During these trying times and shelter-at-home, South Coast Plaza restaurants have adapted to take-out and curbside pick-up with success. Thirteen restaurants offer abbreviated and family-style menus ranging from Japanese cuisine (who isn't craving sushi), prime steaks, contemporary cuisine, and more.
Chef Amar Santana's take-out at VACA has been lauded in recent weeks by restaurant critics Bill Addison with the Los Angles Times and Brad Johnson of the Orange County Register. Their recommendations: Paella Valenciana family-menu with Vaca Tonics to go! Water Grill has a dazzling pop-up market three days a week (premium seafood and live lobster to prepare at home). Din Tai Fung has been busy and check out Royal Khyber's special three-course curbside menu for two for $30. Award-winning Chef Ross Pangilinan has just begun take-out at TERRACE by Mix Mix.
