    Boardwalk Burrito without bacon
    Jill G.

    We came here for breakfast & loved the ambiance. Open air with views of the beach. I had a vanilla oatmilk latte. My husband had an iced latte. So good. My breakfast burrito was delicious. Crispy hash browns with scrambled eggs, cheese & avocado. It was huge. We could have split it, as we did when we came back a week later. He got chicken & waffles. All fantastic. Came back at dinner the next day. We shared a grilled cheese sandwich & each got tomato soup. The tomato soup was amazing. Some nice tomato chunks but smooth & served with crumbled cheese on top. Loved it. Service was ok. My sister in law waited almost a half hour for her food, when she inquired about it, no one apologized or seemed to care much. That's the only thing we were surprised about.

    Dory Deli is a fun spot to grab a bite, socialize and enjoy the beach atmosphere. It's location is ideal being right by the pier, beach, shops and boardwalk.

    Our weekly stop, beautiful beach views, the staff is always welcoming and accommodating. We have had several of good items. Great price point and the food is very good. I love that they also allow pets. Definitely recommend stopping in for a coffee , cocktail or sandwich. Love Dory's Deli. BTW , our new favorite is the deli wrap with added French fries. It's a perfect lunch where you can people walking down the boardwalk.

    Dori Deli is one of those spots that instantly puts you in a good mood. The oceanfront seating alone makes it worth the visit -- enjoying lunch with a clear view of the water and fresh coastal air is hard to beat. The service was amazing from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without feeling rushed, which made the experience even better. You can tell they care about both the food and the guests. Their lunch menu is extensive, with plenty of options for every craving. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked great, and the quality definitely matched the variety. I paired my meal with the Pizza Chronic Ale, which was a perfect choice -- crisp, refreshing, and a great complement to the food. Between the oceanfront seating, excellent service, and solid food and drink options, Dori Deli is an easy recommendation. Whether you're stopping by for a relaxed lunch or just want a great spot to enjoy a beer with a view, this place delivers.

    Great place with great staff. Elvira is always great and on point. Marco makes great coffees. Always something to see out the window.

    Winter sunsets on the patio

    The best spot for a delicious app and cocktail while enjoying a winter sunset. I am absolutely in love with their sweet potato goat cheese fritters. They are the most creamy, flavorful and crispy item and I'm obsessed. Almost as obsessed with their espresso martinis, that I'd argue is one of the best in Newport. It's rich, strong and chocolately with a perfect foam and not overly sweet. And they have their heaters going in the patio so you can stay warm. Great great spot.

    This is my two egg breakfast, and they have a variety of hot sauces to make them even better!

    What a great way to start my day! Friendly people, fresh air and the sound of the waves crashing while I have my breakfast! It's now a habit almost daily!

    Avocado Toast on a bagel
    Kristina K.

    I love this place so much!!! Such a fun beach deli that not only serves lunch and deli foods, but breakfast, yummy coffee, alcoholic drinks and dinner choices. The seating is so nice inside too. You can face the beach or go more in back if it is crowded. There are TVs as well. The breakfast burrito was delicious as well as the tator tots. I also loved the bagel with all the veggies. Breakfast sandwich was good but my mom doesn't eat eggs so we got one w no eggs & still delish. Service is fast and friendly. You order and the counter and get a number and pick your seat. There's always people in there, but usually always seating as well. They also do fun seasonal specials. A must when at Newport Beach!

    Came here because it was recommended. When I walked up I wasn't sure... I ordered a salad and added the crispy chicken. I was so glad I did. The salad was incredible. Everything is so fresh. Will definitely be back!

    Lifeguard Club Fish & Chips
    Ainsley J.

    Great location right by the pier, all the good tables overlooking the water were taken but they had plenty of seating in the back. Service was friendly & fast. Sandwich and fish were great, the fries needed salt but the sauce that came with the fish and chips (maybe aioli of some kind) totally made up for it.

    Bloody Mary and Peach Bellini tasted wonderful!
    Star W.

    Jason the bartender made my husband and I amazing drinks! The ambiance is perfect. The beach view can't beat!

    Juan F.

    I had their poke bowl and it was just okay. The rice was a little hard and the veggies were good, but the tuna tasted just okay. I guess it is convenient since it is right by the beach so its a good location if you are looking for something nearby and quick.

