Opah Description:
Opah attracts a lively and professional singles crowd because of its casual upscale vibe and its rocking live bands on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. The large bar with glowing tables and friendly servers hosts a bevy of babes and dapper guys who are more than happy to watch the game and go along for the ride. It is perhaps a good thing the noisy bar scene eclipses the food. Chef-partner Marc Cohen has shown skill at his fusion-style 230 Forest Avenue location in Laguna Beach, but we are disappointed here. The ingredients aren't as fresh as is possible in Orange County and the flavor pairings no longer overwhelm, especially for the price. We do enjoy the spicy and sticky sweet rock shrimp wonton nachos at the bar with a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc. The seafood is certainly tender and fresh enough to our liking. The desserts shine brighter than the entrées; try the well-chosen cheese plate and the vanilla crème brûlée.
