So excited to discover this hidden gem tucked inside Laguna Hills! Located on a beautiful golf course, Harvest offers beautiful views, as well as an extensive menu of elevated Californian cuisine and innovative cocktails. We stopped by spontaneously for a weekend brunch after seeing this spot on social media, and were pleasantly surprised that it 100% lived up to the hype! One of our favorites was the ceviche, which came with a tasty mix of cooked white fish, tomato, peppers, onion and cilantro paired with fresh tortilla chips, and is a refreshing option for a hot summer Californian day. I also surprisingly enjoyed the bone marrow, which was so deeply flavorful without being overwhelmingly rich, and paired beautifully with their freshly roasted bread. Also highly recommend trying their cocktails, especially the French, which comes with a creative spin of raspberry sorbet and brut to pour over. Definitely check out this hidden gem restaurant for innovative and elevated Californian cuisine if you're in Laguna! read more

This place is amazing! A hidden gem in the canyons of Laguna. If you want a nice dinner with a mountain retreat feel, this is the spot! Friendly service , really good food and incredible atmosphere. Good for happy hour drinks to sit outside and enjoy the view with friends. Also good for a nice dinner date to impress. They also have a hotel which I want to stay at soon! read more

After hearing positive reviews about Harvest, I finally decided to try it. The outdoor setting overlooking the golf course and the cozy atmosphere were by far the most peaceful I've experienced. The food was delicious, high quality, and the service was perfect. read more

I can't believe I never knew about the restaurant. It is right across from Aliso Creek beach up in an area called The Ranch. There's a beautiful golf course situated in the basin of a hilly area -- the views are gorgeous. Across from the pro shop, you'll find Harvest, a beautiful restaurant with indoor, outdoor and bar seating. First, you MUST try their giant cinnamon roll. We got ours with the candied bacon on the side and I'm craving it just thinking about it! Everything we ate was delicious. They even have fantastic coffee drinks too! Shout out to Frank for the fabulous service! I can't wait to come back soon. read more

This is a really beautiful spot. The restaurant itself feels like a nice slightly upscale type of lodge. The menu is really thoughtful and well put together. Everything tastes fresh and homemade. They mention a lot of locally grown produce items on the menu. The Caesar salad was perfect. The wagyu cheesesteak was more bready than I would have liked, but still good. The homemade chips were fabulous. I would get this just to bring home. The apple and pecan pie were really really good. The burger was absolutely massive. Other than the salads, everyone we were with stated that their food was a bit unseasoned. I suggest putting salt and pepper on the tables, if the goal of the chef is to season foods so lightly. Why not 5 stars?? The service was just okay. Our server was really sweet. She tried hard. Little things were missing, like clearing plates. Offering cream with coffee. Refilling or asking for additional beverages. We had to flag her down a few times with empty glasses that had been there for awhile. The busboys were very helpful once we flagged them. I mention it, because that kind of service doesn't match the prices or the vibe I think they are going for. It is still a lovely place, and we will be back. Note: it's valet only. read more

This place blew me away. First you are greeted with free valet parking. Next you see the stunning views of the luscious green mountains overhead. The staff are wonderful, very professional and greeting you by your last name. The texture of the menu is the best I have ever felt. The food is fantastic too, large portions and high quality. Be sure to walk around and enjoy the views after eating. read more

I was so happy with my experience here! Harvest is located on a ranch. There is a hotel where you can stay and a golf course as well. Parking for the golf course and the restaurant is valet only but it is free. I didn't make a reservation to go in but they had lots of tables on a weekday. They have both plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options. The indoor vibes are very warm and cozy and the outdoor vibes are nice with the views of the ranch. In the indoor seating, they also have couches and booths. Additionally, they have seating where they have large windows and it also overlooks the ranch! The service here was great. Upon seating they got us started with waters and offered to move heaters next to us since it was a cloudy day. We also got blankets to stay warm. Their food was also really good! We wanted to try the breakfast menu but got there at around 12 (which is when they start serving their lunch menu), but even so, the lunch menu had so many options we wanted to try. The appetizers and starters all sound good, and the servers are really warm and nice introducing the menu. We ordered the french onion soup, wild mushroom pasta, and the baked lobster mac and cheese. They were all delicious! The french onion soup is flavored perfectly and I loved the cheese on top. The wild mushroom pasta was also delicious. The pasta was cooked nicely and the mushroom flavor was strong. The mushroom itself is really soft and not hard at all. The lobster mac and cheese had the perfect ratio of lobster to cheese. I really enjoyed my experience at the restaurant. After finishing food at Harvest, you can walk a little next to the golf course, or take pictures in front of the mountains of the ranch. If you go during the Christmas season, they also have a huge christmas tree outside the restaurant. read more

