I love Las Brisas! You really can't beat the amazing views of Laguna Beach, and the food and service make the experience even better. Some of my favorites are the seafood tower, the chips and salsa with bean dip, and the jalapeño cornbread. I also love the blackened cod fish sandwich with fries. Everything is delicious! The service is always great, and combined with the beautiful ocean views, it's such an enjoyable place to dine. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Laguna Beach! read more

I had one of the best dining experiences of all time while at Las Brisas this morning. I am in Laguna solo for my first time, and I felt so incredibly welcome by my server, Samantha, and assistant, Manny. Manny had me chuckling as he convinced me to put brown sugar in my coffee and just being the most warm, funny soul. Great human being! And Samantha was also so warm and we found commonality with our Midwest backgrounds! The food was also fabulous. I had the huevos divorciados and it hit the spot! Great flavor and portion size. I sat outside with direct views of the beach and lovely greenery. Couldn't have asked for a better start to the day!! Highly recommend! read more

WARNING: DECEITFUL tipping practices! Suggested tip amounts printed at bottom of check are inflated. Our total with tax was $200. The bill showed $44 for a 20% tip - that's 22% of the taxed total and 24% of the subtotal. We only noticed because when the server took our credit card, he asked if he should add a 20% tip. We were surprised but agreed, then noticed the tip he gave himself was higher than 20%. When we told him this, he said he used what was printed at the bottom. That's when we saw that all the suggest tip amounts were inflated. This is either a system-wide error or an unscrupulous way to mislead guests to leave bigger tips. We told the manager, who replied that no one is forced to leave anything. We also found out that our server got someone's order wrong, then told the manager that we didn't like the dish. Dishonesty and suspicious practices throughout the restaurant. Buyer beware! Aside from that, the view is nice and drinks are good. Food was decent, not amazing, and overpriced because of the location. read more

Las Brisas Restaurant - 20% or $200 is NOT $44! - Desserts Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Came here with 4 girlfriends to celebrate a 50th birthday brunch and the oceanfront window table made the whole experience Definitely a touristy Laguna spot, so parking is either a struggle or $$$. The albacore tostada was tasty but tiny -- more like a mini taco, not ideal for sharing. The seafood tower, though, was the highlight: loaded with big shrimp, oysters, lobster ceviche & more. Perfect for seafood lovers and great to split. Staff seemed a little cold at first, but they were actually very attentive with refills and service throughout brunch. Overall, the food was okay, but the views are unbeatable. If you're visiting Laguna Beach and don't mind a lively touristy scene, this is the spot read more

I came with my daughter and her husband on Mother's Day. We sat outside and my daughter was directly in the sun. They were kind enough to move us inside by a window with a view of the beach and ocean. The waiter had a nice personality. I split poached eggs and a crab omelette, so I had 2 entrees. Food was hot and tasty. I had a delicious slice of cheesecake. Waiter was so nice. Mariachis were walking around playing Mexican music. read more

The Secret Menu Chilaquiles Verdes were absolutely delicious! The house-made tomatillo sauce had the perfect balance of tangy, fresh flavor with just the right amount of sourness. Every bite tasted homemade and authentic. The chips stayed crisp while soaking up all that amazing green sauce, making the dish incredibly satisfying. You can tell the chef takes pride in using quality ingredients and preparing everything with care. If you're a fan of chilaquiles with a bright, flavorful tomatillo kick, this dish is a must-try. Compliments to the chef for creating such a memorable breakfast! Chef, thank you for an amazing meal--I'll definitely be back! The service is impeccable read more

What a beautiful day and view we had for brunch. Ricardo are waiter was the best. Super attentive and friendly. I had chicken and waffles and it was really good. Friends had salmon Benedict that they loved. Highly recommend coming here for brunch and endless mimosas and bloody Mary's! Ask for Ricardo! read more

Dined here today 2/16. Lorenzo was our server. The restaurant was quiet due to the rain but the service was great. The Busser was polite and great customer service as well. We had the ribeye & lobster enchiladas, mushroom risotto, barbacoa short rib. The only suggestion I would have is to offer vegetables or other side options for the kids dishes. read more

