Everything across the board was incredible, including the food, the service and especially the view. The only thing that was disappointing was the amount of salmon that was provided in the Poké bowl for the price that was charged. Yes, it is the montage, but it seemed a bit slim.

Had a wonderful dinner with my family, including 19 month old daughter. The restaurant was super accomodating with the baby and the food was incredible. We had the rotisserie chicken, I always say if the chicken at a restaurant is good then they know what they're doing. The filet was great too, all the sides and even the seared salmon from the kids menu was cooked to perfection. Salmon skin perfectly cooked with a solid crisp and was not overcooked, really easy to overcook salmon. Wine list was fantastic. Pretty extensive between old and new world. We had the Goldeneye Pinot Noir; a favorite...thanks for a great dinner.

Incredible dinner in a beautiful setting with great service. Every year we have a special dinner here overlooking the pool and ocean. Dinner was excellent. The whipped ricotta and black cod were amazing. The gnocchi isn't actually gnocchi but it was still good. The service was attentive and friendly. We will be back every time we are in town.

Food was okay, nothing special for the price. A Lil gem salad (caesar) was okay with tender chicken. Dressing tasted a little watery and had to add salt. Was skimpy on the parmesean. Over $30 for a salad was not much food for the price. $14 for a small health shot was way over priced. Waiter was great but I never did get the ice for my water I asked for twice. Best thing was we weren't rushed out and they gave us a good little chocolate dessert for my birthday which was probably the best tasting part of the meal. Smash burger was okay but could have had better seasoning. Atmosphere was the best part but not worth the pricey okay food.

Terrible experience. I bring my family here almost every year for Thanksgiving. So many balls dropped when it came to service. I ordered a margarita on the rocks got a shot of tequila on the rocks. I was then charged for the wrong tequila on my bill. We had to ask for bread after being told it was coming. I'm assuming the server forgot to enter our mid courses because the entrees came out first. Once we told them we got our mid courses and I'm pretty sure they let our original entrees sit under the heat lamps instead of remaking the plates because our food was cold upon arrival. That is amateur hour stuff. I didn't complain because I'm sure most employees there don't want to be working on Thanksgiving. This was a very sorry $600 plus meal and I'm not sure I will return for Thanksgiving dinner here. It's a shame because we love The Montage and up until now have had pretty great experiences there.

Appetizers and salad and bread was very good. The main dishes need to be improved. Scallops were barely acceptable and there were only three scallops, but more importantly the sauce was only so-so and the vegetables were not special. The lamb was also barely acceptable.

Been here about 7 or 8 times. Tonight, the lobster tail add on and the salad were the only good things. Other than that, small potions and average food. Service was slow and inattentive. Super let down!

The food, the ambiance and the service is absolutely amazing. Came here for a business lunch and they did not disappoint. This will be my go to place when I’m in Laguna Beach. The views of the beach are breathtaking and there’s nothing like it anywhere in this area!
From the host desk to the food and service, not to mention the gorgeous view, we were treated royally by the cheerful and professional staff. Johnny made our double-birthday celebration extra special!

We ate at the Loft, with drop dead gorgeous views and sunset. We had the tuna tartare , which was good but not as good as Water Grill in Costa Mesa. We had the gnocchi, which was not exciting and nondescript in taste. I had the king salmon which was really tasty and cooked to perfection. My husband had the scallops which were also very fresh and cooked perfectly but sauce and other ingredients in dish didn't work well in our opinion. The service was good, but nothing exceptional. We probably won't have a full dinner here again- maybe just some oysters and appetizers with wine.

The executive chef, Evan, is truly a force to be reckoned with in the culinary world. Every bite we had was delicious. I would highly recommend the filet mignon. The ambiance was comfortable, getting a front row seat to a lovely sunset over the ocean was divine. I will be back as soon as I can. Make dining here a priority.

We arrived at 2:30, they didn't take our order until 3:30, made us wait another half and hour then proceeded to tell us the menu is no longer available. Nothing was done to “fix” the mistake very upsetting
