Let’s face it, Monday’s can be overwhelming. But now you start your week off right by treating yourself to dinner and drinks while saving 50% off your bill at Katsuya by Stark in Laguna Beach.
Starting this evening, Monday night is Local’s Night at the sleek, contemporary yet comfortable restaurant known for its indoor-outdoor, family-friendly dining and traditional Japanese Robata selections prepared over an open flame, signature cocktails, and an incredible kid’s menu.
The entire menu will be half-off every Monday from 5 to 10 p.m. through Dec. 31. It’s your chance to enjoy Monday night football on Katsuya’s flat screen televisions in the bar, or relax and indulge in the dining room sipping favorite cocktails such as the burning Mandarin and the Katsuya fresh; or ordering signature dishes like crispy rice with spicy tuna, yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, and miso-marinated black cod; wine, sake, beer and dessert items.
