We came here on a Thursday night around 5 pm and there was no wait, although the place was lively and poppin' :) It's a cute little spot - very quaint, old American. We were actually deciding between Crow Bar and Side Door - afterward we kinda wished we had gone to Crow Bar lol because they're kind of more up on the food trends (i.e. side door has beef fat fries whereas crow bar has duck fat fries lol ;) But I was intrigued by the story behind the restaurant - that it was a shady little gambling hall/burlesque house back in the day.. teehee. Anywho, I started out with the Pimm cocktail which has strawberries and cucumbers in it among other things (I told them to hold the orange). It was kind of like a mojito - refreshing. My husband ordered the Manhattan and it was made well! For food we started out with the avocado mash with pita chips - I thought it was okay.. too citrusy for me. Next we went with the prime rib chili cheese fries, which was scrumptious :) and the pressed prosciutto sandwich which was yummy as well. BUT we wish their service was a bit faster - we wanted to eat the fries with the sandwich but they took a while getting the fries out =/ Finally we ended our meal with the sticky toffee pudding, which was very good! Not too greasy with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Simple and satisfying. It's a good Happy Hour place, but I wouldn't come back for dinner. read more

Love the ambiance as it reminds me of Harry Potter's Leaky Cauldron. And of course what pub would be complete without a great selection of beer?! I tried the speckled-hen (I believe is offered year-round) and it's delicious. They change their drinks menu daily (methinks), so inquire with the bartender on the selection. They're extremely knowledgeable and will take care of you. To accompany our drinks my friend and I shared a selection of sausages and cheeses, which were devine (the cheeses' were sharp and quite distinct) and a cup of prime-rib chili. The chili was a bit much for me, but I absolutely loved the the cheeseboard. Sidedoor is a bit pricey for a bargainista, but if you want to entertain guests this spot hits the target. FYI: valet parking, so bring small bills. read more

I don't even want to review this place that's how much I liked it and want to keep it quiet so it doesn't get harder than it already is to get a table. Located next to the Five Crowns you can valet park across the street. I have to hand it to the hostess she does a great job hustling to greet everyone who comes in and to keep you up to date on the progress of your wait or possible seating options. While we were waiting we perused the menu and the person working on assembling boards in the charcuterie booth kept me entertained. I think we waited about 10-15 minutes before we were led to a tiny seating area near the fireplace. The area we sat in was freakin adorable and disgustingly charming. I felt like I had been transported into a Cottage in England. Our waiter was outstanding in answering our questions about the beer selection and the various items we had inquires on from the menu. All the food we ordered was delicous and our entire experience here was downright awesome. read more

Sidedoor is awesome in pretty much all facets, assuming you get there early enough and can grab a seat at the bar. This place is super cool, from the service to the menu to the historical building. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're in an old European restaurant and you've gone back in time somehow, lol. Came here for a couple of drinks and a quick appetizer. They pretty much craft their own alcohol here, which is super cool and they have a fantastic local beer selection for the beer connoisseur. The menu pretty much takes the cake, so I had to try the prime rib chili cheese fries, not the largest portion in the world but boy were they unique and delicious! The bartender was awesome and everything was served in an extremely expeditious manner. Overall, I highly recommend Sidedoor. Pros- Location Building Menu Food Drinks Service Selection $4 valet parking Cons- Gets crowded late Pricey Tough to find read more

I came here with friends for sunday brunch on my birthday. The servers and hosts were excellent. We had a party size of 14 adults and 2 babies. They were able to accommodate our party size. We were given a section to ourselves next to the fireplace which fit our group perfectly. We ordered the cheese and charcutterie plate, i highly recommend this. We also got a round of mimosas. I tried the Mimosa with St. Germaine for the first time which was good. The chicken pot pie was excellent. The prime rib chili cheese fries was also popular among the group. Parking was easy to find. They have a private lot valet right across a small street. Or you can look for street parking around the area. read more

