“Marche Moderne, which opened in 2007, has been described as “probably the best bistro in Southern California” in the Los Angeles Times by S. Irene Virbila; was crowned best restaurant in OC by Orange County Register restaurant critic Brad A. Johnson; and named in the LA Times 2014 “101 Best Restaurants” by Pulitzer Prize-winning restaurant critic Jonathan Gold. The Marneaus combine a passion for market-inspired ingredients and classic French cooking techniques with modern touches at their popular restaurant.”

The fundraiser will feature an eye-popping silent auction of select luxury offerings. Perfect items for really thoughtful Holiday Gifts…
