    Perfectly stacked fruit
    Elle M.

    I am passionate about a good grocery store and this is the best grocery store in Newpies, hands down. Let me tell you why:: *Its clean, organized and modern * They play Mazzy Star *Its right next to Sur la Table BUT: *The fruit section is GORGEOUS. Have you ever said that about a fruit section of a grocery store? PERFECTLY ORGANIZED. Immaculate. *They carry sumo oranges and mandarin oranges with the branches and leaves still on them. They also have asian apple pears. *They have the propitious mango and peach ice cream novelties! *Grind your own nut butters *Great wine section *Generous fresh flower department * Large enough to have variety but small enough to navigate easily * Whipped coconut cream and fresh young coconuts for drinking OmG finally a grocery store designed and managed by people who love finding good food.

    I absolutely love coming here. They have a delicious hot bar with lots of varietes. This particular visit I came to grab a few items for Christmas. They had things I'd never seen elsewhere. But before leaving, we had to buy one of their cookies. Yum! Literally one of our favorites. Always a great experience at Bristol Farms. Their store is spotless and their service is top notch.

    I love this store. I wish they had one closer to my home, but my wife and I will drive here when we need fresh fish. Since Santa Monica Seafood closed in Costa Mesa, this is the only place that has premium large filets of fresh fish. Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. My wife and I went last Sunday morning. We can't just purchase the one particular item we intended to shop for. We have no self-control and visit every department section and end up purchasing fresh produce, bakery, and wine. LOL!

    Hot bar is great.

    My friend had her art displayed at the Newport Beach library and we all went to go see it. For lunch we decided to stop at Bristol Farm. Their hot food and salad bar is small but mighty. I was very impressed. I grabbed the greenest kale salad I've ever seen plus some proteins. It is $11.99 a pound and well worth it because I ate it for three days. Also pro tip at Bristol Farms you can go to the cookie counter and ask them for a sample of their chocolate chip cookie and they will give it to you. It is warm and it is gooey and if you really really like it it's only $4.00 a cookie. There's a cafe are inside you can sit at also. Easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

    I never go here because it's so pricey but I was just browsing and found so many good things in the hot food section. I didn't want to go crazy or else I wouldn't have any money for essentials. I was a little sick so i decided to get some of their hot soup. I just got the chicken noodle, perfect for my sickness and i have to admit, it was yummy. I would definitely get it again and when i have extra money and in the area, i definitely want to try a breakfast burrito and some other stuff in the area.

    I love coming here very much because there is a lot of delicious food from the hot bar to choose from, and the people are super nice.

    8/10/24 Floral dept right at the entrance

    8/10/24 Another browsing experience to see what this supermarket has to offer. Just like Gelson's, I consider Bristol Farms as another upscale place to purchase groceries. They offer quality fresh produce, meats, dairy & other essentials. I like the layout & aesthetics, aisles are neatly arranged, so are the produce--see photos. You can tell the staff take the time for the products to look pristinely stacked. The delicatessen looks impressive with a variety of foods to select from. The salad bar boasts fresh ingredients, also selling at $12/lb. Everything at this store looks well maintained. The floral dept also looks like it has a good selection of plants & fresh flowers although I think that Gelson's has more tasteful arrangements. Depending on what you're looking for or what you're into, both Gelson's & Bristol Farms are equally great upscale supermarkets. These two are not in the same league as Ralphs or Albertsons. To each his/her own. If you're looking for top/quality products with equally higher price tag, this is it.

    Have sweet tooth check out the variety

    Who can forget the Ham on Thanksgiving ? Me that's who ! So came to Bristol Farms to pick one up & I always feel the warm welcome from the staff here it's very reassuring & makes me glad that I'm back home. It's always very clean shelves are faced never disorganized, seafood is always fresh, & meats always best cut there is. Have a sweet tooth check out their candy isle. HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL MAY YOU & YOUR FAMILY BE BLESSED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

    The "Chocolate Chip" and "Peanut Butter" Cookies. The absolute best best I've ever had!
    Cory G.

