Review Zinque - Newport Beach

Katherine Melnyk

Zinque is a great French-style restaurant featuring an absolutely charming interior and a fantastic dockside patio. The service there is top-notch, and the menu is quite interesting. We decided to give their cold appetizer with tuna a try, it was delicious and well-seasoned, offering a remarkably fresh and delightful taste.

Breakfast with a nice view! Overall atmosphere is good and service is great. Breakfast portions were a bit small but the food was tasty and the coffee is great. Will certainly go back.

The service was only fair. They were not very friendly, only seemed to take the order and bring the food. Very robotic, no personality. It is a shame for such a nice spot. I would have given higher marks.

First time in Newport beach CA last week and loved the environment immediately! This restaurant is right by the ocean with many yachts parked besides it, I love the music the people are playing on it! It got me so energised! I ordered their Rigatoncini Bolognese dish, it was delicious and met my expectation! It was served warm but it gets cold quickly as we were by the ocean. However it does not cost any inconvenient. My friend ordered their Grass Fed Beef Burger & Fries with a Bellini. The fries are so thin and on point! Also loved the sauce provided for the fries! We both had a lovely day there and no question would I come back when given the chance to! Servers are polite and everything was great!

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 seems like a service by team system, but no one really tells you. Seems like it, which is great, but would be helpful to inform the guests. Still trying to figure it out.

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

Went in for early breakfast. They claimed to make most of their pastries in house, but the croissant was not fresh. The coffee was good. My soft scrambled with lemon and herbs was fluffy, light, and delicious. The staff are nice and attentive. The view into the harbor is relaxing. I would visit again to try different items on the menu.

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.

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 freshly prepared. Great happy hour selection and prices until 6;30pm. They even brought dessert for my wife's birthday. Fast and good service. Best value on Lido Island promenade.

Lovely place! Great food, excellent service (they were lightning fast), fair prices. Steak + frites wasn’t the best I’d ever had, but the tuna tartare tartine was excellent as was the burrata + cherry tomatoes appetizer. Lovely harbor views, really nice ambiance, and easy parking at the lido marina garage (2 hours free with validation). Build in time to walk around before/after!

We had luck walking up here and really enjoyed our time! I got the quiche and my boyfriend had the bolognese. Both were yummy! Service was great and atmosphere inside was very chic.

Had brunch here. Great atmosphere, amazing customer service. The food is high quality and very delicious. Highly recommend this place. The mussels, tartar, smoked salmon all were yummy.

Food was deliciously fresh. Mussels have good flavor for the sauce. Try the steak with chimichurri sauce and branzino fish. Good lunch place to enjoy the nice view of the marina
