• American • Laguna Beach
Booked 22 times today
In 1912, at the bend of Forest Avenue, 23 year old Joe Jahraus opened the Laguna Lumber Company, he and his father(cigar maker, first postmaster and real estate agent) built the beautiful French Normandy building that is here today. Prior to the lumberyard opening, building supplies needed to be dragged in by mule or floated in on the tides, and therefore, Laguna Beach had less than three hundred permanent residences. After the lumberyard opened, the area began to grow at unprecedented rates, transforming it from a tent town into a thriving city. Laguna Lumber operated for seventy three years, sixty two of them in this location and its' architecture, influenced by Joe's tour abroad in World War I, is one of the most significant influences on the town's aesthetic. Half timbers, mud walls and shingled roofs grace many of the downtown storefronts and homes throughout the city because of this landmark. Today, 384 Forest is home to Lumberyard - a contemporary American restaurant.

    Every time we visit Laguna we have to eat at Mozambique. It never dissappoints. The menu has some unique items you can’t get everywhere. The Durban Curry is my husband’s go to dish. The service is always great too. We had Greg as our server for a second time and he’s awesome.

    Curbside appeal was inviting with optional Valet. Warm outdoor fire place for those waiting, reservation was recognized with special occasion notes that they made a point to recognize. The server was experienced, friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Food was delicious, above average portions. Valentines weekend had live, music easy listening and still able to listen/hold a conversation at the table. I special ordered a cocktail and they accommodated. Overall just a relaxed vibe with great food and incredible service. This was a 200+mile round trip and we can't wait to come back...ty SCG

    The Drake has live music so it will not be quiet but we sat in the bar so we could enjoy the music but could still have conversation. We enjoyed both of our meals, the halibut and the venison. The art deco decor enhanced the experience as well.

    We always love coming here. The staff is always high end in their treatment of each guest. My husband and I weren’t sure what we wanted and decided on pizza - make it simple. The crust is incredible, sauce was perfect. Oh and we hit the jackpot cause Wednesday you buy a pizza and get one - we took the 2nd one home. Great deal!
