Safely Dine and Workout Indoors again!

It’s been a rollercoaster of a year, and at times, it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Joining forces as a community, we are strongly working to combat the challenges, and we have made some great progress.

Because of this, things have been improving and we are able to enjoy the things we once frequented including indoor dining and fitness.

We can now safely dine indoors at Fashion Island, Irvine Spectrum Center, and The Market Place. Hello, restaurants! Here we come!

Plus, we can really get back into shape with indoor fitness now available, too. Who else is excited about this?!

Curbside Pickup: Restaurants, Food & Drink

Updated December 8, 2020

Sweet treats. Pizza. Salads. Juice & smoothies. Burgers. Bubble tea. Sandwiches. Vegetarian. Pho. Salads. Ramen. Burritos. Pretzels.

And more. SO much more!

Whatever cuisine you’re craving, there’s a local restaurant ready to serve you. And while we might be able to dine-in at restaurants during this time, we can certainly still provide support to local businesses by ordering our favorite food and drink to go.

And, our new favorite takeout option comes in the form of the curbside pickup. Order. Park. Pickup. It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

Plus, Fashion Island, Irvine Spectrum Center, and The Market Place have made it even more convenient to utilize curbside pickup options when ordering takeout. These shopping centers have recently expanded their pickup locations so a restaurant can bring food directly to your car upon arrival. Or, simply park in these short-term parking spots so you can quickly hop into any restaurant and take your food to go.
