"When a restaurant is given a name like View, it has a lot to live up to. Thankfully, the in-hotel lounge and restaurant at VEA Newport Beach absolutely fits the moniker, with views of both the nearby golf course and the Pacific Ocean on offer from its split indoor-outdoor dining areas. Another welcome sight: a menu of four different Astral margarita options, with a choice of prickly pear, pomegranate, guava, or blackberry to marry with lime, agave, and the spirit." - Robert Spuhler
