A Resteraunt, poor management! – If you are looking for a Happy Hour, make sure you get here at the start. The "management" has a few regulars and friends that they support. We tried this for the 3rd time on a Friday (10/7/11), big mistake. The small bar area was full, we waited for 45 Minutes by the front desk until a table cleared, sat down and then were told that the HH has a waiting list. Big surprise to me, the bartender, and the other staff, but the manager was able to move 4 of his "friends" from the bar to the table ... read more

A little bit of a rip – Went for my first experience Friday for happy hour. Ordered Drink and off bar menu at 6:00 pm. Stayed speaking with friends until 7:30. Place was packed and good crowd. Got bill when i left and they billed for full price NOT half off. i called restaurant said happy hour was till 7:00 pm. So what happened?. Wait staff knows I ordered during the happy hour yet presented me with full bill. i suspect that is their SOP to get more $$ out of you. That stinks. They need to be honest. Well i had my chance to ... read more

LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED – My friend and I go to Happy Hour somewhere is Newport Beach every week. We look for good food and drinks, friendly and knowledgeable wait staff and an overall pleasant atmosphere. Last Wednesday was the first time I visited A Restaurant. I was very disappointed. FOOD: We ordered the seared tuna, grilled artichoke and calamari. Tuna: Okay at best. I have had A LOT better seared tuna around Newport. Artichoke: Greasy, yes, greasy. It tasted like straight bacon fat and I had to thoroughly wash my hand... read more
The happy hour rocks as well as the burger!! – A's is the place for Happy Hour!! Their happy hour menu has great prices on food and excellent drink prices. The burger is "AMAZING"!! This is by far the best burger I've ever tasted, The restaurant has a cool vibe going on with the red lighting. The staff is very friendly and inviting. This is a place to grab some food, drinks and watch sports on the television in the bar area.
Amazing Steak Dinner – I have lived in Newport Beach for most of my life, so I have always seen A Restaurant as a landmark on PCH. I had never, however, experienced what they had to offer. I stopped in there with a couple friends on a Thursday night and was extremely impressed with the ambiance and quality of the food. I had an incredible steak dinner. Service was great and the location couldnt be better. Nice job!
