• American • Laguna Beach
Booked 27 times today
In 1912, at the bend of Forest Avenue, 23 year old Joe Jahraus opened the Laguna Lumber Company, he and his father(cigar maker, first postmaster and real estate agent) built the beautiful French Normandy building that is here today. Prior to the lumberyard opening, building supplies needed to be dragged in by mule or floated in on the tides, and therefore, Laguna Beach had less than three hundred permanent residences. After the lumberyard opened, the area began to grow at unprecedented rates, transforming it from a tent town into a thriving city. Laguna Lumber operated for seventy three years, sixty two of them in this location and its' architecture, influenced by Joe's tour abroad in World War I, is one of the most significant influences on the town's aesthetic. Half timbers, mud walls and shingled roofs grace many of the downtown storefronts and homes throughout the city because of this landmark. Today, 384 Forest is home to Lumberyard - a contemporary American restaurant.

    We haven't been here in a few years, and we were excited to see it's improved in so many ways! Still a charming, classic English cottage atmosphere, with solid wines by the glass and great beer options. We both loved our cocktails, Queen Bee and Golden Wreath, and the prime rib dinner truly delivered.. Chocolate souffle was perfect. Tm, our server, was fantastic. We'll be back soon!

    We absolutely love this restaurant!! The food is amazing—be sure to save room for dessert. We were lucky enough to get Betty as our waitress again—she is now like an old friend!!😎 The GM Jennifer spent time with us sharing the history of this restaurant & the family atmosphere the staff has created in their work environment as well as their service.

    Food was extremely slow to come out. Very romantic atmosphere with kind staff but something was very wrong with the organization and preparation of dishes. For a restaurant of this price point, the speed of the service and the general disorganization was very disappointing.
