This cafe has lines out the door at dinner time. Large, healthy servings of grilled salmon or chicken, salads and Barley. Perfectly seasoned. Food is fresh tasting. (Lavazza coffee is served, one of my favorites.) Small cafe with customers who seem to be of various ages, well-traveled. This is a hands down location compared to burger and taco joints down...

I live in Corona del Mar and this is one of the "locals" hang-outs, so you know that you are in the right spot if you are travelling from out of town. They serve a nice, traditional breakfast, great lunch and dinner. Cuisine is Mediterranean-meaning chicken and filet kebobs, moussaka (sp!), delicious green salads with feta and olives, vegetable soup--a... More

We have been to this restaurant many times and have not been disappointed. It serves authentic Mediterranean cuisine. There can be a wait and reservations are not taken. The service once seated is warm and friendly. The food selection is broad. The serving sizes are ample. Our favorites are the Chicken Kebabs and Salmon Kebabs and the Greek Salad. Serving... More

This is one of my favorite Newport restaurants. Huge portions of deliciousness. I love the chicken kabob entree. The paninis are excellent as well but the kabobs and more traditional mediterranean dishes really were fantastic!

My wife and I love eating here. The chicken kebab special at $9.95 is a true bargain. The marinade for the chicken makes it absolutely delicious. Also, the family to-go special at $30 for 4 chicken dinners is great.for parties and get-togethers at home. The location in Irvine is just as good, quite a bit bigger in size, and less... More

Their best location remains in Beverly Hills but it is nice to get the restaurant in OC as well. Not the same atmosphere but the same great food. Go for kebab plate beef or lamb are fantastic.

I loved this cafe in Corona del Mar. My husband and I were vacationing with my 3 daughters in Newport and we had heard about Panini cafe on TA. After a stroll along the beach we went here for lunch. It was on a Saturday, so it was very crowded. We only had a 10 minute wait, so it wasn't... More

My family and I visit frequently for breakfast. They have the best coffee & orange juice. We prefer to sit outside on their patio. They do have heaters when it's cold and the inside gets a bit noisy and crowded when it's full. I have ordered everything from omelets, French toast and wraps and have always been pleased and they...
