More Than a Meal—The New Standard for a Newport Beach Steakhouse

In a city where dining is as much about atmosphere as it is about flavor, finding the best steak in Newport Beach means looking beyond the menu. At SET, we’ve created a Newport Beach steakhouse experience that delivers on every level—from sourcing exceptional cuts to creating a space that feels both elevated and inviting.

Our Approach to Steak: Quality First, Always

What makes SET a contender for the best steak in Newport Beach? It starts with who we work with. We source from world-class producers known for flavor, texture, and ethical practices:

Creekstone Farms (Kansas) – Hormone-free, corn-fed beef with exceptional tenderness.

Snake River Farms (Idaho) – American Wagyu with rich marbling and bold flavor.

Black Opal (Australia) – Globally recognized for superior Wagyu, including our 40oz Tomahawk.

Mayura Station (Australia) – Producers of the rare “Chocolate” Wagyu New York Strip, fed a cacao-rich diet for an extraordinary depth of flavor.

Every cut is flame-grilled to perfection, seasoned to enhance rather than overpower, and paired with house-made sauces and carefully crafted sides.

A Menu Beyond Steakhouse Classics

While steak is at our core, SET offers far more than the traditional steakhouse in Newport Beach. Our menu features fresh, inventive seafood and one of the most refined sushi programs in Orange County.

Start with Kampachi Crudo or our Bluefin Tuna Pizza, then indulge in a dry-aged New York or Wagyu Ribeye. Pair it with a bold Napa Cabernet or Burgundy from our curated wine list, and finish with dessert worth lingering over.

A Dining Experience That Defines Newport Beach

Our setting reflects the city itself—coastal, polished, and effortlessly modern. The garden patio is perfect for golden hour cocktails, while the softly lit interior sets the stage for an intimate dinner. Whether it’s a weekday night out or a celebratory weekend, SET delivers an ambiance that enhances the entire experience of enjoying the best steak in Newport Beach.

The Best Steakhouse for Any Occasion

From date nights to hosting out-of-town guests, SET remains one of the most sought-after spots for dinner in Newport Beach. We’re a Newport Beach steakhouse that delivers the best of both worlds—impeccable steakhouse traditions and the creativity you’d expect from a modern coastal restaurant.
