Leads Group 5 Open House
The Leads Groups are the Chamber's premier lead generation and referral networks. These popular referral groups have helped hundreds of professionals gain a competitive advantage in the Irvine and Orange County marketplace, as well as build lasting professional and personal relationships. Leads Groups are comprised of 25 - 30 individuals that meet twice a month to help each other with selling techniques, presentation skills, recruiting, strategic partnerships, referral exchange, professional relationships and more. Participation in these groups is an exclusive yet complimentary benefit of membership. The Leads Groups follow a non-competing format and are limited to one person per industry and/or profession.
Monaco Italian Kitchen Grand Opening
Monaco Italian Kitchen is the fourth concept by veteran Orange County restaurateur Tony Monaco. Located at Irvine?s Eighteen Main, the full-service restaurant pays homage to traditional Italian cuisine with a modern flair, honed by Executive Chef Karl Pfleider. The menu features classic staples like wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, house-made pastas, high-quality meats, and indulgent desserts, along with regional Italian specialties such as Panuozzo sandwiches. A central wraparound bar showcases a creative craft cocktail program, highlighting Italian varietals, aperitifs, martinis, and more. Upon opening in April 2025 at 2000 Main Street, Suite 300, Irvine, CA, Monaco Italian Kitchen will be open daily for lunch and dinner. For more information visit MonacoItalianKitchen.com. The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, the award-winning restaurant specializing in classic Mediterranean fare with a modern twist, is now open at 3965 Alton Parkway, Suite B, in Westpark. The restaurant is owned and operated by experienced entrepreneur Dany Askar and his family, who are focused on delivering delicious food with legendary service. The fast-casual Mediterranean eatery elevates convenient dining with an extensive selection of fresh, authentic dishes that fulfill the brand?s mission to Live Your Life Deliciously. Using recipes passed down for generations, the menu includes popular classics like The Great Greek Gyro and Australian lamb, steak, garlic shrimp, or chicken Souvlaki plates, all prepared in-house using high-quality ingredients. Many old favorites get a Mediterranean twist, like Feta Fries, named for the Greek cheese that tops them.
