    We forgot why we loved this place so much!! So happy we came by. The meals are heftier so great if you’re really hungry or want a cozy meal on a rainy or colder day. But the vibe is perfect, bar is great, staff is amazing and super attentive, and food is superb! We got the chicken piccata and the fried chicken and mash and it was all delicious. Also started with their basic $8 salad and added avocado. It was the perfect size. Super yummy! We WILL be back.

    Our waitress Maria made the experience. She was attentive and delivered our food exactly as we ordered it. That’s no small feat as one of our party is super picky and Maria and the kitchen delivered. Classic Laguna spot with great food and service.
