go to chilis!! – wooooorst service EVER. first, I complained about the service. despite my complaints, nothing improved. in fact, they brought me the wrong entree. Also, their apps and salads suck. please dont ruin your Laguna trip by coming here.
Hostess ruins the evening – Maybe it's because we were there in high season. But I doubt it: The restaurant was only about two-thirds full. We arrived ten minutes prior to our reserved time. The hostess asked us to wait in the bar, which was fine. She told us that she would get us as soon as the table was ready. FORTY MINUTES later, we were still in the bar. I went back to the hostess, who didn't even remember that she had sent us to the bar. She looked at me nonplussed (i.e. confused). I reminded her that we had checked in ... read more
The view alone cannot make up for their average food and bad service – I went there three times. The first time I was not impressed with the service. The second time, I went there for dinner as well (gave them a second chance because of the view), and again, the service was disappointing. The minute I told the waiter that I only drank water, his mood and attitude changed - he was slow and unfriendly. The food was average, bordering on tastless. Somehow my husband talked me into going there for brunch - I must be a glutton fo... read more
Clae's - Fresh food, attentive service. – Just returned from Claes and was leery because of some of the reviews here. But, it was open on New Year's so we gave it a shot. Outstanding. All of the food was fresh and original. The salads were works of art. All of the fish entrees were fresh and savory. The desserts included white chocolate mousse with banana pudding - wonderful. For the appetizers, go with the fish crudo (sashimi) which is a collection of chef's choice. Delectable. A bit pricey, but the view was magnificent and... read more
would recommend – Amazing view, great food , great service. Portions a little small... but very tasty. Not a huge menu, but what is there is delicious.
PRICELESS VIEW – Relax with locals, and enjoy the panoramic ocean views. The food is very good, we have enjoyed salads, steaks and seafood. The bar will impress any libation afficiando. This is the must spot in Laguna Beach for dining with a view. Steps to the beach after dining for picture time!
I won't be back – The best I can say about it is, the ocean view is great during daylight hours and the wine list is pretty good. The food's another story, though. Lumpy, off-tasting soup, sopping wet salad, tough, overcooked shellfish stew. We sent most of it back and they did credit our bill. More than just disappointed, I was shocked at the quality of the food here.
great view and good service – it's a small restaurant in a small yet charming hotel on pch. i remember going here almost every saturday for breakfast buffet (i always wondered why my parents didn't go to the las brisas breakfast...) and i've always enjoyed it - it had a very comfortable atmosphere, good service and great view of the ocean. anyways, they've remodeled a few years back and it's still a very comfy restaurant with great service and view, now with better ambience. kind of pricey though in my opinion, however every... read more
