- AAliceOrange County •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe are all pleasantly surprised that the Beachcomber wasn’t just beach food.. The cocktails were yummly and the food was delicious. We had the ahi nachos, lobster rolls & artichoke as appetizers. Main dishes included cioppino, short rib, ahi over zucchini spaghetti and shrimp linguine. The best was their dessert.. The brownie that had a huge toasted marshmallow on top.. So good and the beignets we also tasty. Potions for all foods were healthy. We will return during the day to enjoy the scenery.. Hearing the waves were just as great and relaxing.More infoBeachcomber Cafe - Crystal CovePrice: Moderate• Californian• Newport Beach•4.8
- CCarolineLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHad a horrible experience and Nobu Malibu, so I went here ready to criticize everything, and to my surprise, I had a LOVELY time. Wonderful food, service, ambience, everything. Highly recommend for date night. Beware, families do bring their screaming babies here, but other than that, loved the place.More infoNobu NewportPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Newport Beach•4.7

- SSuzannevipLos Angeles •67 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoI arranged a birthday lunch for my friend who drive down from LA. We sat at a lovely table on the deck overlooking the water and boats. We order the oysters with shallots which were chilled and delicious. Then we split two sushi rolls and the fish tacos (3 in a plate with black beans) . Our waitress was delightful and everyone from the hostess to the busboys were terrific! I think it was worth every penny and I’ll be back again and again. It’s a favorite of mine and I’ve been coming for over 40 years!! 🍣🐬😄💕More infoThe CanneryPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Newport Beach•4.8
