Other specialties include King Crab tempura roll, salmon poke, grilled fish sandwiches and New England clam chowder. Dessert choices include lemon bars, Black Russian cake, chocolate dream cake, fresh peach tarts and the always popular (and easy) Rice Krispie Treats!

Dazzling diamonds

Watch out for the glare inside the new Harry Winston salon at South Coast Plaza. The legendary diamond jeweler’s passion for extraordinary stones is apparent when you are nearly blinded by some of the most dazzling diamonds and rare gemstones available.

The elegant salon carries Harry Winston’s diamond jewelry collections, engagement rings and luxury timepieces for men and women. As we learned on a tour of the salon, Harry Winston was all about the beauty of the diamond; he wasn’t keen on precious metals stealing the show. He created an invisible platinum setting that brought out the brilliance of the stone.

Visitors to the store have the option of shopping in private viewing rooms for a personalized shopping experience.

Harry Winston is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday on Level 2 at South Costa Plaza in Costa Mesa. For more information, call (714) 371-1915 or visit www.harrywinston.com.

Durable kid clothes

Neige is a high-end children’s line based in Orange County that offers timeless, sophisticated styles for girls (18 months to 12 years) and boys (2 to 8 years).

Neige is fashion forward with European cuts and styles. Designer and co-founder Adrienne Catrina’s eye for design evolved as an assistant designer to Vera Wang. And motherhood brought to her attention a void in the children’s market for modern and age-appropriate apparel.

Since the inception of Neige, the line has been devoted to detail, quality and design that’s captured an international following. The collection includes indispensable pieces durable enough to hand down to little siblings.
