Best Restaurants for People Watching in Laguna Beach

Sushi bar chefs are outstanding: professional, friendly and always responsive to the customers’ questions and requests.

Every time we visit Laguna we have to eat at Mozambique. It never dissappoints. The menu has some unique items you can’t get everywhere. The Durban Curry is my husband’s go to dish. The service is always great too. We had Greg as our server for a second time and he’s awesome.

We made a reservation on 2/13 as an early vday and birthday celebration for my husband. When we arrived there was one other table at the restaurant. The experience was intimate, the selection was abundant, and the service was excellent. The flavor was perfect. Definitely worth the money.

Ambience was great (we sat on the patio, there were heaters and a fire pit), our server Jenny was delightful, and the food, both presentation and taste, was wonderful! (We had the truffle fries, steak & tuna sushi, and the molton lava cake.) The patio wasn’t very busy, as it was a Monday night. Everything was top notch, right down to the glass of champagne when we arrived! Love that! We’ll definitely come back again!

Made the reservation at Fin but likely didn’t need to because we were the only people seated near the sushi bar and the Hotel Laguna restaurant had plenty of seating with the same menus. The food was great and with all of our plates cleaned we had zero complaints! The charred edamame and Sunset roll were my favorites!!
