Best Steakhouses in Newport Beach

I had the pleasure of celebrating my 38th birthday at Ocean 48, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable. I was joined by a friend who was also celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant went above and beyond to make our evening special. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s thoughtfulness and generosity stood out. One of the highlights of the evening was receiving personalized birthday cards from the team—a small but incredibly touching gesture that warmed our hearts. To our surprise, the thoughtfulness didn’t end there. The restaurant even called the next day to check in and ensure everything had gone well, which truly reflects their commitment to exceptional customer service. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. We indulged in several dishes—almost the entire menu—and everything was absolutely delicious. Every bite showcased the chef’s expertise and attention to detail, making it difficult to pick a favorite. The manager and staff were the epitome of hospitality, setting a gold standard for customer service. Their attentiveness and genuine care turned our celebration into an extraordinary experience. I’m already looking forward to returning, this time with my mom, so she can also enjoy the amazing food and service. Ocean 48 is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place that knows how to create lasting memories. If you’re looking for a special dining experience, this is it.

Wonderful meal. La Cave is a great place for a really ffine dinner, and that’s just what we had. Great evening overall.

We had an exceptional dining experience at Fleming’s in Newport Beach. Meaghan, our server, was absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and professional, making our evening even more special. We enjoyed the tomahawk steak! Every side dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The ambiance added to the charm of the evening, creating a delightful atmosphere. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to return.

Restaurant was beautiful service was amazing food was a total let down!

Billy’s At The Beach is a staple for fine dining aficionados. The ambiance, class and panoramic harbor views are second to none. The Huli Huli Chicken is my all time favorite and was sure to please for Christmas Eve. The Halibut was equally delicious and is a must try. Thank you, Sam and The Billy’s At The Beach Staff. You’re a class act. If I had one criticism it would be to consider working on the flooring, lighting and sound level in holidays. Some holidays the entertainment is crazy loud while others it’s dull with no live entertainment or music. Flooring wise I think better lighting placement would seamlessly blend the flooring versus is being bright and standing out.
