“Executive Chef Joel Gutierrez takes pride in using farm-fresh ingredients to highlight each and every element of the seasonal dishes he creates. Chef Gutierrez makes the simple complex by starting with locally sourced proteins and farm-to-table produce. Indulging in the food at Lido Bottle Works is a sensory experience from sight to bite. There’s a reason this beloved eatery made our list of the best date night restaurants in Southern California.”

“Among its best dishes are the seasonal burrata, LBW burger, and ceviche. What this place excels at it its expansive selection of beer, both on tap or in a can or bottle. Don't worry if you don't drink beer, there's also a nice selection of ciders and California wines”

“An example of a kitchen embracing change is Newport Beach’s Lido Bottle Works. While the first and second executive chefs departed for other opportunities, Joel Gutierrez has been in the kitchen since the beginning, having been mentored and trained by both his predecessors. Gutierrez remarks, "We’re taking the core principles of LBW and putting my spin on them.””
