The restaurant was beautifully decorated with a modern aesthetic and great views of yachts in the marina. We ordered the cioppino, ahi tuna, and the Wagyu burger, all of which were excellent. We also enjoyed bottomless sparkling wine.
The staff was attentive, and our glasses were never empty.
Unfortunately, the visit ended on a sour note. After spending an extra 10 minutes picking up pastries and coffee next door, the valet attendant gave us a hard time for not notifying him. He warned us that next time we’d be charged $25. Well, guess what—there won’t be a next time. The attitude was unnecessary and left a bad taste after an otherwise great meal.
Edit: owner messaged and clarified that the valet was operated by the property management company. I do believe this restaurant deserves a higher rating and we will come back and try again next time.

Louie’s by the Bay is a total gem. The location is amazing, situated right on the water. I came in for happy hour and ordered the meatballs, which were to die for.
What stood out just as much as the food was the service. It was a total team effort—from the server to the runner—and everyone was incredibly polite and on top of things. One server even noticed my table was a little wobbly and immediately grabbed a piece of cardboard to shore up the foot. It’s that kind of proactive attention to detail that makes for a truly high-quality experience.
If you go, definitely try to get a table outside next to the fire pit. Enjoying the bay view while feeling the warmth of the fire was an absolutely delightful experience.

They have a great location, but overall, I was disappointed with the food. The drinks were good but the food was not acceptable. I was disappointed with the steak’s flavor; it tasted underseasoned and lacked any flavor. The presentation was even worse, as seen in the picture. A few other folks from our group ordered the steak and had the same opinion. The desert was good.

Food was amazing! Service was top notch. The chowder was my favorite. The steak is a must try. Nice place for a special occasion. Locals looked like they love it. It’s pricey so please take note of that. The views of the water with the boats just added to the entire experience.

We had our company’s Christmas party here and the food was amazing. We were given a Lobster upgrade to our meal choice (Filet Mignon or Salmon) and the Lobsters were massive. Sitting on the deck was great also to watch the boat parade scoot across the bay as well. The only bummer of the night was the valet – we got told when we arrived that there was no space and to go park across the street at Wells Fargo

Andy made a great meal even greater! Just moved Louie’s to the top of my list for the area’s best restaurant! You will be pleasantly surprised! I had the pork chop, it was BOMB! Wifee had the filet which was prepared perfectly!

If you’re a seafood lover combined with Italian in Orange County, this restaurant is a must try! The decor is rustic. It almost feels like entering a Big Bear getaway. I was here for dinner but I’m sure during the day it’ll be a whole different vibe with the dock views, etc.
Service was great, the person helping us out was on top of all the service specials and was very attentive.
The Eggplant Parmesan is a must try for appetizers. The mains were good for the most part. They had a seared scallop on special. Also tried the pesto pasta with chicken which was bomb. The chicken parm is not what I would highly recommend. We really wanted to try the Lobster Ravioli but they had sold out. Will definitely come back for more.

What a disappointment breakfast was!
We were looking forward to a nice breakfast after the passing of a family member so we picked this place since we love the water and Newport Beach. We heard their happy hour is fabulous but they sure missed with their brunch.
Trying to be good and healthy so I ordered the sea bass over cauliflower. Super bland, needed salt & pepper but it still didn’t help.
My second choice would have been the quiche. My friend ordered it and was also disappointed. Bland and flavorless.
So much for being good (and still hungry) we opted for the dessert trio. So THIS was amazing! I can’t even decide which of the 3 we liked best because we devoured the ENTIRE plate!
The espresso martini was a hit, too. Just a big miss with the meal. And to top it off, it was $150 EACH! Yikes! Hoping the hubby doesn’t read this review!

We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. We were late getting our reserved table, so our hostess Rachel (?) delivered a special treat to our table as a thanks for our patience. The dinners and drinks were great and our server Ernest was so attentive. We felt very special. Highly recommend!

Fabulous service and very attentive. The restaurant overlooks Newport Bay. Very cute and cozy. Well kept restaurant. Service was top notch!
Food was fantastic. Fresh made. Every dish was very delicious and carefully made. The oysters were Fanny Bay. We ordered the Fritto Misto, oysters, risotto, and the veggie quiche. All were tasty.
The Fritto Misto is a must get! The batter on it was perfectly coated. The zucchini was so fresh, crispy, juicy but there were only 2 pieces in the plate!
Parking is only valet. The dining area was very organized and well kept. I would definitely come back again. Service was phenomenal. You will definitely enjoy yourself!
