Had dinner here for the boat parade and also celebrated a birthday that night.
The MaiTai's kicked my butt and didn't taste strong at all, seared Ahi app was refreshing with a zing of flavor. Dinner was fantastic the filet mignon was flavorful and melted like butter in your mouth. The Sea bass was lite and filling . And the reduction that was served with the sea bass was exactly what was needed to complete the flavor profile,Delicious!!
My favorite was the lobster mash potatoes, every forkload of mashed had a succulent piece of lobster mixed in the buttery potatoes. These are to die for.
The absolute best place for a Maitai.and live entertainment The Black Rabbi is pretty funny But the Hawaiian guy is pretty relaxing as he plays all the classics from the island
Bridget at the bar is amazing!! Her personality will definitely bring us back for years to come!
Great food and great service. The Pina Coladas are the best! Great atmosphere and music!
Come for the live music, happy hours, brunch, their famous Mai Tais, and the views. Can be very buay during peak brunch hours. Valet only.
I ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was very tough and tasted like it was a little bit old like it had been grilled before and they just warmed it up. And the restaurant sort of had a funny smell but I guess it could have been from the bar may be spilled beer? But the parking is what really kicked it for me. They charge $7 for valet and I'm handicapped and then they fill up all their handicap spaces and say you can't park there. If I could give them zero Stars I would.
Mai Tai and other drinks were very good, sashimi and rice bowl were also very good. Service at the inside bar was great.
Over priced and to fake and trendy
Came here with a group on a Friday during happy hour and the waitress had the worst kind of attitude. She was giving one of our guys grief for wearing a tank top and insisted he had to wear another shirt.which would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that all the waitresses and 3 women at the bar were all wearing tank tops/camisoles. She barely came by to the tables forcing guests to go to the bar instead. People like to come during happy hours and if you act disgruntled and rude no one will stop by. I would not come here again.
Great view of the baythe mai tai is a must try! Proceed with caution though! They are really strong and very delicious! We sat outside in the bar area.great breeze and a nice view!
WOW, this is THE happening place in Newport, one of the VERY few with outside bars that have a view of Newport Harbor. You can park your boat outside and come on in! The Mai Tai's are fabulous and so are the barkeeps: Angie, Matt, Scooter, Brad…the best! Try the sausage platter or the ceviche. Yummy! Lots of pretty ladies too if that’s your thing LOL. Really love this place.

Don't really know what's going on here, but the music yesterday was awful. ..did they change radio station or something? Also, the bartenders (guys) are all wearing the same shirts. ..what's up with that? I really enjoyed the different Hawaiian shirts everyday. ..how. ..BORING! Also kinda sexist, the girl bartenders are still in their tanktops. Come on Billy's.it wasn't broken, don't try to fix it!
Decent service. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere and views.
Went for a later dinner and was able to sit in the patio. Service was quick and food was delicious.
Great place. Fun friendly staff.,cold drinks. What more do you want
Well we love Billy's at the beach and their mai tis and tropical drinks the food has changed recently and I had to send my steak back 3 times we did have some lovely appetizer plates though
