Louie's By The Bay

First off the service was terrible absolutely terrible. I guess our table didn't order enough for the waiter to care to come and check on us. He forgot to bring us many items that we requested. The food, don't be fooled by the pics, well the food isleft to be desired. Chicken parm tasted old it was cold. Lasagna was cold in the middle, leads me to believe that it ismicrowaved. The spaghetti bolognese was okay but again cold... the Caesar salad was standard pretty good... when visitingNewport Beach there are way better Italian food places to go to , in particular Mama D's kills it over this place... if you wantoverpriced microwaved Italian food this place is for you otherwise skip it.... ????...

I'm honestly surprised by the positive reviews. On a positive note, the location is excellent—right on the harbor with a spacious layout, so tables aren't cramped. However, the drink menu is just average, and the wine selection by the glass is nothing special either. The food was disappointing, and the menu felt quite dull. There are hardly any vegan options, and the vegetarian choices are also lacking. I ordered a marinara dish that tasted suspiciously similar to the soup. To the owners: this is Newport—please raise your standards! We would happily pay for food that is genuinely good or at least a more interesting menu. If you improve, we might come back regularly.

We had an incredible evening—the food was truly fantastic, but what made it even better was our server, Edward, who outperformed all our previous local dining experiences, possibly even those from other places. We never felt rushed between courses, and Edward was extremely helpful with the menu. He expertly opened a bottle of 1995 vintage wine for us. Thanks to Edward (and the amazing food), we can’t wait to return! It’s rare to find someone as professional and engaging as he was on a busy Saturday night at such a popular restaurant.

Sunday at 11 am for wife’s bday so quiet and there were just 2 other pairs there. Hostess should’ve sat us at a regular table with a better view instead of the small one blocked behind a half wall. Calamari was the best I’ve had in a while. Sautéed spinach was extremely salty so they remade it bland with no salt. Disappointed there was no small bday dessert. $9 valet paying when there are no other cars in the lot is robbery. I can understand for peak times but not when they just drive your car a few feet away. Reserva una mesa ahora

We recently held a family gathering at this restaurant, and I must say, the staff did an outstanding job taking care of us. The food was excellent as well. Despite the chilly evening air, the heaters kept the room comfortable without just blasting the guests sitting directly underneath them. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I'm really glad my cousin chose this venue!
