COSTA MESA.

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. One of Newport's more exclusive restaurants, chic Bayside has garnered quite a reputation for itself, thanks to deftly-prepared seafood and an atmosphere more Beverly Hills than Orange County. A favorite with the young and trendy crowd, Bayside is an exercise in juxtaposition: Gallery-like dining rooms and a sleek bar contrast with a vine-draped exterior, reminiscent of a spaghetti Western set. The menu is equally fascinating, composed of dishes like Pacific grilled swordfish and risotto with pancetta-wrapped tiger prawns. A 4-course prix fixe menu is $49.95. |

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Hip. Stylish. Sexy. These words spring to mind when describing this enticing gem. Part of a family of restaurants that includes Houston's and Bandera, Gulfstream certainly has done its part to make sure people don't confuse it with its siblings. The building it occupies is sleek and contemporary, and the main dining room boasts an exhibition kitchen. Outside, fireside areas offer pleasant dining no matter the time of year. Fresh-caught seafood, of course, is Gulfstream's strong suit, and Pacific oysters, cedar plank salmon, and tuna copia are perennial faves. |

The community's charm and attitude are seemingly worlds away from day-to-day mainland travails. What makes this family-owned restaurant so special? Well, although it's a neighborly place where the word "stranger" has no meaning, in truth, it all comes down to the food. Wilma's serves outstanding home-cooked fare all day long, from hearty Mexican scrambles and seafood omelets to dinner specialties like meat loaf, pot roast, and charbroiled flat-iron steak. Patio seating is available year-round. |
