The 14 Best Restaurants In Newport Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Some French restaurants seem stuck in a loop of the never-ending loop of onion soup and beef bourguignon. But special occasion spot Marche Modern excels at reworking classics with skill. Their rendition of coq au vin is essentially pasta, with a pile of linguini and braised chicken that soaks up a slurpable wine sauce, and the lovely hamachi crudo is practically a dessert, topped with a mango sorbet that chills each bite. Even bread and butter (the latter flown in from France) gets an upgrade/ Though the dining room is packed with Rolexes and the valet line features a rainbow-colored row of Porsches, the inventive food keeps the experience from feeling stuffy." - cathy park
