 Once a dining institution in Newport Beach, The Ritz now caters to a crowd who comes for the lively bar atmosphere, entertainment and continental-style menu. Appetizers are mostly seafood specialties and range from a Russian-style caviar service to lump Maryland crab cakes, lobster cocktails and Norwegian smoked salmon. The signature egg comes with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs stuffed into an egg shell and topped with caviar, as well as a shot of vodka. However, the best appetizer may be the escargots en croûte. Mains all seem rather outdated, so go for classics like roast duck, calf’s liver, steak Diane, rack of lamb, and prime rib. And be sure to save room for the raspberry crème brulée. Singer and pianist Jimmy Hopper croons soft ballads and easy pop favorites on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The Ritz Bar also offers its signature beef and grilled onion sliders (free during happy hour from 4 p.m.-7 p.m.).
