• Californian • Laguna Beach

Booked 26 times today

Don't be fooled by the crowds and the noise; they are all part of the scene here at Laguna Beach's sexy and intense 230 Forest Avenue. The lean deep room seduces you to the open kitchen, bustling bar, and concrete floors, creating a space that is part modern bistro, part martini bar, and part art gallery. It's the perfect spot to see and be seen, laid back Laguna-style. Executive Chef Marc Cohen is consistently recognized as one of The OC's top chefs. You'll be ready to award him a medal, too, after tasting his flashy-to-the-eye, tickle-the-taste- buds fusion appetizers and entrees. His dishes are often so stunning that they compete with the artwork on the walls, making for a thoroughly satisfying "artistic" experience.

We were very well cared for by Miquel at bar. Drinks tasty. Appetizers delicious. Only issue is how cold it was. We moved away from open doors but think AC may have been on. Plan to go back again for happy hour 🍸

A little too loud inside (music) so ate outside. Loved the Panang curry and ancient grains bowls; we've had them multiple times. However this time ww both selected shrimp and it wasn't very fresh tasting. Same thing the last time as well. We recommend the antibiotic chicken for both bowls and you won't be disappointed.

Great experience…my friend and I split a Fish and Chips. They split it onto 2 plates with a normal portion of coleslaw and fries with the fish. Very nice that they did that. Service was great and the food was great and served hot!
