    Good for taking pictures, but the food quality is just so so ... Lobster Roll The absolute MVP for value! Loaded with lobster meat and the bun is toasted perfectly crispy. If you don't wanna risk a bad order at RH, just get this one. Lobster Salad has this crisp lettuce that balances out the lobster nicely, super refreshing for hot weather. Branzino huge portion, crispy skin but tender inside. Definitely good to share. Favorite Dishes: Seafood tower, Lobster roll Service was great ambience is top level perfect for taking pictures. I heard that it was renovated from a furniture store and you can see the designers taste.

    5* Food 5* Ambiance 5* Service 3* Value RH Grill Newport Beach is undeniably beautiful. Located above the RH store at Fashion Island, the restaurant feels luxurious, elegant and thoughtfully designed. The chandeliers, greenery, fountains, and overall setting create a beautiful atmosphere that is especially enjoyable for gatherings, drinks, coffee, or simply taking in the space. Our reservation and seating were seamless, and the staff who greeted us were welcoming. Our servers were also pleasant and attentive, and one in particular was genuinly kind and patient. To start, we ordered the fried artichoke with aioli. It was not very greasy, well seasoned and the fried rosemary was a very nice touch. We ordered the whole branzino grilled. It was well prepared and deboned. Served with a side of grilled half lemon and drenched in olive oil. Everything was quality, delicious, however, at $44 with not side, we had to order grilled asparagus at $14. The Sea Bass was exceptionally well prepared, and the mashed potatoes served with the dish was extravagant in flavor. After two spoonfuls, there was nothing left. At $52, it left us hungry. Coffee and dessert was delightful. The warm chocolate chip cookie served at $12 was delicious. The lemon sorbet was on point. Not too sweet or sour, it was very refreshing on a hot day in Newport beach. The dishes were good, but I found them overpriced for both the quality and especiallly portions. We left hungry which felt more like paying for the beautiful surroundings than for an exceptional meal. Overall, RH Grill is a beautiful destination and the ambiance is definitely the highlight. Its a lovely place to enjoy the setting, have a drink or coffeee, and take in the gorgeous design. I'm glad I experienced it.

    RH Grill Newport Beach is beautiful, but for me it was more about the atmosphere than the food. It's located above the RH store at Fashion Island, which makes parking very easy--there was plenty of mall parking. We had a 6:30 p.m. Sunday reservation, and check-in was smooth. The hosts were kind enough to add extra guests to our reservation, and we were seated quickly. The space is definitely luxurious and photogenic: fountains, chandeliers, greenery, and a nice overall vibe. The outdoor area was closed because of the gloomy weather. Still, it's a lovely place for pictures, drinks, coffee, or a girls' night. The service did not feel as polished as I expected for the price point. Our waiter, Marco, may have been overwhelmed because it was busy, but at first he came across a little less warm and attentive than expected. He did improve during the second half of our meal, and I hope this feedback simply encourages a more welcoming, friendly approach. As for the food: it was decent, but very overpriced for both the quality and portions. I do not mind paying for an expensive meal when it feels worth it, but this one did not. I would not recommend coming here very hungry expecting an amazing dinner--you may leave with a very large bill without feeling that the food justified it. Overall, RH Grill is a nice experience for the setting, drinks, coffee, and ambiance, but I would personally skip it for a full meal. I'm glad I tried it, but I probably would not return.

    Tried this place for my birthday and it was a bit of a let down. The restaurant is located on the top of the Restoration Hardware store at Fashion Island. It is bright and aesthetically appealing for photos. The artichoke appetizer was 10/10. Crispy, flavorful and served with a delicious sauce. The burrata appetizer was ok. It was beautifully placed however it needed more balsamic for flavor. The shrimp cocktail appetizer had large size shrimp and was good but nothing extra notable. The truffle fries were crispy and delish. The whole roasted chicken was surprisingly a great main. The mini potatoes were crispy and the chicken was juicy. The steak frites was just ok. The portion was disappointing and it was cooked a bit more well than requested. The branzino was plain with semi-crispy skin that the meat stuck to. I had a much more flavorful and delicious branzino the day before at Marlena. They brought out a delicious brûléed banana with ice cream for my birthday which was nice. Sparkling or Still Pellegrino is the water choice. Overall the place has great vibes for drinks/appetizers/photo ops. If you want amazing food for the $, this is not it. Note: the server was amazing 10/10.

