    Short Rib Stroganoff
    Doryaneh M.

    I went to this place with my dad after finding it on Yelp. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere inside, though it felt a bit too dark. Our server was okay -- not very friendly, but maybe she was just having a tough day or was behind. The food was decent but not perfect. I ordered the tuna sandwich and the Stroganoff spaghetti, and while the flavors were good, both dishes felt overly oily.

    Crispy slaw
    Ann L.

    Reunion is located in Boat Canyon shopping center in Laguna Beach. There is ample parking and reservations are recommended during the summer. My friend and I decided to split the Sourdough cheeseburger that came with several side choices. We chose the shoestring fries and we ordered an additional side of crispy slaw. The cheeseburger was ok, nothing special. Seemed a bit greasy to me. The shoestring fries were good and the crispy slaw had way too much Thai peanut dressing. The prices are a bit high for average food.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Jesse H.

    Came to Reunion after an eventful wedding weekend on a Sunday morning! Ordered the Hawaiian bread French toast, Chicken & Biscuits, Breakfast Sandwich with sausage, Hangover breakfast burrito, and the chilaquiles w/ over medium eggs. Started off with the French toast, which was phenomenal, a little too crunchy and stiff at the bottom but delicious otherwise. The chicken and biscuits was delicious and savory! The breakfast burrito was huge and full of flavor! The chilaquiles were a little dry but had delicious taste. The breakfast sandwich was good but the sausage patty had a very weird consistency, so we took it off and ate just an egg and cheese sandwich. All in all 4/5. The service was great and fast, our server was very attentive and always fast with refills. The restaurant was a bit on the slower side but it's expected on a Coachella weekend, the city was a bit less packed than normal. The vibe was quiet with an older crowd trickling in throughout the morning.

    This place definitely disappointed me. I have had this restaurant on my list for awhile and I will not go back. The experience was not horrible. Mainly the food and price was disappointing . The food was very average and the price point was quite high. Service was great. We received the food very fast. And the server gave us good options. The place is pretty small but we were lucky to not have a wait. I am not sure if there usually is one but the place was busy but not absolutely full. As for the food, my favorite plate was the jalapeño poppers. They were grilled nicely and the bacon was crispy. As for my plate, I tried the shortrib based off of the servers recommendation. Though it was pricier, I felt that I would rather pay for something amazing than something basic. The food was good but it was nothing better than what you can get an any other restaurant. The mashed potatoes were fine, but they did not stand out. They were not buttery or garlicky. They were just plain, also the onion straws did nothing for the plate. As for the horseradish sauce, it was only drizzled on, I requested an additional side after receiving the dish in hopes that it would add a pop of flavor. I was incorrect. It was more of a horseradish sauce diluted in sour cream. The Asian crispy ribs were good. Definitely crispy. But again nothing out of this world. I can best compare the food and vibe to a Yard House. Though I think you would have more options and better flavored dishes at Yard House. The price here was not justified. The food here wasn't amazing. The portions weren't extra large (just normal). So I think it's a bit over priced. I say skip this restaurant. Find a Yard House or a Lazy dog. Honestly, I would have been happier going to the Ruby's Diner nearby. Again, service and all of the employees were nice. Just the food did not hit the spot.

    Short Rib Stroganoff
    Colin O.

    The short rib dishes were both very tasty. And the portions were also pretty decent. The chicken wings were crispy but a little bland. Dipping sauce was ok, chili sauce definitely better than buffalo. The calamari was also very good. Will definitely come back if I am in the area.

    Loaded Deviled Eggs
    Jamie A.

    Always an incredible experience at Reunion but especially love their Laguna location. Bf got the wedge salad and cup of French onion soup which he really enjoyed and I got the amazingggg juicy patty melt on a brioche bun (so a burger? Haha) with the outstanding and absolutely sinful warm potato salad. That thing is addicting!!! We also shared the loaded deviled eggs to start and agreed it was delicious. The portions are so generous and fit the price and the quality of the food is unmatched. We also loved the attentive service and gorgeous Saturday evening ambiance for a cozy dinner. Their negroni is also fantastic! We will be in again soon.

