   Our waiter, Ricardo, was fun and knowledgeable. We did not feel rushed at all. He explained the brunch menu thoroughly and made sure we were enjoying our meal.

   Booked 1 week ahead of trip. Arrived 1hr early. Put at the absolute worst table. In the kitchen basically. My boyfriend asked the sweet hostess to help us with moving our table. We were then seated outside. With several available seats. She was a doll!! We were served the wrong food but it was ok. Drinks GREAT!

   Extremely poor service and incredibly slow (no fault of the servers — see below); mediocre food; poor overall value on 2/15/25. I am a patron of Las Brisas for 24 years. I have had wonderful experiences periodically over the years. In fact, on 2/14/25, the day prior, we had a wonderful lunch with outstanding service for $150. On 2/15/25, however, it was the absolute worst. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Can’t beat the location. We were celebrating my wife’s bday with our close friends. We were forced to order from the Brunch menu. Fine, but the base cost of $52/person + drinks + add-ons ultimately resulted in an almost $500 charge for 4 people, and I don’t drink alcohol! The food was uninspired, and the service was unbearably slow and inattentive. They had only one waiter and one assistant covering the entire outdoor patio. It was not the fault of the staff who worked incredibly hard running from table to table attempting to accommodate their customers. Ultimately, lunch took over 3 hours. We had 30-minute periods between courses and drinks. Outrageous. Management is to be blamed. I will not be returning to Las Brisas for anything more than drinks and appetizers to soak in the stunning views.

   Won't come again. The quality of the food is terrible, and the ingredients are surprisingly bad. The waiter was very friendly, but it is difficult to explain the menu clearly in English.

   Las Brisas use to be my go-to as a kid/teenager growing up in OC. I'm not sure at what point the restaurant was purchased by a larger Corp that runs pretty subpar chain restaurants, but the quality has really declined over a 20yr period. The past 3 times I've been, food was not great, and service has progressively gotten worse. Our last visit, we were subjected to one of the most disrespectful waitresses I've encountered. She knowingly served and ignored our table despite not having a busy section and had the audacity to ask us, with an attitude, if we were ready yet, after leaving us for 30-45+minutes unattended. I will say that Las Brisas management did their upmost to make the situation right but they were unable to rectify the situation, as our orders continued to have mistakes or were completely forgotten. We had attended their special event the year prior where they overbooked, had people waiting in the hallways and ran out of meals early on in the evening. We thought it was a fluke at the time, but clearly there are some major issues with this establishment. I will not be returning to Las Brisas at all, as I've been consistently disappointed with the food and service. If you do choose to go, I would stick to drinks and an appetizer and don't bother going to their special event dinners.

   This place is always the place for a beach restaurant experience on the cliffs of Laguna Beach. The food and service are top notch.

   Valentine's Day experience was everything anyone could hope for! Great food, excellent service and you can't be at the view.
