Review summary
AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Driftwood Kitchen offers "incredible views" of Laguna Beach, complemented by "delicious food" and "great service." Highlights include "crab-stuffed sole," "Chilean sea bass," and "lobster carbonara." Brunch is a favorite, with "large portions" and "wonderful views." While pricey and occasionally understaffed, the ambiance and oceanfront dining make it a "must-visit" spot.
