    The ambiance is cool and the service is great. We shared several dishes. The location is on 30th street and easy to spot.

    Beer
    Shahram M.

    Enjoyable evening in the patio at this Resy restaurant. We took our dog which was awesome. The atmosphere was festive. I had a couple of their Pilsner beer that comes in a cold can. My wife has a glass of redwine. We had ther nachos to start which was amazing. We also had the meat ball sandwich. Meh. Ther shrimp adobo. Very spicy and one of their salads with chicken. All in all food was a 4 star. Bio came to $160 for 4 people which I guess these days is average.

    duck fat potatoes  bruschetta
    Ana C.

    Our go to for a nice ambiance lighting dinner date. We have gone to both locations and they don't disappoint. Their duck fat fries, bruschetta and pizzas are a must when coming here. We also like their drinks and it's reasonably priced. The girls that work here are also very kind and friendly and willing to help you decide on food depending on your mood!

    Ribeye & house flatbread
    Karina O.

    Arc is an absolute favorite. The food and the rotating wine selection is amazing. Not pictured but the dip trio is a must, they have the best hummus! The pizza and ribeye were perfectly cooked. Enjoyed the evening on the patio eating and talking, this is a place you can come for dinner but stay for what feels like hours. They are very packed and a smaller sized restaurant so I would recommend making a reservation.

    Chicken fingers and dips
    Sylvia G.

    Awesome little spot! Plates are big to share and food is great! We started with the chicken nuggets and they were delicious. The appetizer that comes with three dips was also amazing the tzatziki was one like I've never tasted before, must get. And we finished with the tacos which were delicious (steak and chicken). service was great too!

    We opted for the indoor high top seating. Traditional seating in the outside patio available for larger groups.

    This is a local, upscale yet casual dining! We got here at 1pm and saw a couple other parties seated in the outside patio. Soon after we were seated high top inside the restaurant, the outside dining areas filled rather quickly with families, couples and friends for a late lunch affair. Upon entering we were greeted by Sara who sat us down in own choice area seating located inside the restaurant. She asked if this was our first time to dine here and we said "yes." She mentioned that much of the menu items are meant to be shared. Throughout the course of our dining experience, she came to check-in on us, and our table was bussed often. Before I ordered I went to the all gender restroom to wash my hands. The other restroom was occupied. While the restroom I used was oddly shaped, cramped , and dark...it was fully stocked. For starters, we ordered the crab cakes from the nibble and bites. It came as a couple of "meatball sized" breaded & served over horizontally thin sliced asparagus, which was novel! Loved the texture and flavors though I will agree with my companion that it was on the salty side. My companion ordered the Summer Seltzer and all I can tell you is that he demolished it before we finished eating...it hit him later and he didn't realize that "aperitif " is a light and yet still has alcohol. Personally, I ate the sliced cucumber that came in the drink! Refreshing indeed!! From the snack side of the menu, we ordered the bruschetta. Beautiful presentation with three slices cut in half doused with so much flavor, though i must say and my companion agrees that it was just a tad bit on the acidic side. Other than that...the crunch, the flavors all meld into this symphony of flavors. My companion ordered the tuna melt, I took a bite of it and it was good. He enjoyed his sandwich. Serving size was usual. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp salad. Shrimp was fresh. The flavors were phenomenal and serving size is perfect for one person. Would love to return with entire family to try out other items on the menu. If you are in Newport Beach and looking to give your tastebuds a kick start, this place is a must try! Paid parking on street and parking lot across the restaurant. Make sure you read all the signs so you don't get towed.

    Steak Sandwich
    Ana M.

    Love this cute little hidden Gem in New Port! The bread they use for sandwiches cant be any better! Every bite of the steak sandwich is a spread of joy in your mouth! Service is fantastic too! They have nice salad menu as well! Only 5 minutes walk to the beach and this heaven wont make you regret at all! Loved it and will be my usu!

    the wedge
    Brigitte B.

