Best Restaurants for Foodies in Newport

Bloom is located directly across the street from the Mission San Juan Capistrano and was a convenient choice to dine at before Capistrano Nights. However, their flavorful food and attention to detail ended up being a much welcomed surprise. With so many restaurants to choose from within the block, they definitely stand out on service and professionalism alone. I will definitely be back.

Wonderful cozy vibe with terrific service. Every appetizer and entree was delicious and presented beautifully. Cocktails were also fun and unique. Taylor took great care of us and answered any questions we had about how the menu items were prepared. The live music was definitely a treat. The restaurant was nicely decorated for the holidays, which added to the festive atmosphere. Great evening out!

Great restaurant experience. Food is excellent. Been going here for years with groups and it never disappoints.

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.

We love Starfish! Having said that, the last time we were there the food, which usually is great, wasn’t. Tonight, they were BACK!!! Every dish and cocktail we ordered was over the top yummy!! The edamame was garlicky and spicy and fresh and super tasty. We also ordered the calamari, the Bah Mi sliders, the lettuce wraps, the Korean tacos, pot stickers and the satay beef skewers. Each dish was 8 thumbs up!!! (There were 4 of us). The place was super busy too but our server was spot on!
