About This Place

Great Maple, nestled in the heart of Newport Beach at 1133 Newport Center Dr, delivers an exceptional New American dining experience with a vibrant and sophisticated flair. This stylish restaurant and bar uniquely blends comfort and creativity, making it a standout destination for brunch lovers and food enthusiasts alike.

Step into Great Maple, and you’re immediately greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that balances casual elegance with relaxed charm. Whether you choose to dine on the sunny patio overlooking the water fountain or settle inside near the lively bar, the setting enhances every bite and sip. The décor is modern yet cozy, promising a laid-back but polished venue that encourages lingering over plates and cocktails.

The menu itself reads like a celebration of bold flavors and innovative twists on American classics. Guests rave about the Ribeye Hash — a hefty skillet brimming with succulent prime rib, perfectly cooked eggs, and hearty roasted potatoes. The balance of tender meat and savory seasonings delivers a genuinely satisfying experience that lingers on the palate. Another must-try is the indulgent Fried Chicken & Doughnuts, combining crispy buttermilk fried chicken with sweet, maple bacon doughnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup for an irresistibly sweet-and-savory harmony.

Breakfast aficionados frequently commend the French Toast Logs and the delicate Powdered Sugar Beignets paired with House-Made Lemon Curd, which offer both generous portions and playful textures that dance on the tongue. The Chilaquiles also provide a unique brunch option — tortilla chips cooked with eggs, chorizo, and salsa verde crowned with queso fresco and avocado — though some diners have noted variability in its execution, adding a touch of authentic unpredictability to the culinary journey.

Beyond these standout dishes, Great Maple’s lineup of sandwiches and burgers caters to hearty appetites with selections like the thick-cut smoked bacon Great Maple BLT and the robust Steakhouse Burger featuring aged white cheddar and tangy aioli. The creativity extends to vegetarian options such as the vibrant Falafel Wrap, infused with kalamata olives and creamy tzatziki, ensuring there’s something for every palate.

Pairing your meal with a thoughtfully crafted beverage is part of the allure here. From the zesty Maple Bacon Old Fashioned to the refreshing Lavender Lemonade and the elegantly simple Moroccan Iced Tea, each drink complements the menu with distinctive flavors and stylish presentation.

    I had an amazing brunch at The Great Maple in Newport Beach! The ribeye hash skillet was absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked and incredibly succulent. The shrimp and avocado stack had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors that really stood out. The service was just as impressive — our waiter checked in several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting the area! Cherry on top was the great maple postcard!

    Came here for lunch on a weekday. I love a place with an outdoor patio, nice and shady, facing the water fountain too. The service was very good (slightly elevated dining) which you would expect at a restaurant at Fashion Island. I ordered the Lemon Shrimp Pasta it was good, but not something I would order again. My husband ordered the Traditional Biscuit Benedict and he said also wouldn't order it again but it was well made. We both loved the doughnuts but 3 was WAY too much! Maybe there is an option to order just one, but I didn't see it on the menu. It is very very sweet, and also very very delicious. We have our extra 2 to the valet and will be passing it forward in these situations again because it really made their day!

    This is a second trip to great maple. First one was in San Diego and I remember it being so so much better. Beignets were solid French toast was good huge portion Pancakes…a friend said they were tasty. Some of them had blueberries but others did not so that was weird Chicken and waffle. Kinda like chicken tenders on a waffle. My friend said they were tasty. Chilaquiles this is where it feel apart. This was not only terrible for chilaquiles but maybe one of the worst dishes I have ever paid for. Now I remember them in San Diego as being yummy here wow fry tasteless bowl of soggy chips. Even the chorizo was tasteless. I don’t know what happened but it was like eating cardboard. If it was the only thing we had it would have been a 1 star rating.

    Came here hoping for a late breakfast, and fortunately they offer a few brunch items, even on a Tuesday! The Ribeye Hash was absolutely amazing and filling-everything i love in a hearty breakfast bowl. I have been here a couple times for dinner and its great! Service is top notch, and atmosphere is good .

    Pretty nice spot. Ambience was chill. Nicely decorated with a variety of areas to sit; bar, patio etc. Food was very good albeit pricy. We had great service. I will particularly recommend the Stone Larger which I had with the hamburger and fries, very nice combination.

    Good food, but overrated. Ambience is OK. Patio seating is great on a day with great weather. Inside is very noisy. Service was great. Our server was fantastic. Eggs Benedict was so so the egg was still wet when I got it so it was a mixture of water and yolk. The flavor was great. The potatoes were a little too greasy. My wife got a salad and loved it. My daughter got the fried chicken sandwich and thought it was terrific. Eggs Benedict should definitely have more sauce on it than I got. I didn’t bother to ask for more because by the time it came, everything would be cold. They need to work on their portions.
