Wilma's Patio Restaurant

Wilma’s is a great, family friendly spot. The servers are fast and get food out quickly, which is important is you have a little one! The meatloaf sandwich was a hit and my sourdough cheeseburger was amazing. When you get an order of fries, they’re shaped like potato chips. I loved them! There are a couple of dining areas and a great bar area as well. We were there for lunch. I’d like to go back!

We came in for lunch. Every time we have dined here it has always been fun. Great service, the food is always delicious and people are friendly. We shared a quesadilla which is more like a pizza or lasagna type dish. The prepare two tortillas with cheese, lettuce chicken in the middle with sides of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. One will feed two people!

When we arrived for our stay in Newport Beach, we were ready to explore! We followed Marine Avenue right into Balboa Island. This main street of the island is filled with cute boutiques, gift shops and restaurants. We decided on the unassuming Wilma’s Patio after seeing their posted menu offered a wide variety of items, from sandwiches to Mexican. I decided on the Reuben sandwich, always my go-to when I see it on the menu, and it did not disappoint. My husband chose the burger on sourdough, which was a plateful! We sat on the small heated patio in front of the restaurant, and with the good service and vibe of Marine Avenue, it was a relaxing evening after a day of traveling.
