"A new restaurant called Verde from partners Koire Rogers and Anthony Laborin debuted in mid-November in Costa Mesa at 2675 Irvine Avenue. The two-story spot features California cooking from chef Paula Balderrama (formerly of Pizzeria Mozza, Folks Pizzeria) including dishes like a ribeye cap topped with anchovy herb butter and barramundi with mashed parsnip and walnut crumble." - Cathy Chaplin
