We had a few notable openings this past month, but not that much. The Winery opened #2 in Newport Beach where Villa Nova used to be. And the county welcomed its second Malaysian restaurant in Old Malaya Grill, which is decidedly not so old.
But the good news is that there weren't many closures to talk about, and of those that did shutter, barely anybody noticed.
Here's our monthly rundown.
