This place is amazing for date night ! Our server was amazing and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend the baked potato, steak fried rice, and blue crab pasta. Although the Wagyu steak was good, I would not say it was the most worth your money, same goes for the ceaser salad, it could've used more dressing! Overall a great place to go for a nice night out! read more

This restaurant is inside of the Pendry Hotel; enter and it's to your right. Valet is the only option for cars; $15 when you let them know you dined at the restaurant. This restaurant is pretty and quite big; good for parties and bigger groups. Although the restaurant has an indoor section, I do believe they open the patio doors at all times so there can will definitely be a bit of a breeze. It was kind of annoying to be swatting away bugs during the meal; it wasn't excessive but definitely more than 2 times. Staff was very helpful and would be quick, whether to clear our plates, ask for another drink, or set up for the next course. Food was delicious and flavorful. Best dish: Blue crab pasta (Absolutely to die for; LOVED the giant chunks of crab. Do yourself a favor and get it.) Lamb lollipops, steak fried rice, and Brussels sprouts were all fabulous as well (definitely mix the Brussels sprouts because the top is lemon-heavy!). read more

We were celebrating our niece's birthday and I mine too. :) This place is not cheap but our niece really wanted to go here. Bill came to $630 for 6 people and alcohol was only $24 of it since we are not drinkers. (anymore) What a decadent feast! Lamp Lollipops $33, Bluefin Tuna Pizza $25, Chilean Sea Bass $56, 12 oz Prime Flat Iron Steak $58, Fries $13, Brussels Sprouts $13. Then a bunch of sushi flights and rolls: Surf & Turf Roll $34, Protein Punch Roll $31, Hot Night Roll $28, Bluefin Tuna Flight $21, PNB Roll $28, Cabo Kanpachi Flight $19. And because we were celebrating birthdays we not only got the free birthday desert(s) but also the Calamansi Pie $18 and Chocolate Pudding Cake $18. The tables next to us on the patio were filled with the visiting Philadelphia hockey team playing the Ducks. My niece was pretty excited about that. That's a pretty good per diem for meals! Service from Marlon was excellent throughout which you would expect at a high end joint like this. We had a lovely time but this is a special event only kind of place. read more

We had such an incredible night at SET! Parking: they validate valet parking and it comes out to $15, otherwise you can self park (don't think they validate), or park at Fashion Island and walk Food: - Tomahawk was a must try. Perfectly cooked at medium and the server even brought a hot stone to cook a few pieces to well done for a pregnant member of my group. - Jalapeño mac and cheese sticks were ok - Brussel sprouts were amazing - Caesar salad was amazing. Love the snowy cheese on top. - Hot night roll was another must try. - Steak fried rice was really good. It comes in a stone bowl that keeps it hot and makes the rice kinda crispy - Rigatoni alla vodka was too sweet Service: Ok here is where I messed up and didn't get the server's name but he made the night so enjoyable. He was so attentive and made sure we were comfortable. He went thru the menu in detail with the pregnant member of my group to make sure what she ordered was ok for her to eat. He was the highlight of the night! read more

Was treated out here by my partner to celebrate getting through a huge audit at my job and it was a lovely experience. To begin, the restaurant's patio is absolutely stunning. We came here for dinner and it was so romantic with dim lights and string lights all throughout the trees. Service is top notch here; our waiter was extremely attentive and personable. The food left a little more to be desired. It was above average but nothing amazing or memorable. You definitely are there more for the ambiance. I would still come back here though to celebrate special occasions. It seems like everyone got a complimentary dessert to celebrate whatever the occasions was (with a huge sparkler candle might I add) so that was very nice of the restaurant to provide that. I've heard good things about their brunch menu and would want to come back and try that sometime. read more

Came here twice now, once for my bridal shower and another time for dinner and their $6 martinis. The ambiance is honestly 10/10 both during the day and at night. It's definitely one of those places that looks beautiful for celebrations, photos, and drinks. My bridal shower experience was actually much better than my dinner experience. The waitress during the shower was attentive and accommodating, and they were really flexible with my bridal party coming early to decorate which I appreciated a lot. Dinner service unfortunately was a different story. We had to ask multiple times before the heater lamps were finally turned on, and our waiter seemed pretty impatient with our table the whole night. We knew they had a $6 martini menu, but they didn't give it to us until we asked, and then only brought one menu for a table of 8 people. The drinks were actually really good and definitely one of the highlights of the night. Food was just okay for me. We ordered the Wagyu on the rocks, crab pasta, and truffle fries. The Wagyu honestly tasted like regular beef, the crab pasta was super bland and tasted like butter noodles with crab, and the truffle fries were decent but nothing memorable. One thing I'm also personally not a fan of is the automatic 22% gratuity. I'd rather be able to decide my own tip based on the service experience. Overall, I'd probably come back for the ambiance and drinks, but food and service seem to be hit or miss depending on the visit. read more

