Lucca’s Executive Chef and co-owner Cathy Pavlos, just opened Provenance at Eastbluff Village Center in Newport Beach. It’s her way of honoring local and natural ingredients, many of which come from Provenance’s organic raised-bed garden visible from the patio seating.
“This new concept brings me back to my roots. As a lifelong Orange County resident, I learned the value of providing high-quality produce from my grandfather, who was a commercial farmer in Huntington Beach. I grew up eating and cooking only his farm-raised produce, fresh fish from the docks in San Pedro, fresh fruits from family orchards in Whittier, and often proteins butchered on the farm.”
The Provenance menu focuses on seasonal garden offerings, with signature sandwiches and lighter fare at lunch, larger plates at dinner, along with daily specials. All sauces, dressings and other menu items are made in-house, even when it comes to canning, preserving, curing, pickling and smoking. The menu features only humanely raised meats, such as certified Angus beef, locally raised free-range and hormone-free Shelton turkey, and Jidori chicken, as well as wild seafoods.
Lunch menus highlight many small plates featuring the freshest seasonal offerings, such as Napa Cabbage, Charred Broccoli, Honey-Balsamic Roasted Baby Carnival Carrots, Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Braised Rapini. A menu of sandwiches includes Roasted Leg of Colorado Lamb served with lemon confit, mixed chards and Kalamata Olive aioli on artisan bread from locally based OC Baking Company. Lighter dishes include an Oven-Steamed Fish of the Day served with Garden Vegetables and Herbs, Citrus Confit, and Red Quinoa.
Dinner menus focus on small plates based on seasonal garden offerings, but also focus on larger plates, including Roasted Jidori Chicken, Smoked Maple Leaf Farms Duck Breast, Certified Angus Beef Rib Eye, Rack of New Zealand Lamb, Maple Cured Heritage Pork Chops, and Braised Veal Short Ribs.
A private Chef’s table can seat up to eight guests with premiere seating to view the state-of-the-art Euro cooking suite in action. Reservations for the Chef’s table must be made in advance and guests will have the option of a special Chef’s Tasting Menu with wine and craft cocktail pairings from the bar.
A full bar complements the food with fresh, seasonal cocktails created by bar chefs emphasizing fresh ingredients, house-crafted sodas, flavor-infused spirits, and smoked cocktails. Vintage cocktails will include the Corpse Reviver #2 with Gin Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, Lemon Juice and Absinthe, and the Fogcutter with Orgeat, Rum, Pisco Brandy, Gin, Orange Juice, Lemon Juice, and Cream Sherry.
Provenance also offers an extensive selection of wines by the glass and bottle and micro-brewed beers.
Open 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. for dinner Monday through Friday; open for dinner 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for brunch and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner on Sunday.
At the Eastbluff Village Center at 2531 Eastbluff Drive in Newport Beach. 949.718.0477
