We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Harvest, and what truly set the experience apart was the amazing service from Crews. We brought our toddler son with us, and Crews was incredibly accommodating and friendly. He even brought him a stuffed animal, which was such a thoughtful touch! Despite how busy he was, Crews was hustling the entire time, taking great care of all his tables while still continuously checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Now on to the food. We had the kampachi, risotto, and yellowtail, and everything was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend Harvest, especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. Thank you, Crews and the Harvest team, for making our anniversary dinner so memorable! read more

Super nice ambiance and right by a golf course. They also have complimentary valet which was nice. We happened to go on a day when there was a wedding so we caught a couple glimpse of that which was really cool. They also had free blankets upon request since we got a bit cold. Overall I would say service was a tiny bit slow but they were pretty busy on a Friday night Smoked baba ganoush: 2/5 this was just ok none of us really loved it Hot honey glazed carrots: 1.5/5 the carrots seemed like they were just boiled and had honey drizzled on top. Maybe my bad for misinterpreting the menu but I was expecting a honey glaze on roasted carrots which is definitely not what we got Grilled bone-in pork chop: 5/5 this was super good and made up for the appetizers. I was getting a little impatient by the time this came out so I'm glad this didn't disappoint My cousin got the crispy fried jidori half chicken which she didn't like because she was expecting a grilled chicken but I thought the chicken was really good. Def a bit heavy of a meal overall though and there were way more hush puppies than I would ever want to eat in one sitting read more

A beautiful spot to dine at. Service is excellent staff are very sweet and accommodating. The menu is a little limited, but it is farm to table. I ordered the short ribs as you can never go wrong with short ribs. They were good, but not what I would consider the best short ribs that I've ever had. I think that Napa, so far still has the best short ribs. The short ribs here were a bit on the bland side for me, but they were tender to where you only needed a fork to cut them as they should be. Last call outdoors is a little early and it would've been nice to have it a little later but we may deal with what time we had. Definitely a beautiful spot to come visit and stay if you ever have a chance. read more

I want to leave an honest review about our experience and impressions of this restaurant. My family originally liked this place because of the beautiful view, which is why we decided to come back a second time. Unfortunately, both visits left us with the same uncomfortable impression, particularly regarding the service. The first time we visited, I got the feeling from the overall atmosphere and interactions that we were not particularly welcomed. I tried not to overthink it, but unfortunately, our second visit felt very similar. During our second visit, we were seated and given water. The server clearly recognized us, but it took a long time for him to come back to take our order. Meanwhile, another table that arrived after us was approached and had their order taken before ours. Once we received our food, the server barely checked on our table, while I noticed him checking on other tables much more frequently. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was that a woman who appeared to be a manager or another member of the staff went around to nearly every table, asking how everything was and whether they were enjoying their food, but she completely skipped our table. What was especially disappointing was that the restaurant was not even very busy. It was a weekday. I understand that service can sometimes be slower when a restaurant is crowded, but that wasn't the situation here. I simply expect the same basic courtesy, attention, and hospitality that is given to other guests. The restaurant has a beautiful view and the food is decent, but a pleasant dining experience is about more than the food and scenery. No customer should leave feeling unwelcome because they are not part of the majority. I really wanted to like this place, and I feel especially disappointed because I brought my family back a second time. Unfortunately, having essentially the same experience twice really affected my mood and made me regret bringing them back. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that every guest receives the same welcoming and respectful service, regardless of who they are. read more

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

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

Loved this place! The crispy octopus and salad were definitely my favorites, and the pork chop was absolutely amazing--so tender and flavorful. The mac and cheese and burger were okay, but the food overall was great. The outdoor ambiance is lovely, especially during sunset, which made the experience even more special. Our waiter was also so lovely and attentive, and he surprised me with the mousse for my birthday! read more

We loved Harvest!!! Our server, Scott, was so knowledgeable and friendly! We got the corn agnolotti, seafood chowder, wedge salad with fresh mahi mahi and the pork. All were delicious and fresh with produce and eggs from the property at The Ranch. The restaurant itself was beautiful and everyone was there celebrating a birthday! The apple pie was a bomb ending and we will be back next time in town! read more

