    Traditional breakfast
    Will B.

    We stayed at the Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel for 3 nights. We ate breakfast each morning on the patio looking towards the beach. What a great view for breakfast. We had the pleasure of 4 different staff members who took great care of us (one visit was for a snack and a couple of cold beverages). Each meal was amazing. We tried a few things but went back to the breakfast tacos on our last day. Outstanding food and service, thank you.

The parking setup was convenient with underground parking, and the restaurant is able to validate your parking as well. There's also an elevator that brings you directly to the front of the restaurant, which is connected to a hotel. The decor had a really nice beachy aesthetic, and there were even some views of the ocean. It's also located about a 10-minute walk from the pier, which made the area feel fun and relaxing. The service throughout the meal was friendly, and the food overall was good with a nice variety of options for the table. At the end of the meal, we were also given a complimentary dessert that was specially designed by the pastry chef. Unfortunately, she wasn't there at the time, so we weren't able to ask exactly what was in it, but the server mentioned it was made with toffee. Overall, it was a nice spot for a celebration with good food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere near the beach. Looking forward to coming back again and maybe giving their dinner menu a try next time.

    Had the pleasure of attending a Yelp event here, and was throughly impressed with the food, drinks, service and ambiance - so I decided to return! It happened to be restaurant week so there were items that were not on the regular menu yet. Shrimp & Crab Claw Scampi (5/5) - Plump shrimp, crab claw, all married in a white wine butter cream sauce. It was so delicious! I cleared my dish without hesitation. White Fish Piccata (5/5) - The fish tasted fresh! The sauce was almost similar to the scampi, but lighter. Hangar Steak & Ravioli (5/5) - The steak was cooked a perfectly medium rare! The truffle butter sauce really tied everything together. I would 100% order this again! Hummingbird Cake (4/5) - Tasted similar to a carrot cake. The cake felt a little too rich for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Their drinks are always on point! I had their mango margarita and it was so refreshing. Overall, I would come back to enjoy the views, live music, and delicious food!

    Hideaway Burger
    Brigitte M.

    Was craving some type of lettuce wrap, and came here. I got the Lao wraps, and my boyfriend got the hideaway burger. For the wraps, I was hoping for more fresh ingredients, but it ended up being a heavier dish due to the sheer amount of rice. Would've loved more sausage and fresh greens. Burger was average, with the pickles being the best thing on the burger. Fries were good. Semi view of beach, if you sit outside, but connected to the kimpton. Most likely won't be back.

    Shrimp Bucatini

    This was the best way to end my week and start my weekend. My parents and I visited on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy, which we loved. We came right around sunset so the weather and views were stunning. We decided to dine inside and the coastal interior decor and beach ambiance of the place were very well done. We ordered the guacamole, tuna tartare, and buttermilk fried chicken bao bun. They're most known for the latter but the bun itself didn't cut it for me, although the sauce and chicken on it were good. My favorite of the three was the tuna tartare which surprised me because of how fresh the fish was. I didn't have high expectations for the hideaway burger but I ended up enjoying it so much that I finished the whole thing. The burger was flavorful and it even had a really thick slice of yellow tomato which I thought was pineapple at first. They have a myriad of cocktails to choose from but the OC socialite is a must if that's up your alley. The service was great and they checked up on us often so we felt taken care of and comfortable.

    Nice place for brunch. It's attached to a hotel and there is a nice bar and patio overlooking the beach. We sat in the patio and ordered a cappuccino and Eggs Benedict. Everything on the menu is good. We will definitely be back to try the other food options. Happy Yelping!

    Chicken tacos
    Melody G.

    Again, one of my fave brunch spots. Always great ambiance and great food. The chicken tacos seemed a bit bland this go around, but still not enough to ding the stars. Everything overall outweighs it.

    Avocado toast
    Anne-Marie N.

    Really enjoyed the views, ambience, and staff. Everyone was attentive and made sure we were comfortable and had whatever we needed. Brunch was great. Food was fresh and tasty. The day was beautiful. Sat in the patio, it was a little warm and sunny, but the umbrellas did their job. The indoors looked really pleasant, but we opted for the outdoors. Would go back. Really nice how close it is to the pier. Super convenient if you are doing a beach or boardwalk activity.

    National Margarita Day!

    Such a fun vibe, quintessential beach scene. Beautiful beach views & great service. Lucked out brunching on National Margarita Day. Oh yes, the food is good too!

    Another stellar experience here! Very accommodating for our large group. It was kind of chilly inside and our waiter even brought a few blankets over for us. This time I got the blackened mahi mahi tacos with a side of fruit. They give you the option of berries or melon, and I went with berries. Everything was delicious! Thank you for a great time, Pacific Hideaway!

    Pacific Hideaway is a great rooftop place to stop by for a small bite. Their dishes are gorgeously decorated. Today our experience wasnt the greatest. First, we walked in to a cozy place and they iffered us a table...The table was shaking due to uneven surface. The host tried to fix it but it didnt work. She didnt offer us a new table, i was the one who asked. The other thing that it was lil bit off, when they brought the water they didn't put inside if me it was lil bit far away from where i sit...For fixing table they were using same coaster that they were putting in table for our glasses! This is what we ordered: * Shrimp Cocktails -- $18.00 * Ceviche -- $23.00 * HH Beer -- $7.00 Subtotal: $48.00 Tax: $3.72 Total: $51.72 Pricewas for what we got it was lil bit high...Te shrimp cocktail was ok but the shrimp was too frozen! It didnt looklike a fresh one. There is parking downstairs and dont forget to validate your ticket in restaurant! first 2 hours but after that there is a charge for every twenty minute so be cautious!

