Best Date Night Restaurants in Newport

This was our first time at Salt Creek Grille. The food and drinks are excellent. We did have one of our drinks come out not tasting that good and once asking the server she gladly went and had another made without a smile on her face which is amazing. Cory the server had made great recommendations and was a pleasure to have as our server. Top notch service.

Fabulous experience. Service was amazing. Food was excellent and the presentation was delectable. Plenty of sumptuous choices on the menu. We had warm pakoras topped with whipped yoghurt for an appetizer. Delicious! For the main course, we had the curry sampler with Afghani Chicken. Although it said served two, there was plenty for 4 seniors with leftovers to take home! Overall a wonderful dinner at a great location with great ambiance!! Would highly recommended it. Definitely pricey but well worth the extra touches.

You have to try the Chart House for the holidays! Their special holiday menu offered many selections- there was something for everyone! I had the New York Strip steak medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. Others in our party had the Chilean sea bass with lobster risotto and raved about it! The service was excellent and well paced! Our experience at The Chart House made a great Christmas memory! And you can’t beat the view of the Dana Point Harbor! Merry Christmas everyone!

Very happy I chose Coastal Kitchen to bring my son and his family for our Christmas celebration. They had never been here and raved about the food! Entrees ordered were the ahi salad, the ahi entree, pork chop (it was huge!), ribs, and my personal favorite, the salmon. All were delicious! And, of course, we had to order the key lime pie--better than Tommy Bahamas; the crust is amazing!

Food is excellent as always. Truly pizza may truly have the best pizza in OC if not SoCal. Service is great. All the servers are so nice and accommodating. The price point is also fairly decent. Cocktails are good, and the ambience is very cozy.
