CdM Restaurant

Octopus was cooked perfectly and I would order again; different spin on the prep. Yellowfin was really good on the eggplant tempura; eat right away before it loses the crisp. A5 wagyu was good, but I question whether it was actually A5...... good marbling, but the fats were too stiff to be wagyu. I could be wrong. Service was good, but not michelin status. Ambiance was nice and the first couple next to us were super friendly and nice. Unfortunately they were replaced by a couple that was just ugly and embarrassing in their loud inappropriate convo. I know the establishment can't really address this, but it really ruined our experience and we left prematurely as a result. We may go back one day, especially to check out the speak easy.

Small, moody place w great booths & bar in the middle. Burger & Fancy pizza were great! Parking: Valet in back for $8 Kid-friendliness: Leave em home. Not that kind of place for dinner.

Good restaurant

The room itself has one of the coolest vibes of any restaurant in OC. Perfect lighting, chill background music and a comfortable classy decor make this place tough to beat. And then you get to the food... and be prepared to be blown away. The menu is well rounded with lots of things that make choosing a single entree very difficult... Too many delicious options to choose from. All of the salads were high-end and well thought out. But what really surprised me the most was how delicious their homemade pastas were. I had the cacio e pepe and thought I was in Italy. I can imagine living nearby and using this as a daily stop… hop on the bar... watch the game... eat their delicious burger... grab a couple of outstanding cocktails... it’s a pretty good night out. Easy to see why this place is one of the top restaurants in Orange County.

This is one of my new favorite places the ambiance is perfect, the food is delicious and the service is superb! I was definitely surprised how nice this place is I will definitely be returning again.

THE best restaurant group in Newport Beach for high quality food. Same owners as A Restaurant! The dirty pasta, chicken piccata and skirt steak on a Ceasar salad are all amazing as is the famous filet!

Our server was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and absolutely darling! I don’t eat meat, but the cauliflower hummus and pasta dishes are out of this world! It’s where Crowbar used to be, and I welcome it wholeheartedly! Outstanding! Vegetarian options: The cauliflower hummus is amazing! Parking: Valet in the back of the restaurant- don’t drive around in circles

An absolutely beautiful restaurant.
