Fantastic restaurant that offers stunning harbor views and great value. We came around sunset and the hostess seated us outdoors overlooking the harbor. As the sun set the windows started twinkling like stars. The food was also incredible, big portions and very fresh. Super friendly staff and chill atmosphere.

This is a good place for heavy comfort food by the water, but not my taste and not for my palette. Great view but old fashioned atmosphere with extra mediocre food. My grilled tacos were extremely plain and the flour tortillas not warm—hot sauce helped. My baked potato side was undercooked so that I couldn’t eat all of it. My friend’s burger was just okay; he didn’t even finish it. The lobster tail got good reviews, but was quite small.

My friends and I planned to visit Balboa Island for 2025 Christmas boat parade and holiday decorations, so we made a reservation here and had brunch near Balboa Pier. The location is excellent, it is right next to the ferry entrance, easy to find, with dedicated parking structure. Check-in is on the second floor, which has a bar, indoor seating, and a small outdoor area. We had five people and chose to sit outside. The outdoor space is narrow and works best for groups of five or fewer. They offer both happy hour (Mon-Fri, 2–5 PM) and a regular menu with plenty of options at reasonable prices. We ordered bread, pasta, burgers, and the clam chowder, everything was good. Friendly service, great views, such a perfect spot before taking the ferry to Balboa Island. 📍 Newport Landing Restaurant 503 Edgewater Pl, Newport Beach, CA 92661

Great food at very reasonable prices. Didn't feel price gauged like I expected in a vacation spot. We had the ceviche for $12, which was delicious and a healthy portion with plenty of seafood, not just veggies. Also had the Mahi sandwich, which had the largest fillet on a sandwich I've ever had. Service was amazing as well, drinks refilled before even having to ask, our waitress even found ginger beer for my husband when she initially thought they only had ginger ale. Above and beyond, a rarity these days.

Located in the heart of a bustling tourist hub, this restaurant really stands out among the surrounding fast-food options. The menu offers a thoughtful variety, and the view overlooking the bay and Lido island ferries. Full transparency, I was expecting a better fish and chips, especially for a spot in the Newport Beach area, but they more than redeemed themselves with an amazing clam chowder that was rich, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. My main course was swordfish, and it was cooked beautifully, moist, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a meal that feels a notch above the usual tourist fare, with a nice balance between location, atmosphere, and quality. Before I forget, thanks to Zach for an amazing service.
