Costa Mesa is currently doing a Restaurant Month, and later this month, Newport Beach will hold its “weeklong” restaurant roundup Jan. 21-27.
But Irvine's is just before that. It actually starts this Friday and does not have that many restaurants participating.
Though the website optimistically phrases it as “nearly a dozen restaurants,” I count exactly nine.

They are:
- 6ix Park Grill
- Andrei's
- Waterfalls at The Atrium Hotel
- Elements 102
- Kimera
- Meritage
- Zov's
- The Melting Pot
- Il Fornaio
But remember what I praised the Costa Mesa Restaurant Month for? Ease of use? Information on the prix-fixe lunch or dinner menus at a flick of the fingertips on the main page, where one can find it?
No such luck here. Every restaurant on Irvine's restaurant-week site has a link that opens up a separate PDF with the menus. Oh, well, at least there aren't that many of them to begin with.
Before becoming an award-winning restaurant critic for OC Weekly in 2007, Edwin Goei went by the alias “elmomonster” on his blog Monster Munching, in which he once wrote a whole review in haiku.