TLDR; beautiful restaurant, very attentive staff, and mixed flavor food. The drinks were delicious and perfectly made. The appetizers were good and flavorful especially the bread, cheese board, shrimp cocktail, and croquettes. The onion soup was flavorful and good as well. The salmon wasn't bad but something within the flavor of the sauce it was drenched in made it off putting. The reduction in the braised short rib ruined the meal and the potato pie was more of a leftover hash brown. The scallops were alright but could have been cooked a touch longer which left them a little slimey. The milk and cookies saved the dessert because they were delicious! Get these and do not miss out. read more

Located inside The Ranch at Laguna Beach, the restaurant oversees the golf course from outside patio. The staff is friendly and kind in preparing celebration for special occasions. The majority of the ingredient comes fresh from its own garden, which you can schedule the tour directly with concierge. Highly recommend the tour to dive deep into its sustainability effort and to get some action at the "chicken theatre". The menu changes seasonally to always have the best ingredients, so you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

In a canyon in Laguna Beach: Simply wonderful atmosphere to have a long, leisurely luncheon with longtime friends. Luckily, We came at a non-busy time. It was so extremely relaxing to enjoy food, wine and conversation at a beautiful restaurant in a canyon of Laguna Beach where we could actually hear each other. The patio setting ideal. Our waiter, Edgar, made us feel so welcome and didn't rush us in any way. That being said, I didn't think the food was overly spectacular. It was very good, truly. I would definitely go there again. Perhaps order that special hamburger that my friend had. She said it was delicious. I had the chicken club sandwich - a great combination of fresh ingredients, just a bit dry. If I ordered again, I'm sure I won't insult the cook by asking for a little extra mayo. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert were perfect. We loved having the actual wine bottle brought to our table so we could see it poured directly from the bottle. Class. And a terrific wine list! See Guy S. review who thoughtfully posted the Wine & Spirit list. : ) Overall it was decent food with superb service in a beautiful setting. Valet parking & a little navigation needed to drive up to find the actual restaurant. read more

Celebrating at harvest is absolutely the best experience you could have whether it be a birthday or a wedding or an anniversary or just life in general.. It's always better at harvest. We had the most amazing waiter , Sal he gave much personal attention. It was fantastic. A handwritten birthday card was given. The dessert was amazing handwritten chocolate on the plate. The food is so good. It's far a table. They have very seasonal delicious fresh food. The pumpkin gnocchi was so delicious the crispy octopus one of my favorites, the French onion soup, and the butternut squash soup. You must try before they go away. The roasted chicken is one of my favorites and for dessert if you can have the apple pie if you have room left, you must try it it is absolutely out of this world just like grandma would make! read more

While staying a few days at The Ranch at LB recently, we had both breakfast and dinner at Harvest. First of all, I was impressed with all the restaurant staff we encountered - they are friendly, professional, and go out of their way to make everything special. Special shout out to our server, Daniel at breakfast. We both had the caramelized onion/squash quiche and we just had to experience a $23 cinnamon roll! It was nearly the size of a dinner plate with cream cheese topping, candied bacon and a ton of syrup. The cream cheese on top was a great addition, but I could have done without the candied bacon or maybe just regular crispy bacon bits - I thought it was way too sweet. But that's me...my hubby thought it was perfect as is lol! For dinner, we had great cocktails at the bar and the hostess was so accommodating when we arrived without a reservation. While we were happy to grab seats at the bar and order a meal there, she was able to find us a table by the time we finished drinks and were about to order. My salmon dish was perfectly prepared and so yummy, and my husband enjoyed the pork chop that our server recommended. The ambiance of the restaurant is awesome and the views are incredible. So an A+ for food, ambiance and service - we'd definitely return. read more

