                      $175 per person. The tiniest appetizer which would not have filled a teaspoon of the four entrees we ordered one salad was very good; a blue cheese wedge salad. Three ordered the Halibut entree which was dry and tasteless with no noticeable flavoring; spice or salsa or sauce. One guest ordered prime rib; no yorkshire pudding; no au jus and no horseradish sauce. No bread or butter. And the best part yet; the dessert choices were apple pie or pecan pie and when it was time to serve 'the ovens were not working'. They had to substitute what they had on hand. It was DRAFTY and cold with thoughtless servers going in an out of the dining room leaving the doors open each time. Not a pleasant Christmas eve. A memorable and unpleasant and ridiculously expensive evening. Dinner for four at $900 and that was with a total of two glasses of wine and one cocktail I have lived in Laguna for 40 plus Years. My husband was a bellhop at the hotel in the 1940's. I hosted his memorial service at the hotel 20 years ago when it was regal and old nostalgia grand.

                      Going on a Monday was a nice way to enjoy the restaurant and not the crowds. All the food choices were delicious and the service were nice and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back.

                      Larsen has quickly become our favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach. The service is amazing, the food is exquisite, and you can’t beat the amazing views and the elegance of their dining room. Wonderful experience!

                      Service was terrible. Super slow. Had to call server multiple times to place order for app, then lunch then dessert…and then to bring check. Very few guests there. Several other servers were present. Dessert took 30 min to come out! While the food was very good - the service killed the experience for us.
