AG,

I remember Skinny Haven. Haven't heard that name in years. I may have gone there once or twice, but since until recently I lived in the Huntington Beach area I didn't make over there much. I've heard of Rutabegorz, but not eaten there, same with Mead's. A place I really enjoyed was Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop at the SOCO mall in Costa Mesa. The food and atmosphere were both great. If you're ever out there it's worth a stop.
