Newport Beach
Seafood
Established in 1999, this trendy restaurant has an open kitchen, comfortable booths, and outdoor seating. The patio is a fantastic place to hang out to enjoy a shrimp cocktail and glass of wine. They make heavenly biscuits, shucked oysters, grilled California artichokes, pan-seared ahi tuna burger, New Orleans barbecue shrimp, and a cedar plank-roasted salmon. It gets noisy near the bar area, so come early or retreat onto the patio if you prefer a quieter spot.
