After more than two decades as neighbors catering to Manhattan's Upper East Side clientele, Charlie Palmer and luxury retailer Bloomingdale's finally get together under one roof at Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale's South Coast Plaza, one of the country's ultimate luxury destinations. Drawing upon wine as the design inspiration, the restaurant flooring is crafted from reclaimed wine barrels, with the burnished patina of the wood enhanced by vintage leather chair coverings in warm tones to create a rustic but sophisticated environment.
Under the direction of Executive Chef Amar Santana, the menu builds upon this rich earthiness with dishes such as Liberty Duck Breast with toasted cumin and Roasted Sonoma Chicken in garlic jus. Complimenting the seasonally inspired menu is a diverse wine list highlighting an impressive collection of small artisan Champagnes, select vintages of Château Lafite-Rothschild, Bordeaux and verticals of Barolo from producers such as Giacomo Conterno.
