VIEW Restaurant & Lounge

What an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting. Our server, Breanna was an absolute gem--attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly cared for. She had fantastic recommendations and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.The food? Wow! Every bite was delicious. The dishes were beautifully presented and tasted even better than they looked. Don't even get me started on the drinks--perfectly crafted and paired so well with the meal.This is definitely a spot I'll be returning to, and I can't recommend it enough. Amazing service, delicious food, and a great atmosphere.

Ambiance - 4/5Food - 4/5Service - 2.5/5I've been meaning to get to writing this review, and re-opening my Yelp app has reminded me.This review is for 12/25/2024:Overall, the entire vibe of the restaurant was lovely. The food was delicious. The service from our server was subpar & unapologetic. Our friends just got engaged, and we decided to dine here after the romantic event. We had put in drink orders, which came pretty quickly. We placed our food orders, and the turnaround time wasn't good. The table next to us, was seated 20-30mins after we had been seated, they received their meals before us...AND we had basically ordered the same dishes as they did. Our server, pretty much avoided us, until we flagged him down. The menu doesn't call out that there is Parmesan in the pasta, and had it called it out, I would have requested that no shavings of it be given...allergies. I'm used to the parm shavings to be table side, and by request. They took the plate back, nothing was said & it took another 25 mins for it to come out. Again, no apologies just our server moving along with no care. Everyone else was finished with dinner, and I was getting full from sharing with my husband and friends. To top it all off, homeboy even got our check wrong. Again, no apologies just taking his time in fixing it...no responsibility taken.Again, cute place, tasty food...service can make or break an entire experience.

We are back w friends of mine this time to celebrate my anniversary and Christmas. I told my friends about the breakfast quality and flavors when we experienced the foods in February for my B day.There are lots of people waiting for the tables during holiday season. Busy busy everywhere outdoor pool area, the VIEW restaurant, and Edge bar.I planned to have dinner just husband and I on Sunday. The menu is quite simple. Not much selections for the dinner but I liked croquettes w gruyère as an appetizer, then chose rigatoni bolonaise for the entrée.It took lots of time to have our first appetizer. I was starving to the death after swimming. Not many chefs are working at night????Sooooo slow!But the croquettes were so tasty, crunchy, full of potatoes w gruyère cheese. Loved!For the rigatoni, obviously took a long time....I asked the staff when can I have our rigatoni bolonaise.Wow!!! So slow!!!However, rigatoni was well cooked, flavorful, well balanced w brocollinis.That was our dinner experience on Sunday.Next morning we planned to have breakfast together at 10:15. Waiting for the party of 4. I noticed immediately the breakfast menu was updated. I wanted the same Denver Omelette but not anymore on the menu, replaced w omelette Lorraine.For me, I am ok to take other omelettes as long as the omelette w ham, bacon, cheese, and some veggies including tomatoes.My friends and my hubby had the same 2 eggs, sausages, wheat breads w regular coffee.They all said so fresh and good.Thank God!! They liked the breakfast at the VIEW. I recommended this restaurant so many times.To be honest, last time I had wheat breads in my omelette plate. And French marmalade and Fraise (raspberry) confitures were on the table.I couldn't find any preserves on the table this time. No where.... nothing.I asked the server, can I get the French preserves like orange marmalade many times.Wow!!!I can't think about the Tartine without the butter and preserve in the morning. So weird!!Overall, the foods were good but I wanted to have the same Denver Omelette, wheat breads w orange marmalade.I know the menu is always changed, updated by season, but almost same ingredients to cook the omelette. I have no idea....only one option for the omelette. Why???I didn't ask for the wheat breads but should come together w omelette thou.When I recommend some restaurants, I was so happy about the foods, services, then I wanted to come again to try my fave foods.Hopefully the menu will be added Denver Omelette w breads, of course, French or English preserves too.

My husband and stopped in for a drink 03-01-25, talk about sticker shock, my glass of wine was 32.00, unbelievable. This place will break the bank, it was not even a good Chardonnay

Extremely overpriced for what it is. Very small menu as well. The roll was not flavorful, it just tasted like rice. Service by staff was the only thing that was memorable about this place.

Had breakfast here after our stay this weekend. I ordered the breakfast sandwich (pork belly, arugula, onions on a ciabatta) and my husband had the breakfast burrito (eggs, avocado, and chorizo). We both enjoyed our meals! As someone who is picky about sandwiches and can't have bread that is too crunchy, I was pleased with their ciabatta. Pork belly was so tasty and the onions were sweet and caramelized. I wasn't a fan of the smoothie but my husband loved it! I'm not big on sour drinks and the drink was a bit sour with the berries and yogurt mix. Not bad, but not for me. We didn't have to wait long for our seat and we sat at one of the fire pit tables. It was a bit big for 2 people (6 chairs) but think it would be difficult for 6 people to eat breakfast. We didn't mind and loved the view! Excellent spot for drinks and appetizers but wouldn't want to sit at this table for a full on dinner. Plenty of other seating options throughout the restaurant if you are with a group.

Came here for breakfast while staying at the hotel. Sat outside overlooking the poolAnd ocean. Ordered coffee and breakfast. Greek yogurt bowl with granola and fruit was very good. Eggs breakfast was good. Hash browns were especially good. Avocado toast with an egg was exceptional. Prices typical of a hotel restaurant. Service was very good as well.

Great location with a great view...While everything started out great at View Restaurant and Lounge located at the VEA Newport Beach hotel, the service was beyond slow. Drinks and french fries were great, and the servers were super nice, but they just couldn't handle the crowd.

Enjoyed brunch today at View restaurant located inside VEA hotel in Newport Beach.Amazing panoramic view of the coast and overlooking the Newport Beach golf course. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. It was actually very tasty, love the combination of green and red sauce on top with guacamole.Service was excellent !

Love to go here for the crispy rice!! The drinks are so fresh And then the patio view is gorgeous at sunset.
