Lumberyard

This restaurant was amazing. We walked in and immediately heard the live musicians playing jazzed up versions of classic songs, and we were greeted by the sweetest hostess. The servers were all very kind and attentive. I've never had such warm and welcoming service. The food was just as great. The lumberyard planks, skirt steak, salmon & the kiddo mac&cheese and burger were all very tasty. The apple cobbler a la mode was dynamite! My kiddos loved the bread pudding. Serving sizes were perfect for us. Seriously, you cannot not go wrong with this place. It's a gem!

Overall, the food is what stood out. We had multiple appetizers and salad for our meal. Roasted cauliflower laid on hummus, and feta was my favorite. I ordered a cocktail recommended by my waitress. Unique flavors that I enjoyed. It was quite at the latter lunch hour that we arrived. It is a bit dark with a huge bar.

We have gone to pageant of the masters for years. We've passed the Lumberyard several times. We decided to have an early dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the offerings of craft beer that was available. This may very well be our goto restaurant when we're in town to see the show.

We ate the chicken pot pie, very good sized portion and really good flavor. A little different than a typical pot pie. The meatloaf was huge, on top of mashed potatoes, both covered in a demiglaze that some were not excited about because of it being on the sweet side. Also could have used a side veggie. We got corn bread for appetizer and it was fantastic.

I came on the recommendation of a friend who said they had the best hamburgers in town. I ordered the hamburger and I have to agree! The meat is cooked to order. You have your choice of what you want on your burger. In my case, no cheese but avocado instead. And you have your choice of side dishes including french fries, sweet potato fries, and a couple other options I don't recall. It was a pleasant place to have lunch and I will return

We found this restaurant to be everything you want! Good food and service with great atmosphere. My wife and I enjoyed their happy hour. The waiter served us good well done drinks and the wings were delicious. Easily 5 stars.

It's a cool and busy spot in Laguna Beach. We didn't have reservations on a Tuesday night and waited for about 25 minutes for a table. It was pretty lively and busy. We chose this restaurant since it was close to the beach and a variety of items on their menu. The fried calamari was delicious. Especially the garlic aioli. The fish 'n chips were tasty as well. Even my 7-yr old son ordered it off the kids menu. The beef stroganoff tasted good, however, the beef was overcooked for my liking. I like my beef nice & tender. Our server was kind enough to remove it from our bill and I ended up ordering a cup of tomato bisque soup which was good. I also had some fish 'n chips. We'd go and try out other menu items next time.

The pan seared sea bass was to die for! I don't even care much for fish, but this was a cut like a filet mignon steak! It was sooooo flavorful, mouthwatering! The roasted cauliflower was cooked to perfect doneness --easy to cut, but still had crunch Efficient server. Nice touch to have live, enjoyable music during dinner
