Dock and Dine Options Aplenty in Newport Harbor
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Some harborside restaurants are offering innovative dining options to stay afloat during the pandemic, and the approach appears to be working.
In Newport Beach, restaurants with dock space navigated the pandemic closures in part by offering dockside options. Now, they are seeing a payoff when it comes to accommodating customers arriving by way of Newport’s waterways.
While docking at local watering holes has long been a tradition in Newport Harbor, restaurateurs said they are planning to continue, and even expand, their dockside offerings.
This includes pre-ordering meals online for pickup at the dock, complimentary dock space for those who wish to travel by boat and dine indoors or on patios, or who want to park and stay in the comfort of their boat while servers deliver drinks and food. Think of dock-and-dine as a twist on the old drive-in diner concept.
