We've been here before and stayed at the property but the service was/is and continues to be so below average. With so much competition in this space together with your position in a major hotel, sorry you can't afford to be average. Last
Excellent experience
I had the pleasure of celebrating my 21st birthday at the New Port Pendry. We had dinner at SET, the service was top tier as well as the food and beverages. Kiara was our server and was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items and came a

Came here with a 8:30pm Sunday reservation, sat indoors.
This was my birthday dinner and I brought a party of 6 with me. I had requested to be sat outdoors but they were not able to accommodate this request which was okay. When I walked in the restaurant was surprisingly empty for a Sunday night. There was

When you pay top dollar for a meal you'd expect the whole experience to be better. Perhaps if you have a bigger party. If you're a party of 2, expect to be so close to the next table that you have absolutely no privacy and very little elbow

First of all, great place for any celebration or special occasion. It is located on the first floor of the Pendry Hotel (very boujee) and is valet parking only. To save money we parked at the paid structure across from the hotel or you can walk from

I finally came here for a full on dinner and it is really amazing. You have to get the sushi set. It's worth the price of admission! Each piece is better than the next, I love the bluefin tuna. Our waitress is very attentive. We had some rosé c
Used to be one of my favorite places to visit.
I always sat at the bar with Cassidy! She's awesome... always provided top tier service! Food, drinks, ambiance and service all consistently on point. The only thing killing the vibe is the ridiculously long line even for ppl who have been re
Service is always excellent.
They are always checking to see if you need water or food. The patio was so nice. Extra blankets and heaters made it a perfect night.
Set Steak and Sushi should just be Set Sushi.
Steak is not done well and tastes bland, but the sushi is incredible. There is an art form with sushi and Set nailed it. Ambiance is very nice and gives an elegant outdoor feel, service is nothing special and is on the slower end, especially for high

We had a great dinner celebrating my daughters 21st birthday. The place is beautiful and it was great outside on the patio. The food was delicious and everything came out quickly. Our server was so attentive and we would come back again.
Beautiful restaurant.
Vibes were good and the food was even better! A great date night spot.
Great atmosphere! Wagyu steak was melt in your mouth
Great atmosphere! Wagyu steak was melt in your mouth tender. Lots of fusion dishes to inspire the senses. Always packed so don't expect the service to be quick, take your time chatting up your date and don't be in a rush to get anywhere.

What a great night! Altan was our server and from start to finish was an absolute pleasure and we are looking forward to coming back over and over again!!!
Where to begin .
. The hotel is gorgeous and the music was a vibe. The service was horrible. We sat at the bar as we waited to be called for our table after checking in and were ignored by a few bartenders for a while until one sweet lady asked us if we've been

12 oz Wagyu Black Opal Ribeye 100/10- I got this and split it with my mom, so this is what the 6 oz portion looks like when split, and it was genuinely one of the best steaks I've ever had! This wagyu is from Black Opal, Australia and you could
Brunch review** I wish I could leave 6 stars.
.. From the moment we arrived the service staff was attentive, hospitable and most importantly warm. Sometimes these ritzy places can feel really sterile and impersonal. Our server, Lindsey, was out of this world. Had an answer for all of our questi

Loved the vibe and energy
Really liked it. We both had salads and appetizers. All were great. The service was good. What we loved was the trendy and youthful vibe. They have a DJ that helps add to the ambiance. There was definitely a lot of energy with the patrons and s
Eh
This place has a lovely atmosphere especially on the porch. However, the service is spotty. The food was good. I had the halibut and it was excellent, and I had the lobster tempura, and it was a show stopping presentation and also very tasty. However
Hotel steakhouse
Steakhouse and sushi spot located inside the Pendry Hotel. Had a private room for a work dinner and we had a set menu that was served family-style. Our servers were on top of it and the ambiance was nice. The restaurant seemed pretty popular as there

30 dollars for an espresso martini ? Both NY nor Beverly Hills does Not charge that high . This is aggressive! We checked with the main lobby bar to compare prices and they said their expresso martini is 25. We never asked for kettle one. We live
Took my mom to SET for her birthday and she loves it.
The highlight was definitely the food. The miso salmon was delicious and it wasn't too much. The steak was a bit rare but the seasoning was fantastic. The cherry on top was the carrot cake; it wasn't super sweet but it's very creamy. Highly recommend
Situated in the chic Pendry Hotel in Fashion Island.
Food falls short of the price standard and service feels aloof and slow. Grilled Broccolini Marvelously plain with a pat of butter - not too impressed with a passable dish. Too much on the dry side. 18oz bone-in New York Steak Very well prepare
The 3 star rating is vastly based on the price.
The famous aphorism of "you get what you pay for" most certainly doesn't apply here. I would consider for each 15% decrease in price = one additional star. But for those with extra $ to burn, you will get: -Pleasant decor and outdoor seatin
Food was delicious and great service definitely recommend.
... Steak was nice and tender

Best steak of my life! Got it very rare, like I asked and I couldn't have been happier -- seriously! Waitress was the best too!
We visited this restaurant for a double date with friends
We visited this restaurant for a double date with friends on a bustling Saturday evening. Our reservations were for 7pm, and upon arrival, we found the place quite lively. Opting for outdoor seating by the heater, we found it perfect for a cozy date

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to SET Steak & Sushi Newport Beach at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the SET Steak & Sushi Newport Beach page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at SET Steak & Sushi Newport Beach to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at SET Steak & Sushi Newport Beach!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
