At Opah Restaurant & Bar, we serve the finest fresh fish in Orange County. Carefully hand selected each day to deliver the best quality available. The menu is exquisite, featuring edible works of art, that look so good the could be on a magazine cover. Don't forget to try one of our signature Award Winning Martinis. If you wondering how we came up with the name Opah. It comes from the Hawaiian word for Moonfish, which was once viewed as Good Luck by fisherman, & often given away as a gesture of Good Will.

My first timing getting to dine at Opah and it did not disappoint. I went on a Friday night with my wife and another couple. The atmosphere was lively, but not hectic. Our server was very attentive and personable. We are all impressed by the drink menu, which included some unique options. I tried a Bullit bourbon martini. It was well balanced and very strong. For main courses I had the scallops over risotto and my wife had the chef special Mahi Mahi. Both we incredible, each dish was tender, juicy, seasoned just right and served at the perfect temperature. I highly recommend Opah and will definitely be back.

Opah remains a favorite of mine! It is wonderful to have a first class restaurant right in Aliso Viejo. The new ownership is doing an excellent job - fresh, tasty food, appealing menu with old favorites and new choices too, and the service remains excellent.

We went on this night specifically because of the music group they had performing - The Art of Sax. They were so talented and gave an amazing vibe. Our server Jordan was so sweet and took good care of us. The food and drinks were delish. We will be back!

We had a great dinner at OPAH last night. Oysters, chicken meatballs, Maui onion soup, Caesar salad, ahi and salmon were all expertly prepared and delicious.
Joe the owner, Koz the waiter/bartender, and Enrique the manager all made sure we had a wonderful experience. We will recommend OPAH to our friends, and come back again ourselves. Thank you.
