We just moved to the area and stopped in on Friday night -- what a find! My husband ordered the veggie pizza, loaded with fresh, flavorful toppings, and I had the kale and quinoa salad with salmon added. The salad was really interesting: fresh and hearty, with some mint that gave it a really nice, unexpected brightness. The salmon (about 4 oz) was tender and perfectly cooked. But honestly, the food was only part of what made the night special. The hospitality here is next-level. Our server Jordan was friendly and genuine, our busboy Javier was incredibly attentive, and another server even swung by just to check in on us. The manager was out on the floor and clearly engaged with what was happening at every table. I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant staff work together so seamlessly, cheerfully, and attentively -- it was remarkable to watch. When we mentioned to the manager how impressed we were with the staff, he came back to our table with a free cookie -- a small gesture, but it summed up the hospitality of the place. We've found our new regular spot. Looking forward to returning. read more

We found that champagnes kitchen's five (5) lemon ricotta beignets were somewhat disappointing. They were simply donut hole sized, oil laden deep fried dough bas. It probably was our aversion to leaky, grease laden fried foods? As for favor, once some of the excess grease was removed and drained on a paper napkin, they were okay. I've been to Cafe Du Monde in N'awlins and had the best beignets in the U.S of A ( I'm obviously very opinionated.) a beignet isn't just a deep fried, greasy donut hole. Plus unfortunately their coffee (black) was not what I'd call good. (Restaurant Farmers brand coffee is the best) if they use Farmers, they screed it up big toe. Even the bitter roasted chicory "coffee" served in the old South's N'awlins restaurant's is lot'sa Mo bettah. Mind you, remember I warned you that I was very opinionated. Sorry bout the negativity and bad review but the truth sometimes hurts! I'm reminded of the Latin maxim..., "De gustibus non est disputandum". Or if your into French..., "À chacun son goût" "Differ'nt strokes for differ'nt folks. Now dat's whut I'm tawlkin bout Willis. read more

Champagnes Kitchen - These are real beignets. No grease on the pate. Big, fluffy, hot and deeelicious. Laissez les bons temps rouler. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Kaitlyn deserves a huge shout out! I called with a complicated order and she was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. She even suggested a better ordering platform so I could make the changes I needed. The best part was that after I placed my order, she noticed something didn't look right and actually called to make sure I was getting my delivery correct. That level of attention and care is so rare these days. Champagnes Kitchen is always great, but Kaitlyn truly went above and beyond. She is warm, professional, and provides some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. Thank you, Kaitlyn! read more

Loved the California Cobb salad- I got it to go and asked for no tomatoes and this was not followed and could have used some more dressing. Would come back as it was made in time and tasted good. read more

nika was amazing she was super nice, friendly and attentive. food was great too! We sat outside and it was nice perfect tempature

Brett and team do a great job... always a consistent quality experience! Food and Drinks are good !

I've been coming here a couple times for years now. Each time it has been a pleasant experience. If you are dining in, you can find a table and sit down. I did make reservations, which I'm not sure I needed. Since all the tables were full, luckily they were able to find a table for us. I really wanted to try the restaurant week menu which looked delicious to me. I'm a huge fan of lemon and when I saw this dessert, I knew I had to try it. We also got the Caesar salad, which was very crisp and fresh. I opted for the salmon, and it was delicious! I would totally get it again. My friend has a tri-tip and really enjoyed that as well. The green beans were very tasty too. The lemon tart was my favorite. Refreshing and tangy. Definitely a great deal! The salads are also very good that I've had here as well. Definitely worth a visit. SYOY! read more

Stopped by for quick lunch meeting. Cute spot with indoor and outdoor seating and a market corner with wine and other beverages. I had the chicken almond sandwich which was good. The sandwich includes choice of protein and bread with lettuce, tomato, onion, and dressing. Then add-on pricing for any additional toppings. Would come back again to try their other menu items. read more

My family and I visited this restaurant for my in-laws' anniversary. It was one of the best experiences. The food was delicious and the service team was accommodating and friendly. We had just finished a whale watch experience and wanted some good food before heading back home. When in the Newport Beach area again - this is a great place to go. No health violations - way to go Team! This is really important to our family. read more

Sandwiches are good here. Like the tuna melt. Pizza is passable. Food can sometimes take awhile. Crowded during peak times. Nice for a casual lunch. read more

I can't say enough great things about Champagnes Kitchen--it really is a neighborhood gem. The vibe is always easy and welcoming, and Francisco is one of the reasons we keep coming back. He's super friendly, attentive without hovering, and just makes everything feel smooth and comfortable. It's the kind of service that makes you feel like a regular. We also love their happy hour--great deals and a perfect way to unwind. And the pizza is always on point--consistently delicious and definitely something we look forward to. Overall, just a great local spot with good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and really solid service. Highly recommend. read more

