Best Waterfront Restaurants in Laguna Hills / Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a beautiful and classy atmosphere. The views are simply stunning, adding to the overall elegant ambiance. But it's not just about the looks – the food is absolutely delicious and well worth the price. What's even more surprising is how affordable the prices are for such a high-quality dining experience. Our server, Tony, truly made our visit exceptional. He was amazing – friendly, communicative, and full of great energy and a positive attitude. He went above and beyond, offering to take our picture and even guiding us to the perfect spot for the best shot! I've never had a waiter do that before. His service was truly outstanding. This restaurant offers a complete package: beautiful setting, delicious food, reasonable prices, and top-notch service. I will definitely be going back!

Thank you for a wonderful evening, we are so delighted to be back for an amazing dinner after 14 year of marriage. Hotel Laguna is where we tied the night and our experience yesterday evening was so lovely. The staff were friendly and our server brought us a surprise dessert, so kind! The food was fantastic- I had the chilean seabass and my husband had the gnocchi. We truly enjoyed our valentines day dinner. Thank you!

Excellent ocean-view dining. Delicious food, high prices, and valet parking add$$. It is nearly impossible to beat the view and food quality!

The Wind & Sea is a beloved long time restaurant. Great location and always great food.

Very popular patio for Sunday brunch. It was a nice day and nobody wanted to sit inside (more than a few “priveleged” types bypassing the hostess to scout their own tables!) so the servers were scrambling. They’re obviously used to this! Pro tip: make a reservation. Very good brunch menu with a complimentary mimosa. Be sure to stop at the bakery counter on the way out!
