• Gravy was excellent.
• You have to wait for a table.

“Great place for breakfast. Large portions of all the breakfast favorites. Biscuits with sausage gravy was excellent. Kid friendly and loud, so don't worry about the kids screaming. You will have to wait for a table for breakfast but they pump people through there. When it gets busy your service may suffer but deal with it- its a busy diner.”

• The bathroom had vomit in only one stall. I'm not kidding.
• See review. The food, service and value.

“My wife and I have lived here for a long time and have never been. So we decided to go for a romantic dinner. My first tip off was that the hostess, was incredibly rude to us. My wife has diabetes and was drinking a fruit drink in a small cup when we entered. She rudely and judgmentally asked, "is that alcohol?" no, my wife replied. "Well go outside and finish it" she said. Now, really, we should've left right then and there. Or asked to speak to the manager. But we laughed a bit and stayed. We noticed that the place was not busy at all, and there were nearly no locals. We all know what that means. The service was gruff, unprofessional, lacking and rude. The food came and you guessed it. It was terrible. One dimensional, bland, small portion, my wife's seafood pasta literally stunk, the seafood was not fresh. I sent it back for fear of food poisoning. My lasagna tasted like it came from a frozen dinner container. A bad frozen dinner. All in all, after talking with some friends at work the following Monday, I learned that no one local goes there. It has a reputation as a place that needs a fresh supply of unsuspecting tourists to say in business. Advice: avoid. Go anywhere else for Italian in Newport beach.”
