I flew in from Arcata for dinner reservations for Valentine with the Mrs. We are staying at the Westin next door. Easy walk to WG. The hostess was amazing, we were seated within 5 min of our rezo and near the Jazz musician. Our waiter was Brandon, amazing experience! We had spent Valentines 2024 WG at oyster bar. This evening rather than order off the menu we wanted to try the 4 course. I don’t have a lot of experience in fine dining and 4 courses with wine pairing. Brandon was very helpful with sharing how the menu would be served this evening. The Mrs she’s used to fine dining but for an island boy from Samoa it was a new experience for me. Amazing experience and for those who may have not experienced fine dining 4 course with wine pairing just ask the your wait person for help. I’m never afraid to ask if I do not know. The fork thing, the many utensils, the different glasses, etc 😂 Definitely will plan a dinner outing for the entire family, 12 total, this summer when I’m back in town. Salute and Respects to Brandon, and the entire WG team. The Jazz musician was 🔥🔥🔥

It’s magical from the moment you walk in. As you make your way up a gorgeous staircase displaying gilded frames & Grecian statues…. The aesthetic & beautiful RH furniture is definitely a show stopper. As you make your way to the top you are greeted with sweet hostesses and wine bars on either side of you. Food is amazing! We had artichoke & burrata appetizers. So delicious! I always order a cheeseburger, it’s so good! Their salads & rotisserie chicken are yum! Finished the night with the Bananas Foster dessert, it was outstanding!!

Ocean 48 has a lot of hype, so I went in with high expectations--and they were far exceeded, thanks to the incredible service. Our waiter, Adam, truly made the experience exceptional (if you're making a reservation and appreciate top-tier service, be sure to request him). We were celebrating my father's birthday, and as someone who has dined at plenty of steakhouses, he was absolutely blown away. Adam's recommendations were spot-on, and every dish was phenomenal. The filet and 45-day aged Ribeye were perfectly cooked, and the wine pairing elevated the meal even further. It was an unforgettable evening, and my father hasn't stopped raving about how incredible everything was--especially Adam's service, which took the experience to the next level. Ocean 48 delivered in every way, and we'll definitely be back!

"Nick's" is one of our 'Go to' restaurants, which includes: Carlsbad, San Clemente, Laguna Beach, and now, their latest restaurant, which recently opened in Newport Beach. We live in Corona Del Mar, so it's close to home. And a "Shout out" to Ryan, their new Manager!

Ambience was great (we sat on the patio, there were heaters and a fire pit), our server Jenny was delightful, and the food, both presentation and taste, was wonderful! (We had the truffle fries, steak & tuna sushi, and the molton lava cake.) The patio wasn’t very busy, as it was a Monday night. Everything was top notch, right down to the glass of champagne when we arrived! Love that! We’ll definitely come back again!
