Restaurants near Crystal Cove State Park

The experience was fabulous, atmosphere welcoming and our server Alicia was wonderful, food was prepared well and the Banana desert is the best.

Environment, staff and food combine to make a truly special memory. A lovely way to experience the magic of Crystal Cove.

Great service all the way around. Quality of food is excellent

Javier’s has been my favorite Mexican food since his restaurant was located in Laguna Beach. I live in Texas with great Mexican food, but none other compares to the freshness and perfection of Javier’s! It’s the first restaurant I stop at and usually the last I go to when traveling to Southern California. I never thought I would give it 4 stars instead of 5. Still delicious, but the ambience of the remodel was loud and stark compared to the warm cozy atmosphere that was once one of the most uniquely beautiful places to dine. I understand they needed a bigger space, but I felt the lighting was more like being in an operating room. The music at lunchtime was extremely loud and clanging! I turn whoever I’m traveling with on to Javier’s, and this is the first time I was disappointed. I’m sure it may feel different at night. Waitstaff and food are still fantastic!

Celebrated my friends birthday at A Crystal Cove for lunch . We shared the duck liver pate served with huckleberry jam , then 4oz of the Wagyu A-5 , perfect with a side of the best french fries around . Bubbles paired nicely with our "lite" lunch. Staci took care of us, she perfectly timed everything. All items are available for dinner. Perfect starters. A beautiful restaurant . Thank you Staci for your A-mazing service Thank you Jordan for your hospitality. B.C.