Me and my husband met up with our in laws at SET Steak & Sushi. We were looking for a restaurant that was in close proximity to my father in law's mortuary. I also went online to check the ratings on YELP and it looked pretty good... LOCATION: Inside the PENDRY Hotel... PARKING: $15 VALET ONLY... TIME OF ARRIVAL: 1:30pm on Saturday. We only had 1 hour left before they close at 2:30pm... APPETIZERS: Came out 30 minutes later!!! ASIAN PEAR & PROSCIUTTO SALAD: 10/10 I loved everything about this dish! From the PEAR to the dressing. All the flavors were really balanced and complimented so well together. It's just a salad but, this is NEXT LEVEL salad... LOBSTER ROLL: 7/10 Too salty and there were more bread ratio than lobster... BLUEFIN TUNA PIZZA: 7/10 My table had one slice and stopped. It's raw and one must be careful when consuming raw fish because of bacteria and mercury levels... EVERYTHING HASHBROWN: 8/10 It was not bad but, I would prefer the other appetizers over this one... MAIN COURSES TOOK 75 MINUTES TO COME OUT!!!! Because it took so long for the food to come out and we were told that the kitchen was backed up we were given complimentary drinks... SPICY RIGATONI ALLA VODKA: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW! It was so good that I didn't want to pass this dish around the table! My in laws were getting full so I took the rest home!! So much flavor!! Creamy & satisfying!!! GOCHUJANG MISO KING SALMON: 8/10 I think the dish itself is very creative. The execution however could have been better. It was leaning towards a claypot rice fusion rice dish. Perhaps borrowing some inspiration or elements from Gyu kaku might elevate this dish... AMBIANCE: 9/10 Beautiful!!! However, the music was blasted loudly as if we were in a CLUB!!!! SERVICE: Service was good. Everyone was trying their best to do their job smoothly. I know it's not the staff's fault the kitchen was backed up. Everyone remained calm and poised. The servers could use more SMILES though... OVERALL: The food was good and the ambiance was even better! If you have the time and patience, I would recommend this place... READY, SET, GO STEAK & SUSHI!!! read more

Great spot for date night. I came here for an anniversary dinner. They sat us on the outside patio which was a vibe especially at night. Our server was friendly and kept checking in on us. The food & drinks were pretty good. If you like fish, I would highly recommend their pan roasted branzino. It was buttery and flaky -- literally melt in your mouth! The sauce they put on top of it was rich and delicious. Their brussel sprouts were tasty as well. We also tried the PNB roll and steak fried rice. These were good but nothing special where I would get it again. read more

Food was overall 8/10. We ordered the Caesar salad, Bang Bang Shrimp, surf and turf, lamb lollipops, rigatoni, and steak fried rice. The food itself was good and flavorful, but there were some service issues that affected the experience. The Bang Bang Shrimp didn't arrive until after I had already finished my meal. The server was aware of the mistake and mentioned she would remove it from the bill, but it was never taken off. At that point, I just wanted to leave since the shrimp was cold when it finally came out. Service was about a 5/10. It took around 20 minutes just to receive a menu, and the food took quite a while to come out. While the food was enjoyable, the service definitely needs improvement. That said, I'd be willing to give this place another try because the food has potential, and hopefully the service is better next time. read more

Set Steak & Sushi delivered on both food and vibes for our group lunch, and I'd absolutely come back for a special occasion! We ordered a spread: steak and eggs, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, gochujang miso king salmon, surf and turf roll, and everything hashbrowns. The clear group favorite was the gochujang miso king salmon -- it's served in a stone pot, the salmon was high quality, and the flavor combination was nice and rich. The outdoor seating area is beautiful -- the kind of space that makes you feel like you're on vacation, not just at dinner. There's also a chic, well-decorated indoor section, but if the weather cooperates, sit outside. It's definitely made for a long, leisurely meal with friends. A few practical things to know before you go: (1) Parking: There's a parking structure nearby with a $20 max rate, but they do not validate self-parking. They will validate valet, though I'm not sure of the cost -- worth asking ahead. (2) Cake fee: If you're celebrating a birthday and bringing your own cake, they charge $8 per person to slice and serve it. They did bring out sparkler candles, which was a sweet touch. Overall, this is a solid pick for celebrations -- the food is good, the ambiance is beautiful, the service is great, and the vibe is perfect for a group that wants to linger and enjoy the meal. read more

