“Amazing beers and wines! Awesome service! Highly recommend!🙂“

“I celebrated my birthday with a friend at this winery, and it was wonderful! They set us up with a cozy private room where we could relax, chat, and laugh. The wines were excellent, and the appetizers were just right. It was a perfect, memorable experience!“

“Love the cellar!!! And it is walking distance so it’s perfect“

“Love this place for a great glass or bottle of wine, and good conversations. Great before dinner reservation place for wine and charcuterie board or after for wine and chocolate. And if it’s a good night, both lol 😂“

“Just ate here today for the first time and the pizza was amazing!! I ordered the bbq chicken and my friend got pepperoni. The crust was insanely delicious and crispy! Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“We didnt have a reservation but got lucky we only had to wait 10 ish minutes and they called us. We really love the pizzas here and get the mushroom pizza with the spicy pepperoni (its both called something different on the menu but thats essentially what it is) and love to pair it off with nice wine selections.
It is mostly high top seating which isnt my favorite but its fine. It is sort of cramped in there but had space enough to get by tables. Its also kind of loud in there but from general speaking noise.“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“We tried the Chicken Marsala, Lobster Ravioli and Gnocchi in VodkaSauce along with the Piccolino dinner salad and Tiramisu. All was magnifico! 😘“

“Valentine's Day at Buona Forchetta - San Clemente never disappoints. The ambiance is warm, the service is attentive, and the food is consistently excellent. I ordered the Lasagna Bolognese and my husband had the Cacio e Pepe with burrata. The lasagna was rich, hearty, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Each bite felt like comfort on a plate. The Cacio e Pepe was creamy, perfectly balanced, and the burrata elevated it beautifully. Buona Forchetta always delivers a memorable dining experience.“

“Best Indian food in town, never disappointed here, super authentic and delicious.“

“Justin is an AMAZING server! We can to McClains with a large group of friends. We were excited to try out the Irvine location, after visiting the Laguna location for years. Jason and Sophia were there a well. We did a tasting and the wines were all fabulous! Justin was so fun and energetic. I never had an empty glass. He was friendly and such a great server!“

“The Pizza Crust here is superb! Thicky, chewy, and crusty on the outside. Service was also great. Very attentive and were accommodating for both our 3 month old and two small dogs.“

“Great wines and knowledgable plus friendly staff!“

“Always great wine and food here!“

“Wow! Super yum to say the least. It’s always great when the new local restaurant hits it out of the park! My wife & I started with the bacon & meatballs appetizer. She then had the fried green tomatoes & French onion soup while I had the ribeye. Delicious!“

“Great place to enjoy wine and the lake🍷🧀🌅“

“Great selection of beers and wines, and I love that they have both wine and beer on tap. The sandwiches and breakfast burritos are really good too!

For our main course, we indulged in the surf and turf, which was delicious and perfectly cooked. We couldn’t resist finishing off the night with a delectable Tiramisu. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“What an awesome venue. David and Joe took very good care of my group. I brought 48 people up from San Diego for a viewing of Top Gun. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food was great and the atmosphere was just incredible. I love the nostalgia behind Rick's cafe and the theater was not only comfortable but absolutely gorgeous. Might people are raving about their visit. I would like to thank David and joe, and the rest of the staff at regency theater. You made our day trip perfect.PS. Cleanest, best smelling restrooms ever!“

“Me gustó mucho el servicio atendieron rápido, personal amable y sirvieron muy rápido y sobre todo la comida muy rica thanks.“

“For a hotel restaurant and bar. It's done very well. Moving on.

The staff is extremely nice and professional. The options are great for quick bites, lunch or dinner.

The food tastes fresh. The drinks are great.

Upon walking up to the bar area I was greeted immediately. Staff immediately gave me a menu. And mentioned a special that day. They also let me know that there was a happy hour. Happy hour!? Can't go wrong there can we lol.

I've had the club sandwich, wings and burger.

Club sandwich. Pretty much your average club sandwich. However the ingredients are fresh. Yes it's processed turkey slices. But that's ok. They're good quality ones at that. And they don't skimp. It was a very large well proportioned sandwich.

Wings. Alright these are the star of the show.
Simple but done right. You know when you just want something good? And everywhere just over does it trying to be different? Not these. Simple hot wings cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Burger.
Ok this is actually insanely good with the bacon.
And their fries are nice and crispy tasty freshness.

So would I recommend this place? Most definitely.
And if you're staying here. No need to go off site for food. The food here is legit.

Enjoy!“

“Their wine dinners are incredible!“

“Their happy hour is fantastic. They serve an amazing osso bucco, unfortunately it's rarely on the menu, but if you give them your email address, they will let you know when it's on the menu. They have a $20 corkage fee.“

“Great food and very pleasant atmosphere, definitely recommend.“

“😁 I love this place! What a fantastic jumping off spot for all of downtown!“

“Beautiful location, great waiter and delicious food! Will definitely come back.“
