“Good food, good prices, friendly staff, great view from upstairs.“

“We had a business dinner at the Loft last night and sat outside on the terrace. The food was wonderful with beautiful presentations for everything. We especially liked the sea bass, the scallops, the citrus garden salad and the vegan version of the bolognese for our vegan guest. It was delicious! The service was incredible. The servers constantly anticipating our needs before we needed to ask for anything. It reminded me what it is like to dine at a very nice restaurant! Absolutely fantastic!“

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰“

“The food was excellent! I will definitely return.“

“The vegetarian rolls are so flavorful and the staff is super friendly! Definitely going back.“

“Quick and fresh. Loved our burritos. Seems to be more of a take out place. There’s two tables out front, one of which we were able to snag to chow down before heading to our appointment in town. The cabbage in the burrito gives it that crunch and the salsa is so flavorful. The steak was delicious too! I added beans and no rice for maximum flavor!!!“

“We have been there many times and love it! One of the best sushi restaurants I know! I prefer sashimi and the presentation is beautiful and mouthwatering!“

“You are paying for the quality of the food, and the atmosphere. My wife and I celebrated our first anniversary here, and it was a wonderful evening. The food was made with detail and care - the quality was evident in the taste.

Carson was our waiter, and he was very friendly and attentive.

The hostess was respectful and helped us with a great seat with the gorgeous view of the ocean. The sunset is a site to behold.“

“Súper recomendado muy sabroso 😋 y muy amables todos 💕🙏“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Very good modern Vietnamese food at reasonable prices just across the street from the beach.“

“Sweet local spot and amazing jalapeño poppers“

“Food was delicious and service was fast. Only outdoor seating and walk up window to order. Perfect spot to grab a bite before the pageant of the masters about 10 minute walk from there! Steak Street Tacos beans and rice were excellent. A little disappointed they had run out of the jerk chicken. We will have to go back to try it!“

“EVERYTHING here is top notch- that’s why it’s lasted forever. It’s my family’s favorite, and feels like home. I love “Harmony “, but their curries are superb as well. Great spot to get out and have a fun meal or for takeout! The best you’ll find anywhere!!“

“I grew up in Laguna beach my whole life and would always pass by here but never got the chance to eat here. I finally decided to stop by for lunch.

The service was quick, friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken karaage bowl which was good. I saw the other food being made and served to other patrons and it looked delicious.“

“This restaurant is obviously one of the tastiest place to eat in the neighborhood. Always when I visit this place I am truly happy. They preserve their very high standard service and the topmost level of meals they serve. You definitely will enjoy this this restaurant. Highly recommended.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“Literally a hole-in-the-wall, but with GREAT Mediterranean food. Limited seating with an ocean breeze. Pricey, but worth it!

Parking: Don't drive to this place. Make your plans to enjoy Laguna Beach on foot, parking in one of the paid garages, and walk to this place. It's worth it!“

“The turkey & Swiss sandwich and tuna salad sandwich were insanely incredible! The dressing on their salad was delicious!!! Shyla was so sweet, a true gem! We’ll be back!!!! ♥️♥️“

“This wonderful little restaurant is the gem of South Laguna. if you're in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop by and try it out! The food is delicious and they offer a wide variety of dishes. I've been going there with my wife for over 20 years and never once had a bad meal. Papa's is also one of the best take outs in Laguna Beach“

“This place was really good. We had a couple of the pork rice bowls and the portion of the meat was small. However, they ask you for your ID and card before you order (for context we say outside). The server said it was because we sat outside and wanted to avoid runners.
I would suggest maybe getting your customers to pay first if you are worried about that. I’m just a bit hesitant when I had to give my ID and credit card.“

“I ordered the Moulin Salad - chicken and pesto- excellent!“

“We ate dinner here last night. Probably the best sushi we’ve ever had. The staff was great as well.“

“The atmosphere is a wonderful and relaxing change from the high tech look of too many restaurants today. It's softly lit and comforting. The food is excellent. The branzino was cooked perfectly, the side dish of french lentils was a treat and the apple pie delicious. It's a treasure.“

“Everything was amazing. Every aspect from all of our meals was absolutely cooked to perfection. The Bolognese was amazing as was the short rib. I make it a point to get duck when I go out because it's not something I often cook for myself and I was blown away by the flavor and textures. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion.“

“we are visiting and just happened upon this little spot for a quick lunch. the service is top notch and the burgers are amazing!“

“This is my favorite place on earth! My second time visiting & it’s just as amazing as the first time only better! I look forward to revisiting for our 10th anniversary in about 3 years. The entire environment makes me feel complete 💝 See you soon!“

“Clean and fast with plenty of out door seating. By from some of the best pizza I’ve had. If we’re ever in Laguna again I’ll be sure to stop!“

“We live right up the canyon and had never visited. Highly recommend!! Great food, reasonable prices, our waitress, Cassidy was so great! She was efficient with everything and just had the nicest personality. We will be back!!!“

“Very long wait times. Terrible customer service and overall, one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The waiter messed up our order and argued with my wife about how he did not mess up the order and continued to argue with my wife, which further upset me and my parents. I asked the waiter to leave and requested to speak with the manager. I had explained everything to the manager and told the manager that because the food came out wrong and the waiter argued with my wife, that it was time to go because the waiter ruined our meal and our experience. After paying for 3 meals that we did not eat, the restaurant manager was extremely rude, told us to leave, and to never come back. We left very angry and upset. This restaurant ruined our entire afternoon. I do not recommend this restaurant because of the terrible customer service. If you make a mistake, own it, and make it right. Not the case here, they just want your money and send you on your way as fast as possible. If you’re looking for a nice dining experience there are far better options than this place.“

“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.“

“I’ve ordered delivery several times and the guys are always nice. Tonight I stopped by to pick up take out and the guys were a delight! 🌟 The Manager hand delivered my order right to me, looked me right in the eye to greet me, ask how’s my night going. Just genuinely warm and welcoming! I so appreciate that!! 😄
And their pizzas are always great too. I’m usually gluten free and for some reason I can eat their regular wheat crust pizza and have zero reaction. I really appreciate this because: no pain and more pizza for less money🍕🏆“
