A Restaurant & A Market

Everything is arranged properly and the store manager is really accommodating. I really love this store and I have been coming back here from quite some time.

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,

Great place to have a happy hour ... or 2! Get the martinis pickeled pear. So yummy. and the cheese plate is great also!

This is a great spot when the items are fresh and just out the oven.. The staff is always friendly and accommodating and the pastries are to die for! I always bring my nephew here for cookies and cupcakes and he never wants to leave...

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

The restaurant has a cool vibe going on with the

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

Some friends and I met up after work to watch the lakers play and have a happy hour. We had a great time and was pleasantly surprised to the find the place packed with young professionals!

I came here after work one day and was totally blown away! We were greeted with super friendly and helpful service the whole time, we even spoke with the owner. The server gave an awesome recommendation on "The Prisoner" Zinfandel and it

As soon as you walk through the doors, you feel the ambiance. The staff is extremely polite and helpful... I have been to 3 happy hours now and the menu keeps getting better. The hamburger is one of the best that I have ever had and I

We walked in without a reservation & sat at a cool table at the bar. Great food.. Fun place. Excellent date spot!

Great/unique food and drinks for a good price. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I definitely plan to go back often!\r

The food at A Restaurant exceeded my expectations! I especially love the appetizers! I am also very impressed with the wine selection and great cocktails. The Pear martini is to die for!!! You can't find a better happy hour around, the

My friend and I stopped into A Restaurant for Happy Hour after work. I love the Bar, it is dark and cozy and perfect for relaxing after a long day. The Flatbread is WONDERFUL! A must! Great Food, Great Wine, Great Service. I am coming

My friend and I have been to A's a few times after work for Happy Hour, and we were so pleased with the great service, the food, the cocktails, everything! The flat bread is killer, must try it! This is definitely a place I will be

I thought it very pretentious with very little substance. We had a family birthday here, with 5 people. The waiter was overbearing and snooty and the food recommendations were lacking. Have not and will not be back. Way overpriced for

I love this place! My husband and I just moved to the area and stumbled across the market one day riding our bikes to the beach. A's Market is so cute and the bread and pastries are so good and fresh. They also have great sandwiches in

This restaurant has amazing happy hour and food. I live in the area and have driven by this restaurant many times but never stopped in. I finally decided to stop in and check this place out, I'm so glad I did. They have the best happy

consistant and wonderful every time. Beware of the copy cats, Dan Marcheano is the man! great food and the best wine selection around at a reasonable price. service A+

I was a big fan of The Arches, so I really wanted to like A Restaurant. My husband and I went and love the atmosphere as always. As for the menu, great steaks, great appetizers... but the menu is a much lighter menu now. The portions are very small, which was not the case with The Arches. They also serve their steaks with a marrow (yes, bone marrow) filled bone. I couldn't get over it and just kept thinking that it reminded me of a dog treat. As for the pricing vs. The Arches, I would say it's a bit more expensive, you get less food, and I miss the "old Newport" crowd. I wish them the best and I'm sure we'll be back, but it's not my first choice anymore.

I haven't been there personally yet under the new ownership, but I've been told by family members that it is still good. I am looking forward to trying it out for myself!

Right on PCH in Newport, you could pass it if you weren't looking. Except they also have a "Wine Store" next door. Arches is known for their steaks but its overpriced. Now if you want decor and atmosphere go there. Beautiful Flower arrangements! Elegant waiters & staff. Excellent wine selection.

Good food: steak, fish.

fine service
lots of local personality and flavor
well-equipped bar...lively scene
good, old world feel
local art on the walls.

tHIS RESTAURANT GOES back to 1922. The location is the best and so easy to find. This is the best place to come for seafood. They also have great steaks. You just have to try it at least once, i guarantee you will be back for more.
