The Table
Summer in Newport is, among other 
things, a culinary occasion.
The restaurant scene here is one of the 
coast’s best-kept secrets and one of its 
most celebrated open ones: a contradic-
tion that makes perfect sense once you’ve 
spent a season eating your way through it. 
Seafood pulled from cold Pacific waters, 
served simply and impeccably. Cocktails 
built for long golden hours, for clinking 
glasses on a terrace while the sun takes 
its time going down. The dining culture 
of coastal Orange County is one of abun-
dance without excess, of pleasure taken 
seriously and savoured slowly. 
The Life
What draws people here (and what keeps 
them) is harder to name than any single 
beach or restaurant or harbour view.
It is the accumulation of it. It is the way a 
summer morning here can hold a sunrise 
paddle, a farmers market, a drive up PCH 
with the top down, a long lunch with 
people you love, and still leave room for 
the kind of evening that becomes a mem-
ory. It is luxury not as a statement but as 
a setting: the background against which a 
genuinely beautiful life is lived.
This issue is our map to that life. We’ve 
gathered the finest of the season: the 
events worth clearing your calendar for, 
the restaurants deserving a reservation, 
the fashion and discoveries that define 
summer done right. 
The water is warm. The season is here.
Come on in. 
餐桌 
在纽波特的夏天，美食同样是一场重要的仪式。
这里的餐饮版图，既是海岸线上最值得私藏的秘密之一，也是最广为
称道的公开盛景之一——这种看似矛盾的特质，只要你真正用一个季
节去细细品味，便会觉得再自然不过。来自寒冷太平洋海域的新鲜海
产，以极简却无可挑剔的方式呈现；鸡尾酒则为漫长而迷人的金色时
刻而调制，适合在露台上轻碰酒杯，静看夕阳从容西沉。南橙县海岸
的餐饮文化，是丰盛却不流于铺张，是认真对待愉悦，并以从容的节
奏细细享受。
生活 
真正吸引人们来到这里，并让他们最终留下的，往往不是某一
片海滩、某一家餐厅，或某一个海港景观所能单独解释的。
它是一切细节的累积。是这里的一个夏日清晨，可以容纳日出时的海
上划桨、农夫市集、一段敞篷驶过加州一号公路的兜风、与挚爱之人的
悠长午餐，而在这一切之后，仍然留有余裕，去迎接一个足以成为回忆
的夜晚。这里的奢华从不是一种刻意声明，而是一种生活背景——真
正美好的人生，就在这样的背景中自然展开。
这一期，正是我们为这种生活方式绘制的一张地图。我们汇集了本季
最值得关注的一切：那些值得你专程空出日程的活动，那些值得提前
预订的餐厅，以及定义“理想夏日”的时尚与发现。
海水已暖，季节已至。
不妨走进来。