Sadly I had much higher hopes for this one. We came to celebrate a birthday. I was not aware that they only had valet parking ($15 for 3 hours at the restaurant). The environment and ambiance is exquisite. Located across from Fashion Island in the Pendrey hotel. We waited a little bit for our table, but we had made reservations only 20 minutes prior. I believe they require a CC to book online. Unfortunately the food is where we fell the short coming. We ordered the artichoke dip for our appetizer. It came hot but with a lot less bread than the dip. We did get a fresh refill of the bread after. The dip was good and also not okay. Maybe its a preference, but the tomatoes didn't feel like they meshed well here. I confirmed the burger was halal meat, so I ordered it without bacon. It was missing all sorts of basic taste. I think having a burger seasoned makes a difference. This was one of the most bland burgers I have ever had. It looked a lot better than it tasted. For someone who saved her appetite to come here, I was barely able to even finish half. I ended up filling up on my fries with ranch instead. Honestly, I was hoping for a wow factor but this place disappointed. The ceasar salad was also ordered on the table and I had a bite. It was not pleasant. The only saving grace would be the steak. I had a bite and that was good. The boiled pasta (again no seasoning), that came for the baby off of the kids menu followed the same taste profile, in so that it had no taste. read more

Set Sushi and Steak was a really good experience overall. We had the Half Roasted Mary's Chicken, Caesar Salad, Bluefin Tuna Pizza, some sushi rolls, and drinks, and everything was solid. The Bluefin Tuna Pizza stood out, and the sushi rolls were good too. The ambiance was warm and inviting, which made the whole dinner feel even better. The service was also great. Even when the server brought the wrong drink at first, she fixed it right away and handled it well, which I appreciated. Reservations are highly recommended, even though it did not seem too busy when we went. Overall, it is a great spot for good food, a warm atmosphere, and attentive service. read more

My boyfriend and I went to set steak & sushi for our anniversary date. It's located inside the Pendry Hotel. Parking is valet only and overall location is nice and elegant. We had booked a reservation and seated immediately. We chose the patio area and we were welcomed by a very aesthetically pleasing view. Kyarah, if i recall correctly, was our server. She was very sweet and patient. It was our first time dining and she gave us recommendations and explained the dishes thoroughly. We ordered beef carpaccio as our starter. Serving size is decent for 2-3 people. The carpaccio was not to my liking but my partner enjoyed it. We ordered the 8oz filet steak and Chilean sea bass for our entrees. The steak was decently sized but a bit bland even with the chimichurri sauce, the food also came out a bit cool. The chilean sea bass was flavorful and the texture was soft, no complaints on this one! We also ordered the roasted brussel sprouts and steak fried rice for sides. The brussel sprouts was delicious, but the steak fried rice was mediocre. We had a pleasant experience and enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here. read more

SET Steak and Sushi was an amazing experience. The food was above par, everything we ordered was flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. The combination of steak and sushi works really well, and both sides of the menu deliver. The steak fried rice, a great staple, was well executed for the palate, though a touch of chili oil could have taken it to another level. The bluefin tuna pizza was also a standout and could be even more elevated with a bit of citrus garnish or a hint of spice to brighten the flavors. Those small enhancements tie into my only real piece of feedback: while everything we had was excellent, expanding the menu slightly or incorporating a few elements that help refresh and contrast the palate could elevate the overall experience even further while staying true to the restaurant's concept. Huge shoutout to our server, Altan, who made the night even better. Attentive, personable, and perfectly paced throughout the meal, he struck that ideal balance of being present without ever feeling intrusive. Service like that really elevates the entire dining experience. PS: good selection of Creekstone farms steak cuts for the halali's read more

I don't normally take my family out to a new restaurant unless I've tried it myself but this time I took a risk and SET did NOT dissapoint .

