🏝️ Found a Hidden Gem Seafood Restaurant in Newport 🍴

I stumbled upon Rusty Pelican—a fantastic seafood spot right by the port in Newport Beach—and it’s perfect for dates or girls’ dinners with your besties 👭! 🏖️ Stunning Views + Cozy Vibe The restaurant has incredible scenery—make sure to reserve a window seat! You can savor your meal while gazing at Newport’s beautiful coastal views; the ocean breeze and sunset (if you go in the evening) make the whole experience feel so romantic and relaxing 🌅. 🦞 Delicious Food That Wows (No Bad Picks!) Even though I haven’t seen any posts about it online yet, it has tons of great reviews on Google—and for good reason! Everything we ordered was amazing, so you can totally order blindly without worrying about misses: Orange Sea Bass 🐟: This was my order! It’s served with an orange sauce and rice—sweet, tangy, and totally not greasy. The fish is super fresh, making it perfect for anyone who doesn’t want heavy food on the weekend 😋. Crab Cake 🦀: Such a nice surprise! It’s paired with mango salsa, which is bright and fruity—ideal for a sunny day by the beach. The crab meat is chunky and flavorful, no filler here! Oysters 🦪: Ultra-fresh, and they even provided mini Tabasco sauce on the side—such a thoughtful touch. They’re briny and delicious, just like good oysters should be. Seafood Pasta & Fried Calamari 🍝: My friends ordered these, and they loved them too! The pasta is loaded with fresh seafood, and the fried calamari is crispy (not rubbery at all). 📍 Location & Bonus Tip Address: 2241 West Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA 92663 (Rusty Pelican)Right next door is A'maree's—a famous boutique! After your meal, you can walk over to browse and digest—perfect for extending your fun day out 🛍️. #Newport #Irvine #IrvineLife #NewportBeach #NewportBeachFood #SeafoodRestaurant #NewportBeachFun #NewportFood
