16 Best Steakhouses near Laguna Beach

“Overall a great experience. Perfect for a date night. We were given an option of a lively or quiet experience. We chose the first option. I personally have never eaten a place like this before so it was an experience in itself. Food was good! Plenty of options. Shout out to Rafael our server! He was exceptional, & made us feel comfortable.“

“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.“

“Maya was awesome! She was our waitress and bartending for bar patrons and was working her tail off in the heat to keep everyone happy and doing an outstanding job! Greg was awesome as well giving us recommendations of great beaches to bring my granddaughter! Jenny got us out of the hot sun by moving our umbrellas around to block the sun! Front staff nice enough to accommodate us on the rooftop with i Initially was supposed to be a party of six and wound up being a party of eight! Food was great and love the happy hour and the drink menu! I always come here when in town for my family visits! See yall again soon!“

“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.“

“i've been a big fan of yardhouse happy hour since i started going to it back in 2021 in Long beach. now that i dont frequent the one in LB, this costa mesa location is the closest. the happy hour here is probably my #1, great selection choices, and overall, great beer selection too. highly recommend the chicken tenders, pizzas, and poke nachos!“

“Bourbon Steak exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and truly first class. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—the steaks were cooked to perfection, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The sides and desserts were just as impressive, and the atmosphere was elegant while still feeling comfortable and welcoming.

The entire experience felt special from start to finish. If you’re looking for an unforgettable steakhouse with exceptional food and outstanding hospitality, Bourbon Steak is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Incredible flavors that are well balanced. Nothing was too sweet or salty. I'm amazed that I enjoyed every dish, and it surpassed my expectations despite reading mixed reviews. It's been a while since I had dishes at this caliber and quality. It's better than a good amount of restaurants in LA.

Everyone was extremely friendly and polite. Due to the holiday weekend and it being a Friday in a business area, it was fairly quiet. We decided to celebrate my birthday because the menu intrigued me. I liked the idea of modern cuisine influenced by SE Asian flavor and was curious to see how everything would be. We shared the scallop crudo, salmon crudo, sausage croquettes, Spanish octopus, wagyu hanger steak, broccoli & greens, and mixed mushrooms. Portion sizes are more generous than I thought too so we ended up taking ~1/3 of it home.

We shared the warm chocolate cake dessert which was rich with chocolate flavor, and they gave a pound cake berry & whipped cream dessert on the house for my birthday which was very kind. Seriously, kudos to Chef Jay Lacuesta and the team! I haven't found a nicer restaurant in OC that I want to go back to, and I've now found it! I'm so glad that I chose to celebrate my birthday there. Thank you!!

PS: park at the Centerpoint parking garage and get your ticket validated. They also have valet if you prefer, just pull right up to front of the restaurant.“

“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 was excellent - I had a fillet mignon and my companion had the halibut. Our server was attentive, but not overly so. We sat on the patio and it was pretty loud and boisterous. I will request the dining room for our next experience at the Bungalow. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant - thank you!“

“Food was fantastic! Had the Miso Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and it was amazing. The lobster bisque was very good too!! Service was also great.“

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

“Service was not up to par for what I'd expect at this place. Waitress missed one of our sides and never came back to see how our food was.

8/30/26 - update. Went back today and Jared was our waiter who was excellent. We had a great ribeye and Sea Bass. Had stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer.“

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

“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!“

“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!“
