    We had an amazing experience. The food was great, our server May was fantastic, and the Disney fireworks show at 9:30 pm was a cool bonus. Will definitely be back.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Newport Beach. Although its a waterfront location, they have a temporary enclosure on the patio that allows you to see the boat traffic, but insulates from the cold temperature. That combined with the radiant heat on the patio keeps it nice and cozy. The food is outstanding, I had the crispy lasagna, and it was great. The Manhattans were great, as was the wine I selected, a Daou Cab Franc by the glass, which was reasonably priced and blended well with the dish. My dinner partner and I had a memorable time, topped off with a delicious dessert, and a photo of us two at the entrance, which is a perfect background for a picture. The only downside was the parking was full when we arrived at 6:30, but we were directed to the next door valet, who parked us with no issue. The restaurant was crowded but not cramped, as there's plenty of space to move around inside the restaurant. Very highly recommend if you like steak and italian food, and of course, who doesn't?

    This was my second visit, to try different cocktails and food items. As with the first visit, Tokyo Noir did not disappoint. The bartenders are entertaining and so helpful with drink selection. The impressive Japanese whiskey selection satisfies those who want just a neat dram. I'm glad to see they're busy (I waited 15+minutes for my reservation). Means they'll be around for my third (fourth, fifth...) visit Faves so far: Okinawa gimlet, Astro boy, Monochrome

    We came in on a Wednesday at 6pm, very quiet, music was nice. Our waitress Venus was very lovely. We had a beautiful view, the heaters felt really good. The bites were a great sharing portion and the cocktails were amazing. Recommend this place for a casual date night.
