Danny Sandler, DPR Construction
This summer, dining out becomes a full family affair as Irvine Company Retail Properties proudly announces the return of the annual Culinary Adventures: Where Kids Eat Free™, a seasonal celebration across Orange County’s leading open-aired retail centers where kids eat free at select restaurants across the cities of Irvine, Tustin, and Newport Beach. From June 1 to August 28, kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree Sunday-Thursday.
Last year, the first Culinary Adventures: Where Kids Eat Free™ program was met with enormous popularity at The Market Place. This summer, Culinary Adventures expands across the Irvine Ranch to additional leading retail destinations, including Fashion Island and Irvine Spectrum Center, making it easy for families to savor something special in their own Orange County community. Highlights include P.F. Chang’s, Red O Taste of Mexico, Habana, Pepper Lunch, Tender Greens, Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar, Pacific Catch, Luna Grill, Sole Toscana, The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, Mutt’s, and more.
