Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Laguna Beach

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!

We were so excited to visit Splashes since the remodel and we were pleasantly impressed! We started with a cocktail in the new lobby lounge that overlooks the ocean. What an outstanding use of this location that use to be hotel suites. Next it was on to Splashes where we were met by Julian (from Paris) who found us a marvelous table overlooking the picturesque sunset. Julian is a great ambassador for the hotel and Splashes. Our Waiter was Patrick from Buenos Aires, Patrick and his server Jose have been with the hotel for years and were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We started with the lobster bisque, this is a must have when visiting Splashes, it was outstanding! Our dinner was beautifully presented and delicious. I had the sea bass special for the evening, it was tender and buttery and it melted in my mouth. My wife had the halibut which was also outstanding. We ended the evening with a shared Baked Alaska, it was the perfect sweet treat to complete this great evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our experience at Surf and Sands Splashes. We will be back very soon!

Romantic/beautiful place for a date night or even a celebration for dinner! We went for Valentines Day. They had a set menus which was all delicious, the price was a little high, but nothing too crazy. Drinks were delicious and service was near perfect. They were late on some drinks and food but our server Rocky made sure we got those quickly after she noticed they were taking a little long. Even provided us with free dessert for the wait on some of our food and drink but overall good experience!

Recommended by two trusted locals and boy were they right! Fabulous place for the 30 and older crowd. Great menu, great cocktails and outstanding wine. Top quality and yet not crazy expensive. The pizza crust is from heaven! Super nice staff. Fun vibe.

Lovely dinner. Highly recommend, valet was attentive as well. No complaints
