Reviews for Zinqué in Newport Beach, CA
I love it here! Great brunch and lunch place with yummy drinks. I like that the food portions light and not oversized. If you're... a guy looking for a large meal, this is not your place. If you're looking for brunch with the gals, this is your place. Willdefinitely be coming here again when I come to visit Newport again! Read more
Plan on making a reservation. We ate here twice - and both times they were short staffed - but everyone was pleasant. Food was... A+ and very reasonably priced for this area. Loved the avocado toast - get a side of pickled onions if you order, you’ll thankme! And views are a bonus. Only complaint was 2 of our glasses were dirty - eek. Read more
Highly recommend this place. Fantastic ambience and views of the harbor. Great light bites and delicious entrees. The Aperol... spritz with the water views is a perfect combination for a great date night. Read more
Great atmosphere on the water. Food was tasty, quickly served and beautiful presentation. The cocktails were great. The service... was really good. She was polite, but dish knowledge seemed like she was not sure about them. The only downside was that it seemslike a service by team system, but no one really tells you. Seems like it, which is great, but would be helpful to inform theguests. Still trying to figure it out. Read more
I would give this place less than 3 stars if it weren’t because of the view and location of the restaurant, which were... beautiful and charming. The restaurant itself was cute both outdoors and indoors. Out of the appetizers and main dishes that weordered, the flat bread was the only acceptable item that we got. The steak frites was just ok, nothing spectacular. The restwas simply average or below average. The tuna tartare had no flavor other than that of plain raw tuna. Served with barelytoasted baguette, no spices or anything exciting. Honestly I don’t think it even had salt, a first time for me. This placehas potential, but they need to rethink their menu and/or have a chef that oversees what’s going on in the kitchen. Best ofluck. Read more
Great location right on the water with beautiful yachts and water views and ambiance. Cousine is mixed French/ Italian. We had... a flatbread with pancetta, pate and leeks, Gautier quiche, and carpaccio salmon with avocado salad. All good and freshlyprepared. Great happy hour selection and prices until 6;30pm. They even brought dessert for my wife's birthday. Fast and goodservice. Best value on Lido Island promenade. Read more
Great atmosphere, good food and a beautiful view. A place for all occasions. The grilled salmon was really good. I’ve never... had it with eggplant before, but it was a nice touch. The spicy yogurt sauce adds a nice dimension to the dish. Must try:grilled shrimps, flat breads and the grilled salmon Read more
Honestly, the food is mediocre. I didn’t care much for it. I liked the quiche I got but the salad, appetizers, and my friends... dishes were unimpressive. The quiche was definitely the best out of everyone’s meals. The ambience, on the other hand, isgreat. Stellar location and cute decor! Read more
