Hush Goes Beyond American Wines, Taps Southern Hemisphere Labels for Five-Course Dinner
EXECUTIVE DINING
During the past few months, Patrick and I have had several meals at Le Chateau Garden Bistro in the Ayres Hotel & Suites Costa Mesa/Newport Beach.
I've dined there with my quarterly lunch compatriots, attorney Don Segretti, Business Journal Executive Editor Rick Reiffand Cisco guy Ray Van Natta, because I thought they should know about the good food and comforting atmosphere. I've recommended the restaurant to many others.
Like so many hotel restaurants, this one often is overlooked. That's a shame. Le Chateau offers a different perspective in that it has a marvelous Old World ambiance reminiscent of the celebrated restaurants that dot Europe.
Add some proudly prepared food from chef Pedro Uribe, and the restaurant's worthiness is even more obvious.
This is a charming hotel. Instead of the flash and flair, the Ayres Hotel Group owns and operates a collection of custom European-sty le boutique hotels in prime Southern California locations.
We arrive at Le Chateau with its dark wood touches, banquettes along the wall, genteel artwork and tables draped and attractively set and surrounded by more of that comfortable seating.
We could eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here since it is the only restaurant...
