17 Best Seafood Restaurants in Laguna Beach

“So much fun! Came here for my birthday and they did everything right- food, ambiance, staff, etc“

“Yukino is one of the kindest, most hardworking people I’ve ever met. She and the team at Sea Butter Laguna Beach treat me like family every time I visit. The quality of the sushi is amazing, but it’s the warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps me coming back.

Yukino goes above and beyond for every guest—she’s attentive, gracious, and genuinely cares about the experience. Sea Butter is lucky to have her. Highly recommend this spot—not just for the food, but for the heart. ❤️“

“Súper recomendado muy sabroso 😋 y muy amables todos 💕🙏“

“The Lumberyard located in beautiful downtown Laguna Beach is a great place to have lunch or dinner. There is a new $16 lunch menu and I decided to try the fish tacos. There was a choice between salmon or halibut for the tacos which included shredded cabbage with a pink cream sauce and a side of black bean and corn salad. I chose the halibut for my taco and it was cooked perfectly. It was a generous portion of fish in each of the tacos so it could easily be split with a friend. The service was excellent. Our orders were taken within about five minutes of sitting down and the food came out quickly after we ordered. I would recommend the Lumberyard if you are visiting Laguna Beach. You will need to have reservations during the Art Festivals or when there is a play at the Playhouse.“

“A true gem of a restaurant, offering delicious food and a delightful atmosphere perfect for a date night. The culinary experience is matched by the ambiance, making it an ideal spot for a romantic evening.“

“This by far the best Poke bowl restaurant in SoCal! The food is always fresh and the staff is really polite and helpful if you want to try something new. It's always clean and has simple and mellow atmosphere. You won't find a better selection and service any where else!

Parking: Underground parking is free when they stamp your ticket. Always space to park.“

“Me gustó mucho el servicio atendieron rápido, personal amable y sirvieron muy rápido y sobre todo la comida muy rica thanks.“

“This place offers delicious, fresh food that is quickly prepared, healthy, and affordable. The staff is incredibly nice as well. I would love to see a location open in New York! It would be a fantastic addition to the city. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a great dining experience.“

“This is my favorite place on earth! My second time visiting & it’s just as amazing as the first time only better! I look forward to revisiting for our 10th anniversary in about 3 years. The entire environment makes me feel complete 💝 See you soon!“

“I used to live in Laguna Beach which is filled with great dining, but Dizz'a As Is has always been my absolute favorite, and I go there every time I visit. How many restaurants opened almost 100 years ago and are still in business? It is unique, quaint, eclectic, intimate/cozy, and the food is delicious. Not in the crowded area and not trendy, but timeless; simply special. I love Dizz's!“

“Very long wait times. Terrible customer service and overall, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The waiter messed up our order and argued with my wife about how he did not mess up the order and continued to argue with my wife, which further upset me and my parents. I asked the waiter to leave and requested to speak with the manager. I had explained everything to the manager and told the manager that because the food came out wrong and the waiter argued with my wife, that it was time to go because the waiter ruined our meal and our experience. After paying for 3 meals that we did not eat, the restaurant manager was extremely rude, told us to leave, and to never come back. We left very angry and upset. This restaurant ruined our entire afternoon. I do not recommend this restaurant because of the terrible customer service. If you make a mistake, own it, and make it right. Not the case here, they just want your money and send you on your way as fast as possible. If you’re looking for a nice dining experience there are far better options than this place.“

“I highly recommend Las Brisas. I was in California and caught an Uber to Laguna. The Laguna driver recommended Las Brisas. After a day on the beach my co worker and I walked up to the resturant. Our waiter Stan was so personable and knowledgeable. The food was great. I would for sure come back. Being able to see the ocean from our table was a bonus.“
