We choose this restaurant because it has a great location also being originally from this area we had heard there was a new place in town. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to its billing and the service ensured we would never return. The restaurant is set on the corner across from the Newport pier. Parking is difficult almost... more

21 OCEANFRONT Once a year I pick a restaurant in Southern California, fly there, dine there with 2 other friends and return home. This year I picked 21 Oceanfront. I made reservations in September with Nicole who was extremely gracious. I reconfirmed the date and time 2 more times with Jodi. When we arrived I found out that someone had... more

My husband and I are visiting Newport from Beverly Hills for the weekend and had advanced reservations to this restaurant. I noticed that the water glass was dirty and kindly let my waiter know.

I was a bit apprehensive when I first walked into this restaurant. The young woman at the desk seemed disinclined to assist us, and when I told her that there would be only three in our party, not four, she acted like it was a huge problem. But she did come to grips with it and sat us at a... more

21 Oceanfront is the nicest restaurant in all of Orange County... maybe the best in the world? The Service is so professional & accommodating. The location & view is breathtaking! It's right on the Pacific Ocean! And the food is way too delicious! I had the crabcakes & a filet Mignon! ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! Chocolate Souffle.. Live music, Delcious wine. We... more

Service was terrible. Do not expect anything spectacular if you are going to dine here. Lets just say, we had many mix ups and on top of it lies from the staff trying to cover it up. Decent food for the price and nice location but I wouldn't invest anything special in this restaurant. more