We came relatively early on a Saturday, totally forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day weekend and this place would be poppin (which it definitely was as the day carried on). We were seated right away for breakfast. On weekends, they don't start serving lunch till 11:45am, but we got to enjoy their breakfast. I didn't even realize they serve food. We were seated in the upstairs area which was pretty awesome because you got more of a view of the ocean! It was awesome. The guy that seated us was one of the brothers that works there and he was so nice! He told us to let him know when we were ready to leave because it gets crazy and people try to steal tables hahah. He even tried to get us to stay later and offered to buy us all a shot if we did, which of course, my family never says no to, so they all got to enjoy that haha. He was fantastic! Our server was also amazing though I didn't get her name. The staff here really is outstanding! To eat, I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of their fruit bowl. It was all really good. The food came out pretty quick which was great. My family all enjoyed their HUGE beers and mimosas. But really, the drinks look like they could be a bowl of soup haha. We loved it here and I'd definitely come back. Once the afternoon hit, they turned the music up for the St. Patrick's Day crowd. It was definitely a fun atmosphere!

Their food isn't too bad especially if you want to watch sports, enjoy greasy food with a friend, or need a quick bite after a beach day. I think kids are allowed until a certain time (but I'm not sure when) cos once the sun sets, they have a bouncer checking IDs. Lots of seating available. Service is ok. When you get inside, you can pick any table of your choosing and your server will find you. Also, the restrooms are clean! First time I came here, I tried the lemon pepper pterodactyl wings and sweet potato fries. The wings were kinda bland and needed ranch for flavor. The sweet potato fries were pretty greasy but went great with a beer. I've also tried their California Dreamin' burger with garlic fries. This burger was so yummy and filling!! The bun is like a grilled cheese and the toppings go so well together. The garlic fries were meh.

This has nothing to do with the food and the service. Our server was wonderful and accommodating. The food was quite good and we would have visited again. The rudeness of the owner was beyond words. We were seated with 4 kids and 6 adults. My child is 4 and was hitting his utensils on the table to make music. The owner immediately reprimanded him. She suggested giving the kids pencils and papers as an activity. I thought that was a great idea and said, "yes please". My son, like most children, began hitting his utensils again while waiting. When she saw, she said she would not give the kids the activity if they didn't stop. She then proceeded to snatch all utensils from the kids. I should have said something at that point but I didn't want to ruin the mood. We were celebrating my nephews 8th birthday. After that incident, my husband went up and gave her a suggestion about their menu. He was getting something from the car and didn't witness what happened with the utensils. He has a hard time reading and told her. She proceeded to say, "well we have 5 stars. Then added sarcastically, "well Happy Mother's Day to you too." Rude and uncalled for. I am not good with confrontation and we should have left the restaurant. However, I did not want to penalize our waitress and the other staff who have been great. The owner ultimately left the hostess area but I could hear her telling others that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Obviously that was directed at us. I like to give people the benefit of doubt but not from this type of treatment. She might have had a bad day but you can't act on emotions as a business owner. The thought also crossed my mind that she may have been racist. Needless to say, our birthday lunch was ruined and we couldn't help but discuss the treatment. Our waitress apologized on behalf of the owner but that was seriously inexcusable.

We had the steak and eggs and the portion was pretty small, but the steak itself was actually really good. The chimichurri sauce was disappointing though since it was blended too smooth and more like a liquid sauce without the fresh herb texture you usually expect. The chicken and waffles were mid overall. The waffles were bland, although the chicken was decent. The blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes were also just okay. The syrup tasted a little off and the lemon flavor was way too overpowering. I prefer just a hint of lemon, but these were definitely very lemon-forward. The passion fruit drop cocktail was probably my favorite thing we ordered. Sweet but still strong... my favorite! Also really enjoyed the butter and the fresh strawberry jam. We had a decent time and enjoyed the atmosphere, but nothing really stood out enough to put this place high on my return list.

It's waterfront and can be accessed via the boardwalk (it's behind the street-side shops). Parking can be tough and very expensive - you'll likely have to park in the structure and walk over. Make sure to take your ticket with you for validation. Seating is available inside and outside on their covered patio. Plenty of space for parties of all sizes. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to make a same-day reservation for a Sunday afternoon. They had plenty of open seating even when we got there. Tables were very dirty. They have a lot of work to do - it seems like months if not years of food, dust, and salty moist air mixed together and collected in the and creases in the tables, on the walls, etc.. It's like a sticky gross residue that never gets completely clean. Many people like to dress nice in the area but honestly I would hate to wear something nice here out of fear it would get dirty. We also required new plates as ours had old food stuck to them. Service was not great. Our waiter was somewhat attentive but not nice - the poor guy seemed miserable like he hated his job and did not want to be there. Despite the restaurant being full, he wouldn't come by often when we actually needed something - he even disappeared towards the end and a new waiter had to help us. Food is delicious. Besides the location, their saving grace. We tried the sandwiches and yummy! Fries were also delicious with the spicy mayo. Love the different options they have, overall. They also had some great looking food on the brunch and drinks section of the menu. You can scan the QR code at the table to see pictures of each menu item.