Disappointed In the service my last 2 visits. When it 1st opened it was fresh and full of great options like zucchini blossoms and the grilled cheese/ onions. Servers were attentive and knowledgeable. I feel like servers are burned out or don't care? Where is Kori and other great bartenders? I know Noah went on to open Arc. Our party of 8 were treated like we were bothering our server. The food was just average... no pizazz. After trying twice, I can go so many other places that r friendlier read more

Lucky#3!!! Our 3rd visit was the best of them all. The service was impeccable (almost a little TOO attentive but quite enjoyable as well since our server was handsome). At first I was a little disappointed that the menu had changed significantly since our visit last time but I guess that's in keeping with the season. We noticed the use of meyer lemons in a couple dishes so we made sure to get those. We tried: Meyer lemon ricotta fritters - YUM, definitely got the lemon taste Roast Beef Cuban - filling and delicious Liver Pate - super small portion and not really pate'y...the layer of fat on top was so thick, it pretty much dominated the pate Trumpet Royale (mushrooms) with Meyer Lemon - the evening's winner. Simply garlic roasted mushrooms spritzed with lemon juice. Like last time, we ordered the prime rib chili cheese fries and the SideDoor Sampler. The spicy proscuitto was a little weird, definitely had the taste of anise on it...didn't care for it. The fries were awesome as always, super crispy to stand up to the chili. Yes...the SIdeDoor has finally reached my expectations...I'm taking it off my probationary list and onto my staple list. Yippee!! read more

I walked in on a Friday night with a group of 8 people. We waited for what seemed like 30 min, although they estimated the wait would be an hour. We grabbed some drinks at the bar to pass the time. With a large party, we ordered a number of dishes but below are the ones worth mentioning. Side Door Avocado Mash - it was refreshing to have a pure avocado dip for chips at a restaurant. Nothing fancy, no innovative additions...just avocado, some lime juice and subtle seasoning. Delish. We ended up ordering a second serving. Blistered Shishito Peppers - great smokey flavor & only a hint of spiciness. Cheese & Charcuterie SideDoor Sampler - one order of the 5 selection sampler was good enough for all of us to have a bite of each. It's fun trying to find the perfect combinations of meat, cheese, jam and cracker. Prime Rib Plate - I didn't find anything special about this entree. It's on the thinner side. We were served a medium cut, but ordered medium rare. The server was quick to bring us the correct order though. I'd suggest ordering this at an actual steakhouse if you really want prime rib. Roast Beef Cuban - this was my favorite of the night. The jalapeno cheese bread had a spicy kick and was grilled to a crunch. The roast beef was tender and well seasoned, and the white cheddar was a big melty mess (just how I like it). Quite oily and indulgent, but it's just what the doctor ordered! read more

Absolutely loved the decor this place! It's a bit hard to find and is definitely a hidden gem to this area because it's literally right next to another restaurant and a hotel so it's hard to miss if you aren't looking for it. Everything is decorated with great detail and totally reminds me of the inside of a castle from the mantel of the fire place, to the tables with the booth backing and the quality of the furniture decor to the little trinkets littered throughout the restaurant. We found parking on the side walk and yes, they have valet parking as well. As we entered the restaurant, I was truly in awe of the decor and the details of everything. The food was also equally as delicious and we finished everything from the grilled scallops, chicken pot pie to the steak flanks. Since everything is organic and made fresh daily, it made the meal even more scrumptious! The only thing that turns me off a little bit is the portion size. It's pretty small sizes so if you plan to share, maybe order a few things more just in case. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area! read more

SideDoor has such a warm, cozy atmosphere with an eclectic arrangement of different seating options. Warm wood decor. Just really homey. Reminiscent of an old English pub. And even on a Saturday night, the wait isn't too bad. None at all last night at nearly 7. :) The drinks and food are always delicious. We usually get an assortment of small plates... Can't miss the cheese board! But the avocado mash is a favorite too. We've had the prime rib sandwich and prime rib chili cheese fries as well.... yum! read more

Brought my boyfriend that is from England as a surprise. Besides the the decor nothing else was very English. The fries were the best part of the fish and chips (they were thin fries not thick). Yorkshire pudding was pretty much spinach dip. The best thing for me was the side of gravy I got to dip my fries and the charcuterie board was good too. read more

