CasaDamí

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ A dreamy European-style spot in Newport Beach serving exceptional food!!!! Casa Damí completely exceeded our expectations during our tapas date night! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt like stepping into a slice of Europe — ocean breeze, harbor views with yachts gently docked, and even the cutest classic Fiat Jolly parked outside setting the scene. La dolce vita in full effect. 😍 We enjoyed some of the best tapas and cocktails we’ve had in a long time. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the wine selection is next-level.

After spending the day on Catalina Island my husband and I did a quick search for dinner and Casa Damí popped up. The menu caught our attention because we both love Spanish food. We figured it was a Spanish restaurant (it is not). We arrived with no reservation and no expectations. We we're fortunate to be given a spot at the bar , but before we were sat down they found out we were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary. They pulled out Champagne glasses and served us some sparkling rosé (ferrari, really good). At first I was hoping a table would open up, but I'm so glad we ended up having our dinner at the bar because every single employee went above and beyond to create a great experience. We felt very well taken care of. Besides the amazing service and welcoming atmosphere (also grea

Phenomenal flavors all around—perfectly cooked steak and absolutely amazing scallops. The affogato was also quite good. Service was excellent and very attentive; the only downside is that it can be a bit on the pricey side.
