RH Ocean Grill at RH Newport Beach

Perched on the fourth floor of the RH gallery at Fashion Island, this is a restaurant that trades in scenery as much as it does in seafood. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with late-afternoon light, and the ocean feels inches away. Service is composed and polished, the kind that anticipates needs before you ask. The lobster roll lands warm and buttery, the Wagyu arrives precisely medium rare, the seafood tower is architected like a small, salty mountain. There is luxe theater to it, marble baths glimpsed through the showroom, and an outdoor patio that fills with clinking glasses around sunset. It is a place people bring anniversaries and big lunches; you will see suits, sun hats, and camera phones at once. Don’t skip the butterscotch crème brûlée or the old fashioned, with ice cubes stamped RH and edges that catch the light like tiny mirrors.
