BACK BAYFRONT DINING
For years, the waterfront restaurant at the Newport Dunes Resort was a local secret that provided diners with food and a great view of boaters launching their crafts.
No more. The Back Bay Bistro, with great views and food, recently revamped on the old restaurant site at the Dunes in Newport Beach.
At the contemporary waterfront bistro, you can enjoy patio dining year round for breakfast, lunch or dinner with the help of its state of the art retractable roof.
Executive Chef Daniel Jimenez offers a menu featuring bistro appetizers, soups, salads, and entrees that include fresh seafood, USDA prime beef, and pasta selections.
Back Bay Bistro favorites include the award-winning seafood chowder, filet mignon topped with Béarnaise sauce, rib-eye steak topped with sautéed mushrooms and onions, breaded Dover sole, and a blackened salmon salad drizzled with pineapple vinaigrette.
1131 Back Bay Drive, in Newport Beach. Call or visit website for hours. 949.729.1144.
OUR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
We've made five resolutions for 2009.
1. We'll work extra hard to bring you the best deals (and free stuff) that Orange County has to offer.
2. We'll put on fun events that will give you a reason to party!
3. We'll keep providing you with exciting content on the cutting-edge of technology. For instance, get ready for Greer's OC TV this month!
4. We'll continue to listen to your guidance (because of your input, we've cut back on the number of e-mails each week).
5. We'll have fun.

GREAT FIND
submitted by Melody Handy in Newport Beach
I just came across the best store while running into Picnics for lunch. Oh Scrap! is a scrapbooking store but they have so much more. I found the best Christmas cards. I bought the best USC magnetic board and album. They also have the best Mom Agenda that I think I need. Great gifts and nice people. Such a darling store. 427 E 17th St # B
Costa Mesa. 949.645.3334.
