We were made privy to a groundbreaking this week by one of the best former luxe loncheras to hit the road. Their plant-based cuisine not only grew to a Costa Mesa brick-and-mortar, but is now branching out to LA county. Once complete, you’ll be able to find Seabirds LBC at 975 E. 4th Street. Features from Citron Design Group include a patio, wood-fired oven, bar and open kitchen. With a continued focus on their core values (quality products, seasonal ingredients, wholesome food, honesty and integrity, and embracing sustainability), the team that includes Stephanie Morgan and Bill Denton is ready to rock-n-roll with location number two. Congratulations!

Barilla Restaurants believe in a Mediterranean diet, “One of the healthiest ways of eating in the world: pasta, bread, fruit and vegetables are our daily choice.” Featuring over a dozen pasta dishes, they also boast a variety of pizza, panini and salad options. Overseeing the SCP operation is Stefano Albino, who has a work history that includes both Patina Restaurant Group and Real Mex Restaurants.
