There's a new restaurant called Robbins Nest in Downtown Santa Ana–a wine bar to be exact, located at 207 West Second Street near Lola Gaspar and inside the Historic Gas Company Building.
There's wines of course, and for the eating, small plates including grilled artichokes, charcuterie, a four-cheese mac and cheese, bake, pizza, sandwiches and full-on entrees such as a “Snap Crackle Halibut” with a crust made of “special herbs and spices” and “Brick Chicken”.
The chef is one Jonathan Garner who used to work at Nelson's at Terranea Resort in L.A.
