Mayor’s Table Unveils Mid-Summer Menu of Tableside Offerings

08.15.24

Mayor's Table, the signature restaurant of Lido House Hotel in Newport Beach, has introduced a new summer dinner menu featuring experiential and tableside offerings. This update represents the most significant menu change since the restaurant's launch in 2018.

The revamped menu, crafted by Chef-Partner Riley Huddleston, Executive Chef Jonathan de la Cruz, and Chef de Cuisine Nicholas Escobar, showcases a bold take on reimagined American cuisine with a focus on responsibly sourced produce from local fishermen and farmers.

The menu includes innovative shareable starters such as an elegant OC Onion Dip served with housemade pillow bread, and Petrossian Caviar Service featuring sherry-roasted banana puree topped with Petrossian caviar and banana blini on the side.

Tableside offerings include the impressive Charcoal-Grilled Tomahawk, a 48-ounce cut carved tableside and accompanied by the restaurant’s signature 72-hour steak sauce, and the aromatic Lido Chowder, with bacon broth siphoned over grilled seafood. Classic favorites like the Award-Winning Burger, featuring a half-pound wagyu patty, continue to delight. This burger has recently earned several ‘Best Burger’ awards from Riviera Magazine, the Orange County Register, Orange County Business Journal, and Visit Newport Beach.

The experiential aspect extends to the bar, where the Daily Ritual—a towering and aromatic batched cocktail—is prepared each day at 5 p.m. Group offerings include Lift the Mood, featuring four espresso martinis poured tableside from a smoke-filled vessel, and a Périgord truffle-infused Gold Fashioned with George Dickel x Leopold Bros. three-chamber rye and housemade bitters.

The "Dine Like a Mayor" prix-fixe menu offers a curated selection of starters, entrees, and desserts chosen daily by Huddleston. Mayor's Table is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and also offers brunch on weekends. The restaurant features patios, a cozy fireplace lounge, a lively central bar area, and a 14-seat private dining Captain's Table.

3300 Newport Blvd., in Newport Beach.
