In a way they were right, the restaurant itself was booming and the ambience is chic. Staff was nice and service was quick but at the end of the day the food is the only thing that truly matters and it was just mid. Rigatoni & cheese- Bland and flavorless, could benefit from salt and pepper. Sucks because this dish was the driving force for my visit. I didn't even finish it, and I never leave food ),: 2/5 Burger- Cheese felt low quality, reminiscent of a Mac Donald's cheese burger. Fries were the best part of the meal, which is honestly just sad. 3/5 Fries are 5/5. Can't recall the drink I ordered but it was pretty good! 5/5

We never felt rushed or pressured to order quickly. I got the spicy chicken sandwich after seeing previous reviews, and my wife got the Lagunaian wedge and Mac & cheese. Everything was exceptional. I love blue cheese, but am not the biggest fan of fried chicken with cheese on it. This combo flipped me on my head, so delicious with the blue cheese slaw. The Mac & cheese was almost like a hybrid of a baked Mac and a gooier stovetop style Mac, and the six cheese blend added a lot of depth of flavor. We have already agreed that we will be back at least once more while we're down here for the chicken sandwich again.

We sat at the bar, and the bartenders would have our "regular" drinks prepared almost before we sat down. We live in Laguna and had never been to Nicks here in Laguna! The food was a "B-" compared to our other experiences at Nicks in Pasadena. We asked for a quiet cozy table, and we were put next to the kitchen. It was so loud we could not hear each other speak. We had to ask to be moved outside which was not much better. If you are looking for cozy and quiet, this is not the place. If you want the loud bar scene, this is perfect for you. We will go back on a cold rainy night in the winter which should be better. Sorry Nick.

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!

They also have complimentary valet which was nice…read more 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

Customer service was really good as well! Everyone was friendly, attentive and made us feel welcomed. Definitely one of those random finds that ends up being worth it. I'd for sure come back next time I'm in the area!

Support staff was excellent and always at the ready to refill water and meet any request. Our large group was well attended. The food was outstanding. Appetizers including crab guacamole, ahi tuna tartare, and wagyu beef tataki were standouts. All of the entrees were well prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. We were delighted that Chef Paul came to our table to check on us during the meal. The entertainment provided by the Dave Stephens band was the icing on the cake. We loved having live music during our celebration. This is a premier Orange County restaurant. Parking can be tough so plan on using their valet service or Uber. What a great night! We highly recommend The Drake and will definitely be back. PS we were too busy eating to take good pics of the food but you get the idea.

Ceviche - A little on the small side, but super fresh and great flavor :) The location is right on the beach with ocean views and that makes everything better We had a group of 7 and our server was awesome. She was really sweet, kept checking in on us, and made everything easy even with a bigger group. If you're in Laguna and looking for a spot with good food, great views, and a chill vibe, The Deck is always a great choice. There's so many options and haven't had a bad dish here ever. I didn't order them this Time but we normally get the dozen oysters and they are delicious too

Gregg is truly a gem and such a wonderful representation of the hospitality this venue provides. Between the incredible beach views, gorgeous sunset, amazing food, outstanding service, talented bartender, and the unforgettable personality of Gregg, this place checks every box. We had such a wonderful time and will absolutely be back!
