- OTOpenTable DinerPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe missionaries so beautifully decorated this time a year, and even when it is not decorated, the architecture and the ambiance is very romantic and beautiful. The courtyard is the best place to dine but even when you eat indoors like we did, it’s gorgeous. Our meals were just fine,especially my Cobb salad but the Reuben sandwich for lunch was just OK….price point they should’ve added a little more substance meat, etc. to the sandwich but we always love the crispy fries. Service was great even when they were at their busiest time . Their festival of lights is going on, so they were getting ready in a couple of hours for all the lights to come on for the thousands of people who come to see their displays.More infoMission Inn RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Riverside•4.1
- AAlanVIPOrange County •32 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFood was very good. Had some cheese and meats to start and the board was very well presented. Our server, Staci and her support staff were spot on throughout dinner. I would also recommend leaving room for dessert. Looks of great choices to share.More infoA Restaurant - Original Location on Newport BlvdPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Newport Beach•4.8

- CCynthiaVIPNew York City •17 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoMikey our server for lunch was really wonderful. Very helpful in the ordering for both wine and entrees. Lovely personality! The food was well prepared, a little pricey, but as expected :) View was terrific, we had a central table right at the window and Mikey opened the windows for us upon request so that we could have a simultaneous view and fresh air on this gorgeous day. Lovely lunch!! (Branzino, lobster salad and Cobb shrimp salad all delicious) (Also liked that the valet was free and that I was able to charge my car while dining!) Will definitely be back when next in Laguna (from LA)More infoThe Loft at Montage Laguna BeachPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Laguna Beach•4.7
- RRickVIPOrange County •47 reviews4.0Dined on 13 Dec 2024Great local restaurant, with great selection of food items! Their drinks are outstanding! Very energetic inside around the bar. Outside patio seating is spread out better. There is live music, which is very nice, but don't get a table near the performer - - the speaker is too loud to hold a conversation.More infoScarlet Kitchen and LoungePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita•4.6
