We had a great time for my wife's birthday. I believe our server was Justin and he was great. No delays. No waits. Poke was super good. Maybe a tad in the salty side but very good. Great little wedge. My wife got the Chilean Sea Bass and I probably should have. One of the best I've ever had. I had the seafood trio...lobster tail, shrimp and scallops. Or should I say scallop. One scallop was disappointing, but it did taste good and the risotto was amazing! Great drinks. They brought her a little cake with a candle which was very nice. Awesome location. Great old school feel. We will come back. read more

This is a must-visit when in Newport! I had the opportunity to visit this place today around 6:15 p.m. and caught a beautiful sunset while enjoying the soothing outdoor seating on the dock overlooking a small bay filled with boat traffic. I ordered the oysters and the lobster roll--both were absolutely delicious. The lobster roll was easy to enjoy, perfectly complemented by toasted bread and crispy fries. The oysters were fresh and flavorful, making them effortless to savor. The staff were extremely polite and professional, even offering off-menu items and catering to guests with great attention. I will be returning to try other items! read more

I always enjoy the cannery. Food is always amazing and the ambiance as well as the service are outstanding

This restaurant is always packed for lunch. Our friend took us on his boat where he docked it next to the restaurant. I was here before, but I didn't drop a review. I thought the food was good here, but it wasn't something that was extraordinary. The service was excellent, and the seafood was fresh. It was definitely on the expensive side. But if you have a boat parking space, expect to pay a little more money, right? The ambience was definitely great! I would come back here . read more

This was my first time here and honestly, I was pleasantly surprised! My coworkers and I went during the happy hour where items were 40% off and we ordered a bunch of rolls. My favorite was the cannery roll. The french fries were delicious as well and a must order! The garlic aïoli sauce was so yummy. I'd probably pass on the sashimi if you were ordering here, it wasn't anything special. The service here was amazing and the view was so pretty. There's limited parking other than the valet that's pictured so keep that in mind! Would go here again for sure :) read more

Service was great ambience great. food marginal. The cannery used to be known for their food. I don't know what's happened. we (a party of 5)ordered appetizers, cocktails, entrées, and dessert. The, mahi-mahi was offered as the fresh seafood of the day which really sound good and was the popular pick. it was dry and overcooked and required the knife and fork to eat this delicate fish! scallop and lobster nothing special either all in all is the seafood was marginal A good place to visit and drink just emphasis on food is no longer there. read more

I truly do not understand the hype about this place. First, the happy hour only has food on it, not drinks and it's not too great of a deal. we ordered a few things including their most popular roll, all of it extremely mediocre. I would definitely not recommend sushi here. The drinks were also a disappointment. I ordered a spicy marg and it may be the worst one I've ever had. I would not come back here. I'd much rather go to a happy hour with good deals or with drinks and I definitely wouldn't just eat here. read more

Came here last night. Was excited to come here after over 13 years- what a mistake!! The salad was sad, the lobster roll was like a mayo filled salad with a few pieces of lobster in it plopped on a stale HARD cold bun, The cod was a bit cold, the Brussels sprouts was just oily and soggy, and the artichoke was nothing special at all. The only winner was the Bueno vista Irish coffee at the end of the super underwhelming meal. Do yourself a favor- don't come here and go to rusty pelican , instead or fable and spirit or Bluewater Grill. It'll be cheaper and just a lovely meal where you won't leave hungry or Grossed out. Yuck....never again... read more

Beautiful restaurant right on the water. Pricey but quality matches price point. The swordfish tacos and calamari were phenomenal as was the service from Annie. Will definitely try the sushi bar upstairs next time! Must be good because the wait to get up there was out the door! read more

The place is lively on weekends and always a good time, full review below: Location: clean, lively, the decoration is spot on. Drinks; stick to the drink menu and you will have a good drink. Food: the fish is the standout, however, all the sides are lackluster. The fish portions can be on the smaller side but the flavor is fantastic. Unfortunately, everything else falls short, the rice is very bland and tastes like it has been sitting out, the mac n cheese has no flavor (you can tell it is roux heavy without any real cheese), so don't order those. Desserts are good but the sundae is not worth it. Service: it is good but slow, so don't expect to see your waitress/waiter much. Overall: a little overpriced but the fish is tasty. read more

