It is a lovely spot for beach front dining but damn that dining room is always freezing because of the door that is always left open out to the patio. The food is good but not enough to justify some of the pricing. One very annoying thing I find is that coming through the lobby to the restaurant the music is ungodly loud. Service can be very good but they get rattled easily. Not enough to keep me away forever - I have lived in Laguna for 55 years and am familiar with the hotel since it's early days even before moving nearby.

Lovely restaurant with a wonderful view of the ocean. Saw many dolphins near the surf. It was cold and the door was left open but they brought us blankets. I had fish and chips which were not cooked to a doneness that I like. (I should have sent them back) Waiter took our plates before we finished snacking on our fries. Overall it is a nice restaurant but a bit disappointed in my lunch.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Incredibly, I booked the table too late in the evening and we missed the sunset. The staff is just lovely and the portions were extremely generous and I was surprised. I’m very particular about cocktails and I would say this was a nine out of 10, Definitely Craft.

$175 per person. The tiniest appetizer which would not have filled a teaspoon of the four entrees we ordered one salad was very good; a blue cheese wedge salad. Three ordered the Halibut entree which was dry and tasteless with no noticeable flavoring; spice or salsa or sauce. One guest ordered prime rib; no yorkshire pudding; no au jus and no horseradish sauce. No bread or butter. And the best part yet; the dessert choices were apple pie or pecan pie and when it was time to serve 'the ovens were not working'. They had to substitute what they had on hand. It was DRAFTY and cold with thoughtless servers going in an out of the dining room leaving the doors open each time. Not a pleasant Christmas eve. A memorable and unpleasant and ridiculously expensive evening. Dinner for four at $900 and that was with a total of two glasses of wine and one cocktail I have lived in Laguna for 40 plus Years. My husband was a bellhop at the hotel in the 1940's. I hosted his memorial service at the hotel 20 years ago when it was regal and old nostalgia grand.

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. The valet service alarm made the experience stress free as Laguna is not easy to find parking.
