Reviews for Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom in Newport Beach, CA

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 verygenerous. Cocktails were $7 during happy hour and were basically 99:1 alcohol to mixer. The service was friendly and attentive.All good vibes. Read more

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! Read more

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 correctingredients please bring some other drink I stated. When we stated my drink was not drinkable, he understood and provided me theother drink. Did not charge us for the martini. Appetizers or so-so and the entreé was underwhelming. If you want bread youwill be changed for it. Service was above average, checking in on a regular basis. Don't know if we'll give the place a secondchance. Read more

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. Read more

Felix is amazing and the view is simply the best. Cioppino is great and filled mignon. Must try.
