“I was immensely grateful to step into a stunning restaurant that exuded elegance, with an impeccable standard of service provided by the professional waitstaff. The warm welcome from the owner at Homeslice Dana Point was truly heartwarming, setting the tone for a memorable evening. As I perused the menu, I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the exquisite cuisine. Every bite felt like a culinary journey through Europe, and the ambiance was akin to a cozy evening abroad, with fellow diners basking in the joy of a Saturday night well spent.Thank you .Fahim Fazli“

“I was at a conference Last month and a I mentioned that I was gonna be going to Southern California for a couple weeks. They told me that if I can get to San Juan Capistrano that I need to stop into the Five Vines Wine Bar and try their 20-year-old pork. They were not exaggerating. Unbelievably good. I also had a burger and garlic fries and if you ask for it, they’ll give you pineapple teriyaki sauce for the burger. 👍👍“

“Im a NYer and finding good pizza on the west coast is a challenge, but aPizza makes east coast style pizza that is thin crusted, crispy and delicious. Great service by friendly staff.“

“Fun place, great beer, killer music, and friendly owner. Christian, the owner, is always friendly, plays great music, and will always remember they type of beer you like. Also they have a great selection. By selection, I don't mean only a variety of IPAs. They stock Belgian whits, triples, stouts, porters, lagers, and of course, the obligatory IPAs. Also have a bevy of games as well. If you see me there, open invitation to anyone who is up for a game of chess“

“Been wanting to stop in for years. Was in the shopping plaza next door and had some time so I took the opportunity. Being early Sat afternoon, there were only a dozen or so customers. The place isn't huge but if you don't mind standing there's enough space between tables. Some food is available (I didn't order any) and they have food trucks some nights as well as entertainment. True to their website claim, there were indeed 30 taps with 30 beers to choose from, some local/regional and others from afar. I decided to sample and got three 5-oz glasses after talking with Dawn, the bar tender, who recommended a couple based on my preferences. I think my favorite was the dark, coffee flavored beer on nitro. There's something for everyone and I'll definitely return, esp with family and friends seeking good brew. I highly recommend the Brewhouse, you won't be disappointed.“

“Board & Brew in Laguna Niguel has become one of my go-to spots, and it's not just the food. From the second you walk in, the staff treats you like family. Every single time, the service has been fast, friendly, and easy - they remember regulars, they're patient when you've got a big order, and they genuinely seem happy you're there.

The food is solid every time. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, sandwiches loaded with good meats, cheeses, and toppings. Doesn't matter if you're grabbing a quick lunch or feeding the whole family, it's a meal you can count on.

Bonus: they always have tennis on the TVs, which honestly might be my favorite part. Perfect spot to grab a sandwich and catch a match.

What really sets this place apart is how much they show up for the community. Youth sports teams, school fundraisers, neighborhood events - they're there. That kind of support matters, especially in a town like Laguna Niguel where it's easy for local businesses to just blend into the background.

Five stars, easy. Great food, great people, and a business that actually gives back. If you're in the area, go check them out.“

“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.“

“We are in the city of Laguna Beach. Stopped a this place to have dinner. Great sandwiches. Had a Turkado and pastrami. Pricing was very, very reasonable! Highly recommended if you are in the area. This would be my new favorite place if it was in Riverside.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere ♥️“

“I like stopping there on bike rides“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. The customer service is above and behind. The street tacos are my favorite. It melts in your mouth so good. We have had many things off their menu. Nothing disappoints. The selection is huge and everything you could order will be the best. Enjoy you will certainly be back.“
