Restaurants near Newland Shopping Center

On Thanksgiving, you would expect things to be a little chaotic, but we arrived early enough to beat the cascade of people that followed. The buffet had numerous delicacies, and the meat skewers were cooked to perfection. We were not hurried, in spite of the growing crowd at the reception area, which made for a wonderful experience. The staff was cordial and attentive. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion.

Nobu's never disappoints. Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service. It's pricey but well worth it. We usually only go for birthdays and other special occasions. We were a party of 6 with one person having a gluten and shrimp allergy and although the menu isn't marked with GF, or GS, the staff is always excellent on guiding to what is GF and which dishes can be made GF. Each time they came to the table with another dish, they always said if it was free from shrimp and gluten and made a point of saying which dishes were not GF. Absolutely one of our favorite places for the last 25 years or so, both the Malibu and Newport locations, and it still is.

At Duke's, the food, service, and ambiance are great. The restaurant is roomy, so you don't get the feeling of tables jammed together, as in some restaurants. It's not cheap, but I feel like prices are fair for a restaurant of this quality.

I couldn’t make it at home and made me feel healthy and wholesome being perfectly spiced.

Not sure why we waited so long to come here. By far, the best restaurant in Orange County. Everything was amazing. We had the dumplings, shaky beef, garlic noodles and bone marrow. Every dish was super delicious, including the desserts. Amazing cocktails, too!