Best kept secret (and serene dining setting) in Laguna Beach! We have been here a couple of times and this place doesn't disappoint. The service is impeccable. On this day, our server Edgar went out of his way to deliver outstanding service. My husband asked for something only on the weekday menu and Edgar made it happen - Bravo! He also suggested one of the juices (the carrot and tumeric) and offered a sample so we could try it first (it was delicious). Awesome! That cinnamon roll is the size of a dinner plate, so we split it 3 ways (could have easily served four). The cream cheese frosting isn't overly sweet, so when paired with the candied bacon and maple syrup, it balances out nicely. Yum! Edgar kept my coffee cup full and made sure we didn't need anything. The ceviche is OUTSTANDING. Light chips, fresh fish, expertly seasoned. The addition of the pickled mustard seeds on top add something unique to the flavor profile, so much so that we were googling how to pickle mustard seeds ourselves. Some of the best ceviche we've ever had (and we've had a lot). Could be spicier, but delicious. So the food and service are great - did I mention the view? Sitting on the patio, you overlook a serene canyon and their golf course, and feel like you're in a completely different space. It's so beautiful, peaceful, open, and lush. I could sit on that patio and eat cinnamon rolls and drink my neverending coffee all day long. The ocean-facing restaurants get all the attention in this town. This hidden gem deserves more attention, for sure. 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

The location of the establishment is beautiful and our server last night was absolutely lovely. However, I do not believe I would recommend the food to anyone. We started with the duck drumettes, which were definitely the best dish but nothing special. I chose mussels as my main, but the white sauce was way too thick and creamy and wayyy too salty (this is coming from someone who sprinkles and licks plain salt for fun). I did like the bacon as an additional touch, but again I feel like a sauce for this kind of dish has to be much lighter. My mom ordered the swordfish, but it looked very dry and the mashed potatoes at the base were quite bland. My dad liked his burger, but felt his fries were too burnt. I did really enjoy my martini and felt it was the only well-priced item on the menu. I think I would definitely recommend Harvest to grab drinks with a beautiful view, but dinner would definitely best be served elsewhere. 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

(1/5) The view is beautiful, but unfortunately that's about the only positive thing I can say about our experience. Our food took much longer than tables that were seated after us. Even our appetizers hadn't arrived while other tables that came later were already being served. We had to wait an unreasonable amount of time. Our server was also difficult to find throughout the meal. I asked for a straw, but it never came, so I eventually had to ask a different server, who wasn't even assigned to our table, to bring me one. When our food still hadn't arrived, I again had to ask another server for help because we couldn't find ours. When our server finally came over, he insisted that the other table had been seated before us. After checking, he admitted that they had actually been seated after us--but never apologized. What disappointed me the most wasn't even the wait, but the complete lack of accountability after realizing the mistake. To make matters worse, an 18% gratuity was automatically added to our bill. This charge was not disclosed on the menu, and no one informed us about it beforehand. Being required to pay an 18% gratuity after receiving service like this felt completely unjustified. I'm considering filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because customers deserve transparency and shouldn't be surprised by mandatory charges. The food itself was also disappointing. The BBQ back ribs were noticeably overcooked and had a strong burnt, bitter flavor that overwhelmed the meat. Overall, the food was very average and did not come close to justifying the price. The scenery is the only reason this place gets any stars from me. Everything else--from the service to the food--was disappointing. I won't be returning, and I can't recommend it. 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

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.

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

For the second time in a couple of months I went to Harvest and was disappointed with the service. The food overall is amazing. However the service was a mess two of the three times I have been there in the last three months. For example, dinner app rolls were ordered but came to the table after the entrees arrived. Our server was asked if this is normal and dismissed the question politely but lacked any sincerity. Another example is the Soup came out cold and was returned. But again shallow apology we felt. I really would love to know what is the disconnect at this beautiful restaurant. Would love to go back but will be hesitant! 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

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
