The Crow And Kitchen - CORONA DEL MAR

We decided to try this restaurant, which was named the best new restaurant by OC Weekly, during our Sunday outing. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations, and we likely won't return. The decor is lovely, and the location is beautiful, but the service was disappointingly slow despite the restaurant not being very busy. It took 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive, and when they did, they were underwhelming. I ordered a Bloody Mary, and it was terrible! The beer I ordered was flat as well. After our meal, we ended up heading to The Five Crowns instead.

The flatbread was excellent. I had to return the pork because it was overcooked. While I waited, they brought me a salad to keep me occupied, which was a nice touch. It really reflected the Newport vibe.
