  RH Ocean Grill in Newport Beach is polished, inviting, and absolutely worth the visit. From the Gallery entrance to the breathtaking view overlooking Newport Harbour, the ambience alone sets it apart—elegant, open, and effortlessly impressive. A special shoutout to Hannah L., whose warm and genuinely hospitable welcome set the tone for the evening. Her recommendations were excellent and made ordering easy and confident - she surprised me with a special engagement gesture, which honestly brought tears to my eyes as it was so thoughtful.

  I’m giving two stars only because of the atmosphere. The food was good. The portions were extremely small and way way way overpriced. Look at the pictures of the food and the picture of the receipt you judge for yourself. $24 hamburger. We split salad salads, but we feel like the portion was smaller than if we would’ve just ordered a whole salad. $20 truffle french fries. The broccoli we ordered was $14 and there was literally eight pieces. My beef dip sandwich came out warm. The broccoli came out warm. The burgers were very small, maybe be slightly larger than an In-N-Out Burger. And $24. Needless to say, I don’t think I will ever come back to eat here. We were definitely excited to try it. The views are amazing. The staff was very friendly, but not totally on point for the prices they charge. The service was slow. Restoration hardware you definitely can charge the money, but at least give the portions and the quality. I’m not worried about spending the money, but I don’t like being ripped off. When you look at the pictures of the salad, imagine two portions of that same small salad would be one main portion we did split. But needless to say for the price of that salad and the portion they give, you is kind of comical. I give the food three out of five, but on flavor, not size. I give the Service three out of five because the service was slow and unorganized. The staff was extremely friendly, so it didn’t have anything to do with the friendly mess of the staff.

  We came here for lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary and left feeling angry and humiliated. I am Asian, and the seating pattern was impossible to ignore. Despite many open tables further inside, we were seated at the worst spot, a table by the aisle right next to the restroom. I found this strange. Shortly after, another Asian couple was seated directly across from us, while there were still plenty of open tables inside. After that couple left, yet another Asian group was seated in the same area, while non Asian guests were seated at better interior tables. By the time we finished our meal and looked around, it became clear that every table along the aisle was occupied by Asian guests. This felt clearly discriminatory and unacceptable. I wanted to address this at the restaurant, but my husband discouraged me. The experience ended up causing an argument afterward and completely ruined what should have been a meaningful anniversary. The server was polite and the food was okay, but no meal is worth being treated this way. We will not be returning.

  I was excited to try RH restaurant. It's ambiance and service is great. However, we had a mixed experience with the food. Their Shaved Ribeye Dip sandwich has no flavor in the meat or the dip (au jus); and even the bread was left in the oven a little too long (felt hard not crunchy). One of us tried RH burger. The ingredients were definitely fresh but it lacked taste. We also ordered a couple plates of Grilled Branzinos which were actually very tasty. So I will definitely go back to RH again since they make a delicious grilled branzino and the ambiance is wonderful. I might even try their other entrees (and be prepared for a hit and miss). My hope is the restaurant reads my review and is open to looking into the the two items I mentioned above. Maybe we had a one off bad experience or possibly they can improve. Thank you!

  A beautiful, bougie setting paired with extremely poor service and disappointing food. The only enjoyable part of our experience was the bottle of La Chapelle Du Berry. We had a 5:15 reservation but were not seated until 5:30. After ordering, our food didn’t arrive until 6:36 - and everything came out at once, including the bread. One person in our party’s order was completely forgotten, and when it was brought up, our server appeared visibly annoyed and even rolled their eyes, whether toward the kitchen or our table - either way, completely unacceptable. Why mention our discontent when the service was already so beyond poor? I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass, which tasted previously frozen and was drenched in butter and oil. The mashed potatoes were cold. To make matters worse, I became ill after the meal. Everyone else at the table that ordered entrees mentioned how undesirably salty the meat was, chicken and ribeye specifically. The only reason I would consider returning would be for a glass of wine - since they don’t make that. If you’re looking for great ambiance and a nice view but are okay with poor service and subpar food, this may be the place. Otherwise, they should stick to furniture, not fine dining.
