Great dining experience. The food is really good and there’s some great menu options. Cocktails were on point, and our service was exceptional, oir server took great care of without making us feel rushed. Ideally located right across from a parking structure so its easy to get in and out. Will happily dine here again soon.

Went in for my first time today and the restaurant is so beautiful! The window seating was amazing and I loved that the server would put the window down for you so you ge the nice breeze. Service was amazing and everyone was so nice.

R&D was an interesting take on American cuisine. At first, the menu seemed all over the place with no clear theme, but after seeing its conforto food meets Californian with a modern twist it made a bit more sense.

I can’t believe I have not been here before in all my years visiting! Enjoyed an absolutely delicious Newporter Salad. It was expertly dressed and loved that everything in this salad was already cut to perfect proportions to eat! Such a rare find!

This place is one of my favorites for lunch. Come early, it’s always packed but they do a great job with seating and estimates for wait. Food is super consistent, simple, and great. The Asian salad is my go to, but I love everything on the menu. Been coming here for 15 years.

This place is great for people watching!! You will need a reservation as it’s always full all day long. The French dip was fabulous. The prime rib meat was spot on. The French fries were only ok. Nothing wrong, nothing great. Truffle oil or duck fat would have turned it up a notch.

Hands Down our favorite restaurant. Everything we have tried is delicious. This is the only place that I ever eat a hamburger. The quality of the beef is excellent. It’s perfectly cooked and there’s a perfect mix of lettuce, onions ( grilled onions too) tomato and dressing. The hickory sauce takes it over the top.

Awesome American restaurant in the middle of fashion island in Newport Beach. Awesome drinks and food. The crispy chicken sandwich is out of this world for $21. My wife likes their hamburgers for $20 and my son has their Asian chicken noodle salad that come in iceberg lettuce for $23. Cocktails are $15 and beer on tap $10. High quality ingredients and great taste.
