And the food is amazing, especially seafood and steaks. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I love that they are able to accommodate large groups of people. Highly recommend making reservations. We went on a Tuesday and it was so busy.

Having dined at Steak 48 BH on numerous occasions I was dying to finally try its sister restaurant Ocean 48. Such a great dining experience. The "48" leadership certainly knows how to train their staff. Both venues offer excellent service

First time here and to say the least, we will definitely be back. Our server Alton recommended an AMAZING New York strip. Probably the best steak I've ever had. We fell in love with this place, not just for the food but the service and atmospher
Excellent excellent excellent.
Fresh seafood. Definitely a go to place now. Also, their wine list is very extensive, cheaper than many restaurants like French laundry. Loved the dessert too. I do prefer to cooked seafood tower though. The seafood salad is also a must try.

Ambiance was on point, workers were extremely nice and food was good . I really liked their devel eggs and Chilean sea bass. Great spot for date night !
I had a really bad experience at Ocean 48.
I ordered the raw tuna, and within hours I came down with severe food poisoning symptoms. It completely ruined my night and the following day. I understand that raw fish carries some risk, but I've eaten it many times elsewhere without issue. Th
The food, ambiance and service was impressive.
The bread, crispy shrimp and sautéed shrimp appetizers were mouthwatering, delicious and a good start to my meal. I loved the Chilean sea-bass with mushrooms and my partner enjoyed the filet mignon, shells and cheese, and mashed potatoes.
Ocean 48.
.. you are perfection and a gift to Orange County. We've been making the drive to Steak 48 only to find a more local sister restaurant that appears to have the steak 48 menu plus more seafood options. This restaurant is beautiful, classy, top no

Got food poisoning
I dined at Ocean48 last night and ordered the tuna. About 4–5 hours later, I began experiencing what clearly felt like food poisoning—two hours of severe stomach cramps followed by a long, uncomfortable night in the bathroom. Fortunately, I felt
stellar steak and seafood spot
When looking for a dining spot in Fashion Island in Newport Beach, it came down to Ocean 48 and RH Ocean Grill, the glamourous new Restoration Hardware's top-floor restaurant. I ultimately reserved at Ocean 48. I took a peek at RH Ocean Grill
Best restaurant in Newport Beach area.
Want to leave a review on how wonderful my dining experience was. It starts w/ Julio or server and continues w/ a marvelous, delicious meal. From the appetizer to the coffee every aspect was great.
Terrible
Absolutely terrible! Both the service and the food! We were there last night, and one of us ordered a bone-in ribeye, but what they brought was a piece of meat full of tough fibers, completely inedible. They replaced it, but the new steak was complet

Connect with users posting reservations for Ocean 48 Newport Beach
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Ocean 48 Newport Beach. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Ocean 48 Newport Beach at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Ocean 48 Newport Beach page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Ocean 48 Newport Beach to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Ocean 48 Newport Beach!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
