The view was absolutely beautiful from our table, service was great but the food was not the best. I got the fettuccini Alfredo for dinner. It was alright, I liked how much Parmesan cheese they brought out. Huge portion of food, I spilt it with my mother and still had a lot of leftovers.

Came in on Saturday evening for our wedding anniversary. It was our first time there. Called ahead to get on waitlist since the Yelp online waitlist was closed for some reason. They originally told us 2-3 hour wait so we left to explore the town but ended up getting a table in an hour and hurried back. Why not just do reservations? The system was confusing. The ocean view and sunset hour is great. Food was fine but was not impressive. We ordered the Ahi tuna and Salmon entree with mashed and baked potatoes, the Ahi tuna was good but on the saltier side, the salmon was just ok, the potatoes were hard, and the string beans were half cooked. Had a good time anyway with the view! Not sure if we would come back though since the food is just ok, and the wait is unpredictable. You are definitely paying the price with the view! 3 stars for the food and 5 stars for the view! For such a beautiful view, the tables were casual and not decorated at all so I don’t suggest to come here if you are loo

Went here on our Socal trip and on our anniversary. Food was excellent and service was very friendly. The views are amazing of the ocean and the main beach in Laguna. I recommend going earlier to get a good table, by 430 or 5 there was a wait. Valet parking only but much cheaper than finding parking elsewhere in Laguna.
