“Not just your local dive off the 5fwy, Shooters provides free billards Mondays for industry night and daily life advice from amazing bartenders like Emily and Nicole who steal the regulars hearts with a wink and a smile. I was just thinking how many times I left with a smile and butterflies in my heart. So now that we have established this "go to" spot, come on down near the Costco and amtrak to see for yourself!Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of accessibility for ppl with wheel chairs!“
“My second time here and have to say the first time here wasn't a good experience food wise it was really salty but I figured it was just a bad night. 2nd time around was a complete opposite my wife and I got the Filet Mignon and was perfectly cooked mash potatoes were also a good choice I really liked the place and vibe will definitely return as the service was excellent.“
“Bloom is the #1 spot for brunch! I love the location, the food, and the ambiance! The people who work there are also exception, especially our server, Makenzie! She was friendly and informative about the dishes. I highly recommend the waffles! Will definitely visit again “
“Overall experience was great- our waiter was not overly attentive once he found out we would not be drinking and felt frustrated that we were not ready to order immediately once our final party member arrived. The food was really good and it was a bit noisy initially but quieted a bit as dinner went on.“
“We love Ironwood and frequent it regularly. One of the draws is Coty. An energetic, sweet, fun and always smiling manager. We will give the new guy a chance .... But I just can't see him being a positive addition. We tried to engage him last night ..but he just lacks the personality for a restaurant with so many young and energetic employees. Time will tell.“
“My family and I have been coming to peppinoes and then here for over 20 hours and I can't tell you enough how amazing the food is and how amazing the owners are! I get the pasta fajole soup and it always makes me better when I'm sick and or when I'm in any type of pain. It's my miracle soup. Now that I am keto they make it for me without the pasta so I can still enjoy my favorite stuff. My daughter loves the Alfredo pizza and everything is homemade and so fresh! I love love this place and you won't be disappointed. What are you waiting for go put in an order, I know I am! ? ?????“
“I have been to my fair share of Ramen restaurants, and I must say this one takes the cake for being the most aesthetically pleasing. It gives a vibe to the decor, from the bowls to the vase water, and even the chopsticks are mood.As for the food, I ordered a classic California sushi roll, which was excellent, along with their House Ramen bowl, which was fantastic. It had bok choy, egg, and pork. The pork was all tender and just delicious. Sometimes, when you go to restaurants for Ramen noodles, you’ll get a hit or miss, but I will say for this restaurant, there was no hit or miss; the Ramen noodle was just perfection.As for the drink, I ordered the Galaxy, which is butterfly peas, strawberry, lemonade, and mango jelly, and I think something else, but I cannot remember it was great. It was excellent.The service was good.I would say spending a moderate amount of money here for this restaurant, especially given the area it's in.Overall, 10 out of 10.“
“Homeslice is perfect! Great variety on the menu however not overwhelming or all over- just delightfully dialed in. Pizza is super flavorful but not heavy. Atmosphere is energizing and “homey” at the same time. Staff is super attentive, warm and patient.“
“This turned out to be a great find. Everyone loved their food. It is clearly made with care and the recipes are delicious. Good portions at reasonable prices.They have a good size patio area as well as plenty of indoor space. We loved the fun repurposed seating like church pews and theater seats.Special shout out to a seriously spicy bloody Mary.My wife only at half her breakfast burrito as it was quite large. She loved the roasted green salsa.Myself and others enjoyed their take on shrimp and grits. Such a great combination of flavors.Not that many people there for Sunday brunch time which was surprising as so many people wait in line for brunch at other places not nearly as good.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, just curb at sidewalk“
“We went here for dinner. It’s a laid back beach town atmosphere; a little loud but that’s to be expected in a beach town. It was peak rush hour and service was a little slow which we knew would happen. The food was very good. We had coconut shrimp, wagyu burger, mushroom and truffle pizza. All items were delicious. Reservation highly recommended, especially on weekends.“
