Tapas Restaurants near Laguna Beach, CA

“We've been coming to The Wine Gallery for a couple years. I have never had a bad meal. The fig bruschetta, meatballs and arugula salad for starters. The seasonal gnocchi is AMAZING! The staff and servers are exceptional. And you must order from the outstanding selection of wine. We often travel to Italy so having an experience like this so close to home makes us thankful. Cheers to the chef!“

“Wifey suggested we make it to the Sawdust Festival so while in town we decided to get some dinner. Located near all the hot spots Tango offered convenience with outdoor dinning. First off Niko was our server. Very nice gentleman who was very attentive and informative. Made us feel like we tourist in his homeland of Argentina. Now the food. My expresso Negroni well that was a let down. Not for me. Wifey had a sangria albeit that it’s called something else. Tapas were good. Highly recommended the asparagus wrapped with prosciutto. The steak skewer definitely. The issue and only issue I had was the traffic and the smell of fumes. Not much can be done about that maybe next time we will sear indoors.“

“Tiny burrito joint with taco in the name, lol. Literally one of my top two burrito joints in the universe. If you are nearby, you are foolish if you don’t stop by and get a tasty meal.“

“Went to Cozy Pine for date night and we enjoyed it. Really feels like you are in a different place, inside a restaurant. Decor, cocktails and food were all great. Definitively worth stopping in.
Food is mostly “snacky” compared to Bacchus outside. We did not have a reservation and we’re still able to get seated, likely because we arrived early in the evening.“

“Food was great and service was quick“

“By far the BEST Burger & Fries I have had in years. Service was super friendly and accommodating to substitutions and questions. Never felt rushed, food was hot and delicious. Had out of town guests and without planning to ended up here for lunch. What a nice surprise this place was. Will be back soon!“

“Gabriel the manager, waiter, bartender, my everything, was outstanding. We were a last minute party of 8. He was attentive, anticipated our needs, accommodating, just over and beyond excellent customer service. The food was great. Oscar assisted us as well and so friendly and great customer service. Highly recommend and thank you for a wonderful experience.“

“This is a great new place. The owner is very nice. You can reserve tables. They have live music playing on Fridays and Saturdays and videos on the screen in between. I had a great flatbread. I will be returning to check this place out again.“

“Muy buen servicio al cliente“

“This place was surprisingly cool. They don't have a TON of options, which I found strange for a wine-forward place, but the options we got we enjoyed. Unfortunately, there was only one person working there who I guess is in charge of also making food (which I don't totally understand?) so service took forever. As a result, we were charged happy hour prices, which was nice.

We went here waiting for a table next door for pizza, so for that reason it's definitely worth checking out. They had a movie playing on one of the walls, which was cool. And the vibe itself is cool, the inside has a lot going on and a lot to look at. We sat outside, which wasn't the best as it's right next to a parking lot but certainly still a nice option for outdoor seating.

If you're coming to this shopping center to have dinner, I do think it's worth stopping in.“

“Note: reservations are a must during the weekend!

We decided to go there on a whim after a great massage next door and we're lucky enough a different party didn't show up to their reservation. We waited outside while one of the servers/hostess figured out somethings. Communication could have been better but alas we were seated and promptly served. Food was delicious! The Totoya roll is a must, it just melts. The salmon skin hand roll was super crunchy, caterpillar and eel and avocado rolls were smooth and velvety. Not too pricey but we also didn't order alcohol.“

“Awesome place for sushi 🍣“

“The food was delicious every bite of it 👍😄🥰“

“Such nice service and delicious sushi, udon/soba, sake, yam fries, edamame and tempura! (pictured is the Tekka naki and Unagi and California , crunchy eel roll, and spicy tuna roll!“

“Filling and well prepared!“

“Absolutely great food and incredible music. Both rooms offer variety of music and definitely invites you to hit the dance floor to show off your moves. Overall great atmosphere either for some dancing classes, fine dining or social dancing.“

“Feels like you’re in a NY loft bar and privileged to have the only rooftop view of south Orange County. Bartenders are top notch and make you feel welcome. Food is well planned with a cultured menu emphasizing the Asian diversity of the area. I cannot get enough of the calamari and the Spectrum Sunset cocktail. Also, a lovely hostess named Sasha greets you upon arrival which just sets the mood.“