This place is the best. I come as often as I can. My favorite item is the French Press. If you like french onion soup, this tastes like that, but better. it's like if a grilled cheese got together with the french onion soup and had a glorious little baby child. The beer is great, the cocktails are good, and the service has never been a problem. The charcuterie is awesome too. The atmosphere is great. Like frodo and samwise might be sitting at the bar. That's all. Enjoy. read more

SideDoor - french press, fries, and two awesome beers. - British Near Me - Corona del Mar, California

Hands-down one of the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The beef dip was so tender and that au jus was delicious. The horseradish sauce with tangy and perfect. We got a cheese plate that came with three different cheeses. They were really knowledgeable about the different cheeses they have and recommended three cheeses that they thought we would like based on a few questions they asked about our preferences. The cheese plate also came with bread, honey, and dried fruit. I actually had a dream about this cheese plate after eating it -- it was that good! The restaurant is literally the side door of a hotel, hence its name. It is very quaint and made me feel like I was a hobbit in the Shire ;) It has a small, cozy inn-like feel. Perfect for a date. read more

This was my first time, after wanting to go here for a while. It was late, and all my usual spots were either closing or closed for dinner, so it was nice the kitchen was open a little later. My wife and I split a few plates, the Brussels sprouts, mac & cheese, prime rib fries, chili and sweet potato wedges (the mac & cheese came out by mistake, but we took it when offered). The best item was the sweet potato wedges, but everything was very tasty. I probably would skip the fries, but if they combined the chili and the fries, that would be good. We had a couple of cocktails each, and they were also very good. It is a little far and a little too much of a pub to make it a regular dinner spot, but it was certainly a place I would go back to for a late-ish bite. read more

I went here with my friends and loved it so much that I decided to celebrate my 25th birthday here! Valet parking is right around the corner and only $4! Street parking is available but I'd recommend valet if you are wearing heels! I came early at 5pm to get a table for 10 people. Beware: It is super busy on a Saturday night so come in a small group and come early! None of my friends arrived early so they had to give away my table. I was soooo sad that I almost cried! The manager was super nice and accommodating and set us up in a private room upstairs. He totally made my night! I am really grateful for his kindness! Our server, Jason, was the best server ever! He took care of our party as well as the female manager?? I forgot their names but both the managers made sure my birthday party was perfect! The private room upstairs is very nice with a fireplace. It was great since it was too loud downstairs. I was super super sad that they were out of the beef fat fries! Or rather the fryer was down?? Anyway, get it if you can since it is my #1 favorite food in the world!!! I dream about those fries! Other favorites are the Sidedoor sampler-you can choose 5 cheeses and charcuterie for $21. Cheese: buchettes, weybridge, robiola bosina. (It was 1 sheep, 1 goat, and 1 cow, but forgot the order) Charcuterie: proscuitto di parma from Italy and rosette de lyon from California. The rosette de lyon is like salami, soooo fatty and good! The proscuitto is delish as always, thin slices of cured ham. All of the cheeses were mild and soft, I asked Jason for his recommendations. I love love love meat and cheese platters! I could easily eat it everyday for the rest of my life! The prime rib chili cheese fries are delicious but they don't give you ketchup so ask for it, or even a side of garlic aoli. The fish n chips were really tasty! I don't know why but their fries are never seasoned... they need to work on that! Maybe add truffle oil and parmasean?! I love truffle oil!!! My favorite beers: Young's double chocolate stout and the Dogfish head ta henke. Both had a wonderful smoky taste! Get the 4oz 4-beer sampler for $12! Such an awesome deal! The pita chips and avocado mash were good, they are homemade and such a great party appetizer! Thanks to Sidedoor for the complimentary appetizers for our party! Call and reserve the private room, it is great for parties! Total bill for 14 ppl for pretty tame, a mere $311. Most of the people did not eat. I alone, ate and drank $120! But I am a gluttonous fatty so don't take me to high-end places! Love love love love this place! Prices are affordable. Entrees range from $6-$12 and beers are $9 for bottled, mixed drinks are $12. The staff is so nice and accommodating! Ask for Jason, he will take good care of you! Best server ever! He is soooo friendly, funny, and chill. I will be back to try the ever-changing menu! read more

