15 Best Steakhouses near Laguna Beach

“An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The steaks were absolutely top-tier ~juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The service was impeccable, making the evening feel elegant and effortless. One of the best steakhouses in California! 🤪👌🏼🍷“

“I love Maro's! As a local, this is my go-to spot for fresh, healthy dishes like the green beans and shishito peppers. The empanadas, especially the mushroom ones, are delicious. While I enjoy most of the entrées on the menu, my favorite is the bone-in filet—super yummy! The owners and staff are always on duty and aim to please, making you feel like family. The ambiance is great too, whether you choose to sit indoors or outdoors. For a more intimate setting, sitting indoors is perfect, but if you want to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, the outdoor patio is the way to go.“

“An under appreciated venue for sunset dinners and live music. The service here is fantastic and friendly. The food is very good and incorporates some South African favorites with modern favorites on the menu also. Great pricing and value for the location.“

“Had dinner again with our favorite server, Eleasha. She never skips a beat. She’s always smiling and keeps us on our toes laughing. Love coming to see her when we are in town. Sirloin was great tonight. But we don’t come for the food. ❤️❤️“

“Hi. I was there for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I had fish with shrimp (creole on top) . I sat in the bar & the waitress was nice but I asked her if the entry was spicy & she reassured me it was not spicy. Well, it DID have a big kick to it & I could only eat about 1/3 of it because of that. She never came back soon after she served it to ask me how it was or I would have told her it WAS spicy. Your caesar salad was DELICIOUS & I highly recommend it. And your cheesecake with raspberry topping was good too. Had a glass of wine also. Sorry but I won't be back because the entry I ordered was spicy & told it wasn't . That was disappointing.“

“We went in late, everything else was closed.
My GF was extremely hungry so they took a quick order of a taco first, ordered it and then came back for the order she received her Taco satisfied her hunger. Then the shared food came out, She ate 3/4 of that. She must have been hungry.
The waiter was extremely accommodating, repeated checkups on us.
Wonderful demeanor.
Told manager about our great experience and suggested a bonus for him. I also gave him an extra tip.“

“I recently hosted my son's intimate wedding at Twenty-Eight Restaurant, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out — especially with only two weeks of planning! I’m so glad I found this place. Stacie was incredibly accommodating and supportive, even on such short notice. She truly went above and beyond to help me, especially when I was in full panic mode.

The wedding turned out absolutely beautiful. The venue itself is stunning — we received so many compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the space was. The food and drinks were fantastic, and the staff was professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire event.

I highly recommend Twenty-Eight Restaurant for any special occasion. It was a perfect experience from start to finish!“

““My friend and I had a lovely time on Sunday evening at Bangalow to rewind and enjoy last few hours of the weekend. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive, friendly and polite. I especially enjoyed the wine that was suggested by our server. The only thing that made the evening feel a bit rushed was that every thing came on a fast pace, my bill arrived before I had chance to finished my dessert without asking, which made us feel like we should leave sooner than we wanted to. We started 7 and was out by 8 or 8:15 that I think is a bit too fast for a Sunday evening dinner.
still appreciate the great flavors and friendly staff, and I hope next time I can linger a little longer to enjoy the full experience.”“

“Great food and service. Thanks for hosting my 23rd!“

“On the expensive side, but everything was delicious!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary at Ruth Chris Steakhouse. The service was great, the food was outstanding and they even personalized our menu for our celebration. I'm not joking when I say that that ribeye steak I had was the best steak I've ever had in my entire life at a restaurant... thank you Ruth Chris Steakhouse!“

“Whatta wonderful treat to be at this fabulous place! Such great classic dishes that you don’t see anymore on menus like King crab legs & all the different types of steaks. The lights are low & the service is impeccable. A gem in the coastal cities of the OC.❤️“

“The food? IMPECCABLE. I went with a large group of friends and we decided to try just about everything, sharing around the table. Yum! Best. Idea. Ever. The Ambiance was just as we had hoped - ideal for us to comfortably hang out and yap a bit. It was a perfectly fun and inviting atmosphere. The service? AMAZING. We had Mikey as our server. He was so fun, so attentive, so friendly. You'd think he was just one of our group. He made us feel welcome and watched over. I can't wait to come back to Salt Creek! And, Yes! We are asking for Mikey! So should you!“

“Such a great dinner celebrating my dad’s 92nd birthday. Amazing food and wine. Our server Georgina was absolutely amazing! Thank you for taking such good care of us!“
