Q:
I called several times Tuesday- no answer actually disconnected. I have a group of 14 for June 4th around 1:00. Is there a chance we can get a table for that many?
A:
They are currently closed for renovations. Not sure how it will look when they reopen but it's very small, not a great spot for a party that size

I see this place doesn't accept reservation. Can we have an idea how busy the place is on weekday nights? (especially NPRW like now)
A:
I'm here on a Monday afternoon, only 6 tables are taken. It's not busy at all! No wait

What a cute fun little restaurant. We stopped by for a drink on Saint Patrick's day. They had themed green drinks. It was fun. They also had a special Saint Patrick's brunch menu.
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Dale. Such a nice guy! He came over and helped us take pictures and was very nice and hospitable.
Would definitely recommend stopping by here if you are in the area.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Keith F.Newport Beach, CA1045271139Mar 1, 2024
I cannot rave enough about the Summer House in CDM! As someone who frequents this gem, I can confidently say it never disappoints. The staff consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every visit is exceptional. Whether you're in for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, their warm hospitality makes you feel right at home.
The ambiance is delightful, perfect for soaking up the coastal vibes of Corona Del Mar.
Whether you're a local or just passing through, Summer House is a must-visit destination. Trust me, once you experience the magic of this restaurant, you'll find yourself coming back time and time again. Cheers to the fantastic team at Summer House for consistently exceeding expectations!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - William C.Nokomis, Minneapolis, MN146859Jan 18, 2024Updated review
Tuna melt very tall. Had to bite half at a time very nice flavor. taste good tuna mild taste lots of cheese and good toast on the bread.
Sweet potato fries are very good. Less than 1/4 per side with crisp fry.
IPA spacedust had burnt hops taste to me. I would not get again
Chocolate heaven was good. The ice cream really made it.
Service is good
We have eaten here every time we come to the area and every meal is very goodHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Nov 23, 2023Previous reviewThis is a favorite place for my daughter. We have been here a number of times and always good. This time I had the Lost Wallet drink. $15. I liked it a lot and so did my wife. Very little peanut butter flavor. Very smooth and pleasant.
The Bloody Mary $10 did not go over well. Too spicy and "not enjoyable" flavor. Your mileage may vary. $10
The Berries and Bubbles was very refreshing. $15.
I had the Ginger crusted ono with jasmine rice. I get this every other time we come here. Very good as always. $27. Not strong ginger but right on.
My wife had the fish tacos. Mahi Mahi. Very good.
Service by Stephany O was very good.Feb 15, 2022Previous reviewIn CDM (Corona Del Mar) and outside seating is on the Coast Highway.
I got an Sam Smith Oatmeal Stout $8
ok beer list.
$15 margaritas
Ginger encrusted ono was on a bed of rice. Very good dish. I would get again and a nice size for the $24.
They had a good Ahi Poke and a BLTA (BLT with avocado) each for $17 or $17.50
The BLTA came with sweet potato fries.
Overall nice meal at a fair price. - Tammy K.Los Angeles, CA41316Apr 21, 2024
True reviews of this place are the ones with 3 or less stars. Worst customer service. Stay away if you don't want to ruin your day. This place is not worth it.

My brother lives in Newport Beach and recommended SH for lunch.Dishes ordered: Fish tacos,BBQ chicken salad and Pork Sandwhich. Everything was awesome! Pretty fast service and noticed it's very dog friendly.

This has become our go to. We walk down the street and get a bite to eat.
It's the place to go in CDM for something casual and sit down.
Great atmosphere!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 16, 2023
This restaurant is close to the Sherman library and gardens we chose this restaurant because it was close to the venue. The restaurant is based on a summer theme however being Christmas the restaurant embraced the holidays . We were seated right away and the server was attentive and accommodating our requests. I ordered the grilled chicken club sandwich and my friend got the pulled pork sandwich. Our meals were served hot and timely. The flavor of my club were well matched and flavorful. Would go back again.

I hadn't been to Summer House since 2021 and was looking forward to meet with family for lunch on a Saturday and boy was I disappointed! I had called on Wednesday and made a reservation given we were a large group and when we showed up, they didn't have our reservation down but regardless we were sat fairly quickly. Service was super slow as they seem to have 3 front personnel to take care of the whole restaurant and the bar which is understandable but if the place is semi full, be prepared to wait. Given it was Saturday brunch time, they should have another server. We ordered our food and unfortunately it didn't seem that our server was having a good day as she was restless and not very friendly. We the had to wait a good 40 minutes for our food to arrive and during that time neither our water was refilled nor our coffee. I ordered the carnitas burrito which was very bland and didn't have any salt and the little salsa that came with it was not spice at all. I had to wait another few minutes to flag another server to get be some hot sauce. My wife ordered the veggie omelette and it was so tiny and the potatoes very so little and bland. The prices are very reasonable and for the location, they can easily add a couple of bucks to the dishes and make the food a bit more plentiful. Not sure of if I come back again which is a pitty as we have been at summer time multiple times in the last 15 years living in Newport.
