Best brunch - Edit
Seabirds is consistently delicious, and the servers are always very kind.
Read moreAs others here have mentioned, the mac n cheese and purple taquitos are menu highlights.
I’m a fan of some of their daily specials, so be sure to see what the special of the day is. The weekend special is their brunch menu, which lasts until 2. Honestly I rarely go outside of brunch hours because it’s most of my favorite menu items (aside from the taquitos!); the chipotle florentine is the best!
I’m not a fan of the inside space because the acoustics make it very loud inside and hard to have a conversation, but that may be my personal taste. However the spacious patio more than makes up for it. They have big umbrellas for shade, and gas heaters and blankets for the rare chilly evening.
I’ve never had bad service or a subpar meal here, but be prepared for a bit of a wait depending on when you go. If it’s too long for you, place your order to go and there are spots to hang out in the antimall nearby.
Pros: All housemade ingredients , Seasonal menu and daily specials , Patio is great and dog friendly
Cons: The inside is a bit loud and small, Sometimes a long wait time to be seated.

My favorite restaurant - Edit
Every menu item here is delicious. Their avocado tacos are the best. I take my meat eating, vegetarian, and vegan family and friends to Seabirds, and I have never had a complaint.

Food good but they needlessly make you wait - Edit
The food is good for sure. It was not the best vegan burger I have had but without a doubt in the top 20% Fries were really good. Once you get seated service is good. The problem was getting seated.
Read moreIt was less than half full but they still told us we needed to wait 5 mins, then sat us at table 2 steps away from where we were standing. I then noticed them doing the same to two tables that came after us. It is like they wanted to make sure they always have a small line so people outside can notice. I am happy to wait when needed but this felt like it was done on purpose so ruined the impression of this place. Food is still good.

One of my faves - Edit
I love the food here and I come back when I’m in town for work. The purple taquitos are amazing. I also love the cauliflower salad and their bowls. Many of their foods are spicy which I love but you may want to check if you’re sensitive to spicy foods.

Vegan munchies at the Lab - Edit
I'm being good today and eating Vegan. I remember Seagulls when they were on The Great Food Truck Race. Back then you would never catch me eating anything Vegan. I was a fan of The Lime Truck. Times have changed and Vegan food has gotten pretty good.
Read moreI went with the mushroom taco and Mac and cheese. I dined on the outside patio. I really enjoyed the taco. Mushrooms are a favorite of mine. Thcce big hit was the Mac and cheese. This is some of the best I've ever eaten. Bring the whole pot and I'll eat it. Service is really good and it was so relaxing on the patio.

Not just tacos - Edit
I used to get the avo or jackfruit tacos from the truck many years ago, so when I was near either of the 2 locations I would stop in for tacos. Last time I got the patty melt special on a whim and it was sooo good. This time I also came in for tacos but got the stuffed shells on a whim. Also so good! Now I’m just gonna try everything.
Read morePros: 100% Vegan, Everything is good, Nice vibe
Cons: Cookies cost too much.

Fried Avocado Tacos - Edit
If you’re getting the waffles, you’ll be saving some for later or splitting it with a friend. They give a HUGE portion. I’d recommend the fried avo tacos — I haven’t been back in a while and still wish somewhere near me had those!

Veggie delight - Edit
I’ve had several meals from several visits and seabirds continues to hold up among the multitude of vegan meals I’ve had since then. Their menu offerings are filled with flavor, creativity and especially with their renowned “The Chaffle” dessert. That is one dessert you will not want to pass up on!

Tasty - Edit
Food is really yummy. It's a bit junky, but nonvegan friends/family approved.
Read moreI like the Beets Me Burger and Locals Bowl. The Brussel sprouts are yummy too, but a bit oily.
Overall, delicious and good atmosphere. Could use more healthier options.
Pros: Delicious, Nice vibe, All vegan
Cons: More healthier options please, Parking

Innovative Vegan Food (International quality) - Edit
We have visited Newport 3 times now (over a 2 year period) and every time we go we just must visit Seabird Kitchen to sample there latest creations. There is usually something new and scrumptious on the menu.
Read moreWe feel Seabirds (an upscale cafe/diner) is one of the best vegan eatery in the Newport area.
We travel for work and have visited many of the internationally renowned vegan restaurants (Ireland, Spain, Australia, Crossroads(LA), Baia (SF), etc.) we must say that the food from Seabirds satisfies at the same level. Too bad Seabird doesn’t sell a cookbook, we would buy it.
They are located at the LAB which purports to be an experimental arts community. Great ambience and great visuals.
Pros: Updated classical dishes with their special touch, Interesting artsy ambience at the LAB, Fair amount of outdoor seating
Cons: Not a lot of indoor seating , Good weather needed for outdoor seating

Too fatty - Edit
Most of their dishes are too oily. Made to appeal to non vegans, not so much truly health conscious eaters

WOW!! - Edit
There are some great vegan restaurants in Southern California. My first visit with 2 out of 3 items were exceptional. I was so pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Kale Cesar salad, the Purple Taquitos, and the famous Chaffee. The Kale Cesar salad was too salty to my taste but the Purple Taquitos and Caffle were perfectly made and just WOW!! I couldn’t stop talk about them to friends and can’t wait to revisit Seabirds Kitchens soon.

WOW! - Edit
In town for a day and found this amazing spot. The outdoor dining is like having a picnic and the food was incredible. We came for brunch, I had the Porque Maria, like a croquet madame, and it was heaven richness. My son had the brunch tacos with a waffle on the side topped with almond butter and bananas. The walnut chorizo in the tacos was spectacular! My husband had the chipotle Florentine, which was a mouthwatering vegan eggs Benedict. Everything was so good. And coming from Texas with limited vegan options, California and Seabirds Kitchen Rick!
