Fodor's Expert Review The Cannery
This 1920s cannery building still teems with fish, but now they go into dishes on the eclectic seafood menu rather than being packed into crates. Many diners arrive by boat, as there's a convenient dock at the front entrance. If you are feeling some boat envy, you can reserve the restaurant's Duffy boat for a two-hour lunch, brunch, or sunset cocktail cruise before dinner for $150 an hour with a two-hour minimum. They offer a special boat rental menu with lobster sliders, cheese plate, and sushi platter. The upstairs Jellyfish Lounge offers one of the best happy hours in Newport Beach with discounted sushi and cocktail specials daily from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.
