Eating and Museum-ing in Orange county

last week I was invited to have dinner at Pinot Provence in Costa Mesa. It’s an awarding winning French restaurant near South coast Plaza owned by the Patina Group.

I was incredibly ecstatic about this because there are not a lot of French restaurants near me so I never eat French food (besides French fries). and it was great to get dressed up for dinner! I felt all fancy-like.

And this wasn’t just any French meal – the chef put together a tasting menu in honor of the 100th excursion de France!

First course was Tomato Gazpacho, Dungeness Crab Beignet, Heirloom Tomato, Basil Pistou ~ Chateau de St. Martin rose 2012

I loved this rose – very light and best for summer. 

I went on a Wednesday night so it was pretty quite.

The second course was my favorite non-dessert course – scallops! I also loved the plate and presentation of this Camiseta Gamba Osaka one.

Seared Scallops, Parsley Gremolata, Basil Scented Jus ~ domain Cherrier et Fils Sancerre 2011

Third course – I’m not a big red white wine girl, but this was delicious. I think this indicates I’m getting the wrong reds.

Roasted Duck Breast, Celery root Purée, summer Squash, Duck Liver Jus ~Tablas Creek Vineyard Patelin de Tablas 2011

The grand finale is always the best, right? I had never had a Sauternes before and really took pleasure in it. I love Port with some dark chocolate for dessert and this was smooth and just as sweet (without being cloyingly so).

There was even live music…

Okay, maybe not. maybe by the end of the night I was a little loosened up and just having fun

The tasting menu was just for 2 days and is over now. But, that menu is reflective if their entire summer offerings so lots of of the dishes are available. The chef updates the menu seasonally and it must hold until about September. You can check out the current dinner menu here.

But before you hit up dinner you can work up an appetite at a new exhibit in Buena Park.

Bodies the exhibition and Titanic the experience are both opening on August 1st in Buena Park (near Knott’s Berry Farm). I saw the Bodies exhibit a while back in LA and it is remarkable and incredibly interesting.

As a runner and fitness instructor I am curious about the body, but don’t get the opportunity to see what’s going on under our skin (guess I shoulda went to medschool instead of getting a state school degree in Blogology). I think any individual with a body must check out Bodies and learn something.

I’m also kinda consumed with the Titanic so I’ll be checking that out too.

Opening day is August 1st and Camiseta Copa Mundial de Fútbol ticket pricing is below:

Check out the Premier Exhibitions web site for a lot more information.

Ticket Giveaway: Premier Exhibitions is giving one RER reader four tickets to the the exhibit!

To Enter: Leave a comment on this post saying which exhibit you’d be a lot more ecstatic to see!

Closes July 31st 8am PST. open to all, but please only enter if you are able to get to Buena Park. I’ll announce the winner July 31st by noon. winner can choose the date they want to attend.
