Kimera Restaurant and Lounge- Irvine





Kimera, sounds like an Asian restaurant of some kind from its name. However, it actually serves mainly American style cuisine. Their happy hour menu is served only in the lounge and bar area and includes food dishes ranging from $5 to $8 each. Also, well drinks are on sale for $5.
It's worth noting that Kimera is in the middle of a business district and requires parking in a garage, which gives you a ticket that you can have validated for free parking after eating. In addition, there is no dress code, however it is also notable that the majority of customers are dressed in nicer clothes, given that the atmosphere is more like that of a lounge than just a generic bar.
Well drinks include Rum and Coke and Vodka and cranberry juice (pictured). Both of which are good tasting and strong at the same time.
$5 entrees include garlic fries, $7 include different pizzas and for $8 you can get a small steak.
The Carne pizza and shrimp pizza were tried by those at my table and were both a good size and were of a gourmet quality.
If you're looking for an upscale place in Irvine that has a unique and upscale atmosphere, then hit up Kimera. But if you're looking for your more laid back college hang out, then pass on this one.
