South Coast Plaza is definitely the best shopping mall in California. I found it refreshing that the three shops that we shopped at had really nice employees. They were knowledgeable and friendly. They always made us feel that our needs were most important. “Mars Li” in Georgio Armani was wonderful. Georgio Armani is very lucky to have him working there. Austin Schroeter in Ralph Lauren was very helpful and courteous. Yes you expect that kind of service in high end shops. But you don’t always get that. He even offered to carry my purchase out to our car. Sabrina in Escada was also very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. They each represent South Coast Plaza perfectly. That is why we love to shop there. They have a few hundred shops to choose from. Great quality shops. Plus lots of really good restaurants.

Fairview Park is very versatile area that is rarely crowded. Walk your dog, fly a kite, bike ride, enjoy the sea breezes or just spread a blanket and enjoy a quiet nap. There are free concerts in the summer and even a model airplane and glider area.
