What Defines a Modern Steakhouse in Newport Beach
Redefining the Classic Steakhouse Experience
At SET Steak & Sushi, we’ve reimagined what a steakhouse in Newport Beach can be. While we respect timeless traditions—prime cuts, refined technique, and impeccable service—we’ve traded the dark wood and heavy vibe for something brighter, fresher, and distinctly coastal.
This is steakhouse dining, Newport style: modern energy, ocean breeze, and a menu that balances indulgence with innovation. Whether you’re here for a signature steak, inventive sushi, or our weekend brunch in Newport Beach, every detail is designed to feel elevated yet effortless.
The Foundation—Premium Cuts and Precision
A modern steakhouse begins with sourcing. At SET, we partner with world-renowned producers known for quality and care:
Creekstone Farms (Kansas) – Hormone-free, perfectly marbled, and always consistent.
Snake River Farms (Idaho) – American Wagyu with unmatched richness and texture.
Black Opal (Australia) – World-class Wagyu, featured in our 40oz Tomahawk.
Mayura Station (Australia) – Home to the coveted “Chocolate” Wagyu New York Strip, full-blooded and cacao-fed.
Each cut is flame-grilled to order, finished simply, and served at its peak. The result: steak that’s flavorful, tender, and unmistakably SET.
Beyond the Steak—Sushi and Surf Meet Turf
What sets SET apart from any other steakhouse in Newport Beach is that we don’t stop at steak. Our culinary team has built one of the most talked-about sushi programs in Newport Beach, offering crudo, rolls, and sashimi that rival the city’s best sushi bars.
Standout favorites include:
Kampachi Crudo – Serrano, spicy yuzu, and white ponzu.
B.Y.O. Negi-Toro Hand Rolls – Bluefin tuna toro, caviar, and wasabi soy.
Hot Night Roll – Bluefin tuna, spicy crab, and tempura crunch.
It’s a menu built for discovery, designed for those who want it all—steak, sushi, and the unexpected.
The Modern Steakhouse Ambiance
A modern Newport Beach steakhouse should feel more like a dinner party than a formality. That’s why our dining room and garden patio are built around connection—where conversation flows, music hums, and the lighting always hits just right.
Under the glow of string lights, our patio has become one of the most sought-after dinner settings in the city. It’s where the beachside ease of Newport meets the sophistication of fine dining.
Brunch, But Make It SET
Even the best steakhouse in Newport Beach shouldn’t limit itself to dinner. On weekends, our brunch in Newport Beach draws in regulars and visitors alike for indulgent dishes like:
Crab Cake & Caviar Benedict
Steak & Eggs with Chimichurri
Yuzu Ricotta Pancakes
Add bottomless mimosas or espresso martini trees, and you’ll understand why brunch at SET has become a weekend ritual.