YUM! Wait, am I in Corona del Mar or some sort of Swiss chalet? So cute inside! Very cozy place to go enjoy an evening when the weather is chilly (well, chilly for Southern California). Great date place! Loved the wine list....cool that you can get a bunch of small bites to share. We ordered: Peppers with parmesan cheese (please get this!) Mac and Cheese (really great and vegetarian) Salmon tartar (could have used less oil but the fish was great) Rock shrimp (good but fried obviously which I'm not the hugest fan of) Beet salad with creme fraiche (omg delicious) Cheese plate is awesome too.....I think the best in the area. If you are a guy looking for a great place to take a girl on a date, try Side Door, she will have a great time. read more

Nice little gastropub connected to 5 Crowns (which I can't wait to try). I came here on a double date and all the tables were full when we walked in. Usually it's a free for all on tables but since it was so crowded, a hostess helped us find a table outside. It was a nice evening out so we were glad we weren't inside the cramped restaurant. The girls shared a bottle of wine and the boys ordered some beers. We decided to order a little bit or everything and share. The menu changes everyday but here's what we went with: 1) Prime Rib Chilli Cheese Fries: honestly, this sounds better than it tastes. I'm a huge fan of chilli cheese fries so I was excited about this but it wasn't up to par. Don't get me wrong, it was definitely tasty and worth trying, but I was slightly disappointed. 2) Prime Rib Sandwich: my favorite dish! It was cooked perfectly and went so well with the au jus! The meat just melts in your mouth... 3) Avocado Mash: it tasted just like guac, nothing too special 4) Cuban Sandwich: we were getting full by the time this dish came out but it was really good! Bread was super toasty and the meat and cheese were tasty. This is definitely a great place to take a date or to have a birthday dinner! read more

We love coming here as Newport Coast residents but it's going downhill. The staff seems to want to turn away customers. They're sadly very inhospitable and unfriendly. There is also a foul and unclean bar smell. I hope the management and staff having a more welcoming attitude changes because we will not be returning anytime soon. read more

I came in with a friend at 5pm on a Saturday. I decided to skip the hassle of finding parking in the neighborhood and used valet ($4). The restaurant was empty at the time and there was open seating, but it slowly began to get crowded. The staff was very attentive and helpful in explaining the menu. We ordered the chicken pot pie, linguini, and chef's cheese plate. Everything was delicious. The linguini had a bit of a spicy kick. The chicken pot pie was very flavorful. The cheese plate had 3 cheeses, 2 meats, and some dippings/sauces, and it came with a plate of 2 different bread (raisin & plain). It was more than enough food and we only finished about half. read more

They literally had a SIDE DOOR entrance to their restaurant! I liked the dim lit, home-y & rustic kind of vibe to this place. There were different seating areas from high tops and low tops, couches, and even rocking chairs. A whole different kind of dining experience. I came in on a Saturday night around 7pm and got seated right away. Lucky me, I came in right before the rush that arrived after me! Onto the food, I ordered the prime rib dip sandwich, Jidori chicken pot pie and chef's board (3 choices). Everything was delicious! The prime rib was cooked perfectly. I was unsure about how the chicken pot pie would turn out, but I really enjoyed it, especially the flakey croissant crust on the outside. YUM! I also liked that we were able to choose our own cheeses and meat on the board. We had the St. Stephen cheese and it was amazing!! Our server was also very knowledgable in helping us decide on different cheeses that we would like on our board as well as other questions we had. Great, attentive, and friendly service! ***Their menu does change so not all the items you see online or Yelp will be available. read more

