The Dock. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in Newport Beach (California).
Description
If you’re cruising through Newport Beach and think about grabbing a bite, you’ve gotta check out The Dock. Tucked away at 2816 Lafayette Ave, this little gem isn’t just another restaurant; it’s a cozy experience right on the water. Imagine enjoying your meal while boats glide by. Sounds dreamy, right?
Walking in here feels like stepping into a friend’s home rather than a typical eatery. The vibe’s warm and inviting, the kind that makes you want to sink into your seat and linger a little longer over that wine. I’ve gotta say, the service is top-notch. They really know how to treat you. From the moment you sit down, you’re practically family. Shoutout to Eric and Danielle for being super personable and making sure everything’s just right.
Now, let’s talk food. The flavors hit all the right notes. Whether you’re diving into the Butter Poached Lobster Tail, which is just stunning, or the Fresh Market Fish (I’m telling you, the Alaskan Halibut is something else), it feels like a treat with every bite. Honestly, I think the mussels deserve a cult following; people rave about them!
And if you think brunch is overrated, think again. The Dock takes it to another level with a two-course meal that’s not just good but fantastic. Mimosas flowing, delicious muffins, and a menu that just makes your mouth water—what more could you want?
Parking? Don’t sweat it. Street parking is available, and we found a spot easily during dinner time. But I do wonder how wild it gets during brunch. If I could make one suggestion—definitely book a reservation. It can get busy, especially with a score of 4.8 from nearly 200 reviews, it’s clear people really treasure this place.
So, if you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and make time for The Dock. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, it’s genuinely one of those experiences that sticks with you. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
