About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    The new owner Joe was very hospitable and engaging. He seemed very genuine and gave his card to use to reach out if we needed to get in touch with him…like the “old days” showing interest in his customers which is not the norm these days. Really appreciated him and will definitely be coming back more often as the food was very good and service was also great👍🏼👍🏼

    We’ve been coming here for 12 years. The food is probably still some of the most high end in Aliso but we had the almond crusted halibut and the mussels like we usually do. Unfortunately, the food has declined in quality. The service was slow too. I’m not sure if this is the change in ownership or just an off night. We’ll try again since we’ve loved it for so long.

    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!
