The Arches restaurant, a Newport Beach institution for nearly 90 years, abruptly closed last week for unknown reasons.
A company representative confirmed that the business on Westcliff Drive closed Wednesday night. The phone s disconnected and the doors are locked.
Along with the Arches fades a relic of Newport Beach history. The old-line eatery, opened in 1922, served the likes of Shirley Temple, John Wayne and other Hollywood stars from its original West Coast Highway building. After moving from that location four years ago, owner Dan Marcheano struggled to keep the restaurant afloat.
Marcheano, who bought the restaurant in 1982, could not be reached for comment.