Never fails, food is always good, large portions and great service. Yesterday we ordered the Cobb salad and a chicken Caesar salad with a side order of fries, always spot on! read more

This is my second visit and it was as good as the first. They have an extensive menu while not being intimidating i.e. there is something for everyone. My friends opted for salads, which looked fantastic, while I had the margarita pizza (extra basil). Nice selection of wine and beer, and a shout out to Levendi winery for the tasting. read more

We love the food, service and ambiance at champagnes. The tomato soup, ceasar salad, chicken piccata, and tuna sandwhich are some personal favorites, but you really cannot go wrong! They have an excellent children's menu with extremely reasonable prices. David has always taken such wonderful care of our family, he is incredibly knowledgeable of the food items and wine options- and really takes care of everyone with exceptional service. We love sitting on the patio, great lighting and music as well. It does get super busy at dinnertime, but the food always arrives quickly. We really enjoy eating here not just because the food is outstanding, but because each employee greets us with a smile on their face. We eat here at least once a week and love the wine specials. Kids chicken tenders are literally the best in town FYI. Thank you David and staff for always being so awesome and treating us like family! read more

I joined a new app called "InKind" which offers discounts and noticed Champagnes Kitchen was on the list and thought I would give it a try. Ordered the Mediterranean salad with chicken for my wife and the Southwestern French dip for myself. Both were tasty and well prepared and the service was friendly and prompt. Will definitely return and try the Mediterranean omelette the next time (breakfast ends at 11-maybe extending it to 12 would be nice as many restaurants offer breakfast even all day). read more

A quick to go lunch with an unexpected delicious treat included. Service is quick, friendly and efficient. Kaitlyn took my order and was so pleasant and courteous. I ordered the honey maple turkey on baguette, with provolone, lite mayo and mustard. The sandwich was sizable, enough to share and delicious. The turkey comes shaved thin and stacked on bread. I opted for a chocolate chunk cookie that was on the counter. It's large and one of the best cookies I've had in a very long time. Soooooo Goood and at $4.00 it's a great bargain. Chewy, soft and like what grama would make. I like coming for a quick bite. Parking is easy, service is excellent and the food satisfying. Sorry no pics this time around read more

Ordered chicken and rice soup however there was no rice in the soup and when I asked them, they told me that this is how they serve it very disappointing. Also, the French dip tasted likel leather. The food used to be decent, but now it is not. read more

This place is amazing. They treated us like family- we were a large party and they handled all of our needs with ease. They made the birthday celebration memorable. read more

WOW what a fantastic replacement for ihop! Went with the fam on locals soft opening and were absolutely delighted! This will be our go to spot for dates or when family visits and we want convenient, upscale, healthy, local & high value! I think it was Haley's fist night serving ever and she handled the opening hiccups like a champ as did the manager, Jacob(??)! We had to bail early and cancel 1 burger as kitchen was backed up, but they took care of us like family and sent it home with us comped, thanks! I don't normally order burgers out- it's the safe bet wife often gets but I was stoked I followed suit. Since pizza and pot pie were out (a good sign/can't wait to return) we ordered 2 cheeseburgers. Bun was boutique bakery level good, perfectly toasted inside, soft fluffy outside. Meat was obviously well sourced & perfectly cooked to order as were the fixings. I got aioli on the side cuz it's usually sloppy overpowering but not yours. The thin sweet potato fries were cold at first but the piping hot replacements were primo! And the cookie- OMG! I'll be swinging by just to grab 1 as a treat or quick gift. PLEASE keep up the wonderful legacy you've curated in Newport and we'll give mad love back! read more

Cute dining place near UCI and located on Bison Ave. This place is cozy, chill spot with a nice mix of breakfast, sandwiches, salads, and pizza. Their Godfather sandwich is a must-try -- packed with flavor and huge portions. I ordered this one based on their staffs suggestions and it was delicious. Staff is friendly, and it's great for a relaxed meal with friends or family. read more

Literally just happened on this incredible little bistro and we were so impressed with everything. The staff are extremely friendly. The place is exceptionally clean and the food was fantastic. We had the chicken avocado Panini and the kids had chicken fingers and fries and everything was absolutely top-notch. Wish they had another location closer to LA but will definitely be back next time we're in this area. read more

Food was great! Fast service and super friendly staff, especially Francisco. He made sure to check on us occasionally and ensure we had everything we needed. Gracias Francisco! read more

