“Went to the blessing of the bikes and met up with friends that I've been riding with for years. One of them and I realized we had been riding up there for 48 yrs. We even had a high school reunion there last year. Always good live music and great food. Everyone that works there is amazing as well. I will continue to make that a destination for the rest of my life.“

“Had a nice evening at Dominicos on the lake this evening. My wife and I had reservations and were fortunate to ask Kory for a patio table which he accommodated. Michael took us to our table and was very kind and professional. Pedro came by with our bread and water and said hello. He is one of the hardest working individuals at the restaurant. Eddie our server came by and took our orders with a bottle of Austin Hope and bread to start. My wife ordered a chicken breast salad and I had the chef's special stroganoff which was amazing. Unfortunately my wife's salad came out 30 minutes after my stroganoff which was a cardinal sin in the restaurant business and we mentioned it was not acceptable. Eddie apologized and we also had Steven, the GM, come by and also apologize and ensure the salad would be out shortly. The salad was delivered, of course after I ate my entree and Steven dropped off and apologetic gift certificate for an appetizer during our next visit. We also ordered an additional beef stroganoff plus an order of meatballs to take home for tomorrow. We undertake things happen and it's certainly nice to see the restaurants busy again but a party of two receiving their entrees 30 minutes apart is not conducive with quality service. I am guessing the chef either misplaced the order or overlooked the obvious and we hope next time we will not have such issues as the restaurant is very good and in a fantastic location. Michael also came back around and stated he was concerned about this mishap and would look into this. As a retired government administrator and former restaurant manager in my college days I expect the simple things like entrees being delivered at the same time to be in sync with quality service and dining. We will be back and see if in fact this was an isolated incident. Good food and ambiance plus. As a writer for Trip Advisor, Yelp and Google I am graceful in my comments and specific in areas needed improvement. Thanks you.“

“?? Oh my pizza-loving taste buds! ?? I recently had the pleasure of devouring the most mind-blowing pizza at Brooklyn City Market in Laguna Niguel. Let me tell you, as a proud pizza maestro who has owned several pizza places in Colorado for 14 years, I thought I knew it all. But boy, was I wrong! ??‍?After sinking my teeth into a slice of their heavenly creation, I had to admit defeat. Brooklyn City Market's pizza is on a whole other level! ??? From the first bite, I could taste the passion and expertise that went into every cheesy, saucy masterpiece. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and bursting with flavor, and the overall pizza experience was like a symphony of deliciousness. ??I have to hand it to them, this pizza has completely shattered my belief that my own creations were the best. Brooklyn City Market, you have won me over! ??❤️ If you're in the area and craving an out-of-this-world pizza experience, don't miss out on this gem. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! ??"“

“oh try the Salmon is so delicious and juicy“

“We dropped in at Pho Saigon last night and had a wonderful takeaway. The food was typical Vietnamese, light, fresh (in the sense of flavour and beautifully cooked. The service was swift but not pressured and the takeaway was parcelled neatly and securely. We will return...“

“The BEST kept secret around!!!“

“We celebrated a family birthday on a Monday night. The manager, Erick made it so easy and convenient to order food in advance and staff made sure it was all served as we arrived and it was warm and delicious. I'm surprised more people don't know about this great pizza parlor. Thank you Erick and staff for making it so memorable. We'll definitely be back.“

“"Express" without sacrificing quality; this is fresh and top-level Mediterranean, best rice I've ever had, can't forget the flavor...I drive out of my way to come here and it's worth the effort; I initially decided to try it due to the fact that it's the most highly-rated Mediterranean restaurant in the area, and I've now become a loyal customer.Mike (the owner) is so warm and friendly, he's a wonderful host and even gave me Persian caramel tea on the house on my 1st visit.It was late at night but the naan bread was very fresh, as was everything else... When I told Mike how impressed I was to have such fresh bread just 30 minutes before they closed, he told me they bake it fresh with every order.The Feta Cheese & Walnut Salad was wonderful with fresh herbs and veggies and paired well with the Mixed Rice Special (a mixture of lentil, sautéed onion, raisins, dates, mixed with white Basmati rice).The seasonings of the rice were outstanding and I honestly couldn't tell you where to find anything comparable.On a subsequent visit I had the Vegetarian Eggplant Stew and while it was also seasoned and prepared very well and I have no complaints, the salad with rice are going to be my usual.

