30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Laguna Niguel

“My first time won’t be my last! We ordered several different appetizers and a couple of different entrees. What a marvelous experience! The food was so delicious and with so many choices, it was hard to choose. The service was perfect, attentive but not too much. The art on the walls is lovely and appropriate.“

“My family and I usually love Jizake and have been to this place multiple times over the years. However after last nights dinner not sure if we will come back. The first issue is that the server forgot to bring us 3 of our appetizers. I also noticed that my hot sake wasn't very hot and that they have trimmed down the size of their rolls. During the meal it became obvious to all of us outside that they were using a wifi speaker and whoesever phone it was hooked up to must have been moving around since the music was going in and out. Lastly while asking for the check I instructed the server to take the appetizers off our bill since we didn't receive them. He said he would and when he came back I was given a hand written bill with the break down. To his credit those appetizers were shown but not charged. I totaled up each line item and everything seemed correct as the subtotal was $170 with tax total should have been $183.17. However after taking my credit card he came back saying they totaled our bill incorrectly and apologized. Our new printed bill after charging my credit card didn't show the pricing break down for all the items but it appears that they added back in the money for the appetizers as with tax it came to $196.11 plus tip. By this point we just wanted to leave. After getting home we started not feeling so well. We don't usually have any bad reactions to sushi so maybe it was some sort of cross contamination issue. Either way I would caution everyone while eating at this establishment.“

“This is the best Hawaiian Breakfast location in Laguna Niguel!! Well done!“

“Absolutely loved it. great taste good portion. Tuna and salmon chunks are pretty decent personally I think it’s tastier than poke n half they have a sushi like thing in the tofu skin two for six bucks that taste good too, but I didn’t like the Hawaiian shrimp hot plate.“

“We 🖤 Handel’s!!! Such a fun experience every time. 👻 👻 👻“

“Lovely experience Charming All around and great food 💕“

“Didn't look like much from the outside, but inside is very nice. The couples tables tho, are way too close together and so cluttered. There isn't enough room for your plate and drink.....but....food was delicious!

I had the halibut with mango salsa. OMG.... Delicious!! My bf had the shrimp n pasta. He said it was very good but the halibut was better. You absolutely need to try the beet salad. So many flavors. For dessert we had the lemon cheesecake. It was mouth watering.

Service was too rushed. I got my beet salad and 4 min later I received my dinner plate.

Even though there were a few hiccups, we did have a pleasant evening and we'll be back.“

“Very customer service friendly“

“Went on an errand and noticed this new place. I ordered a coffee and almond croissant - the croissant was crispy and buttery and so very delicious. On the way out I noticed they had bread so I took home a loaf. Like the pastry it had a lovely crispy crust (they must have very efficient ovens with steam) and was also very tasty. Two thumbs up!“

“It was like a self service restaurant. Place order on kiosk, self grab drinks, and utensils. They bring food out to you. Love the fresh pasta, falafel was flavorful, hummus was not to my liking, pita was so good. Lemonade is perfect! Pricing to portions is reasonable. <$35 for two plates and refillable drink.“

“This place has amazing food, great drinks and the staff is phenomenal and fun! There is no Irish Pub in SoCal that compares!“

“The rennovated patio is perfect for nice dining experience. The food was delicious. The singer for the night was quite entertaining singing songs from Tony Orlando, Neil Diamond, Jimmy Buffet, Jim Croce to name a few and ended his set with Elvis songs, white suit and all.“

“What a fabulous place. Went there to celebrate mutual birthdays with my BFF. I loved everything about this restaurant. Our bartender was fabulous, our meal, Branzino.. delicious, eye appealing, beautiful presentation and enough to split We met the owner who spent ample time with us as we asked questions about his journey opening the location, his background and the concept/vision for the restaurant and we met the GM. I loved the ambiance, open and welcoming and they have a mercado with authentic product. Next time I'm going to the pizza bar with some more birthday girls!“

“Very authentic! If you want The taste of authentic Greek food...highly recommended! Don't forget the Greek beer! Ya Mas!“

“Very good stuff! Being picky and in the same type of business, it's difficult to find. Great job guys. will be back next time I'm in town“

“Shannon is a sweet & smiling server who made my visit for a quick drink special.“

“10-Star Vibe: Phenomenal Beers, Amazing Sandwiches and Salads, and an Amazing Staff

If you want a masterclass in how to run a community-focused establishment, look no further than Board and Brew off Alicia Parkway. I go there literally six or seven times a week, and I can tell you firsthand that the environment they’ve built here is incredibly rare for this area. Instead of the loud, obnoxious crowds you usually run into at local bars, this place has a super chill, friendly, and conversational vibe. It is packed with regular locals every single day, and the staff actually knows the customers by name. It feels like a neighborhood hub where everyone is welcome.
The operation is kept beautifully simple and executed with absolute perfection: cold beers, great sandwiches, and potato chips. Their drink selection is phenomenal, especially their IPAs, which are the top sellers alongside a high-quality lineup of pilsners (like LLS) and refreshing seltzers. Hands down, they have the cheapest beers in town. Their daily happy hour from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM is unbeatable, serving up crisp, cold pints for just $4 to $5.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the sheer speed and dedication of the crew. The management team sets a spectacular standard, led by Denny, the manager, and Hector, the assistant manager. They also keep the establishment incredibly clean. They are constantly Windexing all the windows and doors to keep them clear of fingerprints, and the floors are always kept clean, which clearly demonstrates that they truly care about the cleanliness of the place.
The kitchen staff is incredible—they make fresh, homemade sandwiches at an impressive rate. Depending on the crowd, you can literally have a fresh sandwich in your hands just a minute after you order. Every single cook is completely dedicated, working long hours with a genuine smile on their face. The front-of-house staff works tirelessly every single day to keep the energy high and the service flawless. Huge credit goes to Julia, Stephen, Alex, Reagan, Sarah, James, Jesse, and Vanessa for working very diligently and making every visit excellent. If you want great food, a relaxed environment, and the best beer prices around, this is the place to be.“

“Located within OC Local Taproom, google will direct you to BK Bistro. Amazing food, probably in my top 5 best tacos I’ve ever had. Every dish HIT. Will def be coming back this week and the week after that and probably for forever. Staff were kind and dope, super attentive.“

“First time dining in this Mendocino location, first time ordering the Farm Club sandwich 🥪, have to say, the Farm Club is probably the least I would recommend from their menu.

As to me, Mendocino Farms stand for gourmet sandwiches, but we can probably buy lots of similar sandwiches from any other shops. So to me, the Farm Club is a NO.

Having said this, we ordered again Prosciutto and Chicken, still very good 👍.

And this location at the east side of the South California is worth visiting when you're in the area.“

“Quality food at fair prices! Can't wait to come back & actually sit down in the nice dining area. 👍🏼“

“Stopped in here for a quick lunch and had orange chicken, black pepper beef and some various dim sum items. Everything was good, the chive dumplings were HUGE and so flavorful we went back two days later to order more. Staff were very friendly, service was quick and the outdoor patio was nice.“

You definitely get your $ worth with the size of the donuts. The atmosphere is great if you want to chill and relax, and the staff are all attentive and friendly.“

“always fresh delicious friendly staff.All you can eat Monday and Tuesday 👍“

“I love getting the harvest bowl here! (Although personally I sub out the goat cheese for an egg) Its been my treat dinner during finals and they always deliver. It is a bit pricey for a salad, but they are seriously good, and good for you so I dont mind spending a bit more. The restaurant is usually empty or has 1 to 2 people which can be a bit odd, but I usually get my salads to go so I don't mind.“

“Food is always good. Staff is friendly and always so clean“
