The Beachcomber Reviews
Really enjoyed beachcomber cafe, they were great about
Really enjoyed beachcomber cafe, they were great about substituting the grilled fish in the fish tacos for fish n chips cod, and it was delicious. Freshly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I wish there was slightly more sauce bu
I absolutely love this spot.
Food and drinks are wonderful- and you can't beat sitting feet from the ocean. I always forget to make reservations ahead, so I was here right when they opened- which was the only available time. Started with mimosas, cocktails (they are to
Great as always.
I had a hamburger and my wife had the macadamia nut crusted halibut. Both dishes were great. The venue on the patio was perfect. We were seated promptly, actually a little bit before our reservation time. Thanks for another great experience at the

You can't beat the views! Sitting with your feet in the sand, listening to the waves crash, enjoying fabulous cocktails & fabulous food! Our fav local spot!
The food is fabulous and the service is always excellent.
If that's not enough, it's right on the beach, so watch the birds and the children frolic in the water as you enjoy your cocktails, roasted artichokes and beignets. No typical crappy beach food here - this is fine dining done informally and
I enjoy coming here, always have.
I just don't like the wait time for tables nor do I like their policy of having to give your ID to get a buzzer. But service is good, view is great. Parking situation is annoying.
The service at the front felt disorganized.
Despite having a reservation, we had to wait while a large walk-in party was seated immediately. We weren't seated until I approached the host to follow up. In terms of the food, the ceviche was fresh but I would have liked it to be more acidic
10/10 what an unbelievable experience and atmosphere.
I got engaged on the beach then came inside and the staff made sure our table was held and catered to our needs. This place will forever be in our hearts. Thank you guys so much. The food is incredible too!

The Beachcomber is one of our favorite places right by the ocean. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. We had the ahi tuna tacos, the mahi mahi mahi which was phenomenal, and they made the shrimp pasta for me even though it wasn't on their lun
Got a 7:30 am reservation.
Great attentive server. Great view. Family had French toast, pancakes with macadamia nuts and salmon eggs Benedict. All really good. Didn't realize the eggs Benedict would be on some kind of rye bread (doesn't mention it on the menu and

A literal restaurant on the beach aka the best view possible. A perfect date night or girls night restaurant with high quality American food. The pesto pasta was tasty with a good amount of shrimp that was cooked well. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on

A fun way to to start the day! We got there around 8am on a Saturday and there was no wait yet (although we were only a party of 2 and didn't mind sitting inside. Most people want to sit outside.) After breakfast it was fun to walk along the bea

This place is disgusting!! Their food is drenched in oil and no one came to check to see how we liked our food. Not sure what happened it used to be better!!

A must visit when in Newport Beach! Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast on the beach. Same familiar faces for several years, and was lucky enough to have the same server both July 4th and Labor Day weekend. When they "ocean view" they mean you c
I made a res for 4 people about 5 days ago.
The menu and the location drew me to this restaurant. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation time and there were no tables available. I was quite upset. I am handicapped, and no place on their website did I see any reference to any issues for p
Hammered Mahi-Mahi
Been coming here for years. Food was always really good. Never got the crusted Mahi-Mahi for lunch. At first bite thought maybe over cooked. Third bite hammered. Could not finished. I’m not sure how to describe our waiter. Very intense on being fas
Uber Good - Young Blond Girl Bad
A must see while in Newport Beach for a lot of reasons. Sitting on the beach in a retro style area can bring back memories of California the way it used to be. I've been there a number of times, and it never gets old. The service and food wer
Nice view and good food
My hubby tried this place for dinner for the first time while waiting for the sunset. There was a long queue so we waited for atleast 45 mins before we were seated. We ordered the Ceviche de Cameron and Brioche lobster rolls and it was both good. I
Not worth the price
A bit disappointed in overall experience for what you pay. Only parking available is in a lot across the street, $15. They do offer a shuttle to/from restaurant $2 per person,- per way. The location is beautiful located right on the beach. The fo
Great experience!
Third time visited the restaurant in the last three months, great experience every time. Very popular place so make a reservation to be on the safe side. However, they have walk in we you are willing to wait. We’ve made reservations and always had
Just okay
Food and service were good. Ambiance of the place is an average at best when it’s cold and dark outside. Bare bones public bathrooms are all that are available to patrons. You have to pay $15 to park across the highway and then $2 per person each w
Upscale beachfront dining
I have a staycation in nearby Laguna Beach every 6 months, and every stay includes a breakfast at Beachcomber. Although I've enjoyed both lunches and dinners here, early breakfast, especially on a weekday, is when Beachcomber is most peaceful.
We walked right in even though reservations were not available
Couldn’t get a reservation so we tried our luck and went anyway. We were asked if we wanted to sit in the cabin right away or wait 30 to sit in the front. We sat in the cabin - there wasn’t much difference. We ordered Big Bad Bloody Mary for $21
Breakfast and Lunch on the Beach
We made a reservation for breakfast and had such a great experience that we came back for lunch the same day! Our waiter at breakfast, Alex, was exceptionally good. He told us all about the specials, served us quickly and never let our coffee get col
Connect with users posting reservations for The Beachcomber
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Beachcomber. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Beachcomber at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Beachcomber page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at The Beachcomber to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Beachcomber!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
