In 1912, at the bend of Forest Avenue, 23 year old Joe Jahraus opened the Laguna Lumber Company, he and his father(cigar maker, first postmaster and real estate agent) built the beautiful French Normandy building that is here today. Prior to the lumberyard opening, building supplies needed to be dragged in by mule or floated in on the tides, and therefore, Laguna Beach had less than three hundred permanent residences. After the lumberyard opened, the area began to grow at unprecedented rates, transforming it from a tent town into a thriving city. Laguna Lumber operated for seventy three years, sixty two of them in this location and its' architecture, influenced by Joe's tour abroad in World War I, is one of the most significant influences on the town's aesthetic. Half timbers, mud walls and shingled roofs grace many of the downtown storefronts and homes throughout the city because of this landmark. Today, 384 Forest is home to Lumberyard - a contemporary American restaurant.

    Items that bring you to a restaurant are things like ambiance, service, location and food. Las Brisas has them all. The ambiance is romantic, the location, on top of Laguna Beach overlooking the ocean doesn't get any better. The service is stellar and the food is top notch. There's nothing else to say except if you haven't yet been there, you are definitely missing out on a immersive experience that, in my opinion, is second to none. I don't live in California but I do not leave the state without a visit. You should too.

    Unfortunately heaters not working above our table on patio, but blankets were provided, so that helped. But not having outdoor heating on a cold, damp day made our experience uncomfortable. Service was exceptional. Really great team of servers.

    This was our second time eating lunch there. Service was friendly, efficient and timely. We had the fish taco special, the mussels in leek broth and the Parker house rolls. If you get nothing else, get the rolls! Crispy and buttery on the outside and doughy and soft inside. The fried fish in the tacos were crunchy and the sauce was flavorful and accompanied the fish well. The mussels were cooked just right - still soft and flavorful in a light, savory sauce. The butter cake was the epitome of decadence. Definitely recommend for lunch.
