Introduction
Prices are for a main course at dinner. Restaurants in Orange County are often more casual than in L.A. You'll rarely see men in jackets and ties. Of course, there's also a swath of supercasual places along the beachfronts -- fish-taco takeout, taquerias, burger joints -- that won't mind if you wear flip-flops. Reservations are recommended for the nicest restaurants. Many places don't serve past 11 PM, and locals tend to eat early. Remember that according to California law, smoking is prohibited in all enclosed areas.
