More Dining Bargains--Fashion Plates at South Coast Plaza

Seems like the OC can't get enough of dining and drinking deals these days, what with the recent Orange County Restaurant Week, upcoming Happy Hour Week and a ton of other random bargains and promos. Lucky us!

This time it's the Fashion Plates event at SCP, a ten-day affair running from March 20 to 29, during which such posh places as Marché Moderne, Charlie Palmer, Hamamori (pictured) and Pizzeria Ortica will be offering three-course lunches for $20 and/or four-course dinners for $40.

Nello Cucina and Royal Khyber are even throwing in a glass of wine with dinner. Cheers to that!

The event was such a big hit the last two summers that it's now being run twice a year, with lunch added to the roster. And that was before the recession was really deep, so expect it to be hugely popular this time around.
