From the Patio to the Plate: Why SET Is More Than a Steakhouse in Newport Beach
Dining in Newport Beach, Elevated
When most people think of a steakhouse in Newport Beach, they picture the traditional: dark interiors, heavy meals, and a menu that doesn’t stray too far from the classics. At SET, we’ve rewritten that script.
We’re not just a place to enjoy the best steak in Newport Beach—we’re a destination where modern American cooking meets coastal influence, and where the setting is as much a part of the experience as the food itself.
A Patio Worth Planning Around
The garden-inspired patio at SET is one of Newport Beach’s hidden gems. Surrounded by greenery, strung with glowing lights, and open to the ocean air, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger long after the plates are cleared.
Perfect for brunch in the late morning sun, cocktails at golden hour, or a late-night dinner under the stars, it’s a setting that takes the traditional steakhouse experience outdoors—without losing any of the refinement.
From Prime Cuts to Sushi in Newport Beach
Yes, SET is a Newport Beach steakhouse—but we’re also a home for sushi lovers, seafood enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates fresh, thoughtful cooking.
Highlights from the menu include:
40oz Wagyu Tomahawk from Black Opal, AUS
Dry-Aged New York Strip from Brawley, CA
Bluefin Tuna Pizza with ponzu aioli and truffle oil
Kampachi Crudo with spicy yuzu and serrano
Protein Punch Roll with bluefin tuna, salmon, hamachi, and avocado
It’s this balance of steakhouse classics and sushi innovation that makes SET more than just another spot for dinner in Newport Beach.
More Than a Meal—A Newport Beach Experience
Whether it’s weekend brunch in Newport Beach with espresso martini trees and caviar benedicts, or an intimate dinner featuring wagyu and a bold Bordeaux, SET creates moments that feel elevated without being overdone.
It’s why locals call us one of the best places to celebrate, and why visitors add us to their “must-dine” list when planning their stay.