Vegetarian options: Feta Cheese & Walnut Salad, Vegetarian Eggplant Stew, Mixed Rice Special:A mixture of lentil, sautéed onion, raisins, dates, mixed with white Basmati rice.“

“Great qualities that we appreciate from a restaurant is friendly workers, the workers know their menu and can give suggestions, and is great at communicating with their customers. Having Eleasha as a waitress, you will get that for sure. Thank you for helping me and my girlfriend during our first time here. You were awesome!“

“Yummy, relatively inexpensive vegan fast food at The Trade food court on Michelson. Less expensive than other vegan fast foods, with extremely generous portions. I went with my omnivorous son, and he also enjoyed it. We’ll be back!“

“Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, no exaggeration. I consider myself a chicken shawarma connoisseur. I’ve tried many of the middle eastern restaurants around LA and even down into San Diego. Food trucks to brick and mortar spots. This is my favorite shawarma hands down!! I’m also a big fan of pickled turnips but a little picky about them. Theirs are PERFECT.“

“Fantastic. Everything was fresh and flavorful! I got the Tandoori Chicken kabob plate with a very refreshing & flavorful salad. The chimi churri was a nice touch to the chicken full of citrus and an almost floral like spice! I ordered the pomegranate rose pana cotta for dessert which was also very refreshing. These days it’s rare to find a restaurant that’s worth the money and using high quality ingredients! Bryan at Rosetta Coffee company recommended this place to me and so far I’ve learned that his palate does not lead you astray! Go see Bryan for some top notch spicy chai he makes everything fresh/homemade himself just like this place does! If you have a discerning palate and 9/10 prefer eating at home these days then you need to come here! I recommend this restaurant to people who appreciate fresh flavors and quality over quantity! (Don’t worry you’ll be satisfied You will not leave starving!) I am so grateful for places who prioritize fresh herbaceous flavors & high quality ingredients it truly is a rarity thing today! Also appreciate the cleanliness and good jazz music they played! 10/10 for presentation, service and food!“

“Date night with my husband was amazing. Food, drinks and service were spectacular. We had been here once before several months back and our server Johnny not only remembered us from previous time but was great and attentive. Highly recommend this place.“

“Such great service from this young man and will definitely return“

“I highly recommend that you stop to eat here whenever you can. Amazing five star food. Staff is amazing, welcoming and friendly and helpful. Amazingly clean restaurant too. You will not be disappointed unless you pass them by and don't stop in.“

“Best Italian food I ever tasted, excellent service, friendly staff and great ambiance.“

“My review is a bit biased and I will start out with this. My current partner and I met here on our first date. Our waitress was so sweet and kind and gave us lots of time and space. I think she knew it was out first date. The food was good. It's a bit small but cozy. The place is well decorated and clean. The waitress was welcoming and friendly. The bathrooms are small but also clean and fresh smelling(we went in the middle of July). It's a great place. Although I will say I had zero cell signal. This place is lovely and will definitely hold a special place in my heart. ? D+A 7/16/23“

“It is a very small restaurant with about 4 tables inside, 6 tables outside and a small bar. Do make a reservation as they fill up quickly! We sat outside in February but it was fine because they have lots of heaters! You can also get a partial view of the lake from their patio.The service is prompt and friendly and food is delicious.

Parking: Lots of free parking available in the plaza lot.“

“Everything about Rose Cafe - Lake Forest is fantastic. The food is great, from the pastries to their actual breakfast items like their burritos. The coffee is amazing. All staff members were very kind, friendly, and helpful. I will certainly be back, again and again, for another overall great experience.“

“I'm not an Indian expert, but I can say for certain that nothing I've had here was disappointing at allThe butter chicken is especially good on Rice scooped up with a big piece of Naan

Kid-friendliness: They are so incredibly friendly with our boys every time we eat there - truly a welcoming atmosphere“

“This place is adorable. We've been here a few times now. Food is good and drinks are great. I mean who wouldn't like googly eyes on their sandwich bun and coconut drink?!“

“Excellent vegan food! Great staff and owner!“

“What a great place to eat, talk, and enjoy, food made fresh when ordered, the atmosphere reminded me of Sunday dinner, with family and friends. I would highly recommend this gem.“

“My wife and I always enjoy our dining experience at Bru. If inclined, the cocktails are recommended. We each had a drink, and enjoyed the as part of the overall experience. We've tried several options on the menu and have been pleased with the taste and quality of our meals. Friendly service with a good atmosphere. This place is in our regular rotation, and we plan to return.“

“Plan being to go today and read the recent 3 reviews but have been in their buffet multiple times. My daughter love their shahi paneer and palak paneer with Bhindi and I like their butter chicken to go. That is all happened very frequently up until last 2 weeks. I will share another note after I am done today with my and 2 of my friends and family!!“

“Seriously some of the BEST Food I've Eaten in a long Time!! I'm truly going to tell everyone to try this place. Wow. it's Healthy.. affordable & DELISH!!!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The food and drinks are fabulous. We had reservations and the only reason I gave it four stars is because when we walked in someone walked by said be right there and 10 minutes later they came back to seat us. We've been there for brunch which is a must. Dinner is more of a family style. We did the 24 oz for 4 people and was a perfect size. The chef's presentation is artistic and plating is beautiful. Our waiters have been awesome. Very attentive. Farm to table and a must try!“

“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!“

“The food was delicious and portions large for the price. We loved the unique offerings and creative menu! Definitely will be back!“

