Executive Chef Jayro Martinez, Westwood Coast Steakhouse, Triangle Square, Costa Mesa

SoCal Restaurant Show

“Westwood Coast Steakhouse, 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 Steakhouse by pairing an elevated, chef-driven steakhouse dining experience with lively country entertainment.

At the helm of the kitchen is Executive Chef Jayro Martinez, a C-CAP graduate, 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 Texas-based celebrity Chef John Tesar.

“Westwood Coast is bolstered by a team of powerhouse hospitality professionals, including General Manager Michael Ruiz of BOA Steakhouse. Westwood Coast presents a unique experience that artfully blends attentive hospitality, lively entertainment, and bold American flavors with premium cuts of meat.”

A Dinner menu highlight is the massive 40 oz. Australian Wagyu Ribeye from Margaret River. The Korean chili glazed Duck Wings with sesame and green onion are worth contemplating, too.

Executive Chef Jayro Martinez is our guest to reveal all the diverse elements that are Westwood Coast Steakhouse and what he’s preparing (dual dishes) for the Grand Tasting tonight at Manhattan Beach Food & Wine.
