Early /or late dinner AND lunch/brunch places in OC for those munchy moments or as the mood strikes? Not the big chains or fast food joints (but not totally eliminated either). Hmmm hmm yum?

My favorite restaurant in OC is the Greek Island Grille. It's a very inexpensive hole in the wall, with the best Greek food I've had outside of Thessaloniki. I go there 3 times a month. www.thewholepita.com. AMAZING melizanosalata and hummas appetizer, and much much more.
