Greg Daniels & Ryan Adams Switch Things Up – Laguna Beach and Orange
It was revealed on Wednesday that Chef Greg Daniels (formerly of Old Town Orange’s Haven Gastropub/Provisions Market) would be opening a new establishment named Harley, after his grandfather. The location: the restaurant space that is Three Seventy Common in Laguna. What we mean by switch up is how Chef Ryan Adams of soon-to-be-formerly Three Seventy Common recently moved into the OTO neighborhood with Buttermilk, the newest concept based on his popular monthly special. By the way, Buttermilk just began serving lunch Tuesday through Sunday starting at 11:30 a.m.
Per Daniels, “When you come into Harley, I want you to feel like I did when I went to my grandfather’s house: always welcome. The food was always good, and I left with a feeling of warmth in my heart.” Landon Pulizzi (formerly of Haven) will be Chef de Cuisine, and Andrew Merritt (previously with Absinthe Brasserie & Bar in SF) will be General Manager. Pretty damn exciting, Greg. Loyal customers of Three Seventy Common still have time to drop in for a final meal, but we wouldn’t wait very long. Harley is currently quoting an October opening. 370 Glenneyre St., (949) 494-8686; www.370common.com.
