Manhattan Supper Club In Orange, CA

jazzman — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:15:14 +0000

Manhattan Supper Club brings visibly charming East-coast style to southern California’s abundant steakhouse community but it’s the food that “clearly stands out” from the rest of the pack, says Chef StephaneBeaucamp. His style “glides effortlessly between fusion and classics” using his über resume of experience to create as much “finesse and ease with tradition” as he does with the contemporary.

As a critically acclaimed steakhouse, Manhattan Supper Club also delivers the goods on seafood, poultry, game and all the while sourcing its product from wholesome, all-natural, organic, and local farms and ranches.

The music is a major part of what Manhattan Supper Club delivers so at dinner you might hear Hotel de Costes or Dylan and in the lounge you’ll likely hear Zeppelin or Tellier.

Villa Nova Restaurant In Newport Beach

Mike — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 00:33:28 +0000

The Villa Nova has been a Southern California dining tradition since 1933. Originally located on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip, Villa Nova’s famous clientele included Charlie Chaplin, Bing Crosby, John Wayne and Dean Martin to name a few. It was at Villa Nova that Joe DiMaggio took Marilyn Monroe on a blind date and where Vincent Minelli proposed to Judy Garland.

Villa Nova uses only the finest and freshest ingredients in their entrees. The pasta is homemade as is our signature sauces; we use only the freshest meats and seafood available and Executive Chef, Sonny Mergenthaler, oversees the preparation of all of our recipes.

The award winning wine list has over 800 offerings featuring one of the most extensive collections of California Cabernets and Italian Brunello and Super Tuscans in Southern California.

Villa Nova is one of the only venues in Orange County offering live entertainment every night beginning at 8:00 pm.
