My FF's coworker just went to the one in LA and he really enjoyed it. The last few times I was in Vegas, it just didn't work out in the plans. I've been wanting to see it for some time, so it's really a GREAT bday present! FYI, it's not in LA nor OC for very long.Date: 10/27/2007 2:56:14 PM

mmmmmmmmm...Morton's It's right by South Coast Plaza. Have a great time. Maybe I'll try and talk DH into going to see it, too.

Oh! I just saw the replies today lol... thanks!
I think my FF found something (not sure where), but I''ll give him the links- he find he prefers one of these places.
I wasn''t really sure what type of food... that was pretty open, I just don''t much care for seafood. I''ll eat it, but then when I start thinking lobster and shrimp are basically sea cockroaches, I lose my appetite lol.
I would usually say YES to shopping... except for this time!... We are going to dinner and then Cirque du Soleil for my bday AND I get my diamond

Thanks for the other suggestions- I will have to check them out now (I really want to get the reservations made!) We will be traveling down the 57/5 to the OC Fair, so I was looking at Irvine, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. I think he would be about as crazy for the Persian as I would be for Benihana- not much! *insert BLEH smilie here* lol.Date: 11/6/2007 1:29:41 AM

Il Farro is a great restaurant in Newport Beach. It''s Italian, cozy. The food is really really good and not that expensive. They have a website. Look for Il Farro in Newport Beach. Google it. For fine dining: Morton''s in Costa Mesa, Ruth''s Chris in Irvine, 21 Oceanfront in Newport Beach (this was always a favorite of mine). Newport Beach covers a lot of ground area (it includes Newport Coast) and if you don''t want to be late, Newport Beach, Irvine and Costa Mesa are good bets. Newport Coast is a little far, so if it says ''Fashion Island'' area, it might be a little far. If you like Persian food, Caspian in Irvine is good. Or Darya at South Coast. Or Ferdussi taste of Persia. The latter two are in Costa Mesa (I prefer Caspian personally). Hmmm. . . I think that 21 Oceanfront is always a good bet and is in close proximity. Pretty typical American fine dining, but a great atmosphere (ask to be seated on the opposite side from the bar), sunset view if you were to go early enough. Great wine list. Good dessert. Il Farro is great. More cozy/casual but still really nice and the food can''t be beat if you are looking for good Italian. Not just run of the mill stuff. I had a great protabello mushroom ravioli with a saffron and pistachio sauce last week. What area are you staying in? Maybe I can think of something closer
~Cheers!
