- JjulieVIPLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe love this place! It is always consistent, the food is amazing, and the drinks are top-notch! Ambiance is nice too. Our server, Leslie, was very personable and fun. We only wish there was a location closer to us in San Clemente, but it won't stop us from coming back.More infoStarfish Laguna BeachPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Asian• Laguna Beach•4.8
- MMichaelVIPOrange County •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoReally enjoyed our Saturday brunch today. Got there at 11am opening time. Service and food were excellent. I had the Shakshuka and a cinnamon vanilla latte, both very good. My wife had the everything scramble and a pistachio latte and she enjoyed those. We’ll be back!More infoFennel Kitchen & BarPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel•4.7
- AAliciaVIPLas Vegas •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOverall this place is always a grand slam. As people who live out of town and frequent the restaurant it is always a good experience. We made reservations to dine for Valentine’s which did not disappoint. My only gripe if you will came down to the daily specials, we asked our waiter what the daily specials were knowing they are usually amazing. When asking for the items, we also inquired about price of course as that ultimately lies on the decision whether to venture off the normal menu if the value is there. The special was a filet and lobster tail.. we asked the price, our waiter said he believed it was $82. Seemed fair considering the ribeye on the menu was $62. Upon receiving our bill, we were shocked to find the special was actually $115. Considering the smaller steak paired with the lobster tale the value just didn’t match the pricing and had our waiter been consistent with the pricing when ordering it would have changed the outcome of my bill. Overall a little disappointed in the value, but definitely not the food itself or the ambience.More infoSapphire, Cellar.Craft.CookPrice: Moderate• American• Laguna Beach•4.8

- CCraigOrange County •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAmazing! At first, it’s a little off putting that you are not allowed in the restaurant until your seating time. However, once you get in, you appreciate why you were made to wait, and the experience is worth the wait. The attention to detail and freshness of each bite is exceptional. A very intimate setting. We cannot wait to go back.More infoRebel OmakasePrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• Laguna Beach•4.9
