Occasions
Newport Beach celebrates at home — a private chef, a multi-course teppanyaki dinner, and the harbor at golden hour. The guest of honor gets the chef’s full attention.
From Balboa Peninsula beach houses to Newport Coast estates, milestone birthdays deserve more than a restaurant table — dinner and a show on your own terrace.
Newport’s finance, real-estate, and med-tech circles book us for client dinners that people actually remember — including large-group buffet service for 40+.
Big coastal families gather around one grill — kids love the onion volcano, adults love the sake pour, and nobody has to spend the party in the kitchen.
