A Crystal Cove

A Crystal Above is just flat-out outstanding. The food is always fresh, packed with flavor, and clearly made with love. The service is spot-on — friendly, fast, and genuine. And the vibe? Exactly what you want — welcoming, comfortable, with great energy. In a world where too many places treat you like just another customer, this spot actually cares. You can feel it from the second you walk in until the second you leave. I’ve been here a bunch of times and it’s been excellent every single visit. Just wanted to say thanks — you guys really get it right.

Shout out to the incredible Chef Elvis for crafting the most delicious dishes and to the warm and hospitable Rachel for treating me like a queen on my birthday! From the exquisite flavors to the impeccable service, every moment was pure magic. If you're looking for a place that makes you feel special while indulging in amazing food, A Crystal Cove is the spot! Highly recommend for an unforgettable dining experience. Grateful for the love and hospitality!

Everything was perfect, the rib eye was best, lamb chops were fatty and juicy too. Oyster was super fresh, the sides i loved the spinach gnocchi, others were just so so. Overall I definitely recommend this place. Cocktails were also delicious and strong.

Such a cool atmosphere and amazing food!! The place is pricey but WORTH IT! If you are looking for a place that checks all the boxes on what makes a high quality restaurant, this is the place for sure! We came here with a large group and the staff so kindly accommodated us and took great care of us. The food was exceptional and I highly recommend the brown butter and sage ravioli. So yummy!! And then the basque cheesecake??? So. Good!! 12/10, will definitely be returning. I think Jake or Andrew took care of us? Either way, Pelion thanks you!

The food and drinks are spectacular. The service Isabelle provided was even better. Her knowledge of the menu and cocktails made for an awesome brunch. When I Newport Coast this place is a must

Just wow. Upon driving up valet was extremely accommodating allowing me to park in the front. Thank you! Upon walking in we hit the bar first before deciding on a table. The bartender Jared was outstanding. Extremely professional and helpful. Really made the dining experience better. After we had an appetizer. Spicy Tuna and some drinks. We decided to have dinner and asked for a table. We ordered the filet mignon, Mac n cheese, potatoes and burger. Filet mignon. Cooked absolutely perfect. Medium rare to perfection! Seasons well. With a good light sauce made from the steak juices. Burger. Asked for medium rare and that's exactly what I got. Cooked and seasoned very well. The fries were fresh and amazing. We had asked for ranch. But they don't serve ranch here. They had a sour cream base dill sauce instead. And it was very light and tasty. Went with the fries and burger well. Potatoes. Not overly salted at all. If anything you'll need to add your own. Which is a good thing. You can always add but you can't remove salt. Mac n cheese. Sooooo rich in flavor. One of my favorite Mac n cheeses I've had in the area. Yellowfin spicy tuna. Served on tempura eggplant chip. It's SOOOOOOO good please get this you won't be disappointed. Service was outstanding. Atmosphere is rich, wealthy, healthy and lively. Would I recommend this place? Without a doubt. We've been to the original location on pch. And it's good as well. However that location is super loud and crazy. This location is more of a fine dining romantic dinner place. The other location is more of a bar that has good food lol. Go and try it out! If you like steak and some really good appetizers and sides? Can't go wrong here. Decor: upscale and modern. Service/staff: excellent no issues. Food: far above average. Bathrooms: clean, no issues.

We went to A Crystal Cove for dinner after a graduation party, and it was the perfect way to celebrate: elegant, effortless, the hit place. The views of the Pacific at sunset were stunning, and the whole experience felt like something out of a movie. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, attentive service, a relaxed but upscale vibe, and food that genuinely impressed. We had a feast: Brussels sprouts, filet mignon, puree, and the Ahi for me... and it was perfect. Let’s not forget the Oreo chocolate desert ! The cocktails were just as thoughtful, balanced, fresh, and beautifully presented. Located right off Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Coast, A Crystal Cove captures the essence of coastal luxury without ever feeling stuffy. As a local realtor based in Huntington Beach, I love introducing my clients to spots like this where the food is incredible, the view is unforgettable, and the experience feels like a taste of the lifestyle they’re moving here for. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a Tuesday night, this place is worth the reservation.

I would like to thank the very professional bar manager at Crystal Cove restaurant. Michael Letua helped us find a great table and made our experience unforgettable. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and professional, and we truly felt welcomed in a warm and friendly environment. We really enjoyed his service and will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.