Sadly we were very disappointed with our scallops. They were tender, fresh large sea scallops as previously ordered. However, the cream corn tomatillo was a poor substitution for the previous seasoning. Scallops were previously served with asparagus. Now they are served alone. We ordered a side of au gratin potatoes that were bland and needed more cheese. I remember the old days when they served the most delicious corn bread rolls and a choice of sides included with your main course. The service was amazing from the hostess to our server, Norma and the entire wait staff. The spectacular view made the evening worthwhile. read more

Brunch here was such a treat! The charm, history, beautiful flower gardens, and breathtaking ocean views make this place unforgettable. Gorgeous indoor seating with large windows and plenty of outdoor seating let you take in the incredible scenery. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, we especially loved Frank telling us the history! The whole experience feels like stepping back into the glamour of a bygone era! Highly recommend! read more

The view was gorgeous, restaurant beautiful, however, the food?? Gross. We went for brunch, got two lattes, the lemon ricotta pancakes and the French toast. Both dishes were horribly dry, boring and the presentation wasn't impressive at all. I'm disappointed, for the price, the food should've at least tasted good. I repeat, DO NOT GET THE PANCAKES OR FRENCH TOAST. Anyways, enjoy your day. read more

Not as impressive as I had hoped. The meals were good. However, the margaritas were watered down, and we were brought our appetizer after the main course had been served (which we sent back). Still, if you get a table with an ocean view, it may be worth it. But maybe stick with beer or wine... read more

Las Brisas is the best! We came for a girls brunch and everything was fantastic. The margaritas were delicious and the food was just as good, perfect brunch spot with a great atmosphere. Ricardo was our server and he was such a delight. He was attentive, friendly, and really went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The manager, Sarah, even stopped by our table to check in and make sure everything was going well, which we really appreciated. Overall it was such a great experience. Amazing service, great drinks, and delicious food -- we'll definitely be back! read more

I came here for the 4 course prix fix Valentine's Day Dinner with my partner and my friends and felt we were treated poorly and disregarded from this server who seemed to be in charged of the area we were seated. We actually had a different server from everyone and everyone around us were getting a rose but we didn't get any. We asked our server if she could bring the heat up in the heater, but she was unable to bring it up and said it was the highest temperature. But towards the end of our dinner the server who was serving everyone else asked if he could move the heater towards another spot and proceeded to put the heater up to its highest. Right as we were leaving he decided to change the temperature. After we put in our order it took about 15 + minutes for us to get our appetizers, I ordered a seafood cóctel and as I was eating it I found a blonde hair in my food. I waited for our server to come by but the only one that was near by was the guy who was serving everyone else and my partner had to wave him down to get his attention. He proceeded to take my app away but didn't seem bothered by it. Then later on it looked like one of the managers brought out my new cocktail and said it was fresh but she didn't have any compensation for the incident. In general my friends and I felt like we were discriminated by the service. Everyone around us got treated better and more attentiveness towards them. We waited long periods of time for each of our courses while everyone else's food came out faster than us. Also the price we paid just didn't justify for the food quality and service we had to endure for our time. read more

Beautiful location right on the beach with amazing views. The service was good, but weekend brunch menu is pretty limited. The food was average and the portions were fairly small for the price. Granted, it's on the beach, but the parking situation is ridiculous. The valet lot is tiny, and street parking is a literal fist fight to get within blocks, unless you're willing to pay $35-$50 for 2-3 hours of parking at a private lot 3 blocks and a hill away read more

"Had an amazing brunch! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented.

Beautiful view. Great service - especially by Frank. Tasty breakfast potatoes. Good for groups.

Our server Ricardo was the best! Friendly and attentive. The food was great with a wonderful view.

