Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Corona del Mar

Had an early 5:00PM Saturday birthday dinner with another couple and loved the hip and happening vibe at Ocean 48!!! Oysters and crustaceans on ice surrounding the kitchen was a fun entrance. Music was great and the pool inside one wing of the restaurant would be fun to sit by next time but we had a great table at the far end and enjoyed people watching. We shared a salad and prime meatball appetizer, then loved the salmon as well as scallops with sides of baked potato with a ton of toppings on the side and awesome creamed corn! Outstanding. Expensive but more than enough when split. Waygu prime rib next time. Looked delicious! Nice wine and cocktail selection and they brought a beautiful chocolate layered cake with the birthday guy’s name in chocolate sauce on the plate was a classy touch. First class service!! Don’t miss the bathrooms as they have the heated seat Japanese toilets and modern sink hardware to die for 😄. We will definitely go back!

Excellent service and food! We were seated on time and a perfect booth!

CDM is always very consistent with wonderful food and service. Love the welcoming environment and sexy ambiance!

Our waiter, Leonardo, was fantastic. We had a great meal, super service, at a good price. Well worth a visit. All the food was fresh and tasted great.

My wife and I have always wanted to try Nobu. It was a very enjoyable experience. We had a table facing the marina (at night). It was a well heated area with minimal noise from nearby tables. The food was coming at a timely manner and our server was very attentive especially for our first time describing the cold/hot dishes. We ended up ordering the spicy tuna with crispy rice, wagyu goyza/tacos, and several other rolls (salmon sashimi/yellowtail +jalapeno). We were full where we didn’t have room for dessert. My wife enjoyed the mango passion fruit drink. Overall this experience will lead us to multiple returning visits.
