Lobby Lounge at Montage Laguna Beach

Horrible. Anna was the worst waitress we have ever had. She took forever to wait on us. When she finally did she promised us waters and snacks. Never did see the snacks after being promised them 3x. Never got a refill on the water I finally got. As soon as she set our drinks down she was asking how we wanted to pay. Ran 2 of our cards and claimed they wouldn’t work asking us to pay cash. Wouldn’t give us any type of reciept. It was the oddest experience. Never again. So sad. Was hoping to return for brunch, but we will go elsewhere.

Each of the appetizers on the menu was very tasteless... one of them was 2 raw asparagus cut into thin strips - disgusting, then we ordered tuna tartare which was also terrible and we left it at that. The service was arrogant!!! Nice place, beautiful view, unfortunately not the rest

Nice place for afternoon coffee. Good dessert, great cappuccino, and plenty of seats.

I thought that I had experienced hospitality prior to my stay at the Montage and my drinks at the Lobby Lounge. I was mistaken. I have felt more loved and at home at the Montage, and Lobby Lounge, than I have in my entire life. The staff here is the absolute best in the world, bar none. The level at which this staff operates is truly a blessing to be able to behold. Everyone was the absolute pinnacle of service, however, Sadie and Kris went above and beyond my wildest expectations. The warmth and hospitality that these employees provided was something I didn't even know existed in this world. I just got back from St. John a week ago, and that didn't have a damn thing on the staff here. This is the best bar in the world, with the best staff in the world, with the most lovingly crafter cocktails and conversation in the world. Bar none. I will frequent this establishment until the day I die. I'm personally agnostic, but GOD BLESS the staff at the Lobby Lounge and the entire staff of the Montage. Changed my life.

Great service, pleasant and cozy atmosphere

The food was not fresh, seems like it was ordered from a bakery and brought in. There were too many sweets and not enough savories at the tea. Tea was not refreshed after it got cold. It was $500 for three people to have what amounted to half a sandwich each and too many stale sweets.

Ukrainian cocktail waitress offered us free champagne for making us wait for a 16-person party to place their orders and get their drinks, and then renegged when we asked her to cash in on the offer…like why even say anything in the first place

Nice classy ambiance but extremely overpriced. I guess that’s part of the vibe… everyone knows they are drinking overpriced cocktails ? The cheapest drink on the menu is the lemon drop martini which is $21. There’s a $50 and even an $80 cocktail if you’re into that sort of thing! But it’s a really big place with an amazing view, fireplace, lots of different outdoor and indoor seating… couches, comfy chairs, tables, etc. Live piano player. Fun to watch people filtering in and out of the hotel.

Took my client here to an afternoon tea treats. It was relaxing and she enjoyed it very much. Great tea selections and sandwiches. Overall we had a great experience here.

Listening to Steve Siu, the piano prodigy, play, while sitting in the beautiful and relaxing Montage Lobby Bar is a very special treat! Remember to tip well! You can order alcohol beverages or tea from the lobby bar, in addition to light food and/or desserts from the menu. I’m not sure if they’re still serving high tea in the afternoons, but it’s definitely a delightful experience! The balcony area at the center of the Lobby Bar is definitely the place to be at sunset!

Overall our experience was just fantastic. Ambience is next level, service top notch, food and drinks up to par. Highly recommend

Came here with my friend and had a great time. We ordered a bottle of Syrah which was perfect! Paired well with 4 cheeses and the charcuterie board. The service was quick and efficient. There is so much space in this place and many seating options. It's beautiful and clean but definitely be prepared to spend money.

Good vibe and nice view

Beautiful, relaxing, visiting here is a must!