I came here on a Thursday night....and came back again for my 1 year anniversary the following Monday. I love the decor, the lighting, and the feel of this gastropub. It is so laid back and chill. I also enjoy how it's not LOUD with obnoxious drinkers. Very classy yet down to earth. Prime Rib Plate - Most Excellent! It was medium rare and juicy! Prime Rib Chili Cheese Fries - Wonderful! Glad they don't skip out on the cheese Mac & Cheese - I love it! each macaroni oozes with cheese. Yum! Avocado Mash - I love all avocado dishes as long as i can taste the actual avocado~ Wine - Petite Sirah from Paso Robles YUM! (San Simeon. I think i'll buy my own bottle) Wine - Cabernet from Napa (I can't remember the name!! T_T) Beer- Guinness - ALWAYS DELICIOUS Beer beer beer beer beer monday night was our 1 year so the dessert we ordered (Apple something with vanilla ice cream) was on the house! Thaaank you!!!! It was delicious. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. I enjoyed how the natural apple flavor was still there instead of it doused with sugar~And they were so kind to put a candle HAHAHHAHa.

The best cheese and charcuterie plates around. I usually do chef's choice and let them pair some things together. If you're looking for rich pub food, this is the place. The Prime Rib sandwich is their signature main dish but have not had anything I didn't like. The chili cheese fries and stilton blue cheese potato chips are excellent. Beer and wine selection is strong and the cocktails are pretty good. Food prices are reasonable but drinks are a little on the expensive side. Service is excellent. On the weekends there's usually a pretty long wait and they don't take reservations. read more

Food was great. Service was great. Drinks were great. We had some leftovers which we took home and decided to eat the next day. My wife noticed that the creamed spinach had something in it which appeared to look like tiny bacon bits. We do not eat bacon. Neither the menu nor the waiter mentioned anything about bacon. I called the restaurant to confirm and in fact it was bacon. The lady on the phone apologized and said that the waiter should've told us. I don't understand why they can't just write that in the menu. They can't possibly expect the waiter to tell every patron that there's bacon in the creamed spinach. Pretty disappointed that this happened after paying $300 for dinner. read more

I was last here 3 years ago and had a great experience with amazing cocktails and dinner with ample portions. Came tonight. My drink order came incorrect but passable. BUT...I paid $16 for a "full order" of fish and chips. I got two, 4 inch, pieces and a portion of McDonald's fries. It appears maybe they changed ownership? In any case- SUPER disappointed. Drove almost two hours to bring my friend who was just perplexed at the portions. Our server, was awesome! That makes it 2 stars. Will not return. read more

The SideDoor is a wonderful establishment located inside the Five Crowns in Corona Del Mar, CA. I was visiting family & friends in the area and decided to check it out. Upon entering the building, you will find a "speak-easy" feel with a lively vibe. We were greeted immediately and although the place was busy, they were able to seat us within five minutes. They have a good sized bar in addition to a dedicated charcuterie station where they prepare per request in the open. Once seated, were we greeted and placed our drink orders very quickly. We also placed an order of the Avocado Mashed, Oysters, Tuna Tartar and the Charcuterie (Chef's choice) for the table. The appetizers came out fairly quickly and all were delicious... Especially the Charcuterie plate. For dinner, we ordered the Prawns & Mussels, Steak Frites, Jidori Chicken and the Fish & Chips. Everyone was pleased with their meals but the Fish & Chips stood out. The drinks, food and service were all excellent. I highly recommend giving it a try. One more thing... the music that night was a mix of 80's - perfect for our group. read more

Funny thing is I've been going to Five Crowns for years but never realized the Side Door served food. I always thought of it as a waiting / bar area until I searched yelp for a place to meet up with friends to catch up and grab drinks did I find out it had food and apparently good food at that. Being that they don't take reservations my boyfriend and I arrived early to snag seats for us and we ended up in a cozy corner next to the fireplace. The menu seemed quite limited at first glance but after exploring the options we were torn since everything sounded so good. Then we turned the menu and noticed the extensive wine and beer menu along with a full bar. Gosh the options were killing me. They even had tasting sized portions for the beer and wine. We ended up starting with three cheeses and two meats. The boar salami and soft blue cheese were my favorites. Just the perfect combination of flavors that complimented one another so well. Next we moved onto scallops, fish n chips and shepherds pie. I honestly did not like the scallops. They tasted burnt and a bit fishy as if they've been sitting out after being dethawed for too long - definitely not fresh. The fish was good - not too oily and perfectly crispy while the fries well they were kind of blah. You know how In n Out fries are only good piping hot and taste like eating paper when cold - well that's how I would describe the fries. The shepherds pie was delightful. Perfect combination of mash potatoes and boar with very little veggies. Overall it was a great experience. The food was tasty and the prices were super reasonable especially for Newport. read more