    French toast 10/10!
    Nancy R.

    Went for brunch on a Saturday with friends. The food is delicious, the French toast was a 10/10! Juan was our sever, he was great! Very attentive. Will definitely visit again.

    Citrus salmon salad without onions & peppers was delicious. Generous on the salmon.
    Terri K.

    Yummy food, great drinks, amazing service & large portions. We will be back. My husband's vanilla old fashioned was wonderful. My wine pour was very generous. The chicken pot pie was large & my husband loved it. I had the salmon citrus salad, the salmon was cooked perfectly & citrus dressing was light with great flavor. Kevin was an excellent server. Checked in, was present & helpful.

    BBQ Glazed Meatloaf
    Kenny J.

    Very quaint space with a nice combination modern style and beach nostalgia. The food was outstanding. Salads were delicious, flatiron steak prepared perfectly, and meatloaf was ridiculous. The had the Thursday night football game on for us to enjoy conversation and keep track of the score. Jaden provided superb service and dinner recommendations. Loved they had mocktail options.

    i went here for valentine's day! i've been to this one and the one in anaheim, the one here in laguna has a more fancy aesthetic. feels a little more boujee haha, food was great and service was fast. reservation was easy to make even if it was last minute. their butter cake is to DIE for

    Blood Mary
    Ken Z.

    Overall: stopped by here on a whim but was really impressed with the quality of food Food: 5/5 +RECOMMEND: skirt steak was cooked a perfect medium rare paired with a nice sauce +Blue cheese on the mashed potatoes offered a nice amount of tang +Asparagus was cooked just enough +They toned down the spiciness of the Bloody Mary at my request. The stuffed bacon wrapped jalapeño was yummy Service: 5/5 Despite us being there for a late lunch, the staff were really attentive to our orders and requests. Ambiance: 4/5 Classic restaurant-close-to-the-water vibes with dashes of surfer inspirations. Clean and cool. Since it wasn't too crowded, not too noisy.

    Juan is always very attentive

    Do u still offer bottomless mimosas for brunch?

    No, they do not have a service staff

    Hi Nikole, our Happy Hour is from 4pm to 6pm, Monday through Friday. $2 off all Snack Plates…

Some places sell mediocre food just because there's a view and they think they can get away with it. Everything ties together here. Janelle was our server last night and she was sweet, attentive, and very polite. We were lucky to sit outside, closer to the street, and had a great view of the ocean. Food was great: Duck wings: 10/10, sticky sauce that's so addicting Bone in ribeye: 9/10, not a huge fan of blue cheese but the steak was great! Cioppino: 10/10, the rosemary focaccia paired really well and was perfect to soak up the soup! Overall, we'd definitely come back again.

Sal, the man in charge at the time-- apologized to my party and was more than willing to make sure we don't leave his restaurant hungry. He was willing to create a second chance for us to change our opinion of their restaurant. And our opinions changed in a snap! He lead us to be seated in sight for the beautiful laguna beach. Their hospitality & attentiveness the second time was more than enough to compensate our initial experience. The food that was served to us was worth the wait for every bite! I'd like to thank Sal for making it out of his way to ensure that anyone that comes into his restaurant leaves satisfied! Also a big thank you to Mariah, as she made my party feel welcomed. Another big shout out to the kind lady bussing tables and serving waters for her kindness and speed! No apologies were expected by my party and I, but we're grateful to have this experience tonight.

