    Dined on the 4th of July for my husband's birthday and service was fantastic! The food was delicious, especially the filet mignon and scalloped potatoes. Everyone made my husband feel special and totally made his day. The butterfly effect cocktail is a new favorite. We will definitely be back!

    TFK Newport Beach delivers again! My friends and I shared several dishes for lunch and had a grand time. The spritzers are delish! We tried grapefruit, pineapple and pomegranate and everyone was super pleased with their choices. Also excellent team service on a day we were told had a few servers call out just before the shift began. Well done!

    Server Matthew was excellent. Staff was kind and accommodating. Unique and delicious cocktails. Food was superb. Corn crème brûlée is a thing. Order the specials. Definitely a new family favorite. We went early to avoid heavier crowds and louder noise level. Perfect for our style and speed.
