Lighthouse Café has launched a new dock-anddine menu .
Some salads at Sweetgreen , a new eatery at Fashion Island
DOCK AND DINE
While LIGHTHOUSE CAFÉ offers harbor views from its Balboa Peninsula location in Marina Park , meals can also be enjoyed right on the water with the restaurant ’ s new dock-and-dine program , which launched over the summer . Continuing into fall and likely remaining an option year-round , boaters may place an order online and pick up their food at the host stand after pulling into the adjacent public dock . Choose from shareable bites like seared ahi nachos , filet crostini , and lobster mac and cheese , or handheld offerings such as a crispy chicken sandwich , Buffalo chicken sliders , and a turkey pesto sandwich . Lighthouse Café is open daily , serving brunch , lunch and dinner from 8 a . m . to 9 p . m . Orders can be placed 48 hours in advance by emailing catering @ lighthousenb . com . ( 949-933-1001 ; lighthousenb . com ) — C . B .
A SWEET ADDITION
Bringing its healthy fare to Newport Beach , SWEETGREEN opened in August at Fashion Island . Choose from salads like the Hummus Crunch or Buffalo Chicken ; bowls like the Fish Taco , Shroomami or Chicken Pesto Parm ; and protein plates with miso-glazed salmon or hot honey chicken . The chain also recently added a grass-fed , pasture-raised caramelized garlic steak to the menu : Tender bites of steak , finished with a gentle toss of extra-virgin olive oil and herbs , can be added to a salad , bowl or protein plate . Notably , Sweetgreen ’ s Newport Beach restaurant is the second location in OC to feature the brand ’ s Infinite Kitchen technology , which made its West Coast debut in Huntington Beach in late 2023 . While staff members interact with customers ordering at the counter , prepare ingredients and put finishing touches on the dishes , the Infinite Kitchen automates meal assembly to process orders more quickly .
