The Recess Room Debuts lunch
11.29.19
Five lifelong friends realized their childhood dream by opening The Recess Room together and bringing their take on modern American tapas and craft cocktails to their hometown of Fountain Valley. Today, The Recess Room just debuted lunch offerings in an alternative, quick service format. Lunch will be served from Tuesday – Friday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m
While the dinner menu and its corresponding sit-down service will remain, lunch at The Recess Room features a chalkboard menu at check-in, where you’ll order from a host, take a number, find your own seat, and wait for staff to bring your order to your table. The lunch menu consists of salads, hearty sandwiches, and Asian bowls, all of which can be taken to go – and a signature sizzling platter, with albondigas meatball, longanisa sausage, fried egg, and a French baguette, which is eat-in only.