Outdoor patio with umbrellas is the way to spend your summer lunch or dinner. Great appetizers and delightfully refreshing cocktails. It does get warm on the patio with the glass windows because it blocks the breeze. Servers are nice, but even on a slow day they do take their time. read more

Las Brisas - Laguna Beach, CA If you're visiting Laguna Beach and looking for a postcard-perfect view with your meal, Las Brisas delivers--just don't expect the food or service to match the scenery. Price vs. Quality With entrées hovering in the $50-100 range, you'd hope for culinary fireworks. Instead, the food is consistently average at best, with dishes like lobster enchiladas and seafood cocktails that sound exciting but often fall flat in flavor and execution A. Locals know: you're paying for the view, not the meal. ‍ Service Service here is a mixed bag. While some diners report friendly staff, many others--myself included--have experienced long wait times, inattentive servers, and a general sense of being lost in the shuffle A. For a restaurant that's been around since 1938, you'd expect smoother operations. Ambience This is where Las Brisas shines. Perched cliffside on 361 Cliff Dr, the panoramic ocean views are undeniably stunning A. It's the kind of place you bring out-of-town guests to impress them with the scenery--just maybe grab drinks and guac, then head elsewhere for dinner. Bottom Line Las Brisas is a tourist magnet for good reason: the location is unbeatable. But if you're a local or a savvy traveler looking for a memorable meal, there are better options nearby that offer more flavor, better service, and a fairer price tag. Laguna Beach has no shortage of gems--this one's just a little too polished on the outside and hollow within. read more

Had brunch on Sunday with my family and the one and only Ricardo from Acapulco took care of us. The service was excellent and very attentive.

I would give 10 stars if I could! Valet parking for $10 in Laguna Beach!! Yes please!! Las Brisas does not disappoint! Went on Saturday, April 11 at 11:30am for two 30th birthdays brunch and were seated right away even though our entire party wasn't there yet. We had a beautiful inside seat by the window overlooking the amazing ocean view and rose garden--simply stunning! Jose Lui greeted us immediately and started us on bottomless mimosas and kept them flowing throughout the meal. What a meal! Everyones order came out fast and fabulous! The food, views, ambiance and service was simply amazing! Thank you so much Las Brisas and Jose Luis for making our day so special! read more

Okay, so I knew this place had an awesome location and we wanted to try it, but the reviews are either great or terrible, so we went with fingers crossed, as you can see from the 5 stars we got the good version - so here is what i think happens - we went on friday afternoon at 3.30 pm for a very early drinks and dinner - in the (gorgeous) outdoor area we were in there were 20 tables, but only 8 taken - so... the service was quite reasonably good - I think if all 20 were taken we would have had a completely different experience - valet parking is a must, parking around there is impossible, that was $20 fully worth it - now for the price... well... it is probably one of the most beautiful restaurant locations in America, so.... suck it up buttercup - 5 people drinks and dinner was $ 550 with tip - cocktails and wine by the glass, plenty of appetizers and mains - now for the food, it was excellent, so again where people say they had a terrible experience, for me it can only be that the kitchen gets overwhelmed and you start getting cold food or whatever, but ours was hot, fresh and really good - we had short rib, mole enchiladas, a mixed burrito special, flautas, calamari appetizers and other dishes all very good - cocktails were delicious - so, good luck my friends, try not to go in peak hour! (they did play loud "miami" music in the courtyard, but we liked it. read more

Best experience overall for us on the island. While the service was nothing to speak about, the ambiance especially the open-air views of Chalk Sound were excellent. The food also did not disappoint.

The location and ambience itself were great! They have a lot of seating that we were able to sit by the window by the water. The food was avg. The portions were not impressive. My daughter ordered shrimp risotto. I had a surf and turf dish with 1 steak enchilada and 1 lobster enchilada for $35 or so. Nothing else went with them. When I reserved on Open Table it asked if we were celebrating anything. I indicated bday. In fact our family was celebrating 3 bdays. There were 5 adults and 2 kids. At the restaurant no one acknowledged that we were celebrating bdays. My husband didnt want to order desserts for everyone bc the dinner was already pricey totaling almost $300. They didn't offer a complimentary dessert. I had to ask if they offered any complimentary dessert since we were celebrating 3 bdays. The server was hesitant and said that he'll see what he can do and that he can probably get a small cake. He came back with one piece of cake with 3 candles and several forks which we appreciated and enjoyed. read more

They have ruined the brunch experience. The $40/50 entree includes nothing but the entree. No pastries, fruit or even champagne anymore. EVERYTHING ELSE IS ALA CARTE. Talk about a rip off. They used to have a nice brunch but not anymore. I won't be going back as the entree alone is not worth the price. Service, just so-so. The only saving grace is the view but you don't have to pay the prices to get that. read more
