    We dined on the patio & enjoyed a lovely sunset. My husband’s bouillabaisse was great, very large portion. I had the seafood tower, also good portion for (2). The fried Calamari was good, but for some reason much of the rest didn’t seem as fresh to me. Pastry/bakery is great. Our waiter was excellent. The restaurant needs a refresh inside.

    Great view and atmosphere. They have a great host. She is very pleasant, professional and competent. Did not catch her name, but she is from Argentina. The view of the Newport Harbor and the atmosphere are phenomenal. It’s mostly French. Me and my friend, we both had Stake with fries. The food was good, but not great. The fries, were excellent, though. I would come back and try different items in the menu.
