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.

We had a wonderful dinner. We had a perfect seat and everyone was so helpful and accommodating as they assisted one of our party that was in a wheelchair. Our server, Nori, was amazing. She was very nice and provided great service. Thank you!

Another David Wilhelm winner! The Stroganoff was delicious, flavorful, not to much mushroom. The fish & chips was fresh, crunch, and yummy. Best of all was the Caesar salad- a little spicy, crunchy, and delicious! (I think they had this same basic salad back at Chimayo Grill in the 1990s... it was great then too,)