Overlooking over a beautiful golf course, food items are mostly fresh, staff service quite attentive, and nice seatings, so what can be missing? Taste! We ordered the passion fruit ceviche and Scampi. But if we were to close our eyes, we would not have known the food we were eating. There was not even a trace of garlic on the scampi. When we told the manager about this, he said that they had a lot of customers without complaints. When I looked around, I saw mostly visitors not regulars. Of course, they came for the ambience. . I had given this a 4-star review before one here again some day. The manager took off the charges on the food items even though I insisted on paying for them. and would really love to dine here again some day after taste has been restored to the items., read more

We had a team dinner at Harvest and the entire experience was absolutely top-notch. Despite being a large group, our server, Crews, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of - truly one of the best service experiences I've had in a while. He was attentive, warm, and made the night feel really special. He definitely had us laughing the entire night so we really enjoyed his company. I ordered the braised short rib and it did not disappoint - so flavorful and perfectly cooked. For dessert, we went all out and tried several options, and honestly, it's hard to choose a favorite. The apple pie a la mode and chocolate chip cookies were both next-level good. Between the great food, incredible service, and beautiful setting at The Ranch, I highly recommend Harvest... whether you're dining as a group or planning a more intimate night out. read more

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and it was amazing. It's tucked in a little area in Laguna beach and it's valet only. I guess the restaurant is located in the golf course but the views are amazing. It feels like you're not even in Orange County anymore. We ordered the margarita which was so good and refreshing! The French onion soup and the duck drumlettes are a must try also. The service was great, everyone was so friendly. Would definitely come back for an occasion :) read more

I love this restaurant! I've been here a bunch of different times for brunch or lunch. For brunch I love their eggs benedict. For lunch I love their spinach artichoke dip appetizer& the duck wings appetizer. Service can be kind of slow but they're always very friendly, plus it's nice to take it slow some days anyways. Beautiful views, friendlier than friendly staff from the hotel entrance to the table. I think it's valet only read more

Although we've attended events at The Ranch, it was my first time to dine at the Harvest restaurant. I had the grilled chicken club sandwich with fries. It seemed quite impressive when it was presented, but realized that it was extremely difficult to eat (two) 3 inch sandwiches loaded with bacon/avocado/chicken/tomatoes etc. I tried cutting into half and all the fillings spilled out. I essentially ended up eating the fillings with my fork and ate the bread separately. How about quartering it to make it more manageable? The dining room was spacious and very beautiful. The servers were attentive and very efficient. read more

Our party of four enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner celebration last night. The entire staff from manager Chris, to server Wissam ably assisted by Randy, made sure our evening was special. The focaccia bread, baby wedge salad, Angus hamburger, brussels sprouts, grilled salmon salad, seafood chowder, and short rib with crispy potatoes were all beautifully plated & delicious. A gratis birthday chocolate mousse with candle was presented by Randy who led us in softly singing happy birthday! We appreciated his gentle quieter style. I've been frustrated over the years that Harvest's extensive adult beverage list isn't fully given anywhere online so I took time to include pictures of the list. read more

Parking is validated and free. The location is tucked away in between mountains which was gorgeous. We sat outside & had an amazing view. The grounds are so pretty. Service was amazing all around, we got drinks while we waited for our table (we had reservations which I highly recommend) & the bartender was so nice as well as our server. We got the duck wings & peaches to start. I loved the duck wings, they were so flavorful. Both dishes were plenty to share. For the entrees, I got the special which was sea bass with mushrooms (sea bass had a nice flavor, some of the mushrooms were a bit chewy though). And the ranchera steak (so delicious, loved the veggies & the chimichurri too). Generous portions. We got the pistachio creme brûlée which was flavorful & tasty. Went here to celebrate my birthday, would highly recommend for a special occasion. read more

