Best Restaurants for People Watching in Laguna Beach

Tango is a cozy, European style gem I’ve visited twice. Niko was friendly and spot-on with wine and food recommendations. The Angus beef brisket was melt in your mouth perfection, definitely recommend! Everything was amazing, though the lobster Caesar salad could use less dressing to avoid soaking the lettuce, especially for the price. One note: they leave the door open, and it gets quite chilly. Otherwise, a fantastic experience!

The food and service was excellent as usual. The noise level was the only negative part of this visit. There were many holiday dinner parties in our dining room, and one was particularly loud. Our server Destiny was fabulous!

Amazing vibe! The best food and drinks. Make a Rez.

For my wife's birthday dinner I chose Bluefin and we both enjoyed both the menu choices, our food and the service. I chose the Bluefin omakase and she chose the shabu shabu. We had an appetizer of ankimo which was superb. Our server was attentive without being overwhelming or hovering. The portions were better than expected . My choice of omakase did not disappoint and appealed to the eye as well as my palate. Delicious! I would recommend Bluefin to anyone who wants a special Japanese sushi experience.

Amazing sushi and service. Samuel, Kayli and and the other chef there also were all so welcoming and fun to be with! Will be coming back!
