The Arc Restaurant

I stopped in based on a recommendation while visiting Newport and I was not disappointed. I was by myself and sat at the bar where I could see the food being prepared. Everything is cooked in the wood burning oven in the video below. I had the bacon, Which are more like Bacon steaks and the duck taco which was amazing. The bartender also recommended a nice wine and bourbon as a finisher. The location is out of the way if you are visiting Newport, and not a local, but I found it worth the extra effort to get there.

It was a very nice experience. The looks of the restaurant are always inviting and captivating. The food presentation was very excellent and at the same time, it was all delicious and tasteful. I couldn't have asked for better customer service from them. This restaurant is already perfect for me. I will recommend them to everyone without any doubt.

This spot is my preferred one. I visit a lot of restaurants but to this one I constantly return again and again. The stuff is very chummy and the cooking they offer is so delicious. I never miss an opportunity to have a good dinner in this place. Highly recommended.

Wowzer! This place is one of a kind! We were heading back to Los Angeles from San Diego and was looking for a place to eat. And stumbled across this place. Had the best wedge salad of my life here. The Wedge Salad was deconstructed and massive (see image). Meatballs had a lot of oregono in them. Will come back to further explore the menu.

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Consistently great

An ABSOLUTE MUST if you love steak😘😘 . The cuts of meats are top notch and the flavors from the wood is🔥🔥🔥. Immediately hit my top 5.

Wonderful place! Ample parking, but it can get crowded. Good atmosphere, friendly staff. We sat at the bar and watched the chefs cook in the wood fired oven and the Santa Maria grill. Some vegetarian options available. We went in for drinks and a snack. Nice selection of cocktails. The Hyland Old Fashioned was good, not too sweet. Ordered the pork cheeks, which were delicious and so tender. Finished our night with a Hoe Cake for dessert. So yummy!! Fluffy cornmeal cake (not gritty at all) topped with berries and whipped cream. We'll definitely be back to try the steaks and the shishito peppers with aioli.

I am not sure why this place is such a highly rated. Pizza was good but tacos are just okay. Foods are definitely over priced. I assume the rent is expensive. But still, the food needs some wow factors to justify the price. That is a ninus one starAnd the service wasn’t great. Our server started collecting our plates while we were still eating. On the other hand, she didn’t bring extra plates for pizza until we asked..i mean if somebody two people share a pizza and each person need a place. Isn’t it a common sense? it shows she wasn’t thinking about what customers want/need. A good server always think ahead and provide the service without asking or ask if customers need. Don’t you think?

two days ago was the first time in this restaurant. But It is surely not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the finest cuisine and fine drinks and with the honest charge. We will definitely come back soon.

Everything is perfectly cooked by wood fire. The dark wood and metal decor really compliments the food. The sausage is amazingly good, with a distinct, almost crisp casing wrapped around sausage meat that's packed with flavor. Also very good is the meatball served with wood fire cooked whole garlic that's sweet and savory. The brussel sprout, because of the way it's cooked, retains its flavor and texture while having some charred crisp on the outside. The drinks are all amazing, try whatever sounds appealing to you!
