Provenance is a Napa-style, farm-to-table restaurant in Newport Beach‘s Eastbluff Village Center, uphill from Balboa Bay glitz. Chef Cathy Pavlos has a 1,300-square foot garden at her disposal. Her back patio features raised beds and living walls that fuel menu items. She makes most items in-house, including cocktail infusions and an excellent Earl Grey Manhattan Cream Soda ($6).

The luxurious Provenance soda features syrup crafted from liquefied sugar, Earl Grey tea bags and vanilla bean. Half and half adds richness to the aromatic beverage. Earl Grey Manhattan cream soda arrives on the rocks in a Mason jar with a fluffy whipped cream cap. Sip the soda through a straw, soak up the bucolic surroundings, and gird yourself before stepping back into this specific Orange County world.
