I have to admit, the only reason I wanted to come here is because the restaurant has been featured on the real housewives of Orange County several times. The restaurant is located on Pacific Coast Highway and if you blink you will miss it. It was surprisingly small but cozy. We came on a Friday evening around seven. The bar area has open seating and we were able to get a table right away. The waitress was very nice and took our drink orders immediately. I had the spicy margarita which was delicious. No housewife sightings but we had a great time and will definitely come back for dinner because the menu looked incredible.

Food and service are top notch. The only drawback is the noise level. Other than the noise, this place has got a fantastic dining experience. Pro tip: try the garlic bread.

Never been here but my amigo told me this is an amazing place with a great vibe And beautiful woman I should try this place out tomorrow Saturday after work

I've been wanting to visit The Quiet Woman for years and the other night I finally got a chance. It was my wife's 28th birthday and our 2nd anniversary weekend, so I booked us a reservation. In the comments on OpenTable, I recommended to sit in a booth if it was available. Julies was very accommodating to make sure that we were seating in an amazing booth. The ambiance of the restaurant reminded me of an 1980s restaurant in Southern France mixed with Hollywood. I love the open format plan of the restaurant as it allows you to vibe in the dining section while also enjoying the upbeat bar vibe. In today's time you don't get live music and it blended to make an amazing vibe. I was so caught up in the experience which I didn't get a chance to take photos of any of our items, but I remember what we ate. We started off with the QW Salty Dog and The Refresher for cocktails. The QW Salty Dog was an absolutely refreshing cocktail and I understand why they say it's a favorite. I also enjoyed how they gave you an extra side of it sitting in ice, so it would stay cold. Yasmeen had The Refresher which she truly enjoyed. It was a simple drink, but tasted complex. For appetizers, we ordered the Seafood Cocktail and Artichoke. The Seafood Cocktail was amazing. I'm not usually one that likes cocktail sauce, but they didn't put the horseradish in it and instead put it on the side. The crab tasted fresh and the shrimp were quite large. Yasmeen I guess hasn't ever eaten an artichoke, so she decided to put the whole leaf in her mouth and chew it. Once she got down to the heart, she understood she ate the wrong portion of it haha. For entrees, we ordered the Nantucket and Spicy Vodka. The Nantucket was amazing scallops and I'm not one to order them as I've had some bad experiences with scallops. The red pepper and cauliflower puree complimented the scallops well. The Spicy Vodka pasta was so delicious. It was a large portion and was served in a sizzling metal dish. The pasta was the favorite of mine of the night and is so simple. For our special occasion, they brought us a butter cake which was so delectable. It was sweet, but not too sweet. Overall, I would recommend this establishment to anyone because it has something for everyone. It's hard to find a place with an ambiance like this, especially with as good drinks and food. Continue killing it Quiet Woman. I give our experience a 9.5/10.

The hidden gem of the OC!!! Food and service are top notch. All the food was homemade and delicious. The chicken tortilla soup had large pieces of white meat chicken, fresh avocado and tasty tortilla strips on top. By far the best chicken tortilla soup I have ever had. Everything on the menu is delicious. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated.

I had a minor issue with scheduling so called ahead to see if I could keep the party size just a different day/time. The customer service was above and beyond and we even got a better time right before the nightly band came on. Made for a great atmosphere. The food, drinks and service was outstanding! The only complaint is we had to use the men's restroom because the women's was out of order-definitely something that didn't bother us, especially after a few of their delicious cocktails! We visited Newport Beach for our annual summer vacation, and this was our first time visiting. I am a OC housewife fan so it brought me here, can't wait to return!

The sliders were epic in flavor and product quality. The old fashioned was made to perfection and it's hard to make a traditional drink so well. The bar area was a bit cramped with tables so close. It may need to be opened up a bit for people to even walk to the bathroom.

Came here for a girls night out. We went there in hopes to run into some housewives but no luck. Our waitress, Tiffany, was great too. She took our drink orders quickly and even recommended some drinks to the girls in our party. She even took our orders after we got enjoy our drinks. They do not disappoint with their alcoholic beverages. I ordered a Paloma and most places water the drink down...not this place. I had to ask for extra juice to mask all the tequila in the drink. But it was yummy! Our group ended up ordering the QW salad which is like your very own salad bar. They basically give you a bowl with your greens and the dressing to your choice/liking and put all the toppings (broccoli, bacon, mushrooms, carrots, bean sprouts, croutons, and chickpeas) on a Lazy Susan. All the topping were very fresh and the croutons were seasoned really well. They were not too hard, just right. For my entree, I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle. First off, the short rib was so tender and flavorful. The pasta (pappardelle) was cooked perfectly, not soggy and more on the al dente side. The carrots were on the harder side and I wasn't much of a fan but the food was still great. If you are looking for a cool night out with friends or a date night, I definitely recommend this place. They do have a band who plays during weekends but make sure to get there early because it does get packed.

Was able to get in last minute for a 5 pm reservation- thank you Julius. What we had: Wine - attempted to order Flowers Pinot Noir but sold out so I had Duckhorn Decoy Merlot which is ok but I like smaller boutique wines and was the only one drinking wine. The QW salad - I love how it comes with all the additions and the cheesy bread! Scallops were really good with asparagus and cauliflower mash and a red pepper sauce. Seafood bisque was rich, delicious and had a good amount of fish. I loved it. I love soups and any restaurant that has regularly rotating soups is my jam. The setting is classic with booths and a darker feel which is a thing of the past but I like the separation for the tables and how cozy it is. The artwork and staff are also great. If you don't know about QW you should! We will be back.