Rating: 3.5/5 -- A nice date night spot to try for the first time, but not too sure if I would come back again. The service was amazing. They were always checking in on us, clearing our tables, and helping us whenever we had any questions. They even gave us a free cheesecake for my boyfriend and I's anniversary. The drinks were also great. I loved the Baby Maker and definitely recommend to anyone. However, the food was just okay. We got the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio ($21), Dry Aged NY Steak ($75), Sushi Set ($50), and Steak Fried Rice ($16). The steak was pretty chewy/not juicy, the sushi was fine (feel like it's more for aesthetic), and the rice for the fried rice seemed like it was made the day-of. I'm hoping we maybe just tried the wrong food because we really enjoyed the carpaccio though. We made reservations in advance and got seated within 15 minutes of checking in. For parking, it is valet and $15 once you get it validated by the restaurant. read more

Our server Max was so lovely to have, he's knowledgeable about the menu, he crumbed the table without having to ask, and allowed us to change plates when needed! It was our first time dining here, the interior of the restaurant is dimly lit-kind of gives off living room vibes; unfortunately the day that we dined the patio was closed off due to the weather. But looking through the windows, it must be gorgeous to dine under the lanterns! We ordered 2 drinks: a Hanamachi Lager ($12) & a Lost Passion ($24). Apps: Splited a Caesar Salad ($19) & 1/2 Peking Duck ($44) Entrees: 8oz Filet w/ Chimichurri Sauce ($68) & Sushi Set ($50) Sides: Steak Fried Rice ($16) My partner found the beer to be delightful and my drink is definitely on the sweeter side. We both found that the standout dish was the Peking Duck. I love how is served the traditional way with the wraps instead of bao buns! My steak was cooked perfectly and my partner really enjoyed their sushi set. My partner liked the fried rice but I found it be just ok, nothing outstanding. I don't have menu pics so I included the prices of each item. Bathrooms are found outside the restaurant tucked on the right side (if walking into the restaurant). Valet is $15 with 3 hrs validation from restaurant. read more

Wow, the food was incredible! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was just as impressive as the flavor. What really stood out to me was the service. I have a shellfish allergy, and since they serve a lot of seafood, I was a little nervous dining there. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and reassuring. She took my allergy seriously, answered my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the meal. That level of care is rare to find and made a huge difference in our experience. Between the amazing food, thoughtful service, and beautiful atmosphere, this was a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend SET Steak & Sushi and will definitely be back. read more

I've wanted to visit Set forever, so we finally went yesterday for an early Valentine's celebration. It's located inside the Pendry, and parking is valet only (or you can walk over from Fashion Island across the street). We had reservations and were seated right away. At first, the service felt great--our server and the hostesses were super friendly--but the vibe quickly shifted and started to feel a bit like a car dealership We ordered the bluefin tuna pizza (to die for) and the vegan sushi roll, which was also really tasty. For entrées, I got the blue crab pasta and my husband ordered a steak... and that's when things started going downhill. Our server basically shamed him for the steak he chose, saying it wasn't a good cut and that he needed to order one of the $100+ options instead. We've been to plenty of steakhouses and have never experienced anything like that. When my husband explained he only wanted the 8 oz because he wasn't very hungry, the server pushed again, insisting the 16 oz was the "perfect" size for a meal. He was also pushing hard for the $225 couples Waygu special as soon as we sat down. Not sure if they have a steak commission going on here but it sure felt like it. I was honestly in shock, and my husband was just confused. He ended up ordering a different steak that was still more expensive than the original one, and you could tell the server still wasn't thrilled. Overall, really weird vibes. The pushiness and fake upselling definitely left a bad taste. read more

Came here on a Friday night with my gal friend for a celebratory dinner. The service was nice and friendly especially the hostess stand and our server. I could tell they did try to pay attention to detail. We were seated promptly for our reservation in their beautiful outdoor patio. I thought dress code would be enforced more but it seemed to be a casual spot. My table ordered the caesar salad, bluefin tuna salad, Mac and cheese sticks, and protein punch roll. The food itself was overall nothing to rave about unfortunately! Nothing was outstanding or bad persé. But I really did enjoy the caesar salad with their mega croutons. Our server and the hostess kept reiterating asking if we were celebrating something specific which I responded yes to, while looking around a lot of people seems to be celebrating as well since a dessert with a big sparkler was being sent out to most tables. So as common sense I expected a cute little treat for my party as well since it was listed in my reservation as a celebratory thing. After the service was slow, died down and we closed our tab out we ended up leaving quickly. I'd recommend coming for the atmosphere, ambiance, they play good music while dining, and I'd come for the strong drinks! read more

Beautiful place to sit outside, but very cold and windy out. And the plates had dust and leaves around it. Service was good, but towards the middle and end it was okay. Simple Caesar salad. I do wish it has more crunchy lettuce. Peking duck, it was good, but the wrap for it was not my favorite. It was tough with the tender duck. Green goddess sushi was good, but the mint was overpowering for me. I liked the presentation of the sushi set. Fish was okay to me. I wished the Mac and cheese sticks flavors was better. It just tasted like pasta without seasoning. Brussels sprouts were salty. Fried rice was flavorful, but very oily. Steak was good. Branzino fish by itself was tasty, but I did not enjoy the sauce. It was salty and a bit sour. read more