    What a stunning place to celebrate a birthday. I was invited as part of a birthday dinner so I can't speak to the reservation process, but I've heard it can be hard to get into and after experiencing it firsthand I completely understand why. We were there on a Tuesday at 5:45PM and the place was packed the entire evening. The space itself is incredibly beautiful, high ceilings with gorgeous chandeliers, lush high quality faux plants, and animal sculptures throughout. Since it sits on the fourth floor there are lovely views of the water. One practical note though: the elevator is not labeled on the directory on the first floor. I did not know it existed and walked up four flights of stairs to check in, which I would have very much preferred to skip. Worth knowing before you go! We started with the Délice de Bourgogne board (cheese board) and fries. The garlic aioli that came with the fries was delicious. For the main course our table shared the whole grilled branzino, French rotisserie chicken, charred wagyu ribeye, a classic Caesar, and crispy artichokes. The chicken was the standout for me, flavorful and perfectly moist. The ribeye was cooked a nice medium. The branzino was slightly too charred on the outside for my liking. Food took a little while to come out but we were deep in conversation and honestly didn't mind at all. A few people at the table ordered drinks including the rosé spritz which the waiter mentioned is one of their most popular drinks. The wait staff was wonderful throughout, attentive with water refills and genuinely helpful when answering questions. We lingered well after finishing our meal and were never once made to feel rushed. The restrooms were beautiful and well maintained. And the birthday girl's coffee came topped with the RH logo in foam which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. One small heads up: if you are seated inside near the windows around sunset the sun can be directly in your eyes. Maybe tuck a pair of sunglasses in your bag if you have an early evening reservation. A minor thing for an otherwise luxurious experience I would highly recommend.

    Brunch at RH Newport Beach -- and make sure you ask for the brunch menu! We came in at 10 a.m. and were originally handed the regular menu. Thankfully, our server stopped and said, "Wait, I need to bring you the brunch menu!" We were VERY happy to hear that because we wanted a mix of breakfast and lunch options -- and the brunch menu was exactly what we were looking for. We tried the Italian Benedict, American Breakfast, and Chinese Chicken Salad, and then did the only responsible thing and ordered a few things for the table. Our server tipped us off to the strawberries with cream, which are apparently an off-menu item, and we also shared the Swedish pancakes. The Italian Benedict was my favorite -- so unique and absolutely delicious. The prosciutto was perfectly salty and made the whole dish. But everyone agreed that the strawberries and cream were one of the best things we ate. DO NOT SKIP THEM. And the Swedish pancakes were amazing too! The one miss for us was the American Breakfast. My friend still really enjoyed it, but the eggs weren't cooked quite right and the potatoes were overly fried. One person at the table even thought they had a slightly fishy taste, almost like the frying oil had picked up flavors from other foods. With so many other interesting things on this menu, that's probably the one dish we'd skip next time. Overall, such a fun brunch in a gorgeous setting, with a really sweet and helpful server who definitely steered us in the right direction. Next time I'm going straight for the brunch menu, the Italian Benedict, Swedish pancakes and -- obviously -- those strawberries and cream!

    Came to check out the beautiful restaurant and view during the SoCal heat wave. The ambiance and aesthetics is very nice but for how pristine the building and vibe is the air needed to definitely be turned down for a cooler temperature. We were seated promptly at our reservation time and then greeted by our server. We ordered water and some cocktails the vesper and pear, both refreshing and light. Ordered the chips and the tuna- both were good and had unique flavor but were on the lighter and smaller side. We also ordered the burger and the chicken sandwich- this is where the meal went downhill. We waited probably 35-45 minutes for the food to come out, only for both dishes to be dry and not that flavorful. The sides were very average, the sweet potato fries are good but the others aren't worth it. We ordered the cookies with a scoop of ice cream for desert. The cookies were unfortunately overdone which just made the finish of the meal worst. This lunch took over 2 hours from start to finished, not because we dragged the meal out but because the service slowed down drastically quarter of the way through. The value for the food is also not worth it and way over priced for what you get. Not sure I'd recommend or return.

    Take the elevator to the 4th floor or ascend up the spiral staircase.

    RH Ocean Grill is the rooftop restaurant at the Restoration Hardware furniture gallery in Newport Beach. My visit here was spontaneous and I was pleasantly surprised by the positive overall experience. This restaurant does not have ocean views, despite its name. The ambiance, menu selections of food and drinks and service were all fantastic. Ordered the French cocktail, the Parisian petit baked potato with golden Ossetra caviar, the whole grill Branzino sans the head, the Creme brûlée and signature latte. All portioned perfectly and plated and presented nicely. Everything tasted as good as it looked. Service from the host/hostess and servers was courteous, professional and very good. Was delighted with such a lovely lunch experience and would be happy to return. Whether you're shopping for home furnishings or just want a delicious food and drinks, RH Ocean in Newport Beach is worthy of your visit. Recommend

    Impossibly thin house made chips with caviar, pomme royal
    Julia V.

