It’s an extraordinary spring at South Coast Plaza. We have begun the celebration of our 50th anniversary, and throughout the year the milestone will be marked with a multitude of events, exhibits and unique collaborations. Many luxury boutiques have created limited edition anniversary merchandise, and restaurants have crafted commemorative dishes and menus as well. As a tribute to our 50 years, we’ve gathered 50 favorite dishes, drinks and treats found at South Coast Plaza and featured here on page 8. In late spring, we’ll welcome the first U.S. location outside of Manhattan of Barilla Restaurant, a fast-casual concept by Italy’s famed family of pasta makers. Also joining our dining mix is the wildly popular Tokyo-based Tsujita Artisan Noodle. In retail Dior Homme and Stella McCartney, Orange County exclusives, have debuted and we will have the only West Coast locations for high-end footwear brands Gianvito Rossi and Aquazzura. After a major remodel, Gucci has opened a stunning new boutique. On behalf of South Coast Plaza, I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to our shoppers and diners for the decades of support that has made South Coast Plaza the premier shopping destination in the United States.

WATER GRILL GR ACES SOUTH COAST PL A Z A W ITH OCE ANIC BOUNT Y by Joshua Lurie
cooked; delicate Alaskan king crab “nuggets” pulled easily from cracked shells for dipping in spicy saffron aioli. On to the dining room, where warm house-baked sourdough rolls and pull-apart Asiago cheese bread are served. The creative three-crudo sampler arrives on slate, dramatically plated with a palate-teasing array of flavors and textures. Our favorite was the rosy Faroe Islands Atlantic salmon buoyed with sweet fig jam and tangy sour cream. A walkway lined with stones and succulents stretches to a quirky seahorse holding a food tray. The logo marks diners’ arrival at the grandest Water Grill from family-run King’s Seafood Company. The 17,500-square-foot South Coast Plaza restaurant builds on the success of the original L.A. location. The spacious, resort-like bar and lounge provide a start with fun vantage points—two nautically themed wood bars, fire pits and colorful cushioned seating. Stylish twentysomethings pack the bar and there are business and pre-theater guests dining in the restaurant on a weeknight. The creative cocktails take inspiration from fresh produce on display—fragrant herbs, berries and citrus. The El Niño satisfies with a surprise punch: silver tequila, lime juice and sweet notes from agave syrup and passion fruit are finished with a smoky mezcal mist. Next stop was the black, square raw bar, which sports sea blue tiles resembling fish scales. Dangling strings of oyster shells are fashioned into a decorative lighting element. A signature starter is the iced shellfish platter and King’s local seafood distribution ensures super-fresh and unique offerings. I sampled three pristine types of oysters from 18 varietals. A showstopper was the Peruvian bay scallops with vivid purple shells, dressed with citrus pesto. Wild jumbo brown shrimp from Mexico were flavorful and perfectly 4 southcoastplaza.com
Water Grill serves steaks, but why not stay fin-focused? The handwritten “whole fish” section offers Brittany Dover sole. The flaky white fish classic from northwest France is basted with brown butter, deboned, and brightened with lemon and parsley. More than eight sides, served familystyle, may be ordered to complement the entrées. The affable server made a convincing argument for dessert. The warm almond cake was buttery, studded with red wine-poached apples and topped with housemade sweet-tart apple cider ice cream. Water Grill is the buzzy scene with serious culinary chops not to be missed.