“Go to Franco's for happy hour. You'll get a decent margarita for $7 dollars and some tasty apps.m at decent prices. I am a sucker for a delicious large dinner plate. I always get the Tampiqueña. It takes me forever to finish my dinner but I enjoy every bite. The service is always prompt and friendly. It can get loud later on in the day which is why I enjoy going in before 5pm.“
“Angelina's is absolutely delightful and delicious! There's a lot of good food in Irvine, but this is a spot I definitely want to go back to. My chicken entree was some of the best cooked chicken I've ever had; it was a huge cut that was succulent and juicy. I was a bit worried about it being flavorless since I got the Calabrese sauce on the side, but even without it the taste was decadent. The salumi board and cheeses were also a hit, as was the burrata. I definitely stuffed myself with cheese and do not regret it in the slightest. I will say my drink wasn't the most exciting, but for one drink I definitely felt like there was a good amount of alcohol in it. Service, especially with drunks was also a little bit slow and they were bringing out drinks 1-2 at a time, but we had a large party on a week night and it looked like the bar only had one worker so it wasn't a big deal, I am understanding of that! All in all I really liked this spot and want to try more of their menu.“
“Overall a good experience. Great service and nice ambience! The food was decent but nothing special. Definitely worth trying but would not say it's a MUST go. Not sure if I'd go again but maybe I'll try their other menu items!“
“My boyfriend and I went on 1/12/24 to try the tequila tasting. We sat at the bar and Sterling led us through a very knowledgeable conversation about the different types of Asombroso Tequila. He was very sweet and he makes one hell of a margarita! Thank you Sterling for educating us and making us feel welcome. The drinks were very creative and tasty, highly recommend the Aqua Lily and the margarita flight (pictured). We will pay a visit next time we are in town!“
“Amazing service, fabulous food!! Enjoy our meal! Love the asparagus fries...one of the best linguini and clam sauce I ever had!! Best tiramisu too! Only concern is that the bathroom needs to be checked in on more frequently...a bit dirty. The restaurant could use a little bit of an update...but will certainly return soon!!~“
“This is one of the hidden gems in Laguna Beach. The location in Aliso Canyon is beautiful, it overlooks the first hole of the golf course and the steep canyon walls. The food is a little pricey but always excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive. The deck is our favorite spot to eat if the temperature is warm. The atmosphere for inside dining is very nice too. They have live music every day on the patio outside the front entrance.Parking: Free valet parking“
“Upbeat and loud, Snooze, A.M. Eatery is the perfect place to refuel to face a new day. It’s also a great place to catch up with family and friends, get to know strangers while seated at the counter, and enjoy some really good food and drink!The staff are friendly and efficient and are ready with an answer to any of your questions about the menu.The menu is just right, with classic breakfast fare as well as clever twists on familiar items you just have to try!“
“The best thing I have ever ordered here is the Mexican Cobb Salad with CHIPOTLE RANCH. It is the BEST huge salad you could ever eat. I love the fried onions they add and the fresh guac and lettuce and pico de gallo and the price!! Omg I can’t say enough how much I love this salad and the dressing is just out of this world.“
“We had no idea we were sitting on a gold mine. We had eaten near by a number of times and never thought to try it - another neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Friendly neighbors mentioned it, they got a big thank you. My chicken mole was so beautifully presented, unlike any I've had before and the taste was equal to its looks. My wife's order of enchiladas suizas de Pollo was incredible but she only gave me one, despite my begging. We were there for brunch but neglected to try the mimosas, a mistake we won't make again. Fellow diners near us did have them and we became very jealous. Our waiter was very attentive and flawless. As we left I wanted to tell the manager how good he was but gave up too soon. Bottom line - we're going back!“
“We first discovered this place in San Diego and now we go here for breakfast every time we get the chance. We love eggs Benedict and they have some original twists on it, and even an option to get two smaller portions of different varieties which is what we like to do. The kids loved the French toast and their hot chocolate is excellent. We don’t drink coffee or alcohol so I can’t comment on that but we try the hot chocolate every where we go and theirs is so good, especially with the cinnamon they add. I don’t think you’d go wrong with any of their menu items.“
