   Once again, a fantastic meal served with the highest quality of service (Robbie). Our friend group of four enjoyed as follows: (1) a delicious medium rare top quality skirt steak with potatoes, red pickled onions, tiny peppers and two tasty sauces. (2) their perfectly prepared sea bass. (3 & 4) went with their speciality halibut. Every plate was licked clean! The ladies shared what was described as the best bread pudding of their lives. We are so looking forward to coming back real soon.

   This is my favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach! Actually in Orange County. It’s so delicious. The Parker house rolls are fabulous and inexpensive. Great fries, pasta, cocktails. It’s really incredible.

   We felt the cheeseburger was dry and lack grilled onions and the Cobb salad was fishy. The french fries were delicious and followed our request for no salt.

   Another fabulous night at 230 Forest. I requested a table on the outside patio and they were happy to accommodate my request. The waiter and staff were on point. The pacing of drinks, appetizers and main course was perfectly timed. We enjoyed 2 items new to us: house made ricotta and fried chicken sandwich. Both were superb! We also enjoyed our old favorites: chipotle chicken sandwich and halibut. Also perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The food was served HOT, something that rarely happens these days. Our heater ran out of propane and the manager noticed it and immediately replaced it for us. They just have th best service. Love this place! Never disappoints

   This is our "go-to" restaurant in Laguna Beach. The food is consistently excellent. Today, we enjoyed the onion soup, the burger and bolognese. Our server today, Nina, was friendly, informative and efficient.