FINE DINING ANQI BY HOUSE OF AN Pan Roasted Maine Lobster Red shells with sweet bites of crustacean meat pair perfectly with Mama Helene An’s famous garlic noodles for a signature example of the Ans’ talent for coaxing intricate flavors from both luxurious and humble ingredients.
DIN TAI FUNG Xiaolongbao A worldwide culinary dynasty is built on these juicy soup dumplings, filled with savory pork and rich broth, intricately pleated and carefully steamed in bamboo baskets that are delivered by the stack to ardent fans.
ANTONELLO RISTORANTE Mama Pina Ravioli These piccolo housemade raviolis are a tribute to family tradition. Made in-house using the most delicate of pasta, the rich short rib filling sets off the authentic Bolognese sauce that gets better with a fresh grating of nutty Parmigiana.
HAMAMORI RESTAURANT-SUSHI BAR Piggyback Only sushi wizard James Hamamori could finesse a way to crown luxury with more luxury and keep flavors in balance, allowing pristine pink toro to shine through its topper of tawny, velvety uni, rich with umami.
THE CAPITAL GRILLE Bone-In Kona Crusted Dry Aged NY Strip It begins with an outsized bone-in Prime New York. The flavor is dramatically intensified by dry aging the hand-cut steak in-house. A coffee rub lends complexity and then the masterpiece of meat is broiled and napped with shallot butter.
LEATHERBY’S CAFE ROUGE Orange Pepper Seared Hamachi The pre-theater starter at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall restaurant marries popular avocado toast with a decidedly Asian topping of orange pepper seared hamachi, pickled Fresno chiles and white soy-yuzu pearls for a symphony of flavors.
DARYA FINE PERSIAN CUISINE Fesenjon Many steps precede hours of simmering walnuts, pomegranate and chicken for a royal Persian stew renowned for layers of earthy, sweet and tangy flavors complemented by a mountain of fluffy basmati rice. 8 southcoastplaza.com
MEZZET MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE Lamb Tagine Named for the conical vessel used to braise the famed dish, falling-off-the bone lamb arrives perfumed with Middle Eastern spices and cumin-spiked carrots, earthy chickpeas and blistered grapes—a luscious mélange served with fine-grained couscous.

CASUAL DINING MORTON’S THE STEAKHOUSE Filet Mignon The center-cut famed bastion of beef is tall—the 12-ounce version akin to a baseball cut. It’s also the highest grade of coveted USDA Prime tenderloin, unbelievably tender and with a picture-perfect char; a nap of garlic-pepper-herb jus adds to the juiciness.
ANQI NOODLE BAR Chicken Pho Organic chicken, charred aromatics and mindful simmering build a complex broth; dive deep for bites of delicate white chicken, translucent rice noodles and you-decide garnishes like fresh sweet basil, crunchy bean sprouts and hoisin-Sriracha.
PIZZERIA ORTICA D.O.P. Margherita Pizza The D.O.P. designation assures all ingredients are from Italy, as is the high-heat pizza oven fueled with almond wood that creates a crispy thin crust with hints of char. Toppers of San Marzano tomatoes, creamy imported buffalo mozzarella and sweet basil make for a perfect authentic pizza.
BOUDIN | SF New England-Style Clam Chowder The best seller, served in a freshly baked sourdough bread bowl, was made popular at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. It’s filled with clams and potatoes, a whisper of pepper and sprinkling of parsley.
QUATTRO CAFFÉ Seafood Pasta Giant prawns in their shells bookend a tangle of al dente spaghetti tossed with refined marinara sauce that flatters tender mussels, sweet calamari and fresh seasonal fin fish in the timeless dish with a loyal following. ROYAL KHYBER INDIAN CUISINE Khyber’s Nectar Lamb shank slow-simmered for 14 hours in a secret recipe with exotic spices makes the aristocratic dish an enduring favorite for indulgent feasting. Ultra tender and rumored to be an aphrodisiac. NORDSTROM’S RUSCELLO Cilantro-Lime Chicken Salad Shoppers taking a break at the stylish second-floor dining room frequently order this best seller, with bright flavors of grilled corn, grape tomatoes, crunchy pumpkin seeds and creamy avocado atop grilled chicken and farmers market greens. SEASONS 52 Mini Indulgences The signature desserts are each a marvel of maxi indulgence amid caloric economy. Standouts are the mocha macchiato with caramel sauce and key lime pie with toasted meringue. Exclusively for South Coast Plaza’s 50th anniversary is a Greek yogurt vanilla mousse-orange marmalade mini. VACA Paella de Mariscos Neptune himself can’t craft a more authentic seafood paella than top chef Amar Santana who loads his saffron-rich bomba rice with plump lobster, shrimp, clams, octopus and mussels. WATER GRILL Iced Shellfish Platter A cornucopia of pedigreed oysters, bay scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp, periwinkles and lobster on ice is a popular starter. The head-turning platters come in three sizes, with the grander versions including marine delicacies such as king crab and a whole sea urchin.