把自己還給自己，讓花成花，讓樹成樹，人生沒有一定的藍圖，標準公式，做好你自己，就是最好的模式～ 這次來到Laguna Beach, 但不是到海邊的餐廳，餐廳是在山上，到了才知道，原來這裡是可以打高爾夫球的地方，景色宜人那是一定的啦，沒想到食物也非常好吃，第一個要推薦的就是他們的鴨腿，這一道一定要點，，他們洋蔥湯朋友說好喝，生蠔新鮮，鮭魚沙拉，我也很喜歡，倒是他們的shrimp cocktail,比較不是我的菜，秋高氣爽的日子，坐在這裡吃個飯，真的很迷人，推薦這個新發現的小小的世外桃源給大家～ read more

Absolutely stunning setting... Inside and out! Great service... And a good menu. But I am absolutely stunned at the lack of gluten-free options. Also, their kale and farro salad is listed as gluten free!! Farro is NOT gluten free at all! It's from the wheat family. When we mentioned that to our server she didn't seem 100% certain when telling us it could be left out/ but how is this salad listed as GF? For those (like me) with an actually intolerance to Gluten- dine here cautiously. I will definitely go back (and it's one of my husbands favorite spots), but I will ask more questions about the menu. The ceviche was really good 5/5, but my tacos were pretty flavorless. It was odd actually... Some bites were OK- not outstanding... but some bites had absolutely no flavor at all. They looked really delicious and had all the right ingredients??.. maybe my Paloma ruined my taste buds? I hope our next visit will be better read more

Tri tip sandwich was delicious and the accompanying mushroom dipping sauce was a standout. The fries were very fresh and I could taste the rosemary.

This is a totally hidden restaurant that transports you into an instant vacation. It's at "The Ranch" resort in Laguna and a place I would have never known about if it wasn't for yelp. I recommend using GPS because the turn off on PCH is easy to miss. Look for The Ranch signage. I still missed it and had to make a u-turn. Next when following the road and you see another sign for the Ranch the arrow is pointing forward. Keep going straight it'll take you to the resort. For some reason I took the forward arrow as a right turn and turned right. If you do the same you'll eventually come to a wooden foot bridge and a dead end. Make a left at the foot bridge and this will also take you to the resort. Parking is valet only but free! Walk into the hotel and the restaurant is in the back. Just look for the breath taking views. On yelp you'll see plenty of pictures of a huge patio but this is actually another spot on the resort and not Harvest. The restaurant still has a patio but it was pretty small and they had no seats available. We did get a great table at the window though that not only provided the same panoramic views but also air conditioning! Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and has a weekend brunch menu. We came on a weekday so we went for lunch. To start I had the French Onion soup which was coated in gruyere and parmesan. Delicious soup and one of the better versions I've had. While eating my soup my wife saw another table get the fried squash blossoms so she ordered one too. They were stuffed with lemon herb ricotta, pistachio dukkah, and green goddess dressing. We both thought they were good but probably wouldn't order again. For the price needed a bit more, maybe another piece. For entree I had the steak salad. It came with a perfectly cooked 8 ounce hanger steak which was surprisingly melt in your mouth tender. It had a nice season rub on it came with chimichurri sauce to dip. Steak was served whole so you can eat it like a steak or slice it up for your salad. The salad itself was arugala, frisee, fresno chilis, avocado, thick chunks of smoked bacon, parmesan, sourdough croutons, and mustard vinaigrette. It's hard to tell from my picture but this was a huge salad. Everything about it was great and if you're in the mood for a steak this is a great choice. My wife went with the BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich. Piles of tri-tip covered in peach BBQ sauce, crispy onions, and aged cheddar, and housemade potato chips. She avoids carbs so it was a vacation splurge and she said it was worth the splurge. I took a bite and really liked the flavor of the bbq sauce. The housemade potato chips were awesome, great seasoning. We both had cocktails too. I had a pineapple serrano mezcal drink which was awesome and I can't recall what my wife ordered. At this point we should have called it a day but I saw on yelp a cinnamon roll. A very expensive cinnamon roll. Out of curiosity I asked about it and our waitress aid they usually keep a few on hand after breakfast for people like me in the know. Sure, YOLO, let's get one. Oh my god, no wonder this thing costs so much. It was the size of a head. HUGE cinnamon roll covered in candied bacon, cream cheese frosting, and maple syrup. It was INSANE both in size and flavor. We got about halfway through it before giving up. Luckily it heated up great later. Washed it down with a coffee served in a really cool clay mug. Our waitress Daisy was AWESOME. She truly made our experience perfect. Excellent restaurant, highly recommend. You're in Laguna yet transported to what felt like the central coast. We went on a weekday and it was pretty empty, I'm sure it's busy on the weekend. Reservations are on Open Table. read more