We got seated at our table at our table around 4:30p and had the most perfect view of the ocean! *we went on a Friday night and noticed the patio cleared out about 4:45-5pm and I didn't appear to have a lot of people waiting during that time. The main patio was covered with umbrellas, so once you are seated for dinner, there was plenty of umbrellas for shade and heaters for when it got a little cooler. For our food orders, and as recommended by our server, we went with their seafood options and ordered their Pacific Ceviche for an appetizer and for Entrees my husband got the Roasted Halibut and me and my mother-in-law both got the Scallop and Shrimp pasta. We all loved our dishes and were very satisfied with our choices. Their menu does have non-seafood options, but why not to try what they're most prominent for?

I ordered the scallop and shrimp pasta, and on my very first bite of the scallop, it had a strong ammonia taste--a common sign that seafood has gone bad. After that, I completely lost my appetite and couldn't eat the rest of my meal. My daughter ordered the cioppino, and after checking the seafood in her dish, we noticed the scallop was also very rubbery and didn't seem fresh either. Fresh seafood is something restaurants should never compromise on. Based on this experience, I can't recommend eating here and would suggest trying another restaurant instead.

A quick tip before you go: parking is either available on the street (if you're lucky enough to find a spot) or through valet for $15. The restaurant is located inside the hotel, and once you enter you'll take the elevator down to Level 1, where you'll be greeted with beautiful ocean views. We had a reservation and were seated very quickly. While we waited for our table to be cleared, Ava, our host, was so sweet and personable. She took the time to chat with us, shared some of her favorite menu recommendations, and when she noticed us unsuccessfully trying to take a selfie overlooking the water, she kindly offered to take a photo for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Throughout dinner, Jesse was assisting our table, and he was fantastic. He always seemed to appear at just the right time without ever feeling intrusive. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening. Our main server, Carson, was equally amazing. He was welcoming from the moment we sat down, incredibly attentive, and you could tell he genuinely cared about providing a great dining experience. His recommendations were spot on, he checked in on us regularly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever rushing us. The food was excellent. I absolutely loved the burrata salad, and my husband ordered the lobster bisque. At first, he thought the portion might be on the smaller side, but between the bisque and the bread, he ended up completely satisfied. Speaking of the bread--don't skip it! The butter, made with grass-fed cream, was absolutely incredible and made the appetizer even more memorable. Overall, Splashes exceeded our expectations. From the warm hospitality to the attentive service and delicious food, every part of the experience was exceptional. It truly deserves all of its five-star reviews. A huge thank you to Carson, Jesse, and Ava for making our evening so memorable. No notes, just a fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

It's Laguna so parking can be difficult but it's possible to find metered parking on the nearby cross streets if you don't mind walking a little. We opted to use their valet parking but it's $6 per hour. The restaurant is surrounded by cute shops and there's an area where they have live music on certain nights. There are a decent amount of tables outside with umbrellas for shade. If you come for happy hour on a weekday, it's only available in the upper area by the bar. We came on a Tuesday for happy hour (3- 6pm), so cocktails were $2 off and starters were half priced. They don't have that many cocktails to choose from, so I just got their red Seasonal Sangria ($16). It didn't come in a wine glass which was a little odd but it was fine. We shared their Shrimp Ceviche ($23) and Bruschetta ($19). The ceviche was okay but the bruschetta was excellent. They also had taco specials (I assume because it was Tuesday) so they were $4- 5 à la carte. I tried the Mahi Mahi and Shrimp tacos and surprisingly really liked them. The Mahi Mahi tasted fresh and so did the corn tortillas. I would definitely come back for Taco Tuesday and anytime I'm looking to dine with an ocean view.

Great martinis, and overall we enjoyed our food (blackened fish sandwich with fries and the bistro plate) and the energetic vibe. Not 5 stars because I ordered the filet medium rare and it came well-done, and the French onion soup was lukewarm with a slice of unmelted cheese floating on top. Also the floor was oddly slippery, and it was actually comical watching people a few drinks deep trying to navigate to the bathroom without falling. This is in a main tourist drag so my expectations were managed, and I'd still come back for drinks when I'm in the area. It's only a 10 min walk from Pageant of the Masters, though valet parking (down the street at their sister restaurant South of Nicks) closes around 10:30pm so plan accordingly.

