    This place is so cute! Services is great - we are on the patio and Sarah was so friendly and attentive! Food is yummy and they have the best iced tea!

    Parakeet is in a great location right across from Crystal Cove State Beach, making it a convenient stop before or after spending time by the ocean. Parking can be a little difficult to find, but it's manageable. The lines were long when I visited, but they moved fairly quickly. I tried the matcha latte and the potatoes. The matcha was good and worth trying, but the potatoes were disappointing because they were too hard and a bit burnt. The customer service was good, and the café itself is beautiful with both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, it was a decent experience. The location and atmosphere were definitely highlights, but the food didn't fully meet my expectations. I can see why people enjoy this place, but based on my visit, it wasn't a spot that stood out to me.

    Cold brew and mint latte
    Jessica A.

    Okay so it was a little pricey but wow great breakfast spot. The mint coffee was to die for. Also the mishmash is a MUST try!! We loved the green eggs and shukshuka. You go order and get seated with a number. We came super early but the line was really forming by the time we got settled. They have a kids menu too which is so sweet my baby had the scrambled eggs and fruit. Cannot wait to come back!

    Food was really good! They had so many pastries, the oatmeal cookie and banana muffin were 10/10. Thank you to Sarah our waitress, amazing service

    Cafe Latte

    Great food, Sarah gave us excellent service with a beautiful smile We will definitely come back

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Cyrene R.

    My friend and I tried this place today. Didn't expect it to be crowded but it was. The place was very aesthetically pleasing if you're into pink. I wanted to try everything but I settled for a vanilla matcha and Caesar salad wrap. It was a really good healthy version even though it did not taste like a Caesar salad. But it was good! It's a new spot to grab a matcha a pastry for sure!

    Food and service was great! Sarah helped us out and gave us excellent attention. The coffee was tasty. Ambiance is right on the water and easy parking!

    This review isn't for the food. We frequent here pretty often, food is good, service is good. Chill place to get brunch on weekend.. The issue I have is as a pet owner, there are signs all over saying if you have a furry friend feel free to dine on the patio. Respectfully. However we came here and I sat inside today. I know the staff sees it but chooses not to say anything. People letting their pets inside, on the furniture, is disgusting.. this is a health department violation esp when the pets are licking the tables. I do hope management addresses this issue. Just one pic of a few dogs that's were inside.

    Iced Mint Latte
    Janelle O.

    Overall nice experience at this cafe! There is lots of parking and indoor/outdoor seating, we were able to find a spot to sit on a busy Saturday. I thought the mint latte was refreshing and not too sweet, and the food came out shortly after! The green egg scramble was tasty and I enjoyed the bread and avocado that it came with (though I was missing a salsa or something spicy!). I paid ~$30 including tip. My friend ordered the chicken Caesar salad wrap and was disappointed in the size! She was expecting a filling "burrito size", but it was definitely more "snack size". It doesn't help that it's plated alone on a large plate, exaggerating its disappointing size. Id come back again! Avoiding the wraps if hungry.

    Seasonal strawberry matcha latte w cold cream add-on.

    Seasonal strawberry matcha latte with cold foam add-on. Real strawberry puree. Iced. So good. Not too sweet. The bathroom couldve been a bit cleaner but it was a busy hot humid sunday w lotsa customers.

    It's just a cute, casual cafe with quality ingredients. And they let me camp out all day with my laptop without blinking twice about it. Of course, I continued to place orders throughout my stay, but I really appreciated the relaxed and welcoming hospitality. Got a lot of work done! I'm a patio girl, but I chose to sit inside because it looked so comfortable and cute. Tropical meets Legally Blonde. Once I settled in, I didn't want to leave.

    Iced Mint Latte

    So I've been to this location a couple of times. There is always a line for sure. I thought the prices are a little on the higher side but it is also location impacted. However, everything I've tried, I've enjoyed. The first time I came I got a latte and a pastry I believe. This time, Sunday I got a lemon blueberry scone which I was pleasantly surprised by. My niece didn't care for it but I really enjoyed the taste. Lots of blueberries and not too sweet at all. I wished I had asked them to heat it up. On Monday, I got the mint latte and I enjoyed it as well. Cute cup if nothing else. I do need to come back and grab actual food item. Next time. SYOY!

    Maya Mocha was superb. Almond croissant was just decent; there are way better versions around at Moulin, Pandor and even Peet's coffee. Nice to have both indoor and outdoor spaces. Service was excellent!

The happy hour food and drink prices are honestly some of the best you'll find in Newport Beach you really can't beat the value! I also love that happy hour runs until 6 PM, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the food, drinks, and waterfront atmosphere without feeling rushed. Great food, great prices, beautiful views, and excellent service. I will definitely be returning!

Seating is very close to other tables ... our 'neighbors' were loud and boisterous... we found it hard to converse and even relax until they left. We normally share a dinner and there are added charges for that... $5. for the first share. $8. for the 2nd. No biggie... we prefer small plates. The food was very good. The service was fine...There is lots of competition for that in Newport. Shorebird is much roomier, has the same view, validated parking and great food as well. You have to REALLY love The Dock to go again and they are normally booked up so many do!

    A perfect restaurant for a night out!…read more I would honestly give a 5/5 in all areas to The Dock, the food was exquisite and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. The space is a bit small but very lovely and you can see the harbor right from where you eat. There's even a private walkway you can go to and take pictures or enjoy the scenery. We got the halibut, scallops, lamb, duck, and (not pictured here) the soup de jour which, for us, was the gazpacho. Overall I would say everything was a delight to eat, everything was tender, juicy, and had just the right amount of sauce and toppings. For me, the soup was the stand out though, one of the best gazpachos I've ever had and I'm not usually a cold soup kind of person. The dock is an upscale seafood restaurant that I believe may use French inspired techniques? Which I would say is the only critique I could have of it. Everything was so tender and perfect, some dishes started feeling a little one note (a very very good note though). There were a variety of ingredients that came on all the plates that, but felt like they never veered far enough to create a more interesting balance for the palate. A classic complaint of my steak too juicy, my lobster too buttery. But technique-wise everything was executed perfectly but I would say if you are more of an adventurous eater you should definitely talk to your waiter/waitress and ask for their advice. Would definitely recommend for any special occasion or if you want enjoy the most fork (dare I even say, spoon) tender meal of your life.

Made a reservation but came earlier and they kindly let us. Parking is in a very expensive lot. For 2.5hr we were there, with restaurant validation, it was still like $25. As for the food, it was pretty good. The branzino was the star perfectly cooked, deboned, and butterflied. Had some delicious sides of Brussels sprouts and Japanese sweet potatoes too. There was even some non alcoholic drink options which we appreciated. Now why the 2 stars? Well food was good, but while I can't say the service was "bad," it was just nonexistent. As I've come to realize with other people's reviews, they definitely seem to profile people here and that's really unfortunate. I'll say we were most likely the only ethnic diners at the time. The beautiful ladies at the table next to us definitely got service as well as other tables around. They give a QR code for ordering when getting seated, but the waiter has to take the first order for it to be active. So by the time he arrived, we were already ready to put the whole order. Food came out relatively quick from a runner. Then the rest of the time, the server never once checked on us. I saw him pass by and glance at our table of basically finished meals. They also don't seem to do anything for special occasions. When I finally flagged him down to mention we were finished to get the dishes cleared, he got the check ready right there and didn't even offer a dessert menu to order from. I would've ordered at least something to celebrate but wasn't worth waiting any longer. The two stars is because the food was well cooked. It seems your experience may vary based on if you look like the ones living in the area.