Great dinner! We were a large party and everything was family style. Highly recommend this experience. We tried several appetizers, 2 salads, 4 entrees, 2 desserts. Service was great and ambiance nice. My favorites: 1/2 Peking Duck appetizer was tender and flavorful. Love the pancake wrap! Caesar salad was delicious and had giant croutons than were crispy and not dangerous to bite into. Crispy all the way through without worrying about breaking your tooth. Banzino was special. Such a delicate fish but packed with flavor the way it was presented. Spicy rigatoni is a must. How special can pasta be??? This one's special! A bit on the spicier side which I really enjoyed. The potato side dish is a MUST also! I was enjoying it so much from the very first bite that I just forgot to take the picture. Steak is great too but I always like getting other items that I don't make myself when I eat out. If you're going for steak you will NOT be disappointed. I was really expecting an average meals here and SET far exceeded my expectations and I will definitely go back! read more

SET Steak & Sushi - Catered lunch buffet - Steakhouses Near Me - Newport Beach, California

We had to wait for about 20 minutes to get seated despite having a reservation and waited about 40 minutes to get our food after ordering, which made me expect the food to be absolutely spectacular. Since we had a reservation, I expected to be seated in the beautiful outdoors area like the pictures I have seen. Unfortunately, we got sat in the inside without the nice views or anything. The food was decent but due to the wait, it was not worth it and came out lukewarm at best, which made me question how long the food was sitting out before being delivered to us. On top of that, our server acted as if we were an inconvenience and seemed very disengaged. The Hot Night Roll was decent but felt overpriced for what it was on top of the wait. The New York steak was pretty good; the server recommended their house sauce which was just okay to me. The potatoes were creamy and had good flavor. Overall, I was really excited for this place, but due to the wait and service, I was disappointed and it made the experience and food lackluster. I would like to try Set again with just the food in mind because unfortunately, my experience led me to be let down by everything. read more

It's hard to find something negative to say about this restaurant. First things first, the food is top tier. Every thing I ordered was PHENOMENAL. The service is fast and the workers take their time to get to know you. My server's name was Jeffrey and one thing for certain - anyone who gets him at their table is lucky. He's a lot of fun. Set is inside the Pendry hotel and parking is valet. The hotel is beautiful. There's no restroom inside the restaurant. You have to walk outside to the hotel and for girls; there's only two stalls available. On a busy Friday night, there's quite the line. The rising sun cocktail is very sweet. If you don't prefer that, I wouldn't order that cocktail. All the food is delicious but if you are getting sides with your entree, I highly recommend the fried rice. I was cold when I went this past weekend. Depending on where you sit, definitely bring a sweater or jacket. They had to shut the doors separating the inside and outside because people inside were too cold with no heaters. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my son and his date. He was so excited to take his girlfriend to this restaurant for her birthday and it was such a let down. He came home so disappointed by the quality of the food and the ambiance. He said for such a lovely restaurant, their choice of music was just off. There was rap and hip hop playing that brought down the atmosphere. Also, he and his girlfriend ordered steak and it was over cooked and rubbery. They told the server it was not well prepared so they took it off the bill, which was nice but they were so disappointed by that time they left before dessert. I really hope this was not a case of discrimination against the fact they are only 18yrs old, which I am thinking not since the service was good. I felt bad for him so I am leaving this review. For being in Newport and claiming a romantic atmosphere, I think they need to do a better job. read more

Beautiful patio area inside of the Pendry hotel. Great people watching. We enjoyed cocktails, wine, the octopus appetizer (spicy!), the "chocolate" Wagyu and 2 sides.

Located at the Pendry Hotel, it's a little bit of Hollywood. Amazing cars, Bentley's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's -- all customized with vinyl wraps, blackout. Wow. Then, the lovely lobby, happening bar, and people dressed to the hilt. Then, the Set -- gorgeous, dark, packed, loud, and an incredible vibe. My party of 6 ordered cocktails, apps, and entrees -- all was delicious, and pricey, but I loved every moment. While sipping on my Old Fashioned (w/Woodford), we had apps (Bluefin Tuna Pizza, Wagyu Beef w/Hot Stone). For my entree, an 8 oz filet with a side of creamy wild mushrooms -- loved. If you want to be seen or have a special date -- I'd recommend. Excellent experience. read more
