From the reviews
We stumbled across this place by accident. We were in Newport Beach and had been to a furniture consignment store and a plant nursery then drove down to the park on the beach. We wanted food and a simple search for "fish restaurant" revealed two nearby. We were looking at one of them without realizing it...
Haborside has exceptional service and food. The filet mignon and halibut were fresh and cooked to perfection. In addition to the food, the view of the harbor is a perfect touch to enjoy while dining. I highly recommend Harborside for your next dining experience!
Getting married at Harborside Restaurant and Grand Ballroom
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
