- KKathrynSan Diego •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe host and the Maître d’ were friendly and helpful when we first sat down the young woman next to us did not seem to know how to keep her screeching, loud voice down in a public place. We moved inside and the rest of the experience was absolutely fantastic. The waiters were helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The food was exceptional, particularly the calamari to start and the main courses of halibut and scallops were outstanding and presented well with different vegetables than you usually see. The martinis we enjoyed were perfectly chilled with tiny bits of ice crystals floating on the top. I requested and got blue cheese stuffed olives, which I love all in all a moderately priced restaurant for Southern California, generous portions, and a wonderful night out. Will be back!More info230 Forest AvenuePrice: Moderate• Californian• Laguna Beach•4.9

- FFuymeVIPLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst time visitors to this restaurant but apparently original location is out in SD Parking would appear to be the parking structure with validation but for a limited time and street parking Reservation on open table or walk in Hostess stand is located outside the entrance with a small ramp leading to it Pretty white stone exterior Indoor and outdoor dining - unsure if dog friendly space but the outdoor space was well lit and heated Open kitchen to see enclosed by glass Variety of wines and house made drinks available Vegan vegetarian GF options House made pasta, appetizers, baked items, salads and desserts Ordered the Brussels sprouts and make your bucatini pasta with guanciale and house buona forchetta sauce Our server Omar was friendly efficient approachable and explain all the things - the food runner and busser was just as friendly and personable Food came out quick Pasta was fresh, hearty, good bite, size of dish easy to share, the house sauce had a peppery cream richness but not overpowering Brussels sprouts were a favorite with the glaze and crispness The puff pastry dessert was not overly sweet with vanilla custard and fresh fruit layered / easy to share and satisfy a sweet tooth without feeling guilty Will certainly return to try other things Good spot for group outing, celebration, date night, try something new, and catch up with pals Wonderful spot, indeed!More infoBuona Forchetta Newport BeachPrice: Moderate• Italian• Newport Beach•4.7
- JJudithOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoA++++ Last night was my second visit, and it will not be my last. We requested the bar area. It was perfect for my two sons. It was her first visit.. I appreciate that the restaurant has different seating areas that you can try out and decide which is best. Food was amazing. Scallops and Chilean Sea bass wee cooked to perfection. My son’s medium + rib eye was right on point. We both wish they would offer the Porter house option.  Their cookies and cream gelato cake was a perfect ending.  I believe our waitress had too many tables,therefore it wasn’t the service level i experienced on my first visit.  definitely the best seafood and steakhouse. I believe in Orange County.More infoOcean 48 - NewportPrice: Very Expensive• Seafood• Newport Beach•4.9
