Opah: 50% off Mondays

[irvinehomeowner]

I was just recently told about this and so we went last Monday because we love their food (and they have decent kid meals).

It was great, 50% off any food item, appetizers, salads, even the $4 kid meals were $2.

It's very crowded, get your reservations early (I think you have to call a day ahead because when we called they were booked... otherwise it can be a 45 minute wait). We were told they have been running this since November and they don't know how long they will continue to do so (they just ended their Prix Fixe specials).

It's a bit froo-froo for me but all their food is great... especially the seafood (we recommend the Sea Bass and the Crusted Halibut). I usually get the sandwiches because they are cheaper, but at 50% off, you can splurge on everything. And the desserts are awesome (Chocolate Souffle and Chocolate Croissant).

Not sure if they still have the 50% off IHO mentioned almost 3 years ago..

but dined here recently and was impressed.  We went with the OC restaurant week specials.

Wife really enjoyed this, I thought it was decent as well

Edamame ravioli, loved the sauce, the ravioli filling was just ok

One of the two entrees on the OC restaurant week menu, hangar steak, wife enjoyed it, but I like this more...

That's a good cut of trout (the other entree).  Crispy skin, creamy mash, perfect mild flavor to show off the fish texture..nicely done

Two choices for dessert, we each got one, this was a funnel cake and some fruit sorbet

some sort of rum pudding and beignets

$30 per person, we were stuffed.  Pretty good value since the portions were all decent.  Paid $17 for a half bottle of cab that went well with the meal.
