Restaurants near Laguna Playhouse

Had a wonderful dinner last Friday with friends. I had not been before, but will certainly go back again and again. 

The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was wonderful! We had the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower appetizer. Cheese toast (garlic bread), my friend had the meatloaf and I had the scallops dish. The sauce on each dish was flavorful and I particularly loved the risotto. Highly recommend!

Our anniversary celebration at Rebel Omakase was an experience we will treasure. From the moment we stepped in, we were enveloped by an ambiance that perfectly blended refined elegance with Japanese simplicity, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening. Each course was a masterpiece—carefully curated, exquisitely plated, and layered with flavors that were both deeply traditional and surprisingly inventive. The precision in preparation was evident, showcasing the chef's expertise and commitment to perfection. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive but never intrusive, anticipating every need with grace and professionalism. Each dish was presented with a thoughtful explanation, enhancing our appreciation of the ingredients and their seasonal significance. Rebel is truly a destination for those who understand and value the artistry behind Japanese cuisine. It’s a place where every detail is honed to perfection, leaving you with an experience that feels both rare and profoundly satisfying. Highly recommended to anyone who values culinary artistry at its finest.

Great atmosphere, awesome service and delicious food all very reasonably priced. Plus live music! Good selection of beer on tap too. Locals favorite.

Salerno’s is our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in Laguna. My husband’s favorite dish is fettuccine Alfredo and Salerno’s is The Best according to him. The wait staff is so friendly and accommodating and the restaurant so comfortable and “Italian”…. We highly recommend it!!
