    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!

    Poke

    This place is AMAZING! They have one of the biggest cheese islands I have ever seen, an international section with great selections, and of course, POKE!!! It has been my lifelong dream to get bowl of Hawaiian style poke without rice and boy did they deliver!! I filled one of their poke bowls about halfway with poke and it was only $13!! Most places these days charge more than that for a tiny bit of poke over a huge bed of rice. The employees were friendly and the store was very clean and spacious! Might be my new favorite grocery store

    Bristol Farms is a great spot to come for lunch. The sushi and poke bar is amazing and always feels super fresh and healthy. It is one of my favorite quick lunch options. The sandwiches and soups are solid too, and they have a really good selection of protein bars and specialty items. That said, this is a very expensive grocery store, so I would not come here for my weekly grocery shopping. It is more of a premium stop for prepared foods and specialty items than an everyday market for me.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Have sweet tooth check out the variety

    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.

    We will be in Newport for Thanksgiving and want to bring home a pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner. I have heard Whole Foods does this as well and wondering what places are the best to get premade Thanksgiving dinner near Newport Beach? Thanks! :)

    we were gifted for a Thanksgiving meal two years ago, it was beyond fabulous; they have everything so well organized for pick up and the preparation is SO MUCH easier than spending hour upon hour in the kitchen. Expensive and well worth it!

    Took me this long to finally try Bear Flag, and it did not disappoint!…read more Got a 1/2 pound of salmon poke and 1/2 pound of ahi tuna poke., and they each came with a side of tortilla chips! The salmon was buttery and soft, while the tuna was flavorful. Honestly don't know which one I liked more, they were both delicious. 'Bear Flag Taco': this tasted really fresh and light, felt like I could have multiple! 'Pineapple Margarita': I believe this was their special drink of the day, and it was only around $12! Personally thought it was strong, so it's such a good deal! Verdict: i didn't have high expectations, but everything I tried was actually really yummy!

    One of the Worst First Impressions I've Had at a Restaurant…read more I recently moved to Newport Beach and came across Bear Flag Fish Co. while shopping. It was my first time there, and unfortunately, it will probably be my last. I ordered a sushi lobster roll that was around $35. The menu did not clearly disclose the ingredients, and nobody explained to me what was included in the roll. When it arrived, it was covered in a very heavy amount of mayonnaise and other sauces mixed together. Because I have allergies to certain ingredients, I politely asked the waiter if they could take it back and prepare one without the sauces. The waiter was actually very polite and handled the request professionally. I had no issue with him whatsoever. Then JUAN, THE MANAGER, came over. Instead of trying to understand the situation or simply resolving the issue, he questioned why I would return an expensive item after it had already been prepared. I explained very clearly that the ingredients had not been disclosed to me and that I had an allergy, which was the reason I needed it prepared differently. His response was extremely unprofessional. Rather than showing concern about a customer's allergy or acknowledging that the ingredients could have been explained more clearly, he basically told me that the issue with the ingredients was not his business. Seriously? A customer comes into your restaurant for the first time, spends money on a $35 roll, explains that they have a food allergy, and this is how the manager chooses to handle the situation? Mistakes happen. Restaurants get orders wrong. That isn't what bothered me. The way management treated me after I politely explained the problem is what bothered me. For a restaurant charging premium prices, I expect premium-level customer service and professionalism. Instead, I left feeling like my concerns were an inconvenience. JUAN, as the manager, should understand that customer service is part of his job. If a customer has an allergy concern, the appropriate response should be to listen, clarify the ingredients, and find a reasonable solution--not argue with the customer about the cost of the food. The waiter was courteous and tried to help, so I want to give him credit for that. Unfortunately, the manager's behavior completely overshadowed the rest of the experience. First impression: extremely disappointing. If you're going to charge around $35 for a roll, customers should be able to expect clear communication about what's in their food and professional treatment when they raise a legitimate allergy concern. I came in as a new customer who was simply looking for a good place to eat in my new neighborhood. Instead, I walked away wondering how a restaurant with these prices can have management that handles customers this way.

I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.
