Shout out to Hunter and all the other great servers today! My friend and I sat on their lovely patio and enjoyed a fantastic lunch together. I ordered the wedge salad and it came with crispy bacon and really creamy dressing. It was an A+. I also had to get a side of the shoe string fries and they were perfect. I loved the ranch dressing for dipping! Also, they have a really yummy tropical iced tea that was perfect on a warm day. There were so many great items on the menu. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

My first time dining in at 59th & Lex Cafe located inside Bloomingdale's. After some shopping, I decided to grab lunch. My stomach was growling. Needed some nutrients in my body. Restaurant looked appealing, therefore gave it a try. I'm always walking past it every time visiting Newport Fashion Island curious if it's good or not. Service wasn't the best as I walked in. Barely any greeting with no attentive of me strolling in. I took the initiative acknowledging the staff first. Totally opposite, but had to be kind so I can get seated. Bri was my server who took care of me. So service improved. I ordered the Ribeye steak sandwich with house salad on the side. Sandwich was just a little dry with no sauce. I kindly asked for some truffle garlic sauce to be added. Boom! Made the sandwich exploded in my mouth! It was that good! Couldn't finish it all, so I saved the other half for dinner. After my meal, had to wash it down with an espresso martini. Not the best, but I had better. Overall, my experience went well and I will continue to visit. read more

This restaurant is fine. The food is okay. Nothing amazing. It's nice to sit outside and people watch. The staff is nice but it just takes a long time to get food and process everything. We had a burger, chicken salad sandwich and the Tuscan chicken wrap. All were under seasoned and lacked some flavor. The Chicken pozole soup was fantastic. I would probably not come back accept for sitting outside. read more

There were plenty of tables to sit 8 of us at the patio (if they moved tables). We said we can split 4 and 4 if they can't move tables. They said no because it would require two separate servers. Hopefully management sees this and improve on training. read more

The place is still pretty good, great portions for the money. It's just a shame that they took out over 80% of their menu not a whole lot of choices left. read more

Surprising little find inside a Bloomingdale's. Definitely thought that this would be a mall trap, but actually shaped up to be one of the better eateries at Fashion Island. Good food options. Decent portion size. Great for kids. Priced fairly. No wait or crowd on a Saturday lunchtime. I would recommend sitting in the patio area if you can. The space inside feels a little cramp, more like a cozy cafe. Servers were really friendly. Many of the other customers were regulars. read more

Maybe the great food and service last times was a fluke. Today'a service was absolutely horrible - the worst I have had in years. The burger came out VERY pink when ordered medium well. All the food was bland. I could have ignored that but the service wow. He took the order, never came back until food was ready (which took a while). We had to get bread from someone else's server. The host brought us drinks. It wasn't even busy but our server just disappeared. Finally brought us food, and never saw him again for probably 30-45 minutes. I had to ask someone else for refils and the check. The host let me know he asked the server for the check twice now and so finally I went inside and jokingly said if I can't pay in 5 minutes I'm going to leave because I'm done begging to pay lol. I told them about our experience. They laughed with me and a girl printed our ticket and let me pay. She was very friendly and attentive to her tables near us. I asked for a manager and they said there wasn't one in today he called out. I would like a refund but nobody was there to authorize anything or even help out. That was also crazy to me. How do you correctly run a restaurant without any management?! read more

Had the turkey club first time I went. This time I had a Greek salad with chicken. Both times the food was good, but not outstanding. Felt my salad was mostly lettuce. Expected a little more for the price. Good place to people-watch. And I love sitting outside. Wait staff has always been very friendly. read more

Me and my family come here often with a group of about 8-12 each time and we are always accommodated. The food here is GREAT & so surprisingly well priced for being Newport Beach. The service is always great. Today we had Breanna and she was awesome. My family can be annoying too, every time she came back to our table someone had a new request instead of clustering their requests in one trip!. It was embarrassing but she handled it with grace and a great attitude. It was my mom's birthday and having her as a server was awesome. I've never had a dish here that I didn't like. We love coming here. It's the only place we'll eat lunch when we come to fashion island! read more

The orange glaze salmon salad is my new lunch obsession!! Great restaurant for an outdoor lunch with girlfriends. I just wish there was music for a better ambience. But I still love it here. Service could be a bit better but they do get busy around lunch time so I understand. read more

For my final lunch of Restaurant Week 2023, I decided to go to Fashion Island. It worked out since there were also some other things going on at the mall during that day, so this was a convenient spot. Sadly, the food did not quite live up to my expectations, especially considering this was in Bloomingdales. For $25 you got to pick one appetizer and one entree. One nice thing I will say is that the meal came with complimentary bread and this was the only place (besides chips at a Mexican restaurant) that gave me free bread, so that was a nice surprise. Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Caper Remoulade - This sounded good in concept, but the execution is a different story. To my knowledge, I have never had a remoulade sauce before, but from a search, it is usually a bit more orange in color. What I got instead was a very white sauce that tasted like ranch. And I don't mind ranch, but there was so much that it was overwhelming and I tried my best to avoid it. The asparagus and prosciutto were okay, but not too flavorful. Salmon Scampi - All of the entrees I got to choose from sounded really good, but I chose the salmon since I had not had salmon all week and it is my favorite fish. And overall, I did like this dish, but it definitely felt like a step down compared to everything else I had been eating this week. The mushrooms were a bit slimy for my liking, but I enjoyed the mashed potatoes and fish. While I might not be going back, the service at this place was excellent and they were very attentive. The food came out so quickly I did not have time to finish my appetizer before my entree came out! read more

