Red
Table Restaurant Hosts Event to Support Historic Wintersburg Preservation
Red
Table Restaurant will donate a percentage of proceeds for the entire day’s
returns on Monday, May 13 from 11:30am to 9:00pm, to the Historic
Wintersburg Preservation Fund. Everyone eating at Red Table
Restaurant that day will enjoy a great meal and help preserve Huntington
Beach history. The Huntington Harbour Mall also has announced it will match
the donation by Red Table Restaurant, doubling the support for Historic
Wintersburg. Historic Wintersburg is a century-old goldfish and flower
farm including the Wintersburg Japanese Presbyterian Mission complex,
founded in 1904. It is a unique, intact pioneer farm and mission
site representing Huntington Beach’s pioneer settlement and agricultural
era. Information about Historic Wintersburg can be found at: www.HistoricWintersburg.blogspot.com. The
Red Table Restaurant is in the Huntington Harbour Mall in northwest Huntington
Beach, 16821 Algonquin St., Huntington Beach, CA 92649, (714) 846-4700. It
is a popular gastropub featuring dishes like crab ceviche, Barbacoa beef
tacos, and a variety of small plate dishes with warm cupcakes and broken
banana cream pie to finish. Historic preservation tastes great!
