- JJACKOrange County •4 reviews5.0Dined todayWe celebrated my wife’s birthday by booking a reservation for Sunday early evening at 5 p.m. This timing worked out great for us, because the restaurant was not busy and no one was seated near us. We were given the table for two right on the water. We split the beet salad which was excellent and plenty of food for two. My wife had the halibut, which was exquisite. I had the lobster tail, which was excellent. The sommelier basically gave us 2 for 1 glasses of a French white burgundy. Before dinner we each had one cocktail which both did not chintz on the alcohol content. We were given a free tiny appetizer and a free birthday dessert with two complimentary glasses of champagne. Everything was delicious. The servers worked together to provide just the right amount of attention. It was truly a fine dining experience in every sense of the word. We will return for special occasions.More infoThe DockPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Newport Beach•4.9

Service was exceptional and food was great with good portions and good value. Get the warm bread basket, it was so good. Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view of the marina, we'll for sure be coming back again soon.More infoLouie's by the BayPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Newport Beach•4.6
