We ordered the Yogi sandwich with roast turkey, Haas avocado, chimichutney, cucumber, marinated tomato, wild arugula, and a French roll. It was incredibly refreshing and somehow left you wanting more with every bite. The bread also had the perfect crunch to it that tied everything together so well. We also got the Chinese Chicken Salad with roast chicken, kale, swiss chard, arugula, pickled ginger, red cabbage, watermelon radish, crispy wontons, and a Chinese mustard vinaigrette. This was another standout. Every bite woke up the taste buds and had such a fresh, flavorful balance to it. Will absolutely be coming back here for more. We'll definitely be bringing our friends and family next time too!

First…read moreoff, we were greeted warmly and Jamie stood there and helped answered all our questions, and gave us really good recommendations. We got three sandwiches, two pastries, a coffee, smoothie and their wellness shots. The establishment was bright, clean and welcoming. I love the pops of pink everywhere. Jamie said the bread and pastries were imported from Denmark and everything was delicious. It's almost like a flatbread that holds its crisp, all without hurting the roof of your mouth. We got a spicy caesar, tunacado, and the steak. All sandwiches had fresh ingredients but the steak was my absolute favorite. I got the trust your gut smoothie, and it tasted good. The turmeric shot with extra ginger went down really smooth. The banana bread was delicious but the carrot cake was even better. I was overly impressed by this place, easy to find in the mall, welcoming staff, clean establishment and food were good and easy to enjoy at the beach, I can't wait to go try other flavors of smoothies and sandwiches. Can we also talk about how cute and practical their packaging is?!

Decided to drive down to Newport for the day, wound up browsing the shops at Fashion Island, and…read morethen wound up having lunch at Great Maple, one of the better, sit-down restaurants at the center. It's a bright and airy venue, with thick, clubby stools at the bar and a dual, indoor/outdoor dining area that's just right for the coastal California locale. We arrived near the end of the lunch rush, so we were quickly seated by the friendly Hostess, though there were still plenty of folks eating, and a lively buzz was still thrumming through the room. It was just the right energy for a Saturday lunch. Our server, Darren, was a hoot, with a slight shimmy to his step and personality for days -- sometimes that can be a bit much, but in this case his charisma added a much appreciated charm to the meal. While we didn't imbibe at this sitting, they do have a full bar with a nice selection of cocktails suitable for brunch or dinner, and it's easy to imagine whiling away quite a few hours here at another opportunity. The menu offers a number of clever twists on brunch and lunch mainstays, especially house-made doughnuts and a few Benedicts that push all the buttons of "well, this is something appealingly different." That said, we were just tad boring today as diners, ordering a Burger and the house BLT. We may have made some ordinary-sounding decisions, but Great Maple's versions of these favorites were far from ordinary at all. The burger is made with high quality beef that has just the right amount of fat to make it juicy while retaining the integrity of the flavor of the meat. Cheese, veggies and a fresh brioche bun rounded out the presentation, as did a perfectly achieved pink medium rare. This was a very good, very satisfying burger served with crispy, shoestring fries that really hit the spot. The BLT is built on Levain sourdough that is thick-cut and lightly toasted, and holds up nicely against the moisture in the tomatoes and bright, leafy lettuce. Aioli had a noticeable but mild, and very enjoyable, garlic accent that played really well with everything, walking the line between "spread" and "dressing," and becoming a meaningful component of the sandwich rather than being just an adornment. But the star of the sandwich was the smoky bacon, cut thick enough to retain a pleasing chew while also boasting the kind of char and crisp that make for the most enjoyable bacon on a sandwich. Really, this was a terrific BLT, far above what you normally get, and, as I said before, not anywhere near as ordinary as you may think. So, a very good lunch at Great Maple, and very good reason to plan another visit very soon. Kudos to everyone.

The concept reimagines Vietnamese style rice paper rolls with unconventional, flavorful fillings and specialized sauces.  The rolls are fresh, tasty, and "packed" with ingredients. Popular, unique options include Chicken Caesar with approximately 22 gram of protein, Spicy Tuna, Smoked Salmon, Prosciutto, and shrimp. They creative combinations like smoked salmon with horseradish cream cheese or prosciutto with mozzarella. The menu is gluten free, and roughly half of the options are vegan like roasted eggplant. Kaleido Rolls is highly recommended for those looking for a light, healthy, and high-quality lunch or snack, particularly if you are in the Newport Beach area and want a fresh alternative to heavier, fried, or fast-food options.

Their rolls are quite pricey, at $9.75/piece or 2 rolls for $18. This was quite a price difference from what I have seen from their Chicago menu. You can also sample rolls as you browse their menu. I ordered the shrimp and prosciutto rolls. They offer peanut sauce, hot sauce, and I forgot the 3rd sauce. The staff was friendly and food came out within 10 minutes. Since it is within a food court, there are tables that accommodate parties of varying size in a well-lit area. The rolls were okay. I hate that they used paper as part of their packaging as the rolls stuck to them. I did not think the price was justified given exceptional rolls in O.C. at half the price.

I actually thought just the fries without the queso were good, I don't think I'd splurge for the queso again. Staff were friendly! The line to order did move a little slow but once we got sat it was pretty quick to get our food. I also appreciate the kind of indoor outdoor vibe here with the big windows and patio. I would definitely make this a regular stop if I was at Fashion Island more often.

The sandwich selection offered a great variety of options and instantly reminded us of some of the delis we visited in Italy. The employee mentioned that fresh focaccia would be ready in about 10 minutes, which was a thoughtful heads-up and definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Carissimo, while my husband--who tends to prefer simpler flavors--went with the Not a Muffuletta without the olive salad. At first, the price for two sandwiches felt a little steep, but after taking a few bites, it felt justified. The focaccia was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. If I had one small suggestion, it would be slightly thinner bread to let the fillings shine even more. That said, both sandwiches were delicious, satisfying, and surprisingly light while still filling. As with many spots on Balboa Island, seating is limited, so I'd recommend planning to take your food to go and enjoy it on the beach or at one of the nearby benches. Overall, though pricier for a sandwich, this is a wonderful addition to the island and a great spot for a summer lunch.
