Love the atmosphere. Very clean, lighting sets an ambiance. Ordered a cucumber margarita that did not disappoint. The hummus was the best I’ve ever tasted. Open late on a Sunday evening, we arrived at 9 and received amazing service. Great music playing. Vanessa was our server, go dodgers! She was so polite and prompt. She offered us extra pita for our hummus. What a gal. Eddie helped the server. He was also great! Let’s not mention the delicious filet kabobs… to die for! Thanks for the Great time !

Came here on a Thursday night, not very busy of course. The food was good, just good Mediterranean food. The cocktails were ok, maybe just the cdm special wasn’t great. The music was the hit of the night. Moise was great. Loved his music. Will come back when he’s playing again.

Port Restaurant & Bar is an absolute gem in Corona del Mar! From the moment we walked in, we were swept away by the warm ambiance, live music, and ocean-inspired charm. The Mediterranean-inspired menu is phenomenal. Every dish bursts with fresh flavor and artistry. The cocktails are handcrafted and the wine list is top-notch, perfectly pairing with the food.
Service is impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Whether for date night, a celebration, or just a relaxing evening, Port delivers an unforgettable experience. This isn’t just dining, it’s where amazing food, music, and atmosphere come together. A must-visit in Newport Beach!

I went on Mother’s Day 2022, and in terms of positives, the food is very good! Port is a perfect restaurant for mobile orders or eating at home. But everything was very expensive and the service was abismal. It felt like we had to fight for our waiter’s attention, despite the restaurant being only 1/4 occupied. I believe part of this is the fact that a 20% gratuity is built into the bill, so the servers have little incentive to provide good service since their tip does not depend on it. Also, the music was very loud to the point where it was difficult to communicate with the waitstaff and those sitting at the same table.

I had no idea The Port existed until a friend from Corona del Mar invited me out for their Monday night karaoke—and I’m so glad they did. This place is such a hidden gem. It’s a restaurant and bar by day, and on Monday nights it transforms into a lively, local karaoke scene filled with regulars and good vibes.
I sang a couple of songs, the DJ was fantastic, and the energy was just pure fun. We also ordered a bunch of food: cauliflower nachos, spicy hummus, a kebab plate, and a salad. Honestly, I was surprised by how delicious everything was, especially considering it has more of a bar-style atmosphere. The drinks were solid too—my dirty martini was perfect, and my friend’s tequila on the rocks hit the spot.
The staff was quick, friendly, and on top of it. Prices were very reasonable. As for parking, you can usually find a spot on the street or in the nearby neighborhoods—just keep an eye on signs so you don’t get ticketed. All in all, an awesome spot for a fun and flavorful night out. I’ll definitely be back.
