Tucked away in a modest little shopping center, this serene space feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. Chef Jordan Nakasone oversees two seatings a night, by reservation only, at the understated counter. With one foot planted in tradition and the other in creativity, the menu strikes a pleasing balance, highlighting seasonality and excellent quality ingredients. Skillfully prepared nigiri hew more towards the former, showcasing delicacies like yagara (red cornetfish) and nodoguro (blackthroat sea perch), while the array of kitchen dishes show a bit of flair, as in an indulgen

Selanne Steak Tavern

Steakhouse, American Contemporary

$$$$

Once a home, this historic setting on Pacific Coast Highway now houses a winning steakhouse. Inside, a variety of settings welcome guests, ranging from the upstairs Loft, the bistro-style Wine Library, the handsome Tavern, or outside on the Veranda or Sunset Terrace. The buzzy bar is also a favorite perch for a crowd that's both relaxed and regulars. Steak is revered in this place and it lives up to its promise with tender, well marbled meat, but the kitchen ratchets it up with expert cooking (and dousing it in butter never hurts). Thick seared mushrooms in a Madeira reduction are a nice touch

Note: Temporarily closedSet just minutes from the Pacific Coast Highway near Laguna College of Art + Design, this Italian gem makes a delightful sight. Inside, the dining room oozes warmth, thanks to sleek banquettes, artwork-lined walls and an inviting bar—perfect for solo diners. It paints the very picture of Italian hospitality and that's even before you've had your first bite.Chef Erik De Marchi's menu has something for everyone. He takes a range of familiar dishes and enhances them with an authentic flair. Start with fiori di zucca, a zucchini blossom stuffed with ricotta cheese, anchovie

Heritage Barbecue

Barbecue, Regional Cuisine · Bib

Barbecue is a veritable religion in America, and chefs in this realm have a near cultish way of doing things. With that in mind, consider this SJC bijou, packed to the gills with focused diners and trays of smoky meat.Punctuality is of the essence as everyone is here, early and eager, for Chef/owner Daniel Castillo's food. His creations draw inspiration from central Texas, so when that sweet scent of California white oak gets going, find yourself transported on a riotous journey, starting with slices of glistening brisket—correctly charred and deliciously rich. Add on a side of chili with more

Marché Moderne

French, French Contemporary

$$$

Chefs/owners Florent and Amelia Marneau deliver modern dishes with hints of French classics. This is a stunning, elegant and sumptuous establishment that feels and tastes familiar yet original. The cooking follows suit from the glassed-in kitchen with soft globe lighting to the fire engine-red Berkel that's ready to slice their superb charcuterie. The classics, from coq au vin to the poached Maine lobster tail flambéed in Courvoisier and paired with a quenelle of scallop, are perfectly on point. End with a cheese plate or a traditional baba au rum. Handcrafted cocktails mirror the bounty of th

This elegant little operation, set on the third floor of South Coast Plaza amidst fashionable stores, has plenty of charm. With a gleaming open kitchen edged by a chef’s counter, plus a secluded patio, this is a spot to dine in style. Chef Tony Esnault offers his personal take on classic French cuisine, tinged with international influences, offered at both lunch and dinner as prix fixe menus of varying length. Open with small bites, before proceeding to more substantial courses like steelhead trout with fennel and rainbow chard, or barley risotto with chestnut, parmesan and brassicas, before e

With its elegant design and backdrop of the sparkling sea, this "fabled" spot doesn't have to try very hard to win fans. And yet, it never rests solely on its good looks. The room is packed with an unmistakable hum of happy diners diving into delicious pub grub. The comprehensive menu offers up a handful of delicious, inventive vegetable items such as the roasted cauliflower with green harissa, curry caramelized onions and almonds. You'll want to order everything, but don't skip the ambitious but well-executed 12-hour Kurobuta porchetta with polenta, romanesco, Calabrian chili, chimichurri, an

Bello by Sandro Nardone

Italian, Contemporary

$$$

Originally from Atina and boasting a lineage of chefs and farmers, Chef/co-owner Sandro Nardone brings his experience with Italian cuisine and wood-fire cooking to Newport Beach. Low lighting and large paintings set a chic tone in the dining room, while the open kitchen keeps all eyes focused on the food. It is an idyllic setting for a gastronomic retreat; and the contemporary cooking never disappoints. Get one of their skillfully made pizzas, perhaps one topped with mushrooms and green onions or tuck into a plate of pasta amatriciana, a house-made rigatoni in a guanciale and pomodoro sauce wi
