Restaurant Marin Among Eater’s 10 Orange County Restaurants Worth the Drive From San Diego
Chef Noah Blom and wife-partner Marin built on the success of Arc at The OC Mix with Restaurant Marin, a chic diner that also features wood-fired cooking. Grab breakfast, lunch, or dinner on the covered patio in a blue cushioned booth or grab a blue plastic table indoors, all set to French accordion music. Breakfast is as luxurious as you want to be, whether you prefer a basic bacon and egg sandwich or crab hash browns. Later in the day, they pile buttery lobster rolls with shrimp and serve a downright architectural chicken pot pie. Don’t leave without eating dessert, whether it’s supple donut holes served with whipped cream and quad-berry jam, or a towering slab of cake.

GUILDED AGE A coterie of culinarians can now join visionaries Noah von Blöm and Marín Howarth von Blöm (of Arc and Restaurant Marin fame) for classic cuisine and cocktails at their new venture, The Guild Club (theguildclub.com), which finally bowed after building anticipation for more than a year and now serves up a late 19th century-inspired gastronomical experience. “The venue allows me to showcase my finedining background and Marín’s design imagination,” says Noah.

OC Register: Best Thing I Ate This Week: Restaurant Marin fries!
When I reviewed Restaurant Marin in May, one of the things I liked most about this all-day gourmet diner was its no-tipping policy.

Orange Coast: Main Course – Restaurant Marin
After a round of great signature cocktails at Arc restaurant, we head next door for dinner at its sibling, 5-month-old Restaurant Marin. The contrast is a jarring shift in realms. Where Arc is primal and dark and brawny, Marin is dainty and buoyant and almost girlish. The magical thread stitching these divergent worlds together is the quixotic vision of Marin Howarth and Noah Blom, the hospitality power duo that defies the quaint stereotype of mom-and-pop operators. Marin is the new addition to their SoCo Collection family, and like Arc, it resembles nothing else in our local restaurant landscape. Here, in this 30-seat jewel box of a bistro, Blom and Howarth offer a morning-til-midnight diner serving lush renditions of comfort classics.