    Such a pretty restaurant! Everything was aesthetic, the mood was great, and the service was amazing! I will say though, the prices of the items are pricy. Don't get me wrong, the food was still pretty good! But I think for the price, I expected way more. The house made chips with caviar was so yummy! The chips were perfectly crispy and salty. It paired really well with the caviar and crème fraiche. The grilled branzino was cooked perfectly but it was tiny. We also ordered the Wagyu ribeye which was seasoned perfectly! But we asked for medium rare but it was half medium rare half medium well done. We also got the Chinese chicken salad, it was fresh and the perfect size. And lastly we got the pomme royal mocktale, the drink was refreshing! Overall, it's cute dinner spot for dates or girls nights but you are paying for the vibe or to be there!

    Complimentary cookies
    Nicole E.

    I have been to RH twice once for lunch and this time for Brunch, and it was absolutely 5 stars. The restaurant itself is located on the 4th floor and absolutely gorgeous! Recommend reservations by all means because they seem to be busy all the time!! If running late they hold to the 15 minute grace period. Ok onto the food. Brunch was absolutely lovely on the weekend. I had the American breakfast and it was filling and delicious! My hubby claims they have the best pancakes in the OC and he is a pancake connoisseur so take that as you will. Otherwise, they provided complimentary chocolate chip cookies which were warm and gooey! Drinks are solid here. I love the peach Bellini and the aperol-- all 5 stars! Drinks are $18-$23, Service honestly cannot get any better. They are always attentive and go above and beyond. RH is a gem in fashion island and definitely recommend!

    Lobster rolls
    Steph T.

    RH Grill is absolutely stunning-the space is gorgeous and definitely the kind of place you go for the ambiance. Perfect for date night, brunch with the girls, or if you want to take some beautiful photos. Hosts and servers were nice and attentive. The food was good, but nothing really wowed me except the lobster rolls. Everything is on the pricier side, so you're paying as much for the atmosphere as you are for the meal.

    Shaved Ribeye Dip
    Hanna Y.

    This was my first time here. I don't frequent here so I am unsure how the parking usually is but we found parking right away and not far from the place. Inside was beautiful. The first few floors are the furniture and the top floor is where the restaurant is. The staff were all really nice and attentive. They were all professional. I got the shaved ribeye dip and it did not disappoint! It was delicious! My friend also got truffle fries and I highly recommend. The garlic aioli it came with was phenomenal and I would go back just for that aioli. Overall really nice high end place to have a cute brunch.

    Ask the Community - RH Ocean Grill at RH Newport Beach

    Do they have brunch menu on friday?

    Yes they have some breakfast items

    Khaki shorts and a linen shirt ok?

    Sounds good...I'd recommend a closed toe shoe. It's very upscale-Newport/Fashion Island vibes.

    Are jeans appropriate?

    Yes

    Any gluten free options?

    They will happily accommodate any allergies! They are very accommodating

    Are there elevators for wheelchair access?

    Yes

    Is there a cork fee, if so how much is it per bottle?

    $25 per bottle you can bring up to 2!

    Are small dogs allowed? I know fashion island is usually dog friendly?

    yes many were here

    How's the bar area?

    Basically non-existent. There are 2 small counters flanking the kitchen where you can get a coffee or a glass of wine. It's not designed for anyone to sit or hang out.

    Do they serve liquor (i.e. tequila vodka whiskey)?

    No, they only serve wine, sparkling wine, and I believe some spritzers but no other hard liquor

    Is it reservation only?

    It is not, but it is bustling since they just opened, so I recommend making reservations. We walked in on Saturday and were able to get a table, but there were only 2 of us, and we were early at around 5:00 pm.

We were immediately greeted with a warm welcome from Jason. He was warm, charismatic and informative. My husband and I both ordered the quarter pound of lobster roll and a small clam chowder. The lobster roll had a generous amount of big chunks of fresh, flavorful lobster. The roll was not overpowered by too much sauce. You can taste the lobster and butteriness. It was pure perfection and it was how I believe a lobster roll should taste. The clam chowder was also perfect in flavor and had a good amount of clams. It tasted homemade and not overly salty. There is a good amount of shared seating behind the restaurant. We got here early and did not have trouble finding parking. This place will be a regular stop for us!