CHAMPAGNE FRENCH BAKERY CAFE Croque Monsieur No ordinary grilled ham and cheese sandwich, the French classic consists of crusty, cheese-coated pain de mie filled with melting, béchamel-rich Swiss cheese and Black Forest ham. CLAIM JUMPER BBQ Baby Back Pork Ribs Popular for almost 40 years, the rack or half-rack of tender meat is basted with savory tangy mesquite sauce then flamebroiled until it falls off the bones. LAWRY’S CARVERY Prime Rib Original Known for its prime rib for nearly 80 years, Lawry’s signature sandwich showcases hand-carved beef to your desired doneness served on artisanal freshly baked ciabatta, with creamy horseradish and port-wine jus for dipping. PACIFIC WHEY CAFÉ School Boy Breakfast A hearty tribute to the American breakfast that includes two eggs your way with crusty buttered toast, breakfast taters, and choice of savory ham, bacon or sausage. There’s more—add two feather-light silver dollar pancakes and fresh fruit. Served all day. RUBY’S DINER The Cobb Burger Ruby’s memories are based on burgers and the premium versions are among the best. Each features a half pound of natural USDA Choice beef served atop a toasty bun. The Cobb adds thick-cut bacon, blue cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato and a sun-dried tomato mayo. VIE DE FRANCE BAKERY/CAFE French Onion Soup A comfort food classic that’s rich with slowly sautéed caramelized onions, savory beef stock and a blanket of melted Swiss cheese that hides softened French bread croutons.

WAHOO’S FISH TACO Fish Tacos If you order the two-taco entrée, consider the best of two eras with the 1988 original and the citrus slaw taco, a contemporary classic, both made mild or spicy with wild-caught fish.
NÉKTER JUICE BAR The Greenie A freshly juiced medley of raw parsley, spinach and kale blends with sweet and tart notes from apple juice and a squeeze of lemon to create a signature drink loaded with nutritious veggies.
ZCAFÉ Tuscan Pizza Known for its crisp and airy crust, generous array of crimini and shiitake mushrooms, sweet caramelized onions, fresh thyme and a whisper of truffle oil, this handcrafted lightly cheesed pizza can only be described with one word: luxurious.
PACIFIC WHEY CAFÉ Crème Brûlée Bread Pudding A tribute to two favorites that is simultaneously dense, moist and rich with hints of caramel. A rustic crumble topping and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips provide a pleasing crunch.
QUICK BITES & SPECIALTY FOODS ANTONELLO ESPRESSO CAFÉ Apple Crisp The simplicity of this favorite highlights sweet-tart sliced green apple that becomes meltingly soft in the oven, topping flaky buttery pastry and brushed with a sweet glaze. BOUDIN | SF Chocolate Chip Cookie The oversized American classic has crispy edges and a chewy middle. The perfect ratio of browned butter blends with rich, semi-sweet chocolate and a hint of vanilla. CHAMPAGNE FRENCH BAKERY CAFE Jésuite Layers of flaky, paper-thin dough are topped with an almond crust and a velvety frangipane cream filling and baked till golden. Each bite of the unique French pastry reveals a nutty, subtle sweetness. THE COFFEE BEAN & TEA LEAF Original Ice Blended Mocha The famous Ice Blended drink whirls together pellet ice, potent coffee extract, milk and mocha powder, then crowns it with whipped cream. Rich, satisfying and addictive. CORNER BAKERY CAFE Cinnamon Creme Cake A crumbly streusel topping and a dusting of powdered sugar coat the cinnamon-swirled Bundt-type cake, lovely for a tea or Sunday brunch at home. GODIVA CHOCOLATIER Soft Serve An addition to Godiva’s luxe chocolates is the popular soft serve cone. The stylish silky swirl of dark chocolate and creamy white chocolate vanilla bean twists up from a chocolate praline-crusted Belgian waffle cone. MANGIAMO GELATO CAFFE Caffe Espresso A rich Italian espresso is blended into daily-made creamy vanilla gelato available in a variety of sizes.

SEE’S CANDIES Nuts & Chews See’s Candies offers up a selection of best-selling buttery caramels and crunchy nut clusters covered in luscious milk or dark chocolate. STARBUCKS RESERVE COFFEE Clover Brewed Coffee The Clover machine freshly brews individual cups of coffee of the highest quality, allowing the depth of flavor and aroma to be fully developed, while minimizing the acidity from traditional brewing systems. The signature Café Verona dark roast is especially delicious using this method, with deep cocoa notes. SUGARFINA Champagne Bears Infused with vintage Dom Pérignon champagne, these grown-up, not-too-sweet gummy bears are a mix of classic brut and soft rosé flavors. TEAVANA Youthberry Wild Orange Blossom Tea A complex aroma releases hints of citrus and berries as the popular tea steeps. The blend of Youthberry White and Wild Orange Blossom herbal teas is sweetened with German rock sugar, complementing subtle notes of mango and red currant. VIE DE FRANCE BAKERY/CAFE Cream Puff Ethereal light pâte à choux is filled with vanilla pastry cream so rich it resembles custard. The golden crown is finished with a liberal dusting of powdered sugar. The ultimate afternoon treat with coffee or tea.
COMING SOON BARILLA RESTAURANT Lasagna Founded in 1877 in Parma, the pasta kings have created a fast-casual, quality Italian concept that includes a savory lasagna, layered with Bolognese meat sauce, marinara, béchamel and imported cheese, then baked until bubbly. TSUJITA ARTISAN NOODLE Tonkotsu Ramen The popular Tokyo-based noodle shop commands long lines of eager diners for the signature bowl of intensely rich stock served with chewy noodles, tender braised pork and a soft-boiled egg.

