I recently visited A Restaurant in Newport Beach that was absolutely phenomenal in terms of atmosphere, service and cocktails. Every drink was beautifully crafted and packed with flavor — a true highlight of the night. Now, as a vegan, I’ll admit I was a little underwhelmed when I first looked at the menu. Vegan options were slim to none. But here’s where the night took a turn for the better: our incredible server didn’t just shrug it off — they went straight to the chef and came back with a custom plan. I ended up with a cauliflower-based appetizer that was tender, flavorful, and honestly one of the best dishes of the evening. They followed it with a vibrant veggie pasta in a rich, delicious sauce that made me feel like I wasn’t missing out at all. While I’d love to see more official vegan dishes on the menu, the effort they put into accommodating me really stood out. It wasn’t just service — it was care. If you’re looking for a place with killer drinks, a stunning setting, and staff that actually listens, this spot is worth the visit. Just cross your fingers that the chef’s in a creative mood if you’re plant-based.

Best ribeye steak I've ever had. Dont get the grass fed one, get the regular boneless ribeye. Order it medium rare and it will melt in your mouth. However the Japanese beef is actually just average and slightly sinuy. But the Japanese mushrooms that come with it are amazing. The Caesar salad is the best I've ever had. The spicy tuna appetizer is amazing. The meatball appetizer is amazing. The hatch sausage appetizer is ok, with a Mexican flavor profile and dumplings which are really crunchy mini biscuits. The gnocchi appetizer is not that great with chunky corn inside, and having an unimpressive flavor profile overall as a dish. The mushroom soup was great but had like a dozen different kinds of mushrooms on it, some of which I didn't care for. The Brussels sprout leaves are average. The green asparagus is great. The mashed potatoes are great.

We booked the restaurant through OpenTable for party of 4 but changed to 7. The restaurant accommodated the change without issues. The reviews on OpenTable were mostly 5stars. They raved about the food. Unfortunately for us, the bone-in ribeye was the worst steak we’ve ever had. It did not tasted like it belongs in a steakhouse such as this. The drinks and appetizers tasted better 😞. We did have good service. The noise level was outrageous. It’s as if we were dinning in a bar (the restaurant and bar are separated by a thin wall). We were practically shouting to be heard and we sat on the far end of the restaurant, away from the bar. It looked promising but we all agreed it’s not a place to return to, esp since there’s so many better tasting steakhouses in the area.

River Jetty’s A Restaurant is setting the benchmark for digital asset performance in Newport Beach dining.

Their site isn’t just visually refined — it’s technically dominant, posting 84 Performance, 86 Accessibility, 96 Best Practices, and 77 SEO on Google Lighthouse.

That level of optimization translates directly to mobile search visibility, which drives tourist spending and strengthens the local economy and tax base.

Performance Summary (Mobile Focus) Core Web Vitals

First Contentful Paint (2.1 s): Lightning-fast initial load that keeps mobile visitors engaged.

Largest Contentful Paint (3.9 s): Slightly above target, easily improved through image compression and HTTP/2 adoption.

Total Blocking Time (30 ms): Excellent — no lag or input delay.

Cumulative Layout Shift (0): Perfect visual stability across devices.

Speed Index (4.2 s): Strong, with minor gains available from lazy-loading images.

Accessibility + ADA Title III Readiness

Accessibility score of 86 is above average. Only three items need tuning — adding alt text, labeling buttons, and declaring the page language. Fixing those moves Accessibility into the 90 + range and eliminates ADA Title III exposure letters.

That ensures the digital experience is inclusive, compliant, and optimized for screen-reader users ensuring nobody with a disability is locked out — a direct boost to SEO and brand reputation.

An SEO score of 77 reflects missing meta descriptions and non-descriptive link text. Both are fast fixes.

The Best Practices 96 rating confirms robust HTTPS, CSP, and HSTS policies — exactly what Google prioritizes for secure mobile browsing.

Network Layer Optimization

All requests still run on HTTP/1.1. Migrating to HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 will improve concurrency, cut latency by 400–600 ms, and likely lift the overall performance score above 90.

Closing Summary

A Restaurant combines speed, accessibility, and compliance into a digital system that captures more tourist traffic and spending than slower competitors.

The site’s fast mobile experience directly supports Newport Beach’s tourism economy by converting search visibility into reservations, revenue, and local tax contribution.

Their web team is doing outstanding work — the last step is to close that six-point accessibility gap first thing before anything else gets touched, which should take only a few hours.

Once done, they’ll hold the undisputed title of Newport Beach’s fastest and most compliant restaurant site, a showcase of how smart digital asset performance powers real...

First time here I had a cosmo it was very good, then there was a table that filled up in the room with about 10 men, it was so loud you could not talk to each other, now if they have a room which I was told they do they should have put a party in it so he wants to disturb the rest of us while we were trying to have a conversation. We ordered the meatball appetizer that was four of us there was only three meatballs, so we had to cut meatballs in half and all share and then the last meatball we had to cut in four pieces If you're four people you should have for meatballs! I really want to chicken but I was told by the waitress that it was full of mushrooms and I said well I don't really like mushrooms cuz they put anything else on it and she said no ( I also have a garlic allergy which I told the first waitress with the short hair there must be garlic in my food because my stomach started bothering me) I ended up ordering the Thursday special which was in my opinion really not edible it was very very tough it was the chimichurri skirt steak I ended up trying it get a couple bites and taking the rest home and I ate the fries, luckily my husband and I had shared a salad which was very good or we would have stop on the way home to get something to eat for me. I don't know whether I come back or not consider the fact that they couldn't even do anything for chicken when it's made to order and substitute another vegetable if somebody doesn't like mushrooms they should accommodate, And I don't eat fish I kind of stay away...

I have never experienced such disrespect at a restaurant, especially one that claims to be a high-end establishment. I often dine out in Newport Beach, and my recent visit on Sunday Evening to A Restaurant was extremely disappointing.

I went with two of my friends and we sat at the bar, ordered drinks and food, and were simply enjoying our evening. Without any courtesy or professionalism, the bouncer approached me and said, “You have three seats, now you have two because your chair is reserved,” while placing a reserved sign in front of me. There was no hello, no polite request, not even an apology—just an uncalled-for rude and hostile attitude.

I told him that I had just ordered a drink and would gladly move if asked respectfully. Instead, he became even more impolite. I was shocked that a restaurant of this caliber would allow its staff to treat paying customers in this way. When I raised the issue with the manager, no one apologized or showed any effort to make things right.

To make matters worse, after we moved, random people sat in the very same seats that were supposedly “reserved.” It was not only disrespectful but also incredibly unprofessional and dishonest.

A restaurant’s reputation depends on hospitality and respect for its guests. Sadly, A Restaurant failed on both counts. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality dining experience in Newport Beach. Hospitality at its Worst – Rude Staff,...
