    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Enjoying brunch with the sea breeze is so relaxing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although it's not entirely by the sea, you can still see the ocean in the distance--it's so vast![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guy at the restaurant was incredibly helpful and patient. When I asked him for recommendations, he said everything was delicious! Overall, it was indeed a very good experience, and the ingredients were very fresh!

    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.

    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.

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

    Came for Mother's Day on a whim, expecting a long line or wait time and I was surprised. While it's a more causal restaurant, you wait in line to order then help yourself to self seating, the line wasn't very long. I just wish they assigned seating instead of free-for-all seating because some customers are ruthless. And honestly that's their biggest flaw. The food took awhile to come out but it was well worth the weight, the protein waffles were a huge hit with the kiddos. I'd definitely recommend this place but try during the week and expect a bit of a wait for seating.

    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.

    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!

    Parakeet in Newport is my favorite cafe. The food is amazing, is healthier than most places, and uses no seed oils! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is exceptional and I love the ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every detail is on brand; even down to the pink heart-shaped stopper for the to-go cups![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is also very peaceful with a nice view of the ocean across PCH.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I enjoy going here to relax while I work. When I visited on Tuesday, I was welcomed with Tay's friendly smile. She now knows my drink order by heart. Megan and Sean also made a point to say hi to me and have a brief conversation. They always make me feel like they are happy to see me! This trip my Chai tasted off and when I brought it to Tay, she asked questions and offered to make a new one with a smile. The barista, Luke, even came out to ask questions with a friendly attitude. He recognized me and my order from previous visits and went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my beverage. He asked questions and was very proactive. Once he made my new beverage, he delivered it to me and made sure I enjoyed it, which I did. The Poke Bowl I had for lunch was delicious! It is super refreshing during the warmer days and the sauce as a nice kick to it. I always recommend Parakeet all the time to my friends and others, and they always enjoy their experience.

    Pricy & popular but very good healthy options which is great when you're on vacation(need to balance with all the drinking & eating bad stuff lol) After reading reviews raving about SoCal burrito I was excited to try it.I was a little underwhelmed it was mostly rice with a little beans and mushrooms.I ordered extra salsa but they only gave me a tiny amount.I regretted not adding some protein to it. I also had the green goddess salad,not bad. Husband had tuna sandwich liked it except for the gluten free bread. My daughter liked her chicken Cesar wrap.We probably wouldn't go out of our way to eat here but our daughter lives in area and is a big fan!

    I love coming here! Even the drive there on PCH is part of the experience and always puts me in a good mood. My go-tos are the jicama chips & the waffers. Especially the chai and mocha flavored ones. Supee satisfying and surprisingly low calories. Theyre around 30-45 calories per pack and they keep me full longer than I expect. I literally drive 20 minutes to stock up on snacks for the week. Besides the snacks Ive tried their lattes which are also delicious. They also serve other food items & pastries, I have never tried them but I want to go back one of these days for brunch because they look amazing. The cafe itself is gorgeous too.. it feels warm and beautifully decorated.

    We had a wonderful time, everything was so good and the atmosphere is just right. Thank you for your great service.

    A Beautiful location and a great stop after a Crystal Cove hike. Its a casual Cafe that has you ordering at the counter with the food being brought to you. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The menu emphasizes healthy and organic selections with modifications to some items, allowing you to make it paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free. No seed oils used here. The only oil used includes olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil. Although the cashier was super friendly, her knowledge on the menu was limited. We had a few questions on ingredients and modifications and she couldn't offer substitutions available or ingredients in a dish. She did ask the chef, which I appreciate, but it slows down the line and doesn't answer all our questions. We ordered the breakfast burrito, which included scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes. I removed the labneh to make it dairy free and substituted it for guacamole. I also had them remove the pico de gallo and ordered the burrito with a gluten free tortilla. The burrito was hearty and flavorful and the guacamole was definitely a good swap. We also ordered the French Omlette sandwich. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked. The homemade brioche bun was delicious and fresh. I Hate to say this, but this sandwich had way to many greens with some tasting inedible. Although a bit pricey, we enjoyed our meal, and customer service was great. I do feel they could use more staff. I felt bad for the only girl working the floor who had to deliver food, and clear and clean the tables. She wiped the food off the outdoor tables onto the floor and it was never swept up. We looked down and realized the floor had a lot of food scraps.

