Restaurant Week 2015
MAR 1 TO MAR 7
Message from the OCRA President It started with a simple idea to unite the culinary leaders in our vast community and, at the same time, give Orange County diners a reason to stay out of the kitchen for an entire week! Now, it’s hard to believe that we are in our seventh year of OC Restaurant Week, and it just keeps getting better and better.
This year, we are joined by many new restaurants, alongside many of the region’s most respected longtime institutions. This is a week to explore and indulge on a variety of special three-course menus, many with a cocktail or signature item! Each restaurant has the freedom and flexibility to showcase its best offerings by talented chefs who have personalized their menus to reflect their individual culinary style. With more than 100 restaurants and price points ranging from $10 to $50, it’s fitting that we refer to it as seventh heaven! With gratitude,
Pam Waitt President, OC Restaurant Assocation
Message from the Publisher On behalf of Orange Coast magazine, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Orange County Restaurant Week. For 40 years, Orange Coast has been chronicled life in Orange County, and cuisine has always been a key focus for the magazine. Thus, we are proud to continue our partnership with the O.C. Restaurant Association to publish the Official Guide to Restaurant Week. Here, you will find a full breakdown of the events and Restaurant Week participants, along with messages from some leading restaurants that are part of the festivities. I hope that you are hungry because this is your opportunity to experience extraordinary cuisine and value at more than 120 participating restaurants. In each case, the chefs have created multi-course menus at fixed rates from $10 to $50 – I encourage you to be adventurous and sample the great variety of cuisines and restaurants that make Orange County a dining mecca. So, get out of the kitchen for the week, and leave the cooking to the pros! Bon appetit.
Christopher O. Schulz Publisher and President