The food is very good. The drinks are potent and balanced, as all tiki things should be. The staff are sweethearts. They genuinely care about your experience. Find me a place in nuclear fallout distance of LA that does that. I truly hope this location succeeds and lasts another lifetime. Pricey as it may be, it returns the favor in aloha. 5 stars. Parking beware.

    I had one of the most unusual and disappointing restaurant experiences I've ever had here on July…read more3. I arrived ahead of my friends for a late lunch/early dinner and walked up to the host stand to ask if there was a table available. I was immediately told the restaurant was completely booked. I texted my friends to see if they had made reservations, and thankfully they had. When we checked in together, we clearly told the staff that we had dogs with us and assumed we'd be seated on the patio. Instead, we were seated inside. We thought it was odd, but trusted there was a reason for it. What made the experience so confusing was that we spent about an hour and a half there, and the restaurant remained almost completely empty the entire time. The patio was also essentially empty. The only other party seated near us was upset that there were dogs inside and made it very obvious. To be clear, we never asked to sit indoors....we expected and preferred the patio. As we were leaving, I overheard the host ask another employee, "Do you think that dog's actually a service dog?" That caught me completely off guard because we never claimed our dogs were service animals. It felt like an unnecessary assumption. Looking back, the entire experience left me with more questions than answers. Why tell someone the restaurant is completely booked when both the dining room and patio stayed largely empty? Why seat guests with dogs inside when the patio was available? I don't make accusations lightly, but as a person of color, I couldn't help but wonder whether I was being treated differently. I can't say for certain that was the case, but it's how the experience made me feel, and it's not something I've ever felt comfortable writing in a review before. To make matters worse, the food didn't make up for the experience. It was mediocre at best, especially considering the prices. For what they charge, I expected much better quality and flavor. Instead, I left feeling like I had overpaid for an underwhelming meal. Overall, I walked away feeling confused, unwelcome, and disappointed. Between the strange seating situation, the comments from the staff, the overpriced food, and the overall experience, I don't see myself returning.

    First of all, as you can imagine, the hotel itself is beautiful and has a spectacular view. From…read morethe vallet at the front to the hosts & wait staff... Everyone provided excellent customer service. Everything on the brunch menu sounded divine. When the food came out, no one was disappointed... We were all beyond pleased with the taste of our food as well as the service provided. If you want a lovely experience, come to The Loft at the Montage, then frolic on the beach for a perfect day. It was a memorable day for our beautiful birthday celebrant... excellent choice, bday girl!

    We had a nice lunch for our party of 6 on a recent Sunday thanks to the great customer service by…read moreMathieu and the rest of the staff at The Loft. Located inside The Montage resort... We had just checked in across the street at Le Petit Pali & wanted to have a late, light lunch prior to our early dinner at Selanne Steak. Our friends had a couple of suites that they had just checked into at The Montage so we wanted to be nearby to hang out. We were seated on one of the balcony dining areas and it was a beautiful, sunny with a cool wind Laguna day. The lady & I opted to split at porchetta sandwich ($32) which comes with pickled red peppers, arugula, caramelized cippolini onion on a ciabatta bun. It was exactly what I needed. It came with perfectly cooked fries. The porchetta itself was tasty and hit the spot... What stood out most to us was the way Mathieu and the staff split our sandwich. They plated each half of the porchetta sandwich with equal portion fries on separate plates. Their foresight to do this was not lost on us. Another couple we were with, also shared their sandwich and they did the same for them. We really appreciate them going above and beyond. Also ordered at our table was grilled tiger prawns ($32) and greek yogurt parfait ($20) with seasonal berries, house-made granola & wildflower honey... Everyone at our table enjoyed our orders. The view, the weather and the service was great. Thanks Mathieu... We'll be back with bigger appetites.