    Healthy food options, creative dishes, n. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can sit outdoors and enjoy the ocean breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent service: Sarah was friendly and attentive. Lattes were tasty, Golden Goddess salad Harvest toast were infused with healthy ingredients. Pan fried salmon was well prepared.

    If that is a concern, I would check with the staff onsite to confirm.

    Hi, per health requirements we can only allow dogs in the outdoor seating. Thanks!

We arrived a little after 7:30pm on Thursday 7/23, and were greeted by nobody. So we waited...and waited. And waited some more before walking to the bar and asking if we were supposed to seat ourselves. The friendly bartender that night told us that there, in fact, was a hostess, but she was probably seating another party. When she finally arrived some time later, she made no attempt to greet us, apologize for the delay, or even smile. Not even a simple "Hi." The first words out of her mouth were an annoyed "How many?" I told her 3, and then she proceeded to inform us that they were no longer seating walk-ins for the night. There was a slightly awkward silence as I did a quick glance at all the empty 4-seater booths around the restaurant. Why ask how many in our party if you are no longer seating walk-in customers? She then told us that we could try to find seats at the bar, which we proceeded to do, passing by 2 empty tables on the way. By this time, more than 10 minutes had passed since we stepped foot in the restaurant and stood there waiting by ourselves at the front. We proceeded to sit at the bar, and only after getting our menus, asking questions about dishes, and placing our orders with the bartender, were we informed that our 13 year-old son could not actually sit at the bar. We told him that the hostess directed us there, and he allowed us to have one of the open tables next to the bar. And so we moved to the table--the same empty table that I had glanced at after the hostess had told us there were no more seats available for the night, the same table that we had passed on the way to the bar. The rest of the dinner was uneventful, the food was decent, and our server and bartender ended up being extremely kind, attentive, and friendly. Here's the thing that everyone knows though: first impressions matter, and ignoring us and then shuffling us around like second-class citizens made us feel unwelcome and made us question if we were being treated differently because we looked different than the rest of the guests. It sucks to be excited for a restaurant, then have to think about questions like that during dinner. We still left a 20% tip on the $200+ dinner because the waitstaff was hard-working and great, and also took this as an opportunity to remind our young teenage son the importance of treating everyone with kindness and respect in every social interaction, and in all that we do. Disappointed is the only way I can describe our experience, and the food, unfortunately, could not make up for that. We will not be returning.

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 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. Overall was good and we'll be back every once in a while because we love Lido. Will try sitting inside in hopes the tables are decent. Really hope management makes some improvements though!

    We went around 9-10pm and the host gave us a table with napkins and utensils but no plate, so…read morealright maybe they forgot. I usually come for the steak fries since the fries are good. However, today's service was so bad to the point that I been waving my hands and making eye contact to order for 15-20 minutes. And they were actually ignore us. Maybe we didn't dress decent enough for them to serve us since we were in our regular jean and tshirt. So I have to actually speak up and call them to order. So when we get to order, it was 10:20pm already. After the foods are brought out, we had a decent dinner together and they are about to close. So one of the server brought out the check for us to pay and we decided to pay with exact amount with cash and leave tip in cash also. One of the server genuinely SMIRKED at us while counting the money. Like he looked at us and SMIRKED. He probably has a bad day or a busy day but still, it's a Tuesday. So instead of a nice dinner and a good nap, we had a really bad close of the day because of service at Zinque. So if you want food at night, you can come to Zinque but don't expect too much for the services recently, since it was SO MUCH BETTER back then until today.
