Unusual menu of California new cuisine. All excellent with outstanding presentation.

Slightly different Mexican food in a rather noisy, but comfortable atmosphere. A nice fire going and the food is a little above the average. Service not the best, but worth a second try.

Still the best brunch, but worth a sunset. Dine while eating a special priced sunset dinner and enjoy, enjoy enjoy. The most magnificent view is worth the price alone.

The newly remodeled patio is a must for lunch. Plenty of shade, and the most magnificent view. A rather limited and pricey menu but all good. The sea breeze mixed with any food would be exceptional. The Hotel dining room is always a reliable place to eat. Food is good though not exceptional. Service is good, and a nice menu to choose from. A nice place to relax and watch the sunset. A must while in Laguna Beach.

A great place to eat if you LOVE Sushi. Outstanding buffet, with a fantastic selection and you do not have to morgage your home to pay for it. The cold salads are outstanding, hot dishes and desserts excellent and enough variety for everyone, BUT SUSHI and crab legs a MUST. Worth the price for just SUSHI.

This restaurant in a strip mall has the best Indian food I have ever eaten. They have an outstanding dinner menu, but the best buy is a buffet lunch for $6.99 served daily. Each and every dish is authentic, so this is for the true food connoiseur who knows Indian food. Always has chicken tondoori with one other chicken dish and various outstanding vegetable dishes. The atmosphere is very soothing and clean, with excellent service. Not something expected in this location but certainly worth the trip. Dinner is from a menu, but each dish is outstanding. Luxurious eating in a strip mall? Yes.

This fantastic steak house resides in a cave, yes you enter by going down into the restaurant. The Restaurant is small, but within these small quarters, you will find excellent service and one of the best meals in town. A steak done to perfection, the salad and dressing superb and the best garlic cheese bread ever. This is not an inexpensive steak house, but it is a little more reasonable than Morton, or Ruth Chris's and certainly as good if not better. Very hard to get in on a weekend but worth the wait. At times past when smoking was allowed I stopped going as this was too filled with smoke to enjoy, but thanks to the new NO smoking laws this makes this a Restaurant of first choice. A must to try.

For a prime rib specialist the times I have been here they have committed an inexcusable sin of serving me meat that had been re heated. This gives the meat a gamey taste that in my opinion ruins any and all beef. The corn is excellent, the atmosphere lovely, service is good, but when I want to eat Prime rib I expect the best. This is too pricey to accept second best. I prefer The Five Crowns or Lawry's. The Best of course if you care to fly, is Simpsons On The Strand in London. When it comes to prime rib, I know my meat. This is not it. Sorry!!

This is a must for lunch and Dim Sum. The atmosphere is very pleasing, with lovely fish tanks and table cloths and cleanliness. Dim Sum is excellent, not as hot as I would like, but certainly authentic to Chinese customers who seem to enjoy this Restaurant. The chinese dishes are all excellent, and you can get many Cantonese dishes here that have disappeared off most Chinese Restaurant menu's. Service is not always the best, and most waiters have difficulty understanding what you are saying. In spite of this, this is definitely a place to try. Dim Sum and lunch is reasonable, dinner is more and does not have Dim Sum, but is excellent. After the meal a wonderful stroll is to the 99 Ranch market next door and to browse and walk off the meal in a atmosphere like you are actually in China. The fruits and vegetables are worth looking at and so is the entire large market. In addition to Sam Woo's Restaurant they have a take out Bar B Que with some excellent choices to take home. Duck, Pork and so much more worth tasting. This is a wonderful eating experience.

Lots of mayonaise and lots of salads all tasting the same. Not really that cheap and not really worth while. Soups are ordinary as well as all the fixins. If you just want lots of any food good or bad, this is your place

This is a rather good well known steak House. Steak is served on a sizzling platter that sizzles with butter (somewhat distracts from the steak) Usually a good steak, very expensive. Excellent service and nice comfortable atmosphere, considering this sort of large strip mall look. If you have a lot of money and like steak, this is the place. There are a few other choices in this catagory worth trying, but this one will not dissapoint you.

A good steak House with a magnificent view. Excellent salad bar, which boasts caviar and authentic caesar salad. Service is O.K with young waiters that hide their lack of professionalism with genuine friendliness. A nice place to sip your wine, watch the sunset and slowly digest a huge salad and good steak. Everything is very good but not outstanding. Certainly a place to bring guests who have not seen the ocean before. Quite expensive but not dissapointing.

This Restaurant has been rated the top by so many books it is going to be dificult for me to make you believe how ordinary it is. The food that is supposed to be French, is more Californian style, with the prices to match the best French Restaurant. Most dishes are trying too hard to be original, and are not that tasty. This is definitely not of the French Restaurants of Paris even the newer ones that use less rich sauces are not of this style. The atmosphere is trying to be elegant and the flowers do achieve that look, however it is difficult to overcome the strip mall look and style no matter what they do. Service is not the best as the waitress I had really did not have a clue as to what she served me or how or what was on it. My meal was a disaster and had to be sent back because it was not what she thought it was, as she related the dish to me. I have no idea how it tasted, but my second choice was a disapointment. If wanting to "BE IN" this would be the Restaurant of choice. If you are a conoisseur of good food, chose some place else.

Located in the old historical area of San Juan Capistrano makes this re modeled home an elegant choice for lunch and or afternoon tea. The menu is quite diversified, and offers a few heartier choices for a mans appetite. The cornish pasty is one of the many.
The tea, with assorted sandwich's are excellent, and offer a few varied choices and prices. All are authentically English and rank as high as afternoon teas at "The Ritz" The salads are excellent. Soup is always an unusually good one, and scones are great. Service a little amateur, but friendly, and the furnishings and rooms are outstanding. You can sit outside beneath umbrella's on a lovely balcony and watch as people walk by this lovely old historic street. A little pricey, but not an every day type of place. This is definitely a special occassion and worth the price and experience.

This is a small garden type Restaurant in the old Historic San Juan Capistrano. The entire cafe is the garden, serving breakfast and lunch under a huge overgrown tree and umbrella's. The food is New Orleans style, and other very creative specialties. The eggs, salads, and french toast is too unusual to describe. The flavors are excellent and the menu changes weekly. A most unusual place to eat with young friendly servers. Unusual menu. This is certainly only for people wanting to explore new things. A great way to start the day and to bring out of town guests.

This strip mall restaurant has probably some of the best Mexican Food around. Breakfast or lunch, a fast self service not fancy place with outstanding food of the best quality. Prices so cheap you could eat here daily. Try the unusual drinks (non alcoholic) with different fruits daily. This is a place to share with all the family without dress up or anything fancy you can share in a truly delightful meal. Portions are ample and help is very friendly. Worth a try again and again.
