Newport
Beach, Calif.--Fashion Island Shopping Center is primarily an outdoor center
with ocean views of the Newport Beach Harbor and Pacific Ocean. An outdoor kids
carousel, koi pond, statues, kiosks, and host to special events, also has an
indoor portion called "Atrium".
The Atrium is a three-story indoor shopping and dining mall in a circular
shape. The centerpiece as you enter from the outdoor mall is the huge water
fountain surrounded by a food court with many mini-restaurant counters where you
can buy all sorts of foods. Hamburgers, hot dogs and malts are served at one
restaurant. Another specializes in pizza, lasagna and Italian offerings. Salads,
soups, fresh vegetables, deli sandwiches, Chinese, and a variety of foods are
offered in the court, and operated by individual restaurant vendors.
There is a Starbuck's Coffee shop close to the restaurant area, so you can
also wander over and get a favorite coffee drink such as a latte, mocha or
espresso.
