Only Rock (Not Roll) and You’ll Like It!

Just because a 30.08-carat brilliant, round-cut J color diamond ring, complemented by 2.86 carats of baguette diamonds set in platinum doesn’t speak to me, doesn’t mean it won’t make someone’s day. And here’s where to find this incredible rock—-Lugano Diamonds in Newport Beach just unveiled this artistic creation, priced at $1.85 million. (Be sure and wear sunglasses.)

Southern comfort

Old Vine Cafe has long been known for its fabulously approachable wine-paired dinners, but savvy fans already know that the Costa Mesa eatery serves up some serious brunch and breakfast fare as well. And now, Sunday brunch has gone southern: two eggs, fresh-baked biscuit with honey butter, house made scrapple and a panko-crusted fried green tomato—makes for some must-eat morning eats, no? For those who prefer something less breakfast-y, there’s also a new salad of seasonal greens, hearts of palm, artisan-cured ham with crispy-fried artichokes tossed in a creamy tarragon dressing and aged pecorino.
You can also never go wrong with brunch favorites like the Omelette Espana, with proscuitto and Manchego cheese or the Pizza Omelette, tender meatballs tucked inside fluffy omelette and slathered with a savory pomodoro sauce. There’s also the breakfast that’s practically dessert: Chef Mark McDonald’s pumpkin pecan French toast is to die for.
Old Vine Cafe is located at 2937 Bristol St. (at The Camp) in Costa Mesa
