Best Restaurants for People Watching in Newport Beach

Everything from drinks to appetizers and dinner were outstanding. I had the Baseball cut, the filet was delicious, cooked to perfection, friends had the short ribs and salmon which were cooked and tasted amazing!

Our server Paul was excellent. The food was delicious. We asked for the Brussels sprouts which wasn’t on the menu and they did accommodate us and it also was delicious. We ended up in the cellar for our table. We were very close to another table and the couple were very loud. We had trouble hearing ourselves. That was the only downside. We would definitely go back but just not seated in the cellar. The valet parking was very convenient.

Ambience was great (we sat on the patio, there were heaters and a fire pit), our server Jenny was delightful, and the food, both presentation and taste, was wonderful! (We had the truffle fries, steak & tuna sushi, and the molton lava cake.) The patio wasn’t very busy, as it was a Monday night. Everything was top notch, right down to the glass of champagne when we arrived! Love that! We’ll definitely come back again!

As always, dinner was unbelievable. Every member of my family chooses Sushi Roku for their special occasion and every single time, it is unbelievable. It is the most consistent experience we have at any restaurant. The food and service is incredible. We truly order the exact same thing every time which you would think would get old but it doesn't. We start with Miso soup and edamame. Then we have the Brussels Sprout chips and Shishito Peppers. We close out with a lot of orders of yellowtail which truly could count as dessert, albacore, spicy tuna Hanabi and a Tuna Jalapeno roll.

Location, location, location! View, view, view! Friendly people and service.