4 plus stars! Ate outside , a bit chilly at 5 pm but dressed appropriately. Not a huge menu but everything we have had in recent visits has been great. The service is friendly and very professional. The prices are fair and less than you would pay at other restaurants of this quality. read more

A little pricy but very nice! We had the Caprese sandwich and the warm goat cheese salad. The sandwich was great, with burrata and pesto. As a side I took the ceasar's salad which had too much dressing. The goat cheese salad was very good too albeit a little small. The people a table over had the Caprese salad, which was mostly a chunk of Burrata and Bout half an avocado. I'm glad I opted for the sandwich. We will be back. read more

exceptional menu service and ambience. Bring well behaved dog! Well mannered children pending approval.

Outdoor patio cafe in Fashion Island - right in front of Bloomingdale's. I met up with an old high school buddy of mine to catch up and since it was a nice sunny weekday I decided this place would be perfect on a mild winter day. The weather was nice however the service left something to be desired. Our server was nice but seemed forgetful and possibly too overwhelmed...maybe. The place is not huge but it was full of patrons. I got the tuna sandwich along with their steak fries and a latte (side note: server forgot about my latte and I was able to finally get it after 45 min) - all pretty good (7.5/10)- and my friend got their steak, medium rare, but it came out way more rare. He attempted for quite some time to send it back but we could not find our server. We did end up asking another server who said he would get our guy but that took another 10-15 minutes. Luckily we weren't in a rush so we just caught up, talked about our respective lives and businesses in a fairly nice atmosphere. Oh, I forgot to mention that I ordered a side of ranch dressing for my fries that never showed up either. I would give this restaurant another chance but I'm not in any rush to go back as well. Nothing on the menu pops out as a must-try item. read more

Found this little place because it was one of the places in Fashion Island that wasn't booked. Two friends and I ordered the California Caprese, Shrimp Cakes, Orange Glazed Salmon and Organic Quinoa Salad, and Beef Stroganoff. We loved them all except for the beef stroganoff, which was plain and not tasty at all. The salmon was one of the most tender and moist I have ever had, along with a delicious dressing! read more

Had another amazing lunch here at 59th and Lex Cafe! Love their wide selection of foods to choose from. Very healthy choices and generous portions. I got the Salmon Honey Walnut and Veggie special. It was amazing! Great taste, clean, fresh and perfect portion size. Also got the Tuna Sandwich on Sour Dough for a later meal. Also great sandwich that went perfect with my side Cesar Salad. There are so many great choices here I always have a hard time deciding what to get. This place has great food and service. Derrick gave me excellent service and was very knowledgeable of the menu. He recommended the dishes I got and I was glad I went with his suggestions. The outdoor seating is great on a clear sunny day. Highly recommended eating here! read more

Good food. I would definitely recommend. I like the wraps. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

I had the salmon salad and it was delicious. It's a very good place to dine. I would go back.

I have to say I've been really happy eating here. The service has always been excellent, even when very busy. It's nice to sit outside. It's very comfortable and the heaters are nice when it's cold. The food has been very good. Everyone has been happy with their choices. I loved the chimichurri steak and was sad to see it go. The replacement was lovely, but I preferred the chimichurri. That's the worst thing I can say! read more

We like this restaurant. The server was wonderful and the food delish. My daughters and I shared a sammy and salad. My son got a burger and my husband also got a salad. We also got a side of fries and were undecided between steak or skinny fries. The server offered for us yo receive half of each. Both were very good. We've been here a few times and the good and service has consistently been great. We will be back. read more

First of all let me say that I live directly across the street from Fashion Island, and I've eaten in every restaurant multiple times that exists. This is the MOST friendly and especially DOG friendly restaurant that exists. Not only did MOST the staff come say hello to me and my animal, their service is a cut above the rest of the fashion island restaurants. I'm a regular here, and 99.9% of the time the people who complain are just Ass hole, who will complain about anything. TRUTH. This is Newport Beach after all. Give this place a shot especially if you have a dog. read more

Absolutely amazing! It has incredible food, ambience, and service. Jack is especially attentive!

The food is great at this place. The staff is very kind and are on top of the service. I recommend this place to everyone.

It feels like going on vacation to sit in the garden. The food is amazing. The service is amazing. The price is...........quite expensive. The Menu is limited. Their salads are creative and beautifully presented. I have tried three of them. And I will probably go again. read more

I ordered my food for takeout, so I can't speak to the ambiance. My salad was delicious, made exactly the way I had asked. I picked it up at the counter from a friendly employee. I order the same salad every time and it is always delicious and the same. I think there is something to be said for consistency. read more

The delicious French fries are back!! Well, they have been for a while, but I'm just now writing this review. So good! Last time, I really wanted like 3 orders of fries, but I thought it would look weird so I had fries and the California caprese. I really think all capreses (capresi??) should be made with burrata. My dog made the mistake of coming with me (he really hates shopping...), but he had a fun time eating the turkey off my mom's salad, getting pets and then staring at the koi pond after. I can't think of a more perfect day than lunch at Bloomingdale's and an afternoon of shopping! read more
