MEMBERS ONLY
A modern-day supper club , THEHOUSE NEWPORT BEACH , opened earlier this year as a members-only dining opportunity in the former space of Mama ’ s Comfort Food & Cocktails on West Coast Highway . Owners Sara and Keith Jarrett sought to create a unique dining model based upon membership dues instead of markup pricing on the food . Membership fees cover valet service for cars and boats , with access to 250 feet of unshared dock space , plus all tipping and service charges . Everything at thehouse is “ cost plus 10 ,”
The House Newport Beach is for members only . meaning a guest will pay only 10 % more than the club ’ s cost of purchasing ingredients . The menu of classic dishes with unique flair — think Australian wagyu rib-eye , caviar and black truffle tartare , short rib eggs Benedict , and flatbread with beetinfused salmon , creme fraiche and caviar — was developed by a group of culinary experts led by Anderson Clark and Brian Douglass , the owners of Common Stock in San Diego and founding partners of CS Hospitality , who also managed Hillstone Restaurant Group locations in several big cities . To become a member of thehouse , referral by a current member and approval by the owners is required . Members also have access to the Distinguished Clubs Network , which facilitates visits to exclusive clubs and other venues from yacht clubs to golf courses around the world .
