Best Fun Restaurants in Newport Beach

Julia went out of her way to get us an excellent table. Zack over exceeded expectations delivering high quality service with customer service excellence. He went out of his way to ensure that we had a meaningful and memorable first experience at Joey Newport Beach. I would recommend he and Julia for any guest who chooses to dine at this establishment Maintaining authenticity while serving clients is an art when present, should be valued and commended.

I had the pleasure of celebrating my 38th birthday at Ocean 48, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I was joined by a friend who was also celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s thoughtfulness and generosity stood out. One of the highlights of the evening was receiving personalized birthday cards from the team—a small but incredibly touching gesture that warmed our hearts. To our surprise, the thoughtfulness didn’t end there. The restaurant even called the next day to check in and ensure everything had gone well, which truly reflects their commitment to exceptional customer service. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We indulged in several dishes—almost the entire menu—and everything was absolutely delicious. Every bite showcased the chef’s expertise and attention to detail, making it difficult to pick a favorite. The manager and staff were the epitome of hospitality, setting a gold standard for customer service. Their attentiveness and genuine care turned our celebration into an extraordinary experience. I’m already looking forward to returning, this time with my mom, so she can also enjoy the amazing food and service. Ocean 48 is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that knows how to create lasting memories. If you’re looking for a special dining experience, this is it.

Had the best time at RH last night! The space is absolutely stunning, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Everyone—from the hostess to our incredible server, Ri—was professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Ri gave us some amazing recommendations, including the crispy artichoke (so good!) and the truffle fries, which were a hit. She truly made our evening special with her exceptional service and warm demeanor. The sunset views were breathtaking. We can’t wait to come back!

Food was great as usual. Shared the pate, which was very good. Plenty of pate, grilled whole grain bread, variety of fruits, pickled red onion, pickled green onion slices(first time having this-it was slightly sweet & tasty), & jam. For my entree,I ordered my usual Gorgonzola & Granny Smith apple with grilled chicken. MUCH better than my last visit. My only complaint last visit was the lone thin slice of apple. That’s correct. ONE slice of apple. Perhaps the kitchen supervisor was new(?). Anyway, the salad was great. My friend had the rare grilled tuna sandwich. VERY good. My last visit, my MIL had the same & was also very pleased with her choice. We will continue to be regular patrons. The food & service are great. The brief tour of the garden/nursery is a nice distraction from LA traffic & the hustle of city life.

It was absolutely delicious the food was excellent the service was fabulous I ate so much I was so full