Stopped by The Cannery and left seriously impressed. Got the lobster roll and it did not disappoint -- buttery, loaded, and just the right amount of richness without being too heavy. The fries were crispy golden perfection, and even the Caesar salad was a hit -- fresh, crunchy, and well-dressed (not too soggy, not too dry... just right). But the real sleeper hit? The espresso martinis. Smooth, slightly sweet, and just enough kick to make you feel fancy without overdoing it. Vibes were on point -- right on the water with that cool Newport breeze and just the right amount of buzz from other tables. Great spot for a chill lunch or a casual evening out. Will 100% be back. read more

As a long-time Newport Beach resident, this is one of the restaurants everybody needs to try. The food here is very good, and the view of the dead-end bay is nice. There is a limited area for people that come via boat also. The two bar areas are nice, and the people are normally fun to talk to. Their Sunday brunch is a fun place to enjoy with friends. read more

My friend & I came in for a Saturday brunch. We split a bunch of appetizers & had bottomless mimosas. Valentina was our server and she was wonderful! Our glasses were never empty and although she was helping another large party we were never neglected. We ordered oysters & they were so good we got a 2nd order. Fried calamari was good. Ahi poke was good. The crab cake was delicious!! Only wish it wasn't just one. A beautiful morning overlooking the water made for a lovely time! Will def be back. read more

3-6pm Happy Hour! Everyday!!!! So if you dont have reservation go upstairs since its first come first serve with great sushi menu! They have valet parking or you can park on the street which can be challenging during weekends. We got slider, j popper, albacore sashimi and 911 roll. With perfect ending of creme brûlée All perfect size and price! We really enjoyed our food but if you starving happy hours during weekends is not a wise decision! Perfect view and fresh fish will make your day! read more

Had the Dynamite Roll and Mongolian Beef. Both were very good. Service was great. The restaurant itself feels dated but it's obviously loved in the Newport community. read more

This is a great spot if you are out on the water and you want some delicious seafood. Nice cocktail, great glass of wine . If you go on the weekend, just remember the service is a little bit slow . And you really must make a reservation . Plenty of parking in several different lots around the area. And if you do go have their oysters, they really are quite tasty. read more

Headed out for brunch, to the Cannery.. as I got there they sold me on the bottomless mimosas but I have to say they don't really refill you ... had to keep asking for it . Carrie was our waitress .. I have to say she could care less. The busboy Daniel was more attentive than she was. We actually didn't see her for quite a while. Im actually very disappointed because this is a nice well establishment and not cheap!!! . I have to say so. I'm a little disappointed. read more

I came here for a friends birthday brunch and we had a blast! They offer bottomless mimosas for $25 when you order an entree. The staff is super helpful and friendly and you can't beat the water front views and the outdoor patio has plenty of warmers for chilly nights. For food, I ordered the machaca burrito in a bowl. It was good but it lacked a lot of flavor. We shared the banana foster French toast and it was amazing but it was too sweet as a standalone dish. read more

What a great spot! Great seafood and honestly not that pricey- especially for the apps and starters. We got: Caesar salad: delicious, fresh, shredded cheese, well dressed and the croutons were so good! Calamari: also so good, especially the dipping sauces . Clam chowder : $10 and your moneys worth it's so creamy and delicious! The red snapper plate was pretty good especially the mashed potatoes! Overall good but not AMAZING! But a good go to spot especially for apps and starters ! read more

