Maine Diver Scallops
Absolutely one of the best seafood dishes in Southern California. The Dock never ceases to impress and keeps me coming back again and again!!
Spiced New Zealand Rack of Lamb
The rack of lamb is probably the best in Newport Beach! This dish, among every other dish i have had was perfectly cooked and is top notch. Just let the server pick your wine, they know what to select and enjoy!
Brioche French Toast
The dish was amazing. Can't wait to visit and enjoy this awesome brunch ...
Crispy Spanish Octopus
This restaurant is my food mecca and this dish took me back to the Amalfi coast where I first tried Octopus. It was not grilled however it was perfectly prepared with a crispy outer skin wrapped around a melt in your mouth perfect morsel cooked with chorizo and sun dried tomatoes. I have yet to find something on this menu that did not impress.
Block Cut Prime New York Steak
By far the best cut of meat in Newport Beach! Aged to perfection then grilled to order. Spectacular
Eggs Benedict
This is a mini delight for the yolk lover. I had the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. The salmon was fresh and the bread underneath was soft and buttery. The hollandaise sauce had a nice creamy consistency which really added to the dish in my opinion.
Maine Diver Scallops
All I can say is "🤤" Their Scallops are the best in OC hands down. This spot is Newport's Best kept secret for years. You will not be disappointed!!
Spiced New Zealand Rack of Lamb
A must for a wonderful culinary experience. Staff are very professional and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Pre and main courses are very well thought out, cheers to the chef and staff! The wine offerings are top notch to pair with whatever your course may be. Great atmosphere with view of water; Small but very comfortable, any larger and would lose its ambiance. Enjoy! NHHS 76
Fresh Market Fish
We've been to The Dock for dinner multiple times over the years and it remains our all time favorite restaurant. We no longer live in Orange County, but will continue to make the drive for the incredible food, wine, service, and atmosphere. This will forever be our special date spot - especially since my husband surprised me with reservations here for dinner after proposing during the annual Christmas boat parade.
Prosciutto Wrapped Natural Pork Tenderloin
My husband and I ate here for our one-year wedding anniversary. There are not enough good things to say! The service was exceptional and, in addition to the food, was what really put this establishment over the top! Our waitress was so attentive, but also didn't interrupt us when we didn't need her. She was thorough in explaining the dishes without rambling on and had patience when we had specific questions. The food, the wine, the drinks - you could tell how careful the chef/staff had been in selecting and creating them. The pork dish I had for dinner was the most moist piece of pork I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly. The prosciutto was crisp without being hard - it was the perfect compliment to how juicy the meat was (and our server was spot on in explaining the dish). The root vegetables had just enough bite. The potato gnocchi had a delicate texture that I loved. The sauce that went with it was just right. Everything fit perfectly together. We cannot wait to come back and tell everyone of this perfect spot!
Eggs Benedict
The Dock is the very best! Great food and great service.
Fresh Market Fish
The fish special of the evening was halibut. Always cooked perfectly when I order fish here. Served with a delicious pepper risotto which as well is done perfectly. Won't disappoint.
Espresso Crème Brûlée
The Creme Brulee was delicious, but my oh my. The Cinnamon Beignets that accompanied it were incredible. Instantly regretted ordering dessert to share. Now on a quest to learn how to make them, while accepting that I will never come close to recreating such perfection. A must-have dish. Nightly if possible.
Spiced New Zealand Rack of Lamb
I would recommend the Rack of Lamb even to people that think they do not like lamb. It was cooked to medium rare perfection, and the herbaceous crust was perfectly seared. The Middle Eastern spices and flavors were a perfect balance of sweet, spice, and umami. Beautifully presented as always, by The Dock.
Fresh Market Fish
You will not find a fresher fish in Newport! This restaurant is spectacular- from the service to the food presentation to the food itself, you won't go wrong at this wonderful gem.
Maine Diver Scallops
I've been missing an old favorite—Crab Cooker scallops—but I have a new favorite scallop at The Dock now!
Block Cut Prime New York Steak
The steak! Tender, perfectly cooked, seasoned and complimented with the savory, makes-you-want-to-lick-the-back-of-your-fork peppercorn sauce!
Maine Diver Scallops
I rarely eat scallops because they are usually cooked to a texture of a hockey puck or are raw and shimmy. The scallops at The Dock were by far the best scallops I have ever tasted. Fresh and perfectly cooked and complimented I will order them again. The rest of the evening, whether it was the food, wine or service, was outstanding.
Eggs Benedict
This is a mini delight for the yolk lover. I had the Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. The salmon was fresh and the bread underneath was soft and buttery. The hollandaise sauce had a nice creamy consistency which really added to the dish in my opinion.
Steak Tartare
I always love coming to The Dock for both Brunch and Dinner. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable on the amazing wine list and the food is always impeccable. I crave the steak tartare!
Cajun Spiced Poached Lobster
The best dish I've ever tasted! I had this as a starter and the delicious diver scallops as a main dish. Both were amazing but I'm obsessed with the Cajun Poached Lobster!
Crab Beignets
These are insanely, mouth-wateringly good. The quality and uniqueness of this dish is spectacular and I would go back to the Dock just for this. And added bonus is that the rest of the menu is equally as delicious and masterfully constructed. A must try for anyone in Newport Beach!
Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
I had this at a wine pairing event with you! Unbelievably amazing! Melts in your mouth tender and so full of flavor!
Red Wine Braised Short Ribs
Excellent choice recommended by our waiter, service and food was fantastic!
Crispy Spanish Octopus
Cooked to perfection! Great flavors, loved the slightly smokiness. Highly recommend and from someone who isn't a big octopus fan. Great way to start your meal!
Eggs Benedict
Oh my deliciousness!