    First off, I'd like to give a major shout out to our server, Bianca! She managed our large group and was even willing to split the check 6 ways! Pacific Hideaway is the restaurant connected to The Kimpton in Newport Beach. It is upstairs and has a great view of the beach on their patio. We came on a Wednesday evening around 6pm and I was surprised that they even had a DJ outside too. The inside decor is very bright and inviting. I love the mural and all the fun details - like the booths that look like swings. Super cool! Our group came here because we saw zero proof mocktails on their menu and were excited. They use Seedlip non-alcoholic spirits and I loved it. I got the passion fruit mockarita and it was so refreshing (but a little on the sour side). All of the food was absolutely amazing. I loved the buratta and tomato appetizer, but I wish it had a bit more bread. Their menu is mainly meat and fish, and as a Vegetarian, I'd love to see some more innovative options that don't include meat. Maybe some tempeh tacos, or even jackfruit. Also, for the mocktails, they were pretty expensive. Typically I expect paying about 1/2 or even a 1/3 of what a real alcoholic beverage costs. Ultimately Pacific Hideaway was great food, drinks, service and views! Highly recommend!

    Grandma's Chilaquiles
    Carolyn G.

    Your staff can make or break! I'm so happy to say every time we've come here your staff has been so nice! Victor goes out of his way to make our experience great! Always friendly and helpful! The food, delicious! My husband enjoys his breakfast burrito and I love my Chilaquiles! Today we added a side of bacon cooked perfectly and had a nice surprise of the French toast! The French toast was amazing! Perfectly crisp and the fresh berries! We always enjoy coming tot his restaurant! Great vibes! Cute setting! Beach vibes! Thank you and please keep up the amazing work! Hats off to Paul, for drinks if you go during Happy Hour time! The music is always a hit! Definitely a great place to be! Breakfast, lunch or Drinks!

    I've been going to Bella Cuba since I've lived in the OC the area for the past few years and…read morediscovered a love for their Cuban food. The high level and consistency of service and amazing food I had every time going to Bella Cuba is truly unique. Regardless if its just a simple lunch break, birthday dinner with friends, or anniversaries; I've spent a lot of time at this restaurant and have never had a bad time. So much so, that when it came time to figure out a caterer for my wedding Bella Cuba was my first phone call. Nick and his father Antonio were upfront with me about having never catered a wedding (we had 150 guests!) before even though they've catered other large events. I was convinced with their food and level of service that they would do an great job, and once the day came they did not disappoint. We got a little bit of everything: salad, garlic bread, beans, rice, garlic shrimp, pollo asado, and the oxtail! Nick coordinated with us every step of the way for months prior to our wedding. He even stayed for the whole wedding to make sure the food was served properly! One of the big takeaways from our wedding from all our guests and vendors was that they've never had better food at a wedding, and I think that's a testament to Nick and the whole staff's work ethic and attention to detail to their level of service and great quality of food and ingredients. My only wish is that my wife and I had more leftovers for ourselves, but the look on our guests faces when they got to take home the extra ox tail was worth it. Now, whenever my wife and I go back to the restaurant we're reminded about our fun wedding, and the food and service is always just as great. My wife highly recommends the oxtail. Being a vegan myself I always go with one of the vegetarian specials (They're vegan!) as I love the beans and yucca. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, 10 out of 10 for everything, you won't be disappointed!

    HOW THEY FIX MISTAKES AND MADE THINGS RIGHT…read more I eat here from time to time and the food is excellent as well as the customer service which is second to none. I ordered the garlic chicken to go. However, when I got to work I realized they accidently have me two boxes of rice and and beans. I gave them a call, told them about it, and it was no big deal. I totally understand the lunch rush and all the boxes look the same. We're all human. This isn't the zombie apocalypse. I'll survive . That being said it was it was really how well they handled the situation. I returned there after work and we had a good laugh about it. Not only did they gave me the full correct order but also realized I like that lemony flavor of Cuba, but they also have a me a really nice dinner to go for me evening. And yes the lemony pork was absolutely delicious. There was no hesitation, no dispute, just all smiles acne appreciation from both of us. So to sum it up it really wasn't the mistake. It was HOW THEY MAKE YOU FEEL and how they take care of you as a customer. a now loyal custom for years to come.

I should have ordered ahead as it appeared many people did. None the less I am very happy with the wait! The service was great and they were very helpful with recommendations. I feel like pupusas are meant to be kept simple and they mean a lot to me. They are made to order and you can tell by the quality. The Revuelta has a lot of delicious fat and salt from the pork. It's a grounded pork. It combines really well with the beans and cheese. It has a very unique flavor profile. I can see why it's so popular. The Frijol and Queso was my absolute favorite. SO creamy!! I love the thickness of the maiz. And it wasn't too oily! My favorite part was the cabbage salad. It is slightly fermented. It kind of resembles a very very mild kimchi or sauerkraut. Super flavorful and bright. I thought the bag of red sauce would be spicy but it's actually quite sweet. It pairs perfectly with the pupusas. It is tomato based.

Good flavor although it could have used a bit more alcohol.
