    If you're looking for the perfect spot for a delightful brunch, Great Maple in Fashion Island is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and inviting decor set the tone for a fabulousmeal. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, catering to both classic and adventurous palates. Their hot honey fried chicken sandwich is delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. What truly makes Great Maple in Fashion Island shine, however, is the staff. Attentive, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic, they make the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're catching up with friends or treating yourself to a solo morning out, Great Maple offers a brunch experience that feels both luxurious and homey. I can't wait to return!

    A++++ Last night was my second visit, and it will not be my last. We requested the bar area. It was perfect for my two sons. It was her first visit.. I appreciate that the restaurant has different seating areas that you can try out and decide which is best. Food was amazing. Scallops and Chilean Sea bass wee cooked to perfection. My son’s medium + rib eye was right on point. We both wish they would offer the Porter house option.  Their cookies and cream gelato cake was a perfect ending.  I believe our waitress had too many tables,therefore it wasn’t the service level i experienced on my first visit.  definitely the best seafood and steakhouse. I believe in Orange County.

    The food and service was excellent as usual. The noise level was the only negative part of this visit. There were many holiday dinner parties in our dining room, and one was particularly loud. Our server Destiny was fabulous!

    Great spot in Newport Beach. It wasn’t too busy and the ambience was really nice with nice decorations inside. Food was great, but not the best sushi I’ve had for the price. I would go back again
