Orange County Restaurants

Executive Chef Michael Ruiz has crafted Preux & Proper's menu, a New Orleans flavor-infused and market-driven selection of sharable plates like smoked shrimp beignets and wood grilled oysters. Proper's upstairs raw bar offers a selection of fresh seafood sourced from the finest Gulf Coast purveyors and beyond. Expect daily specials ranging from a variety of oysters on the half shell and moonshine shooters to crab claws and lobster cocktails. The muffuletta plate made with house cured meats and crispy frog legs marinated with Anaheim chili, sauce picante and coriander seeds are also perfect for an evening where you want the food and booze to flow continuously.
