Recent dishes: Blue Cheese Group, and duck leg confit with blueberry risotto, for the Blue Man Group; Maria made with poached tiger shrimp, avocado and spicy mango jam for West Side Story; and beguiling quartets and Great Balls of Fire spicy Kobe meatballs for Million Dollar Quartet. Planned for La Cage aux Folles (Jul. 24-Aug.5): “French-fried” frog legs with espelette lemon and basil sauce, and Valrhona chocolate fondant with Red Hots ice cream. 615 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, 714.429.7640. patinagroup.com
