"Housed in the Lido House hotel and extensively overhauled by chef-partner Riley Huddleston, the Mayor’s Table (alongside Topside Rooftop Bar and Lounge and Crew Coffee + Cremerie) has become one of the scene-iest OC hangouts. Named for the former site of Newport’s town hall, it’s positioned for a fancy night out with starters like sea bass ceviche with yuzu and wagyu bao buns with ponzu butter, entrees such as a housemade Maine lobster pasta, and brunch spectacles including mimosas and an oversized Dutch oven pancake; Huddleston has also revamped the cocktail program after developing drinks at Grant Achatz’s Aviary." - Jenn Tanaka
