Items that bring you to a restaurant are things like ambiance, service, location and food. Las Brisas has them all. The ambiance is romantic, the location, on top of Laguna Beach overlooking the ocean doesn't get any better. The service is stellar and the food is top notch. There's nothing else to say except if you haven't yet been there, you are definitely missing out on a immersive experience that, in my opinion, is second to none. I don't live in California but I do not leave the state without a visit. You should too.

Food was very good. Had some cheese and meats to start and the board was very well presented. Our server, Staci and her support staff were spot on throughout dinner. I would also recommend leaving room for dessert. Looks of great choices to share.
