Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom, Newport Beach CA

A hidden gem on the bar and lounge side. Happy hour all day every day menu is way better than expected. Staff was happy and personable. Full view of harbor allows plenty of boat watching.

Very nice! Beautiful view of the bay, which was just what we wanted. Food was great and there is a full bar!

What a fantastic place. Food was great, and the view out on the harbor is amazing. Solomon was a great server. The seven in our party gave this place 2 enthusiastic thumbs up.that's a awe inspiring 14 thumbs.

Racist restaurant! We were the only minorities there. My boyfriend and I waited for 30 minutes after getting seated and no one came to ask us if we needed anything. Meanwhile, a family of 6 that came way after us was helped before us. We decided to walk out. Outrageous!

We were the only non white people and they didn’t even care to serve us once they sat us down. 30 mins passed and not a word, meanwhile they were helping white folks who got there much later than we did

It was just fine. Nothing great to say except our waiter-Chad. Entrees were mid range+ in price and not a stood as we thought they should be. Appetizers were good price.the clam chowder was luke warm and flavor lacking- however the clams were the best part. Probably would not choose here again for me.

A great location, with great food and friendly staff. Madelene is one of the best bartenders on the peninsula. She genuinely cares about her customers and takes the extra time to make sure everything is done right the first time. If you're looking for a great restaurant on the waterfront with a good view make sure not to miss this one. The food is always consistently great and the drinks are fantastic.

Great place to go for happy hour while you're waiting for your whale watching cruise. The drinks and food are tasty, and there's a large selection of happy hour food items, from $5 to $9. The parmesan truffle fries were only $5, and the portion was very generous. Cocktails were $7 during happy hour and were basically 99: 1 alcohol to mixer. The service was friendly and attentive. All good vibes.

Excellent food & excellent service! We LOVED the clam chowder and Caesar salads we had. It was priced OK for the area too. Really liked the Happy Hour menu. We come back here in a second! Great place! Great views!

Great location but the quailing of the food has really worsened. One of the things that we ordered was the fish and chips which looked like they were old. The breading was too thick, soggy and separated from the fish. The soup was lukewarm at best.

Great food! Great price! And Great service! Conner was an amazing waiter and kind young man!

Perfect spot for happy hour lunch or dinner. Great selection of food and drinks. Nice view of the harbor and good service. Ahint nachos were great. Check this place out for an economical lunch or early dinner with a view.

Had a great time eating their Chicken Penne pasta and Breanna was really nice to us.
Merci beaucoup for the service.
Can't wait to go back.

Service outstanding! Food delicious! Xlnt ambiance! Great memories! Lunch reasonably priced, but call (premium) liquor drinks were outrageously expensive, for a Wed 2p lunch ($12 ea). Otherwise, fantastic. Definitely recommend & will return.

If your looking for an old school dining experience Harborside is your place. Asked for a pomegranate martini and was served something that none of us could figure out. I stated to the person serving us if the bartender didn't have the correct ingredients please bring some other drink I stated. When we stated my drink was not drinkable, he understood and provided me the other drink. Did not charge us for the martini.
Appetizers or so-so and the entreé was underwhelming. If you want bread you will be changed for it.
Service was above average, checking in on a regular basis.
Don't know if we'll give the place a second chance.

Nice spot to have a bit to eat with a cold beverage. Nice view of the water. Service was on spot. A/C was much needed on this warm beautiful day.
