Current Coastal Cuisine - Newport Beach

For appetizers, we tried the Hawaiian poke, which was fresh and beautifully presented. The dish featured big eye tuna, roasted nori, Maui onion, scallions, avocado, edamame, seaweed salad, all on top of crispy rice. The flavors were fantastic, although I wish there was a bit more of the delicious sauce. I added a touch of sriracha for some extra heat. The caramelized Brussels sprouts were also delicious, with a unique flavor from the kumquat. We both ordered the spiny lobster grilled cheese, which was surprisingly filled generously with lobster. The dish was well executed and tasted amazing. The dessert options did not disappoint either – my kumquat cheesecake was light, not overly sweet, and complemented by the balsamic reduction. My friend’s nutella crisp was large and satisfying. Overall, we were very pleased with our dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to others. If you have the opportunity, definitely give it a try!

I tried the spicy tuna roll with crispy rice for lunch and it was excellent! The crispy rice added a nice crunch and the sauces were amazing. For dinner, I had the tomahawk short rib which came with a side of large vegetables. These were the best short ribs I have ever had, and I order them frequently.

In the interior of the renaissance, this comfortable restaurant has many seating and a friendly staff. I ordered the short rib birria tacos and the street corn that I have in each of the three tacos and bam a small stowed from inside! they were amazingly served with the consommė dip on the side. so good! the tacos came with chips and a beautiful medium salsa. I really enjoyed this southwestern eating!

This place is located in the Renaissance hotel, is clean and has many seating options. my man and I ordered drinks and the Burrata salad with laughs. the dinner was delicious! not too heavy. As far as the drinks are concerned, we started with the gurke collins, which was perfect for me when I drink a picky with. husband there is 7/10, I say 8.5/10 next was currently old-fashioned, which was super strong. he's got a 6/10 because I'm a **** when it comes to alcohol. drink that if you want to feel like a man. after berry bliss very girly drink and sparkling. pretty champagne? he's got an 8/10 and says it's what it is. Finally, the espresso martini, who says a 9/10 and is very smooth with good aromen. (Granted he is quite drunk by helping me write this review) we also got short rib darts, and they were great, but I wish there were more meat on them. overall a good experience.

They closed early, although the hotel had many patrons and several people at the bar to order food. also bad check the hotel