“I was looking forward to dining and having drinks on the Deck here for a couple months now, it's my 62nd birthday (Golden Birthday) so I wanted something close so we could walk back to the Pacific Edge Hotel.We were not disappointed. I had the Muscle and Clam soup, ( Laguna Cioppino) and as I was digging my way through the pile of meat and shells, I rediscovered my love for shellfish. The broth itself was absolutely delicious. Had to tip the entire large bowl with both hands to drink the delicious liquid. The Clams and Muscles were numerous, Also found several very large shrimp in the bowl, it was like a hunt for treasure right in my bowl. Excellent meal. Couldn't finish all the shellfish.Also tried several drinks, actually, many drinks, I think,? one of which was the Liquid Vacation, I posted a couple pictures of our meal and this particular drink because it was so good ?. We will be back over the next few days. Came back next day, today we tried the Tower of Seafood, it was great except for a couple things, the half lobster should be a whole tail, whoever heard of serving half a tail? This dish is for couples to share, needs more of everything for 109$ a serving. ?“
“I just happened to walk into this place cuz I was staying down the street. The first person I met was a young lady named Stacy and from there on it was just a great time. Went back twice more two more days just because of her and how inviting she was how good the drinks were, how friendly everybody was. It was a really good time nothing bad to say about this place. Tyler I think this was his name you can't he's the only redheaded guy in the bar but he's a GM great talking to you great dude. PS food was really good.“
“AMAZING BURGER. You must get the burger. Fries are good, too, a little too garlicky for me with my heartburn but ya know that's just a matter of taste. Love the vibe here. Cool place to hang out on the weekend. All of their foods looks good. Prices are fair because the food is so damn good. Definitely give it a try!Parking: You can park in the neighborhoods nearby but check for no parking signs. Or park on the street“
“I have frequented the locally world famous Muggs Away for over 30 years now.I say world famous because Ripley's Believe It or Not once came during the annual Mooning of the Amtrak, to see what the mooning was all about. That episode aired around the world, and the bar got calls from all over the world from folks wanting reservations.True story!Great pours, gorgeous bartenders, and one of the coolest hangouts on 5 South!“
“Great view and okay selection of small plates. We went here on a weekday afternoon. Seating at Restaurant Raya was 39 minutes wait hence we decided to have a drink and small plate at 180Blu. There were not many people but still service was very slow. We ordered fries, taco and oysters.Oysters were fresh and good.The view is fantastic. Order s glass of wine or champagne and enjoy the view.Parking: Parking is valet and it is $30 for day time valet.“
“I'm giving it a 5 for the staff. I briefly looked at it, thinking it was an independent rooftop bar, not realizing it was connected to the hotel.Our drinks were ok, prices were average. If you were staying at the hotel, this would be a great experience. If you were bar hoping or anything of that nature, I would go here if everything else was packed.Again, staff was incredibly nice and we stayed for them ?“
“I've been here before but this time around was the best visit. The server Shane had the best service and recommendations. He told me to start with the cocojito. That drink tasted great! I got a couple entrees as well. While eating my fries, Shane told me about their "secret sauce" and ran to the back to get me a side of it. The cherry on top was being able to watch all the NBA games. They had the warriors game on the big screen. Ambiance for sports fans is top tier. I will be definitely be coming back!“
“Love this place! If you’re looking for authentic, not commercialized Thai food with clean, healthy ingredients (fresh veggies!) and no MSG, look no further! I ordered the Green Jungle (green curry & vegetables) substituting tofu for shrimp - this be my “go to” dish from now on. The service is very prompt and friendly and the portions are generous.“
“Came here to meet my friends to see a band that was playing and had a couple of beers and was so surprised what a hidden gem this place is. Yes it's not a trendy upscale place but I found it refreshing to see older crowd having so much fun dancing singing audience participation was there even someone jumped in and played a sax. I didn't have food but next time will try as I only heard it was decent.“
