Kimera Restaurant Lounge

Unlike other Dining As Art restaurants (Bistango, Bayside), which feature revolving art exhibits, the modern art at Kimera is built right into the tomato-red walls. We like the simple and classy design: an earthy bamboo ceiling and…

Editorial Review

Part low-key lounge, part globally-tinged restaurant, this eye-catching destination is adding a new twist to the everyday dining experience.

The OC is lucky to have Chris Grodach, who cooked previously at The French Laundry and Montage Resort, as chef at Kimera Restaurant & Lounge. The Ghoukassian family---restaurateurs of Irvine’s Bistango and Bayside near Newport’s Back Bay---seem to have brought in Grodach as a testament to their understanding of upscale tastes and trends around the world. Unlike their other restaurants,...

The menu and Carte are not common. This is very healthy food most of the time.
The service is high level when you consider the price paid.
I recommend the Risotto with Salmon.
Not necessary to book for small parties, the place is big.
Location is perfect for people working in Mc Arthur or UCI

Combining culinary techniques to create a menu full of contemporary fusion cuisine, Kimera can be found on Jamboree Road. Dishes prepared by head chef Chris Grodach and his staff include the Atlantic salmon with wasabi potatoes, the soba salad, and the Hong Kong crab cakes.

A sexy, sharp space great for both power lunches and ladies who lunch. Sleek leather, dark wood, and caramel and amber colors dominate the interior, which also has an unusual canopy of bamboo suspended from the ceiling. The menu features global cuisine (which trendy spot doesn't these days?) with noticeable Japanese, Mediterranean and French influences, and will change seasonally. Worth a try:...

Kimera Restaurant and Lounge, is a nice place to chill after work or otherwise, simply with a group of some friends. Serving a menu that doesn't define a cuisine, this place is for those who love a fusion of cuisines—which is done very well here. The decor is bright and colorful yet sober whereas the ambiance is casual. The restaurant has a lounge area where one can laze around, sipping one of...
