17 Best Steakhouses near Laguna Beach

“I will definitely be returning. I'm very happy to say that this restaurant is worth the price tag. The food was excellent, one of the best steaks in Southern California, atmosphere great, and service outstanding. I don't feel there's anything you can go wrong with on their menu, from the bread service, to the Mac n cheese, to the aged rib eye, and smoked old fashioned I left more than satisfied.“

“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.“

“You have to go here between 6-8 pm the sky the view is just amazing, We opted to try the Halal menu it's limited but there options where unique to try. The seabass also with saffron is one of the most amazing fish dishes. Just a small suggestion everything you bring out looks amazing. But the sambosa didn't get love. Maybe a giant flio dough under the 3 small ones for $18 to make it look pretty ? But the peri chicken is a must try I think they are the only ones In so cal to have it“

“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.“

“The Eddie V's Newport Beach location is by far our favorite restaurant. We have always enjoyed our dining experiences here for many years. We are beyond sad to hear that this location is closing over the lease renewal with The Irvine Co. We hope that both parties can work this out. It would be a terrible loss if Eddie V's Newport Beach closes.“

“I used to be a skeptic about those chain steak houses, believing they were overpriced and couldn’t cook steaks to perfection. However, I was pleasantly surprised this time. Every dish was delicious, and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The smoked ones were particularly delightful. The service was excellent, and we had a great time overall.“

“My wife and I won a gift certificate to this restaurant a few months ago, and decided recently to use it. WOW! We were stunned that we had never heard of this place before, especially given how frequently we eat out. We were so impressed by the cocktails and food that we have gone back 3 times in the last month. The whisk(e)y selection is world class and the creativity of Leo the bartender is definitely to be experienced! The service is polite, accommodating, and friendly. We are big fans of Alley (spelled phonetically). She is sunshine in a pretty package! If you like creative food or just a plain steak, this is The Place to eat! Enjoy!“

“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.“

““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!“

“Great customer service from the hostess to our waiter. Food was delicious. We Ordered the 4oz petite filet with shrimp. The sides are definitely stable. We ordered the lobster mac, sweet potato casserole, creamed spinach and a Cesar salad. The drinks were good and they do not skimp on the liquor. I ordered the pomegranate martini and by boyfriend ordered the Rocks Rita. I recommend everything we ordered. Great night, great dinner, great ambiance and great customer service“

“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!“

“Love ❤️ birthday there. It was fantastic.“
