What People Are Saying
from Google"Been going here for years and it never disappoints! Gabriel helped us and it was a great time. I got the steamed mussels and clams. Amazing. And the cappuccino which was great but a tad too sweet. No complaints. I am always happy when I come here."
"Rick our waiter was amazing. He was very attentive and friendly. Great customer service. The food was absolutely amazing. Thank you Rick for making this an amazing experience for my daughter and me. I forgot to add, great view if you ask to sit on their deck."
"This one was our favorite place when we visit Laguna, but today we had a bad experience. We finished eating (5 people not cheap) and when we were waiting for the rest of our party outside one of the waiters came out and said “I know you came just for the bathroom but next time you can come and eat” We answered we just finished eating and the guy just said “I did not see you” very unprofessional behavior and even decent enough to apologize. Definitely we will not be back."
"A great little spot with delicious options. The staff outside offering some samples and also inviting you in as you were a guest they were waiting for you to arrive. Really nice spot to stop in when walking in and out of the local shops and galleries. Near the beach and charming."
"I recently had the pleasure of dining at this gem in Laguna Beach, and it was truly exceptional! From the moment we made our reservation, which was super easy and convenient, to the free parking spots behind the building (a rare find in Laguna Beach), everything was perfect. The view is absolutely stunning; it feels like you’re dining right next to the ocean, with a beautiful tree adding to the charm. The staff is incredibly friendly, and we were lucky to be served by Austin, who, despite being new, was outstanding and made sure we had everything we needed. As for the food, it was amazing! We started with their bisque crab soup, which was perfect for the chilly weather. The octopus was delicious and had a texture almost like chicken, and the mango dressing that came with it was so good that we asked for extra. We also tried the ahi tartare, which was delightful. And for dessert, they have an impressive selection of sweets, and if you’re celebrating a birthday, they’ll even bring out a special dessert for you. They also offer a lovely tea service with unlimited hot water, which was a perfect way to wrap up the meal. I’ve been here for brunch, lunch, and dinner, but this visit was truly exceptional. Highly recommend!"
