the Smoked Trout Dip. It’s got just the right amount of smokiness and balanced flavor it is such a solid way to start the meal. For my main, I went with the Red Trout and a side of Kale Salad. This combo is always a winner it is light, flavorful, and just consistently 10/10. My boyfriend went with the Dover Sole and also got the Kale Salad on the side. He enjoyed it, but mentioned he still prefers the flavors of the Red Trout overall. The dessert Sundae was a treat! Not on the menu but they do have it available if requested.
Drinks (cocktails and wine) were great too. We always have a good time here, and if you give it a shot, I’m pretty sure you will too.

Food was delicious and service good. The place seems busy most of the time, so making a reservation is highly recommended.
The biscuits were a nice way to start the meal, the salty/savory with the sweet (add honey) were delicious. The open faces, use a knife and fork tuna burger was also great. The slaw was ok, and a little too mayonnaisey. It was a little boring, and in future I will opt for fries.

No birthday cake is allowed to be served here. I had brought my friend’s favorite cake to celebrate her birthday and had no clue this is against restaurant’s policy which is the first time I’m hearing about it after so many birthday celebrations locally and internationally.
I still could be fine with it as long as it was noted on the website or on the guidelines which was texted along with reservation info. After talking to one of the managers he also mentioned that they need to make sure to share this info online or through text to avoid any further inconvenience for future costumers.
