Some More Cool Places to Check Out
Newport Beach is the epitome of luxury and charm. A coastal haven known for picturesque boutiques, tranquil waters, and a shoreline that stretches as far as the eye can see. Like any great place on Earth, it has some lovely restaurants to choose from as well. We’ve handpicked a few places for food near Newport Beach that we found super interesting.
Jolie Restaurant and Rooftop
A restaurant created for the people of Orange County: A classic American cookery, with seasonal fare complemented by an exemplary bar offering in an upbeat yet elevated setting. Diners report captivating sunsets, exemplary service, and delicious sangrias.
They have a menu with loads of variety. Their Fork & Knife burger, Shrimp and Noodle burger (which looks as interesting as it sounds) and the Steak Salad are a good place to start!
The Dock
Hidden away on a quiet street, The Dock, adorned with bright lights will catch your eye. When you enter, you’ll be warmly greeted by your host who’ll guide you. The setting is the perfect Bayside location, right on the water with a private dock in case you want to sail up to dinner! The room is intimate without being crowded or loud. Our recommendation? Try their pork chop, as an appetizer the scallops wrapped in bacon. Topping it all off with their delicious affogato for dessert.
Bluewater grill
They say once you enter, you’ll get hooked (pun intended). The Bluewater grill is located on an expansive waterfront patio with a full bar, and happy hour, and is pet-friendly as well. Their mission is to serve great food in a relaxed environment by friendly people at a fair price. They believe that fin-tastic hospitality is all about authentic relationships.

They have an open patio that features redactable sections of the roof and a bar. Providing coverage with the option to be open to the sky.
