About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

Tavern House is the creation of restaurateurs David Wilhelm and Gregg Solomon who have developed numerous Orange County restaurants over the past 25 years, including Kachina, Bistro 201, Barbacoa, Chat Noir, Diva, Sorrento Grille and French 75. The menu reflects a collection of Chef Wilhelm's popular signature seafood and comfort food dishes. A large centrally located bar drives a vibrant night time scene in what is arguably one of the best view locations in Newport Harbor. Tavern House has a beautiful 50 seat private room for banquets with full views of the harbor and a warm central fireplace.

We recently visited Tavern House Kitchen + Bar to celebrate my daughter’s graduation. Overall, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was enjoyable, which helped make the evening special. However, there were a couple of disappointments that are worth mentioning. Despite requesting a booth in advance to make the celebration more comfortable, we were not seated in one, which was a letdown for such a meaningful occasion. They sat us at a small table in a small end section. Additionally, it took about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table after we were seated, which made the start of our experience feel a bit neglected. That said, once service began, our server was friendly and attentive, and the rest of the evening went smoothly. We appreciate the overall effort and hope for a more seamless experience next time.

Hi Henry, Just sending you a quick note of thanks for your review. I'm not sure why we could not accommodate you with a booth, especially on a weeknight, for which I am sorry. We hope to see you back again soon and provide you with the seamless experience we strive to provide for all out guests. Kindly, David Wilhelm Partner

Very good food, beautiful views and friendly service made our dinner there a memorable experience. The sole almondline was delicious. We went on a Monday night, and they offer a special Monday menu option from which you can select a starter and main course for $28.

We were impressed from the beginning with the valet service! We were greeted warmly in the restaurant. The view of the boats in the harbor area was nice. Our waitress was attentive and engaging. She really explained the menu well. Service was excellent and the food was memorable. We highly recommend dining here.