    I love wedge salad and this one definitely didn't disappoint! It was huge and probably typically is for 2 to 3 people but I had it for myself. it is $28 but they made every dollar worth it I tell you ! Nice crispy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, pickled red onions, thick cut bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Yum!!! I came on a Sunday around 130 which as expected is busier than usual. It was an all girl team working and they were kicking ass! The host was super sweet and efficient, the manager was doing her thing and helping, and the servers were bussing tables and making drinks! Go girls! I was just one person dining alone and Thankfully I was able to sneak my way onto a table on the patio in the sun, which was so nice. The restaurant was very busy, but my server Jackie was very attentive and brought my cocktail/salad out quickly. My only advice is be ready to pay your car at the machine because the Wi-Fi service down there is basically nonexistent to pay online. What a great solo Sunday!

    short rib flatbread
    Cherish S.

    this place is super cute! we found it on a whim while pulling up to the beach on labor day! we were able to walk in to a lovely brunch with an aesthetically pleasing garden patio! the food was SO GOOD and very filling for us 4 girls. bill wasn't bad either, and we had wine and mimosas! great find!

    Lamb empanadas
    Danielle B.

    Recently came here for a date night and we had a lovely experience. We started with the fried olives and lamb empanadas. Both were fantastic and easily shared between 2 people. For my main dish, I got the sirloin with charred Brussels and Mac n cheese to share. The sirloin was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Mac n cheese was the perfect addition!

    Spritzer that was perfect
    Lori J.

    My husband and I stopped by for lunch and it was wonderful! The outdoor patio was secluded & comfortable with great music - it felt like a bistro in France. The waitress was prompt, and friendly. Loved the recommendation of the steak sandwich and pepperoni flatbread. The deviled eggs we fluffy and light. It was all SO GOOD! The bread was perfectly baked, the steak wasn't overwhelming or overcooked and the flatbread had the right mix of savory and spice. Fantastic spot and we can't wait to go back for brunch!

    Arugula Salad with chicken
    Chloe V.

    Ambiance: Loved loved loved the ambiance! We had a reservation for 6:30pm on a Tuesday, and we decided to sit in the patio area. It was so quaint and cozy, decorated with Christmas decorations. They had heaters too since it was a cold night. Service: Service was great! Megan (not sure if that's the correct spelling) was an awesome server! Quick and attentive! Even nice enough to switch out the wine that my boyfriend ordered since he didn't like his first choice. Food: The arugula salad was bomb. We opted to add chicken to it, and we demolished it. We also ordered the garlic meatballs, but I was kind of disappointed in how they tasted. All the reviews seemed to hype them up, but when we got ours, they were really hard on the outside and dry in the inside. The sauce it came with though, was good.

It wasn't overly sweet like a lot of brunch spots tend to do. The balance was just right, letting the flavors shine without feeling like dessert for breakfast. The blueberries, maple syrup, and cream brought everything together perfectly. The spicy shrimp pasta was equally impressive. It had a great kick to it, but the spice didn't overpower the dish. You could still taste all the flavors of the pasta, shrimp, and sauce. That's a rare thing because too many places mistake heat for flavor. Great Maple got it right. The restaurant was very busy, which is usually a good sign, but despite the crowd, the service never slipped. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly. If I had one minor complaint, it's that the popularity means you should expect a wait during peak hours. But after eating here, it's easy to understand why it's packed. Excellent food, attentive service, and a brunch experience that's worth coming back for. Human beings may disagree on politics, sports, and whether pineapple belongs on pizza, but Great Maple serving great food feels like one of the easier things to agree on.

I started with their French Onion Soup which was worth the price. One of the best I've had. Per the menu its French 75's recipe. Brunch was ok. Not the best or worst. I had the breakfast burrito and my wife had the omelette. Both good. Portions were large though so we just enjoyed the ambiance while ignoring the awkwardness of our neighboring tables. Cocktails were good. I saw a guy rocking out to the music on his 4th espresso martini so I ordered one of those. It'll give you both an alcohol and caffeine buzz. Can't imagine drinking 4! My wife's fruity cocktail was also good. We both enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back. Just wish I could have scored a water view table!

Our server was fantastic and checked on us regularly, making sure our water glasses were refilled and our cocktails delish. The food was fine. Not the most amazing meal but it is more than made up for with the views and the staff!

