“We had talked to the Irvine Company about another smaller location but then this one became available, and it made sense,” Alex said. Why open during a pandemic, and why Eastbluff, which has a vastly different atmosphere than the Newport Pier area? The character and charm of Mutt Lynch’s will be felt, but through a “refined, family-friendly environment,” the owners say. Once opened, the restaurant and bar will offer plenty of indoor seating and a spacious patio.

The new restaurant also upgrades its beverage program with a full liquor license focusing a craft cocktail menu highlighting spirits from artisan distilleries across the United States. The spot will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner in a family-friendly atmosphere with a menu that incorporates classic Mutt Lynch’s dishes such as the Pterodactyl Wings and made-to-order pizzas while introducing family dinner specials.

Meghan Murray, daughter of restaurant founders Dan and Gail Lynch, and her husband, Alex, are getting ready to open a sister concept called Mutt’s in the Eastbluff Village Center space in Newport Beach formerly occupied by Provenance Restaurant, which closed last year. Mutt Lynch’s restaurant near the Newport Pier has been a fixture in the community for 45 years, so why have they not built on that success and taken Mutt to other areas?