Great all around First off the food was excellent, had the swordfish with lemon caper sauce and it was outstanding. Great lemon flavor notes. The short ribs we were something I don't see very often .... Juicy and flavorful! Normally I'm disappointed by the short ribs because they are dry ( but flavorful) . It's rare to get both but they did it ! Service was excellent with Crews - he really took care of us . The wedge salad was expensive $23 so we split it and they did a nice job splitting it and it was more than enough and delicious, nice smokey bacon flavor. One disappointment was the Mac and cheese side - kind of flavorless and the cheese sauce was thin. Didn't get any green chile flavor what so ever . One note - if you like to be able to carry on a conversation with the other 5 people at the table and hear the conversation , come here ! read more

An expensive dining experience but a good spot. We came when it was dark out so we could not see the whole ambiance of the canyon. Our server was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. I had an espresso martini, which was good but nothing crazy. The bread as an appetizer was my favorite item, it was so good. I had the whole shrimp pasta which I again thought was good but again nothing crazy. read more

There's nearly nothing here we like. I wish they would hire a new chef and completely replace the menu. The dry aged burger had a very tarty sour flavor profile. I believe it's mostly due to the homemade pickles. It could also be due to the dijonnaise, or even the bacon marmalade. Then I got a side of ranch, and even that was tarty. Amazing view though! read more

My visit to the Harvest was absolutely amazing. It is a gorgeous venue with amazing views tucked right into a little area of Laguna Beach along the Aliso Creek. The staff and hostesses were great and very attentive with all of our needs and questions. Our server, Juan, made our experience here absolutely wonderful and did a great job at letting us feel like a part of the community and welcome at everything The Ranch had to offer. Being a farm to table restaurant makes the dining experience absolutely unique. The menu was based on seasonal ingredients and really highlighted the amazing food presented. I ordered their daily special, a Uni Risotto, and added their daily catch of Salmon. My jaw was on the floor with this meal. The soft, butter-like uni, the crispy and perfectly seasoned salmon, crisp of the rice, and a fresh pairing with chayote and wakame made this meal perfect. I paired it with a glass of their Riesling. I ended the night with their Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée topped with fresh blueberries and blackberries. Again, stunning, delicious, and my top-rating. read more

I read about this Harvest has nice surroundings some time back. Since it's spring time and I want to find a nice quiet spot for Sunday brunch, Harvest comes to my mind on the top of my list. It's located right next to Aliso beach in Laguna beach. My daughter and I sit on the second floor outside overlooking the golf course where there is a wedding reception going on. The spring breeze feels warm and cozy. The server came to us promptly. We ordered Bone Marrow, Market Fish Ceviche, Mushroom Quiche, they all very good, fresh and delicious. We had a great experience, and I love to bring my family and friends to come back again forth both the nice environment and good food. read more

The people are so kind and accommodating! We brought our two toddlers and they were so kind and patient. Had a kids menu and crayons! The drinks here are amazing but this was our first time for lunch. I've never had a squash blossom but LOVED these. Fresh ricotta and green goddess dressing was creamy and herbal and fresh! The chicken tortilla soup was so perfect- slightly creamy, great flavor and lots of chicken! The shrimp tacos were incredible great seasoning on the shrimp. I didn't taste the jalepeno aioli but it was delicious nonetheless. The spiced chips and guac on the side were incredible. Those chips on top of the tortilla soup would have been perfect. The fish sandwich was good but a little bit boring- I'd recommend the tacos over the fish sandwich! The views are incredible and we love the people here. Will define one back! read more