My wife and I decided to have breakfast here this morning on our way to Bristol Farms in CDL. Based upon the positive reviews and pictures, it was a total disappointment. The place is nice inside, but that's about it. You order from the counter, and we both ordered the eggs Benedict, and I added a side of the chicken apple sausage. My wife ordered coffee and they handed her a paper cup and pointed to the coffee thermos. I asked for water and they pointed me to a cooler that has Fiji water. The guy at the register rings up our order and it says $63.56 (before tip). Of course the tip part shows on the point of sale screen before signing the amount, and felt guilt tripped in to adding a 20% tip. By the way, the employees really do nothing there that's different from a fast food place. It's like ordering at the counter from McDonalds, except they have an expediter that brings only the food to your table. You, being the patron does everything else. There was only 4 tables occupied with customers that had their food already. They have an open kitchen and I was watching the only expediter chit chatting with the kitchen cook and register guy, and we waited about 15 minutes before I could see one order of the eggs Benedict sitting at the pass under a lamp. It took the cook another 8 minutes to get the order up. Why couldn't he do both orders at the same time instead of having one order sit at the pass for 8 minutes? Finally the expediter brings us our plates and drops off 3 small sausage links in a small plate on the table. The Benedicts looked good, but then trying to cut into the Benedict, it fell well short. The brioche bread base was not soft or fresh. It was kind of on the stale side. Cutting it with a butter knife just tore up the Benedict so now the eggs are off the bread base, and all of the other items that make up the Benedict are scattered separately on the plate making it a deconstructive Benedict. The eggs were barely warm, the arugula was cold and must have been pulled out of the cooler, and the tomatoes were of the Sysco variety that are hard, no flavor, and not ripe. The bacon under the eggs were bacon crumbles. Not even a strip of bacon. You could tell they precooked the bacon and crumbled them into a container in the kitchen and may have been cooked, crumbled, and stored from the morning before. The chicken apple sausages were small, dry, and was exactly like you would expect from an Embassy Suite hotel buffet, sitting in those stainless steel buffet trays. Champagne, you can do much better for the exorbitant price you charge. Just because you are in Newport Beach doesn't mean you should charge a fortune for a poorly executed breakfast that a coffee shop or Denny's can do much better Get it together! Lesson learned, we'll never go back. I will also never pre-tip when ordering at a counter point of sale system set up. I will wait and pay cash after the meal to judge how the service and food is. read more

Special shout out to Ulises who is always quick with a smile and ready to help! Champagnes does not disappoint when it comes to their food, people, and service. It's easy for a quick break from the office & we so enjoy sitting in the sun on their patio. :) read more

We were in Huntington Beach for the day on Tuesday. As we were leaving Starbucks we noticed that the pancake house was now Champagnes! We walked across the street and asked if it was related to the Champagnes on Bison in Newport. We absolutely had to go get a table on the patio and spent the rest of the evening there! Amazing young wait staff! All were very friendly and had great personalities! Very welcoming! Thomas was our server, such a cutie! He told us about the happy hour and went over the wine list with us. We paced ourselves and enjoyed snacks, salads, wine and finished the evening with their delicious Moon Goat coffee. They were all great hosts!! They upgraded the patio landscape plants and the patio furniture! Our new fave place!! Thank to all of you!! read more

Food was great. The French toast was delicious soft but a crunchy crust . Francisco was so attentive and kind.

Excellent place!! The food here is delicious. We have never been disappointed. Great staff!

We went to Champagne's for the first time yesterday and honestly, this place really hits the mark! From the moment you walk in, literally everyone is SO welcoming and friendly. I've never been somewhere where it is so natural and apparent. It makes me want to work there! It must be a combination of inherently good people and also good management. Kudos to you all!! On top of that, service is very efficient, attentive, and so courteous. Not to mention the food. We asked for recommendations and they were spot on. The very best fried chicken ever. Look at the photos (we ate everything before I took photos so they're not mine)...the food tastes just as good as the photos look, and even better. Ambiance is a quiet yet happy family spot. We will definitely be back. read more

Great service! Good coffee and decent food. Fast becoming a local favorite. The fried chicken was excellent. Order cheese grits and they were creamy with no lumps. read more

Diana F is extremely rude but outside of that the food was good. she rushed my order with no line behind me (i was getting breakfast for my family would was running a bit behind) and she had an attitude for no reason. regardless i still tipped her and she got my receipt after paying and stared at the reciept. i was confused on what she's checking... whether she got a tip? or if it was approved? not sure if it's cause im a person of color or if she's implying im broke but overall was an unusual out of the norm encounter for ordering food. read more

This place is the best! We had the pepperoni pizza. You can't go wrong with that one :)

My favorite lunch spot in the area ! Incredible staff who are so kind and helpful! Francisco is always smiling and checking on everyone ! They have the best table fries for sharing !