I will start off by saying that I have been coming to The Cannery since I was very young and it has been a consistent restaurant we venture to when we're in Newport for the summer. The vibe downstairs is classy without being too fancy and you can go upstairs when you wanna get rowdy and have some good happy hour. This visit we were here for my nieces 1st birthday which she was so happy. She's usually a picky eater, but she was enjoying each dish we ordered. We started off with the tuna tartare, crab cake, oysters, and clam chowder. The tuna tartare was fresh and had the perfect amount of kick with the perfect amount of kick to it. The crab cake was so good, usually I'm not a big crab cake eater because all of the filler, but this one was just crab cake. The sauce on it was an avocado crème fraiche which was so tasty and paired well with the dish. Clam Chowder is a staple at most restaurants, but this one was so tasty. I can say I'm one that orders clam chowder at most restaurants I visit. A lot of places aren't necessarily fresh and this one didn't have the fishy taste that I've had often. It wasn't too thick nor runny. The oysters, well they're oysters haha. They seemed very fresh and tasted good. I wish they provided a mignotte rather than just horseradish and cocktail sauce. For lunch I had the a wedge salad and the lobster corn bisque. I'll start off with the wedge salad, I am not usually one that likes blue cheese dressing as I prefer a ranch dressing on my wedge. The blue cheese dressing they had must of been homemade because it was really tasty. The lettuce was very cold which I wouldn't usually prefer, but it was a little warm today. It was over all a great salad. Next, I had the lobster corn bisque which was different, but pretty good. The consistency of the soup was pretty thick and I liked it, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Lastly, we had key lime pie and chocolate cake for dessert. They were very generous to bring baby Ryley a chocolate cake complimentary for dessert. She was mind boggled by the candle which she actually blew out. The key lime pie was chilled and it was honestly the best key lime pie I've ever had. I can't remember the servers name, but she was amazing. She had a great personality and was making us all laugh. Love when someone has a sense of humor. She was very accommodating with my sister's soy allergy letting us know what items contained soy. I'll continue to come to this place until the day that I die. Love The Cannery!!! read more

Took a friend for happy hour that had never been. We won't be back ! Had the sashimi salad that was chunks of old fish thrown on a bed of lettuce with no dressing and a so so cannery roll without the freshest of ingredients for not so happy hour prices. read more

Food was delicious! Great vibe with the open kitchen and cool historical artifacts to look at. Service was friendly and attentive.

Was in town visiting a friend and she has been here a million times with nothing but good things to say and this place definitely lived up to the hype! Highly recommend coming during happy hour, however, it fills up quick so you may need to linger by the bar to snag a seat. We ordered a couple of rolls of sushi (a HH must!) as well as some onion rings to split which were all so fresh and delicious. It definitely turns into a fun vibe the later you stay here, so if you aren't a fan of that then I'd recommend coming earlier. We had an amazing waiter by the bar who was so on top of it and clearly appreciated all the regular customers they get! Can't wait to come back. read more

Took my wife here for dinner and I do not regret it at all, what an amazing experience. The food we got was phenomenal and the service was top notch. We got a lovely table outside with a view of the harbor. The lobster roll was fresh and citrusy and they put a lot of it, I'm glad they weren't stingy. Also the swordfish dish I got was fresh and a little smokey with the perfect amount of seasoning on it. I will definitely come back here again in the future! read more

We chose to go to the cannery for a special occasion because we were happy with our last experience here. However, this time was very different, the restaurant was terrible at accommodating our large group and I personally found our original server to be very rude and disrespectful, she only asked certain people if they wanted drinks but never asked any of the younger people at the table. She also never asked us if we wanted to order, in fact we had to flag her down for any type of service. totally unacceptable and inappropriate for this caliber of a restaurant. Though, I don't blame the server because it seems as though she was given to many tables by management and was very stressed over the situation, hopefully the manager on staff learns how to take care of their serving staff so that we don't have to wait over an hour just to order food. The reason I gave the restaurant a 2 star is because the food was very good, just like the last time we were here. I got the lobster roll and it did not disappoint, overall the food was really good and if not for the terrible service we would have been likely to come back. The restaurant was also very loud, something a little too common in nice restaurants today. Overall, I hope the canary is able to either hire more employees so the ones they have can actually focus on their job, or find better managers and servers that actually do their jobs in an appropriate and professional manner, the second server they gave us after we spoke with the manager on staff was much better [Also note the bread service for $7 is one bowl of bread not "bread service"] read more

Cannery is the best place in Newport for happy hour and Scotty is the best bartender in Newport.

Had a great time with my girlfriend here. The views from the second floor are amazing. Great food and cocktails. Fun vibe.