    TLDR; Pretty sure this spot used to a pretty crappy brunch buffet spot. Decided to come and see…read morewhat the new spot is like. Advertised live dj on sundays when we made reservations and there was no live music. Food is overall bland as hell, steak was chewy and dry and unsalted it seems. Chicken and waffles board was probably the worst chicken and waffles I've had, and all the sides that came with it seemed random as hell. We were excited to try a newish brunch spot out and to get a bottle of champagne for mimosas. Little did we know, that the mimosa would be the best part of the meal. This spot replaced a super crappy brunch buffet, that was one of the saddest buffets I've ever been to. Saw that they opened a new concept and saw that they advertised live DJs on sundays for brunch. So we decided to try it. We sat down and ordered the chicken and waffles platter and steak and salad plate. The chicken and waffle plate was really not that good, not a single item on the platter was good. Waffles, you can tell they tried to make it fancy, but just tasted weird and dry. The syrup, looks like they make in house also, not sweet enough and bland. The chicken was the least bland item out of everything, but it's not worth it at all. The steak was one of the chewiest, dry steaks I've had in a while also under seasoned, maybe even no salt. The chicken platter also had random items on it, that made no sense. Random sprigs of rosemary, marshmallow amongst other items. Nothing seemed to gel and it looked like they were just trying to fill the space with easy things. The mimosas that came with the chicken and waffles platter was the star of our meal. Honestly, I'd say it's hard to make food taste this bland and whatevers. With what they are charging, the steak shouldn't be dry and chewy, let alone not seasoned. Everything was under seasoned like we were in a cardiatric ward in the hospital. You can make better food following any recipe on YouTube. 2 stars for the mimosa and the server was very friendly, service wasn't anything to write home about though. Not busy at all, and a lot of workers just standing around. We didn't get checked on much throughout the meal. Oh and the valet was free at least.

Their Lobster roll took a long time. By the time we had server check, the rest of party was finishing up their food. I gave one of my mahi tacos, so my friend didn't have to sit awkwardly while we all ate. Guests ordered: Calamari appetizer- crispy, but soft to chew. Flavorful and not heavy batter. Wasn't overcooked and everyone enjoyed it with the sauce it came with. Elderflower Guava mimosa-- refreshing and tastes tropical and light. Guava taste is apparent if you like guava. Something diff if you want to change it up in flavor! Sorry didn't take pic of that. Lobster roll-- Actually really fresh and decent amount of lobster meat given. The bun was a brioche type bun, slightly toasted. Overall, good, but not sure it was worth that long of a wait for it. It came out late, so I wasn't about to take pic of it knowing my friend is starving. Haha Ahi Sandwich--- came with some fries and side salad. Tuna was seared perfectly and not overcooked. Well seasoned too. Bun was slightly toasted. Dressing on salad was a light vinaigrette. Salad looked clean and bright in color. Mahi Mahi--- the corn tortillas must be fresh, because it's soft and thick and elevates the whole dish. If you like spicy, this definitely has a nice kick to it with the seasoning and sauce. Loved it! Fish and Chips-- was good. Crispy and fish not overcooked. Fries are fries anywhere. lol Clam Chowder-- not too salty in comparison to other places. Decent amount of clams. Has a creamy texture, not too thick and not too watery. Nothing irks me more when it's full of potatoes. This had the right amount of potatoes and clams. Lemon Blueberry Pancakes-- Nailed it! Felt like eating dessert! If you love blueberries, this one is for you. Didn't taste a lot of lemon flavors, but it's probably mixed in there somewhere with the syrup and probably lemon zest. Chicken and Waffles--- Chicken was seasoned well and has a nice crunch to it. Not enough chicken in my opinion. Chicken piece looked small in comparison to two thick slabs of waffles. It was good, but wouldn't get it again. If you've had chicken and waffles in Long Beach, IYKYK. Wonderful view of Marina as usual. Our server was super nice and efficient. She had a calm and friendly demeanor about her. She saw we were trying to take pics and offered to take a a few of our table. How thoughtful. It's the small things that matter the most. Details, details! Overall, we had a pleasant time. Thank you!
