Leave a ReviewFood and staff are 10/10. Always a fun place to go with the boys to enjoy some Happy Dad. Must stop by if you’re in Newport Beach!
Never been treated better. Josh made this especially good for me and the bouncer they both showed me and my friends a lot of respect. They honestly deserve a raise and I will be recommending people from where I live to go to this place and I look forward to returning to this place!
Great meal and great value. Hailey was a great server and Gavin was really helpful in facilitating the use of the speakeasy for our group dinner. My guests loved the place!
