“Westwood Coast, the newest culinary venture from San Francisco-based Proof Positive, debuted in early July at Triangle Square in Costa Mesa. Proof Positive now makes its debut in Orange County with Westwood Coast by pairing an elevated, chef-driven steakhouse dining experience with lively country entertainment on the Weekends.” 

“At the helm of the kitchen is Executive Chef Jayro Martinez, who brings over a decade of culinary experience to the venture.  Martinez has led as an Executive Chef in several acclaimed kitchens, including Mayfield in San Juan Capistrano, AHBA in Laguna Beach, Social in Costa Mesa, and most recently, at Dana Point’s Outer Reef and then Knife Modern Steak under the tutelage of celebrity Chef John Tesar. Westwood Coast is bolstered by a team of powerhouse hospitality professionals, including Chef de Cuisine Dan Perry, formerly of The Ranch, and General Manager Michael Ruiz of BOA Steakhouse. Westwood Coast presents a unique experience that artfully blends exceptional hospitality, lively entertainment, and bold American flavors with premium cuts of meat.

“Shareable starters are brought to life with locally sourced peak-of-season ingredients in dishes like the Grilled Spanish Octopus, which shares the plate with fried green tomatoes and crispy Smoked Duck Wings. Martinez’s signature Corn Ribs are reimagined with tangy lime aioli and salsa macha powder. Standout entrees include Short Rib Agnolotti with bone marrow and shaved Brussels sprouts, and Petaluma Fried Chicken served with herby buttermilk and hot honey.” The creative sides including Bacon Creamed Spinach, and Wild Mushrooms with Bordelaise and thyme are worth noting, too.

Executive Chef Jayro Martinez and General Manager Michael Ruiz continue as our guests previewing all the tempting elements that are Westwood Coast.
