Reviews of Back Bay Bistro
"My wife and her friends had their 45th high school reunion at this location. The venue was clean and presentable but the service and atmosphere were something completely different. The food was nothing better than average. I wasn't impressed, but then again it was just a high school reunion. The employees were more worried about getting out of there and going home then actually doing something constructive. The event was supposed to end at 10:00 p.m. at 8:00 p.m. the employees kept grabbing glasses off tables that were still partially full and putting them away when people were away for a moment or dancing. My wife bought a glass of wine which was probably 8-10 oz in size (tops) for $17 including tax and tip. While she was out dancing, one of the staff snatched up her still partially full glass of wine and took it away to be discarded. I had to literally get up and grab a new napkin twice, because as soon as I left the table, it was gone! We had servers either walking around or standing by tables like vultures waiting for people to leave so they can just grab everything and bail. A gentleman at our table had to stop a server from grabbing his wife's dinner that was still left on her plate while she was away at the restroom. You still have 2 hours left. Relax! The temperature in the place was excruciatingly hot! No air conditioning whatsoever! Just ceiling fans that were completely ineffective for the amount of people in the room and the activity that was going on. Luckily the vibe from the crowd was awesome so everyone was still able to make the best out of it. I wasn't the only one complaining about this stuff either. Several others at our table had the same issues as well. It's too bad that this venue threw a wrench into things, but everyone had a good time with all things considered. Personally, I would not come back here myself. I drove all the way from the Inland empire for this event and expected a venue that was comfortable and cool with decent service."
"Absolutely great staff. Helpful, professional and really nice to work with before and during our event. We ha a 60-person Reception. The food was amazing. Nice hidden gem in Newport beach."
"The view is amazing and the Sunday brunch (buffet) is awesome! Normal service during events is really slow. We got our dinner entrees at the same time as our 1st drinks..."
"Great food, must try the seafood chowder some of the best chowder in the whole O.C.. The king salmon was also really good. Portions are bit on the small side considering the price. Great views, try to get a rail table or dock table. Overall the food was amazing and the place was great."
"Blueberry Bliss is made with blueberry vodka, triple sec, freshly squeezed lemon topped with champagne served in a martini glass with a sugar rim. If you love blueberries as much as I do, this is a must-try. It had a strong blueberry flavor and tasted like punch. It was deceptively light, similar to soju, so sip and enjoy. Rating: 5/5 Cucumber Cosmo is made with cucumber infused vodka, elder flower liqueur, cucumber puree, and lime juice served in a martini glass. This was a very refreshing drink that just sings “spring”. The cucumbers and lime flavors were light and tangy. Elder flower added a little bit of flower aroma like walking through a meadow in full bloom of flowers. Rating: 5/5 Yellow Fin Ahi Sashimi is served with seaweed salad, wasabi, and pickled ginger. The ahi was very fresh with a beautiful reddish pink hue. Growing up in a family of Japanese fishmongers, I thought the slices were a little too thick for sashimi. I loved the soup spoon as the wasabi/shoyu holder, but since the slices were so thick it was hard to dip. I loved the wakame (seaweed) salad too, but I think the portion needs to be larger. It makes a nice bite with the ahi. Rating: 4/5 Grilled Salmon served with beer beurre blanc on a bed of spaghetti squash, walnuts, and bacon pieces. The salmon was succulent with a buttery texture. I love spaghetti squash and glad they are using this underutilized delight. The sweet spaghetti texture of the squash paired perfectly with the nutty walnut and smoky, salty bacon. Rating: 5/5 Bay Scallop Ceviche is marinated bay scallops, lime juice, and tomatillo salsa topped with chip confetti. The scallops had a nice soft, yet chewy texture. There was also some shrimp in the mix. It was not over citrusy and had a slightly spicy kick. Rating: 4.5/5 Ahi Tower is hand cut ahi served with avocado, tomato, and citrus gastrique. The tuna was fresh and set like a chunky tartare. The creamy avocado, sweet tomatoes, and crispy wonton chips provided a good mouthfeel. Rating: 4/5 Slow Cooked Short Rib is traditionally braised short rib served with mashed potatoes, carrot, and spinach. The short ribs were very meaty, tender, and savory. The braising sauce is amazing! It could be used as another sauce choice for a steak. Rating: 4.5/5 Filet of Beef is USDA Prime dry aged for 30 days served seasonal vegetables and topped with your choice of Back Bay Bistro steak sauce, gorgonzola bacon sauce, or green peppercorn sauce. The filet was grilled to a perfect rare for me. The texture was soft, tender, and cut like butter. The gorgonzola bacon sauce tasted more like a burgundy sauce with wine and mushroom flavors coming to the forefront. The gorgonzola and bacon flavors were lost, making it sweet rather than savory. Rating: 4.5/5 Lobster Mac N’ Cheese is made with truffle asiago cheese, pepper bacon, and New England Lobster meat. This was a great option since the hubby and I both ordered beef dishes. The cheese sauce needed to be thicker to coat the macaroni better. The peppery bacon was too flavor forward completely outshining the sweet lobster flavor. Neither the truffle flavor nor aroma was apparent. Rating: 3.5/5 Crème Brûlée is a traditional custard with fresh berries. It was very creamy with lots of vanilla bean inside. It had a nice stained glass-like brûlée on top. The mix of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and whipped cream on top were a nice touch. Rating: 4.5/5 Tiramisu Mason is made with marinated coffee biscuit with mascarpone cream. If you love tiramisu like me, this is the dessert for you. After a hearty meat entrée, this was perfect. It was light and had all the flavors and textures associated with a tiramisu – espresso soaked ladyfingers and fluffy mascarpone. The strawberries added a tangy sweetness and reinforced the spring theme. Rating: 5/5"