“Loved their chocolate desert!“

“We started with the beet salad. For the entree, we had the Chilean Sea Bass with the pistachio couscous. We substituted asparagus for the carrots and got a side of Brussels sprouts with the sweet chili sauce. Everything was cooked perfectly and was very flavorful. The tables are a little close in proximity to one another which can be a little distracting if there is a louder conversation taking place at the table next to yours as it was in our case. I'm guessing that Friday & Saturday nights could be quite loud as a result. We went on a Wednesday evening. We'll definitely be back again.“

“Sushi over the years has changed. It used to be about Japanese people running the place, now its about the right person for the job. I had a lot of problems here, in which Don and Hiro addressed. Alberto the chef is really good at what he does he is also very kind. I had my sushi tasted a bit fishy this time around, and there was, "other,'' problems but a great place is not about having great food all the time, but the service. They really take the time to change and adapt. This is one of the best features about this place. I really think anyone coming to Yama should be honest because they do accommodate. Their customer service is very good in terms of compliance, Lee is a great waitress and because of her I can come back here. Their water levels of chlorine was high but Don said it was the Macha product. When I asked for hot water, with more investigating it was actually the water source. However they promptly fixed the issue and when I came back around. It was great. Green Tea was very good. They really took efforts to address the problems that I was having. Not to mention, Kenny the son whom has great interpersonal skills help mediate any situations although he studies all day and night working part time to help his father Don run the restaurant. This is a gem of a place and deserves more recognition. Good family owned business and its right next to the lake, can't compare to the local sushi places, this place is the most consistent. Chefs treat this job as life or death! They're all sweet men!

Dietary restrictions: Poke bowl, Henry made it dangerously salty. Came back and wanted to get it from Hiro because that was what the waitress recommended, but seemed to busy. However I got the Poke bowl again and it came out little fishy this time and couldn't finish it. The Toro handroll was also on the fishy side. But still good, didn't get sick.“

“Had dinner with cousins that live nearby, who come here often because they love this place. My wife and I love this place now. The is traditional Italian style, that hits the spot. The sauces are great and pasta cooked perfect. When near Mission we will be back. And the dessert cake is to die for.“

“ "The Chicken Parmesan was Amazing, with Creamy Broccoli Soup and a side Salad.. Garlic buttered bread, Simply Yummy ? Thanks to the Waiter and pleasant Busboy, my meal was comforting. " Their suggestions of Coffee and Chocolate Cake topped my expectations ? Thanks Guys “

“Great food! Great service! Never disappoints!“

“Went there yesterday for the first time. Ordered Oxtail Pho and filet mignon fried rice. Both were very delicious. The Pho was amazing, it was not as salty as other Pho restaurants and the filet mignon fried rice was one of the best I had. The service was great and the prices were reasonable. I will definitely go back.“

“Visited this place during the weekday for dinner. It was super crowded and had a lively ambience. The food service is quick and the food is amazing. They also have sushi bar which you can sit on if you like to watch the chefs making sushi.They do not have a lot of vegetarian options. We ordered Tofu with rice, avocado sushi roll and mango lady sushi roll. The food was delicious. The waiter was not able to understand English and so had to run back a couple of times to make sure the request was correctly entered.Overall we had a great experience and will surely visit again.

Vegetarian options: Not a lot of vegetarian options. They do have 5 sushi rolls which are vegetarian and a couple of other dishes. That's it.“

“The Chili Fries, and the Stand Burger is the Best.“

“Booked a reservation on a Monday evening. Great service, especially by Raquel. Food selection was good with two fresh fish options. Good selection of beverages. We were not rushed to order our food and we were able to linger after our meal was completed. They have a Happy Hour and offer outside seating. Will return again!“

“This place was a lot of fun to take my daughters to. They have build your own bowl with oats, Chia, yogurt and sorbet and a variety of healthy toppings. Chelsea who works here it was super friendly and helpful. This is a great place to go to for a quick snack or for breakfast or lunch.“

“I eat here often the food is healthy and tastes great and the service is fast and friendly“

“The staff here is excellent!!!! These guys are always running around doing their best to serve people. I FORGOT you okay it the front so bring cash for a tip. I felt I didnt5 leave as much as I sgould have, I'm sorry. Really awesome and welcoming. Haven't been here since I was a kid. Totally fun for the nostaliga love. The salad bar was awesome, glad to see it open again. Good prices for everything as well. Life you get tons of healthy options here! They still have the cheese toast! That was my treat with the salad. The food is good and simple. Perfect spot for picky eaters, I saw plenty of kids getting food and actually eating it.“

“Best, new family owned place! My first time trying Korean BBQ...had the spicy pork...soooooo good! Environment was very welcoming...and customer service was awesome! Kuddos to owners Maggie and Earl...you’re doing a great job! #customerforlife“

“Amazing and very authentic thai food. Had chicken pad thai, soup, salad and spring roll (lunch special). Everything was so good. We are experts when it comes to thai. It's our favorite cuisine and have had the very best and worst in the world. This is a very cute and traditional thai restaurant. We will be back soon to try many other dishes. Go there!“

“Such a great atmosphere and delicious food thoughtfully made with great taste, love and presentation.“
