View At Vea Newport Beach

Lunch for four cost $300, which I found to be really overpriced for what we received.

We left after sitting for 10 minutes because no one came to greet us or offer us water. It was quite strange, as the place was empty.

This is a lovely restaurant with excellent food offered at a reasonable price.

Evil xmas dinner experience. unfriendly, uninterested, not helpful host. price fixed dinner $95pp drinks. in the bar area with tw and very loud patrons in shorts and baseball caps. not quite the atmosphere we expected. the restaurant was practically empty for 7:30 reservation, but hostess did not want to move our table to a quieter location, so many empty tables there were only 3 or 4 tables occupied. she left us standing after we insisted that she looked at another table. Apparently, the manager told her to move us what she did. from the bar literally prevented us from hearing each other. server was very apologetic. they drove us outside and put together 2 small bar tables for 2 to host the 3 of us. the manager came several times to apologize. $400 dinners didn't enjoy at all. no accommodation offered. we will not be back and suggest that they either train or get a new host. very unpleasant experience and sad way to celebrate a holiday.

First time at new reworked hotel. Great service and will come back on a non-holiday to check out regular menu
