We arrived late in Newport and were the last people in the restaurant. The Chef waited on us and then prepared the food. He could not have been kinder. We were not rushed in any fashion. The food was excellent.

Great atmosphere,fabulous food and really nice and friendly service. A bit expensive but well worth it, considering the overall quality of the dining experience. We both had seafood dishes and they were excellent. Recommended.

We recently enjoyed a meal at Panache and found a new favorite restaurant in one of our favorite Newport beach neighborhoods, Nye Beach.

Because chefs vary in their interpretation of medium I explained that I like it light pink, not hot pink, and my husband added,"not bleeding". Well it arrived medium rare, and I sent it back. The second time it... More

Quite recently, he spent nearly 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mongolia, which explains why the restaurant offers a few Mongolian entrées. The restaurant... More

I had never been here, just driving by it in the past. With the recommendation, we went there and found excellent service, very fine dining, good wine and a comfortable, intimate setting. You're going to be so glad you tried this restaurant.