    Luke's Lobster in Balboa was another birthday treat from the wife, and she wanted to take me here…read morebecause she knows I love lobster and crab rolls, or really just lobster and crab in general. Now here's the thing, I've never really had a great lobster roll. It's always been so overpriced for the lack of flavor and just never really worth it. Luke's was the first and truly one of the best places I've had a lobster roll, and honestly it was kinda shocking. We ended up getting the flight, which came with a crab roll, a shrimp roll, and a lobster roll, and all three were phenomenal. But what completely shocked me was that the shrimp roll was a hundred percent the best of the bunch. The butter it came with, that pure savory sweet ocean saltiness, the bread, the butteriness of it, I wish I had ten of them. I could have sat there and eaten all of them right then and there. The shrimp roll was number one for sure, which really surprised me, but it was that good. The lobster roll was a solid second. Great amount of lobster too, and I mean this isn't the kind of place that gives you two or three sad little pieces, they pack a whole handful of lobster in there, which I really appreciated. If you're paying a pretty penny for it, at least they came through with a generous amount. The crab roll though, that one completely fell short. I wasn't too bummed since I was way more locked in on the lobster, but the crab just wasn't there. I don't know if the crab itself just didn't have the flavor this catch around, but it tasted like watered down salt with a little bit of butter. So yeah, that one was not great. Lobster and shrimp though, wonderful. The clam chowder was also really good. I added a little pepper just to give it an extra kick and a little bite, and it was great. The staff were so sweet too, super welcoming and helpful, especially since it was our first time and we had no clue what to get. We hit them with a bunch of questions just to get their insight and hear what their favorites were, and they were awesome about it, really welcoming and just genuinely sweet and helpful. This is definitely one I'd love to go back to, and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a good lobster roll. Truly a good place in my opinion.

Here are the highlights and lowlights: Highlights: Staff, led by Stephanie, was very attentive and took great care of our group. We were seated in the patio area which has spectacular sunset view without the live music that would make it difficult to have conversations. The appetizers, cocktail shrimps, tuna tartare, beef tartare, and fried calamari were all excellent. At the end, the maître d' (forgot his name, sorry) came by and offered us some complimentary coffee and sambuca which were greatly appreciated. He also mentioned that they will be renovating to expand soon. Lowlights: With the exception of the first New York strip that was served at the correct med rare as requested, the rest of the steaks were all overcooked. We had to send some back to be redone. The short rib looked so burned that we thought it was the chocolate souflé that was served too soon by mistake. The seafood paella was perhaps the most disappointing entree. Most of the mussels were so overcooked that their meat shriveled up to almost non-existent. This dish seems to lack some definitive Spanish flavors despite my adding a few spoonfuls of their spicy garlic chili side condiments. While we had a great time celebrating this milestone event in a very lovely setting by a great staff, the food is probably the reason for me not wanting to come back anytime soon.

    We booked this place on a whim as we wanted to have a "nice dinner" and were blown away as regular…read morecustomers of places like Mastro's and Orange Hill. While we were disappointed at first that I had unknowingly booked a table at the "bar", the experience was still 10 out of 10! Everything from the ambiance of friendly, cheery staff along with VERY attentive service despite being at the bar where they were very busy to the amazing tasting food from start to finish (along with complimentary cookies which was very sweet of our bartender/server!). We definitely will be coming back and incorporating this to our routine for "special occasions". As far as the food options, we always get a "seafood tower" when the restaurant has one, and I had unknowingly asked for a "roasted seafood tower" to which the bartender immediately and politely recommend we NOT do that given the heat, but to build our own tower from the cold bar (and boy was that an AMAZING suggestion). We got to pick off the menu from oysters, shrimp cocktail, lobster, and other raw bar items, and it was amazing to do that and about the same price. Everything tasted fresh, and I thought it was very thoughtful of the bartender to suggest that! After we finished the seafood tower appetizer, he took our orders for food. I had the Branzino that tasted delicious and fresh-perfect balance of salty and flavorful. For the sides, we had the mac and cheese which was easiliy one of the best mac and cheeses I've ever had--it was SO rich and creamy! The mushrooms and shishito peppers were also great! Service wise I was very pleased as well that they took the effort to plate our food for us (namely the sides) and made sure all our needs were met!

