“We came for dinner on Sunday night and got seats at the sushi bar. Chef took our order and promptly rolled the sushi in front of us. He said he is from Northern Japan, and a pro at rolling and chopping the good stuff. We'll be back! 🍣“

“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.“

“The best food in Laguna Beach.“

“I'm an LCAD student and this is my go-to emergency lunch spot between classes! The food is delicious, affordable, and made very quickly, so I can get it in my lunch break. I highly recommend La Sirena to students, tourists, and residents!!“

“GREAT food! Some of the best ramen I've had.
Vegetarian and vegan options - if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions definitely let them know when you're ordering so they can accommodate. One of the included ramen toppings is narutomaki (fish cake) even if you get the vegetarian/vegan broth; so if you tell them what you can/can't have when you order they can relay it to the kitchen :) . The service is great and everyone is friendly and happy to help! It's a busy, cute, place but the bar seating is comfortable and they are quick to get you taken care of.
Shoutout to their yummy matcha ice cream cone as well <3“

“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.“

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

“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 food is very tasty, good presentation! delicious 😋“

“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“

“Phenomenal food and creative, cocktails and mocktails. We got drinks at the bar because we arrived early for our reservation. The bar was super lively, though a bit loud.  For dinner, we were seated at a table overlooking the surf. Such a stunning setting. We had absolutely amazing service from Nicole & Richard. Absolutely everything we were served from the drinks & popcorn in the bar, to our appetizers, mains, and dessert in the restaurant was absolutely phenomenal.“

“This place blew me away. First you are greeted with free valet parking. Next you see the stunning views of the luscious green mountains overhead. The staff are wonderful, very professional and greeting you by your last name. The texture of the menu is the best I have ever felt. The food is fantastic too, large portions and high quality. Be sure to walk around and enjoy the views after eating.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food in a great location. Would definitely go back.“

“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!“

“Thai Brothers was recommended by our Casa Laguna concierge for a late, easy dinner. What a terrific recommendation! We enjoyed the clean, low key environment and delicious food. We were a little disappointed to learn they do not serve alcoholic beverages. A drink with dinner after our long trip would have been welcome.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Pizza was good as always, can’t go wrong with dominos. Our driver Igor was the best. I left a good tip on the order, but tried to give him a bigger tip after order was completed. Unfortunately there is no way to do that, so instead I’m leaving a review. Give that man a raise!“

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

“Mozambique Steakhouse in Laguna Beach brings a unique dining concept to the area by blending traditional steakhouse offerings with South African inspired flavors. The result is a restaurant that feels different from most others in the region while still maintaining a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.

The building itself is impressive and multi-level, giving the restaurant a dynamic layout. One of the most enjoyable parts of the experience is exploring the different spaces inside. The rooftop lounge is particularly popular and provides a great setting for drinks while enjoying the coastal air.

Inside the restaurant the atmosphere is lively and energetic. The dining room has a warm and stylish design that makes it feel upscale without being overly formal. It’s a great spot for both casual dinners and special occasions.

The menu focuses heavily on steaks and grilled dishes, but the South African influences add some interesting variety to the traditional steakhouse approach. The kitchen clearly puts effort into seasoning and preparation, and the dishes tend to be flavorful and well presented.

Service here is friendly and attentive. Staff members are knowledgeable about the menu and seem genuinely enthusiastic about the food they serve. The pacing of the meal is comfortable and allows guests to enjoy the full experience.

Mozambique stands out as one of the more distinctive restaurants in Laguna Beach. Between the creative menu, energetic atmosphere, and rooftop lounge, it offers a dining experience that feels both memorable and different from the typical coastal restaurant.“
