My wife and I enjoyed a nice lunch a few steps from the sand in Newport Beach. The food is BJ's, meaning they feature different pizzas, salads, soups, seafood, sandwiches, and burgers you find in American cuisine restaurants. This location is a two-story building with seating areas on both levels. The food was good and consistent with other BJ's we have visited. The server was attentive and very pleasant.

Waterside eatery serving continental fare on a patio with a relaxed, modern vibe and ample views. Voted "Best Waterfront Restaurant" by OC Weekly!

What a wonderful dining experience! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is comfortable and inviting. The sommelier was knowledgeable, and the wine list extensive. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. Our table had the sea bass, lamb chops, and short ribs, and all raved about their entrees. Prices on the higher end but well worth the splurge! Bon Appetit!

Great location. Very relaxing atmosphere. The service is superb. Waiters were super kind. We went there for dinner. We ordered a steak and scallops. Both meals were very delicious. I would recommend coming bit earlier for the dinner so you can catch a sunset. It is a beautiful view. Prices are bit higher, but nothing extraordinary. Reasonable for the service and Newport Beach.

It was our first stop after we landed in Orange County. What a wonderful experience to have friendly people greet us and serve us delicious meals after a long flight! My wife said her falafel were the best sheâd ever had - small spheres and cooked to perfection. My friend is quite the foodie and said it was the best salad sheâd ever had! They serve breakfast until 3pm on the weekends. My steak kebab and eggs was cooked perfectly and fresh off the grill. Portions are generous, service is kind, quality of food was very high. Seems to be a favorite with the locals, which I would always prefer over some overpriced tourist spot. Definitely recommend swinging by for lunch. Plenty of street parking out front.

Tommy Bahama Island Grille is conveniently located in Corona del Mar Plaza, minutes from Fashion Island, John Wayne Airport, and of course, the beach! The upscale alternative to our Laguna Beach location features a fresh seafood, seasonal produce, and inn

Our family have been to many Tommy Bahama locations world-wide and truly enjoy the relaxing experience when eating there. Our experience at the Newport Beach location left a bad taste in our mouths. From the manager to the bus boy, terrible service all around. The only exception was a waitress named, Janelle. She was the only reason we decided to stick around and order. All other employees were rude and not friendly at all. Our experience was not relaxing and far from the customary Tommy Bahama experiences from the past. We will continue to dine with Tommy Bahama, but NEVER again at the Newport Beach location. I sure hope that Tommy Bahama corporate make a surprise visit to this location. Be sure to send someone that is non-white to do the investigation to get the real truth. It is definite that this location has a "whites only" unwritten policy and rudeness toward anyone that is non-white.

Nice views, great service and incredible awesome fish tacos. I tried the salmon taco, Mahi taco, and the lobster one... I would never say that out of Mexico I would enjoy tacos, but fish quality was so good.Things to improve, the âtortillasâ should be better (classical corn ones)
