NYE at Babette’s
12.29.14
Come join Babette’s at Newport Coast, the East Coast-born New American eatery with a fresh vibe and ambiance, and ring in the New Year on Wednesday with a delicious three- course prix fixe dinner and a glass of Veuve Clicquot for $95 per person. There’s also an option for a crafted cocktail pairing with each course for an additional $25 per person.
Babette’s dinner starts with an amuse bouche of potato-sunchoke puree, crispy fingerling, crème fraiche, caviar chive oil and micro chervil. The first course options include a Pan Roasted Maine Diver Sea Scallop with bay scallops, baby bok choy, wild mushrooms, black truffles and truffled soy emulsion; or Steelhead Salmon with fennel-pink peppercorn flan, smoked salmon, potato leek pancake, citrus caper vinaigrette, arugula and bulls blood; or Black Truffle and Manchego Creamy Polenta with poached organic egg, micro celery and manchego crisp.
The second course options include Sake-Soy Marinated Ribeye of Beef (organic grass-fed) broccoli rab, shishito pepper, charred scallion-bone marrow puree, fall spiced and pomegranate glace; or Salt Cured Muscovy Duck Breast with sweet potato blini, garam masala roasted baby carrots, star anise Mandarin and orange glace; or Wild Mushroom and Gypsy Pepper Stuffed Japanese Eggplant with quinoa, cippolini onion and acorn squash veloute.
Dessert options include wild blueberry-Bourbon sauce and vanilla bean ice cream, or carrot cake with curried carrot gel, golden raisin puree and walnut powder.

Ruby’s 32 Cent Burrito
12.28.14
The celebration continues on Friday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. in honor of Ruby’s 32nd anniversary at Ruby’s Dinette in Costa Mesa! We know the 32¢ RubyBurger was a huge hit—almost 2,200 sold on December 19—so now Ruby’s is offering its full-size Breakfast Burrito at the same incredible price, for dine in or to go.
The Breakfast Burrito is a warm 9-inch flour tortilla layered with freshly scrambled eggs, grated Jack and cheddar cheese, and housemade salsa. One small catch: Limit one burrito per person and the 32¢ Breakfast Burrito is a la carte and does not include extras or sides. Available only at Ruby’s Dinette, the new Googie-inspired design and fast-casual concept on East 17th Street in Costa Mesa.
Ruby’s Dinette at 428 E. 17th St. in Costa Mesa.
