I heard through the grapevine that The Arches restaurant is going to be moving to 1617 Westcliff in Newport Beach. You may remember that earlier this year, The Arches closed, reportedly for good.
Not quite, it seems.
This new location, as some might recall, used to house Ristorante Max. The interesting bit, however, is that this was the same location that 25 Degrees was scouting for its new Newport Beach store.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
