The expansion marks a strategic shift for restaurateur Robert Paetz, who built the brand’s reputation in Santa Ana by prioritizing an immersive, shareable dining experience. The new space at 2010 Main, Suite 170, will feature a design palette of marble finishes, dramatic lighting, and vintage-inspired textures, tailored to accommodate everything from casual date nights to professional gatherings.

EMMES Realty Services, which manages the property alongside Oaktree Capital Management, views the addition as a cornerstone of its broader plan to transform traditional office environments into lifestyle-oriented destinations. By integrating high-end hospitality directly into the workplace footprint, developers are attempting to attract both corporate tenants and local residents. According to Justin Nguyen, executive vice president of asset management at EMMES, the goal is to cultivate a "third space" that remains active beyond standard business hours. Paetz confirmed that while the menu will retain signature dishes from the original location, the Irvine site will debut seasonal and exclusive offerings designed specifically for the local community.