“One of my favorite Bars in Orange County! If Anthony Bourdain was alive, he would have a pint here and the world famous PO PO Shot. Katie is my favorite bartender. She is always nice and without saying anything, she knows when you look at her that you need another drink. She has a good memory too. The second time I went she remembered what I drinked the first time. She even took a song suggestion and played it. Overall this bar is super cool because of the people that go to it and the friendly staff that makes you feel at home. I strongly recommend this place to anyone and it's a staple of Laguna Beach like Marine Room and the Dirty Bird.“
“When you walk in, it’s clear that it’s a locals hang out. Music is loud, people at the bar are chatting with the staff, everyone is having a good time. Service isn’t super speedy and food isn’t gormet, but if you want decent drinks and some good fish and chips or clam chowder, this is your place! Views outside are amazing as well.Parking: Large free parking lot in the marina area for restaurants and shops.Kid-friendliness: Didn’t see a kids menu and the music is pretty loud, so I probably wouldn’t hang out here for the evening with kids.“
“Such a delicious and pleasant experience. We were greeted with warmth and smiles. Service is outstanding!! The cocktails were perfect and our wine was great. Oh the food was amazing! Tip if you are thinking Peking duck request at time of making reservation as it is prepared fresh and served by chef at table side. Very impressive! It is a great family dinning menus portions are generous, fresh and unique! Excited to go back......“
“I needed a last minute dinner rezy, so I headed to Open Table and secured a table. The service and food are always great. We love dining in the patio area. It's easier to have a conversation, plus the patio has such a calm tropical vibe. Our dinner was delicious as usual. We had no room for dessert this time!“
“Been here twice-once for a private event and last night for happy hour for a friends bday. Love the heaters. Love the Gluten friendly food options-wings and sweet potato fries were delicious. The sparkling hibiscus lemonade (non alcoholic) was great-not too sweet. Bathrooms were clean. Service was efficient. Server asked about food allergies which I always appreciate.“
“Excellent Food and Service with a Smile. Bailey, who manages the front of the house is very accomodating and approachable. For example, restaurants have reasons that substitutions are not usually accepted, however when they are willing to forgo their policies in consideration of specific issues, in this case medical reasons, it shows they have a heart and are not just corporate shmorporate. Even though Hendrix is owned by a restaurant group they function more like a family restaurant, offering a unique set of restaurants with diverse, chef driven cuisines all of which use the highest quality ingredients, local artisanal products usually found in large city restaurants think San Francisco or Miami restaurants.Fortunately, Hendrix is not a national chain and this remains one of the reasons that I really like the staff here...they are treated like people rather than disposable assets (Cheesecake Factory anyone)..When it starts with good people from the top down, it functions more like a family restaurant which I promise is much more desirable to clients and less and less common these days. Kudos to the staff at Hendrix, where even late at night, when the shift ends in 15 mind... Great food is a reason to pick a restaurant but Professional Service is the reason people come back. Thanks Again.Highly Recommended for anything Rotisserie, Salads and Scrumptious Desserts! Oh and Pizza is a 9.5/10. Try it!“
“Food was great as always - Cece gave us excellent service :) thru her i just learned of the secret menu and I very much enjoyed the hero :) . . . Usually we eat outside and at lunch time - so I want to also say that Ash is also a wonderful server . . . Thanks so much for the wonderful service and food - we always come here with out-of-towner friends . . . Ambiance is always chill and relaxing - never too loud“
“First day of a business trip and decided to head out to Laguna Beach for dinner and a sunset. The food here was extremely good and well prepared. The oysters were ridiculously good and meaty, especially compared to what I get in the Midwest. Steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. Stefani took great care of me at the bar. I'll for sure come back next time I'm in town.“
“We come here at least once a month. The food is delicious & they change the menu often, which is delightful. It's not boring. The staff is very friendly & know their menu especially their drinks. Always a pleasant experience.“