    I forgot how delicious this place was!! Stopped today and grabbed a couple "Chocolate Chip" and "Peanut Butter" Cookies. The absolute best I've ever had, also got a delicious wedge salad. As usual the service here is amazing and the vibe is very chill.

    I love the milk chocolate cookie at Bristol Farms! It's soft, buttery, and packed with creamy chocolate chunks. Perfect sweetness and always fresh -- definitely one of my favorite cookies in town.

For our main course, we had the beef ribs, and they were absolutely outstanding. Definitely a must. The restaurant was clean, the food came out in good time, and the staff consistently checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was going well. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which made for a very enjoyable dining experience. One thing to keep in mind is that this isn't really a kid friendly restaurant. They don't provide high chairs or many conveniences for young children, and they make that clear. That said, they were never rude about it. We brought our own clip-on high chair, and they were perfectly accommodating. The staff was also very kind and friendly to our 15-month-old son, which we really appreciated. Overall, the food and service were excellent, and we'd definitely come back--especially for those beef ribs!

I left at approximately 2:22 p.m. The atmosphere was great, but I was disappointed with the service. My server, Candy, checked on me only a couple of times during my visit. I understand that servers get busy, and I have no issue when another team member delivers food or drinks. However, after my drink arrived, I waited quite a while without anyone checking back in. Eventually, I had to go inside and ask the bartender for my check because no one had come by. When Candy saw me inside, she mentioned that she had been keeping an eye on me. I respectfully told her I was disappointed because I didn't feel attended to. I have worked in the restaurant industry myself, and my brother has been a General Manager for The Cheesecake Factory, so I understand how demanding restaurant service can be. This did not seem like a situation where the restaurant was overwhelmed, as it was not particularly busy during my visit. I want to be clear that my intention is not to get anyone in trouble. In fact, I still left Candy a good tip because I know firsthand how challenging serving can be. My hope is simply that Gulfstream reminds its staff to give the same level of attention to every guest, including those seated in the outdoor lounge area. Every customer should feel equally valued, regardless of where they are seated.

The staff who assisted with seating and bringing silverware were also friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our dining experience declined once our order was taken. We ordered the Beets Salad as our starter, followed by the Chicken Piccata and Salmon as our entrées. The salad arrived within about five minutes, but we then waited nearly 40 minutes for our main courses without any acknowledgment or update. When I asked our waitress about the delay, her only response was, "Your order was fired 15 minutes ago." When I asked why it had taken so long, she simply repeated the same statement. At no point did she offer a sincere apology or show any empathy for the extended wait. As someone who has owned and managed businesses, I know that delays can happen. However, a simple apology and proactive communication can make all the difference in how guests perceive the experience. The food itself was excellent, and both entrées were well prepared. Unfortunately, the service continued to disappoint. After we finished our meals, our waitress immediately cleared our plates and brought the check without asking whether we would like dessert, coffee, or anything else to finish our evening. That was surprising and made us feel rushed. I rarely leave negative reviews because I understand that every business can have an off night. In this case, however, the issue was not the kitchen delay--it was the lack of communication, empathy, and basic hospitality. Had our waitress simply apologized, kept us informed, or involved a manager, this review likely would not have been necessary. I hope management views this as constructive feedback. Andrea and several other staff members represented the restaurant exceptionally well, but I believe additional customer service training would help ensure that situations like this are handled with greater professionalism and care in the future.

Since I like partaking in sweets while traveling, I decided to go in and check this place out. BC is a decent size for a candy shop; the merch is scattered throughout the floor and they stock a mix of loose generic candy you can buy in bags or bulk, and branded confections. The focal point is the center counter that houses chocolates and a few other selections. The stock was a little sparse if I'm being honest; I'm used to really showy candy shops along the shore with a vast variety of merchandise, but I didn't find that here. I decided to pick up some Australian licorice and some of their jumbo peanut butter cups. I'm familiar with the brand of licorice, but as far as the chocolate it was quite good - the cup was stuffed generously with peanut butter. It was also very smooth which gave it a good mouthfeel. Service was friendly, but overall I didn't think Balboa Candy was anything too noteworthy. Good as a standard candy store, but I've been to better ones.