Come to this hidden gem in CdM! Clever, huh?? ;) I love this restaurant! Really cute, intimate ambience and they have one of my favorite cheese plates anywhere. The same chefs that cook the food for Five Crowns cook the food at Side Door (meaning great quality food at a cheaper price), but I can't really comment on any other food besides the cheese plate because I always end up just eating that for dinner. You have the option of 3 or 5 choices from the cheese & charcuterie menu and it comes with a little fruit, jam, jelly, honey and a variety of bread. Cheese, bread and wine diet? So sophisticated, so French. :P read more

My boyfriend found this spot and we gave a try last night! It was a Monday night but it was pretty packed. Forgot to take a photo but chicken pie was delicious the portion was pretty small but we enjoyed it. Forgot the name of it but tomato smt on the picture was pretty good too. Good combination of pickled onions, tomatoes, sauce and crispy bread I thought drinks were little bit pricey but drinks were they had lots of wine selections too but we had to try out their cocktails and both drinks were just ON POINT!! The old fashion... one of the best old fashion everrrrr. The bartender must be a pro She forgot to give us water but didn't bother us too much and we just asked for it one more time. Loved their interior design too so we took lots of photos. Nice place to have a date night:) will be back. read more

Terrific. Food excellent and the atmosphere is perfect for a fun, generally quiet to talk, with personable wait staff.

Just went to this hidden gem! The most amazing server, Gene, took the time to explain the menu/restaurant! Not only was he appreciative of the restaurant but he also appreciated the customers. We were throughly impressed with his genuine attitude. The food was utterly delicious! We had the pot pie, linguine, fish & chips, and Reuben. Needless to say, there were no left overs! Highly recommend! Not only was the service and food amazing, this restaurant doesn't house domestic beer! This place is a craft beer lover's haven!

July 9th, 1966 Two days before i was born. We came here for the 2nd time to see if it was as good as we remembered- and as an agreed pick for our 15 year partnership celebration. After waiting for about 20 minutes we spotted a table just around the right corner inside the door. We occupied the guest chairs with a couple who was waiting for their table at the main 5 Crowns eatery. They were celebrating their 44th anniversary- we celebrated our 15th. We chatted while they waited for their table. They were obvious to our situation.. after they left we sent drinks to their table; they returned the favor half way through dinner! So.. about the food.. It was 5 star all the way; exactly as we had remembered a year earlier. TOTALLY FANTASTIC mac and cheese; fish and chips; prime rib sandwich and everything else we sampled. Really you can't go wrong here- this place is so good you can make a random menu selection and be very, very happy. Great crowd, great service, great food.. maybe, possibly, our favorite pick in Newport Beach! read more

A little pricey for what you get. But don't get me wrong the food is very good. We had a lovely charcuterie plate - fine cheese and cured meats. Very tasty! The burger Was tasty too. Everything was.

A great little dining option in Newport! You've got the cool, dark pub ambience going on, plenty cozy. Good service, good food. Owned by Lawry's, apparently. Be forewarned: they bring the food out as it's ready, not your typical hold-everything-in-the-back-and-bring-it-all-out-when-it's-ready deal. Upside is you get your food at its most delicious; downside is you either sit around and stare at it while other people in your party wait for their food, or feel awkward eating. Or, third option, share your food and call it a day. Everything we had was tasty, but the mushroom soup was really notable. It looked grainy, but was actually velvety and umami. So delicious. read more