    We came to Shorebird around 8 pm with a reservation for a larger party and waited about 10 minutes…read moreto be seated. The restaurant itself is spacious with a beautiful view of the water. Service was good throughout the meal, though nothing particularly stood out. We ordered several dishes to share, including the Butter Basted Hokkaido Scallops, The Shorebird, Swordfish, Prime Skirt Steak, Prime Skirt Steak Taco Platter, Chilean Seabass, Yellowtail, and Carrot Cake. Everything was definitely on the pricier side, but the quality reflected the price for most of the meal. The only miss was the Swordfish, which was too dry for us. My personal highlights were the Prime Skirt Steak, Chilean Seabass, and The Shorebird, especially the risotto that came with it. Everything tasted high quality and well prepared. We found street parking directly in front, which was free after 6 pm. There's also an underground lot where Shorebird validates two hours of parking. Overall, Shorebird is a great option for a special occasion or a nicer dinner out. I'd recommend making a reservation, especially if you're coming with a larger group.

    We went for a large work party and were seated right away. First I will say the service was the…read morestandout here, all the humans we engaged with , were super kind and supportive. I have an allergy so I always have to navigate food carefully-they took such wonderful care of me, and made it so easy to feel comfortable. The view was great, I sat close to the water and enjoyed a bit of a breeze and a great view of the boats coming and going. The only issue we had, was getting cell service to call ubers for our large group after dinner lol. Over all great experience.

    After a lovely afternoon of wine tasting at a JCB pop-up event nearby we went for a walk and wanted…read moreto grab an early dinner before heading back to San Diego We stumbled upon this place as we were walking along the coast. Yeah, it looked like it might be touristy, but we check out the menu and they had a really good happy hour menu in the bar. We went in and found a table Service was prompt, friendly helpful I ordered a bowl of lobster bisque and a Caesar salad and tell them to do the dressing super light like half of what they normally do both came out beautiful perfect delicious I couldn't have asked for a better meal. It fit the Bill for that moment. My sister also got a Caesar salad and a fish taco my cousin ordered the same fish taco and some wontons I did not try their wontons, but I took a small bite of the fish out of the fish taco and it was amazing We did not have any drinks, but they had a really good drink menu What seemed like a touristy spot ended up being a fabulous place. We talked to a party next to us and they are somewhat local and said this is their favorite place to come. I imagine I'll be back next time. I'm in the area.

    love this location and the service, always friendly staff,…read more the food is good and they have lovely mainstay items that hit the mark, the bar has great selections of beverages and wines/beers as well, it's a nice location for lunch or dinner. parking is a limited in the area, but not a far walk from the main pay parking lot, and it leaves time for you to stroll the boardwalk and enjoy the marina as well. the vintage feel of this Harbor Side restaurant is unique and very interesting if your love History..

    I went here in san diego as a recommendation by this lady I was having a small conversation with…read moreand I am so thankful I listened to her. I went on a monday night and got the baja bucket which was the deal for the night ! The baja bucket contains. 4 lobster tails, 12 shrimp, 2 corn on the cobs, chicken, steam, rice and beans, tortilla, and a salad (or up charge soup) plus fried ice cream at the end. OMG! It was soooo good, the food is flash fried which worked perfectly for this meal. Everything was cooked perfectly, j clouding the lobster. I enjoyed every bite. I will say I split this with my boyfriend and there was sooo much food that by the time the ice cream came around it was hard to fully indulge in because I was so stuffed! Modal night the deal brings this meal to about 70/80 dollars. That is honestly so much food and hard to come by in 2026! I've been telling so many of my friends about the experience here. The servers were attentive and very knowledgeable. The place looks like a cute tiki dive bar but restaurant style. It' has a cute waterfall that we were able to sit next to. Also their cocktails are nice! Cannot wait to go back

    Service: 100/100 Drinks: 50/100…read moreFood: 20/100 Ordered the Golden Sombrero meal ($149 for two) and got the add-on chowder which was actually good. The lobster was good, shrimp pretty meh but the Alaskan King Crab ruined just about everything. Steak was ordered Medium but came out Done, chicken was basic, and corn was chewy and not fresh like it had been boiled, steamed, and then grilled. The margaritas we ordered were too sweet and about 16oz with only one shot in the drink ($18 each) not worth the price for juice and hardly any alcohol. Now, back to the ruinous Alaskan King Crap (not a typo). The crab was molting which means when you crack open the shell there's a leathery skin on the meat inside that's supposed to replace the outer shell when the crab is still growing, this extends to the spikier parts of the crab and if swallowed could cause issues and is dangerous to eat. My girlfriend and I tried to eat around it and see if it was just a few legs but it was the whole damned thing. Our wonderful server offered us a replacement of snow crab but our total bill was never adjusted so we paid for King Crab and never got it. I hear that this is par for the course for this place which is sad because this place used to be pretty legendary. Too bad, I don't recommend but left a star for our server who was awesome.
