Where to Eat Around the Newport Beach Film Festival
Film lovers, mark your calendars for Oct. 15-22, when the 27th annual Newport Beach Film Festival returns to Triangle Square in Costa Mesa. Starlight Triangle Cinemas will screen feature films, documentaries, animated shorts, action sports films and international entries throughout the festival.
Round up your friends and book a brunch, lunch or dinner reservation at one of Triangle Square's popular restaurants before or after a screening. Options include elevated Southern comfort food at the recently opened LJ's Lounge, Tulum-inspired fare at Casa de Onda, traditional tapas at Cafe Sevilla and casual steakhouse favorites at Westwood Coast.
Sushi fans can make a night of it at Oji Sushi & Sake Bar before the 9 p.m. Oct. 21 screening of "California Roll: The Rise of American Sushi." For a full day out, reserve a lane at Tavern + Bowl to bowl and grab a bite before or after the movie.
Tickets and the full lineup of films showing at Starlight Triangle Cinemas are available on the festival website.
One of Orange County's premier dining and entertainment destinations, Triangle Square sits in the heart of downtown Costa Mesa, where Newport Boulevard meets Harbor Boulevard. The center offers seven levels of free parking.