COCKTAILS
When South Coast Plaza opened in 1967, the cocktail scene was fashionably Tiki, mixed with classic martinis, shaken, not stirred. Fast-forward to now, where the current cocktail canvas is vibrant with options. Here’s to toasting half a century and cheers to the next 50!
ANQI BY HOUSE OF AN Pink Lotus Don’t be surprised to see a sugar-rimmed martini glass filled with a pinch of pink cotton candy next to a small cocktail shaker. After a few shakes from your server, the vodka, fresh pink grapefruit and orange juice melt the yummy spun candy. THE CAPITAL GRILLE Stoli Doli It’s only a hundred calories, but the Stoli Doli doesn’t taste skinny. Its simplicity is exquisite: Dole pineapples are marinated in Russian Stolichnaya vodka for a week, pressed and then shaken over ice. Although only fruit and booze, the drink is approachable, tropical and refreshing. LEATHERBY’S CAFE ROUGE Lavender French 75 Celebrating 50 years with bubbly seems apropos, and this World War I era cocktail named after a French field cannon gets a floral twist with a touch of lavender syrup. The perfect drink before a night of theater. MORTON’S THE STEAKHOUSE State Street Manhattan Is there another cocktail that embodies a restaurant more, starting with the three-bite New York strip steak garnish? Named after the original Morton’s location in Chicago, this take on a beloved standard has notes of coconut, cinnamon and nutmeg from the bourbon barrel, followed by orange and aged cherry.

PIZZERIA ORTICA Ammazzagrappa Sip on beverage manager Joel Caruso’s Ammazzagrappa, and you’re transported to Italy. Each ingredient is like a kiss on the cheek: bittersweet Italian liqueur (amaro), grappa (distilled wine) and orange bitters are the bolder first tastes, followed by nuances of chocolate, toffee, orange, vanilla and tiramisu, subtle on the palate. SEASONS 52 Bourbon Berry Bramble Seasons 52 has made its name on fresh seasonality, and nothing says spring like berries. This fruity bramble cocktail bursts with juicy muddled raspberries and blackberries in a couple of fingers of Maker’s Mark and St. Germain. Think of a boozy berry pie. VACA The Vaca Tonic Spain’s gin and tonic obsession gets a slushy twist at chef Amar Santana’s Vaca. Bar director Michael Rooney slow-churns Brooklyn Small Batch Gin and Fever-Tree’s Mediterranean Tonic in a frozen cocktail machine and serves it icy, topped with fragrant basil blossoms. WATER GRILL Margarita Verde Pastel green in color with a festive cucumber, basil and jalapeño-lime nose, this favorite has all the makings of a spa day at a five-star Mexican resort. The ancho chile salt rim adds a touch of smoky heat, complemented by a balance of tangy agave and citrus.

Frida Kahlo—Her Photos reveals an intimate look into the life of one of the world’s most beloved artists. For decades Kahlo collected over 6,000 photographs of loved ones as well as scenes of Mexican culture and politics. After her death in 1954, the photos were locked away. More than 50 years later the collection, curated by well-known photographer-historian Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, presents 241 of the photographs, which are the only prints made of the originals. Taken by renowned artists of the time and Kahlo herself, the exhibition shows the highs and lows of her life and presents a unique view of the tumultuous times.

Building As Ever
May 6–September 3, 2017 The thought-provoking exhibition explores the topic of architecture and the temporal precariousness of the built environment. Issues addressed include the recording of history and preservation; the concept of home and displacement; and the influence of power, economics and political systems on global construction. The works are from 30 artists from countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. Most have been created specifically for the exhibit and are on public view for the first time. southcoastplaza.com 19
