Tavern House is the creation of restaurateurs David Wilhelm and Gregg Solomon who have developed numerous Orange County restaurants over the past 25 years, including Kachina, Bistro 201, Barbacoa, Chat Noir, Diva, Sorrento Grille and French 75. The menu reflects a collection of Chef Wilhelm's popular signature seafood and comfort food dishes. A large centrally located bar drives a vibrant night time scene in what is arguably one of the best view locations in Newport Harbor. Tavern House has a beautiful 50 seat private room for banquets with full views of the harbor and a warm central fireplace.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tavern House Kitchen + Bar offers "excellent service" and "delicious food" with standout dishes like the French onion soup and filet mignon. Enjoy "beautiful views" of the marina, especially during sunset. Happy hour and brunch are favorites, though some note it can be "a bit noisy." Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.

    We went to the Tavern House for my son’s Birthday. The food was amazing, we had several different things. The beef dip sandwich was delicious the meat was piled high and the bread was crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. The chicken and mashed potatoes were spot on, the fillet with French onion soup was also so good. I can’t say enough about the food, ambience, the view and service. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place.

    Once again our server Christian made our evening awesome and funny. His humor and going the extra mile makes all the difference in the world. He creates a fun atmosphere that all can enjoy. We appreciate the special attention that he gives my beautiful wife and myself. Thank you again Christian. Andy & Ruth.

    Food was very tasty, quick service, and our waitress Georgina was very kind. I would recommend to anyone looking for a low key atmosphere and relaxed but fun vibes.

    Enjoyed a New Year sunset dinner with our older son and his girlfriend at Tavern House. We shared the brussel sprouts and the sausage and pepperoni flatbread, they both were delicious. For our main we had the Filet Mignon, French Dip and the cheeseburger. All were excellent and for dessert we shared the carrot cake. Beautiful view, great food and above and beyond service. We love eating here.

    It was our first visit and it was wonderful! The experience was incredible for new years, they had decorations at the table to wear. The server was attentive and friendly. The menu for New Year’s Eve was nice and provided options. I would definitely come back.
