The deck is a great place to have a meal and look out over the vast Pacific Ocean. The views from the outdoor seating area are absolutely stunning. The service is great and the food is really good. This is the second or third time we've been to the deck while visiting Laguna Beach and it does not disappoint. We shared several different items between the four of us and enjoyed delicious cocktails. Definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in Laguna Beach during the day & really take in those view! read more

a bit difficult to find and is really small. i didn't eat here because of how busy it was. it was so busy there was someone in the way at the end of the stairs. wasn't a big fan of the environment. probably not a place for younger people or something because older people that were there were staring, of course i know it's not the restaurants fault just saying. got there around 5pm put name on wait for 2 people and was told about an hour. i was told to not order from the bar while i waited, never heard of that before as i also work at a restaurant. not sure what the policy is here for that. i was ok with waiting, but i went back to ask for a table by the rail since i was waiting a bit already anyway. the lady in front of me put her name down and was told her wait time would be 30-40 mins, so i was confused why hers was shorter than mine maybe the wait time changed and i'd wait less? anyway i told the host my request to sit by the rail and she said it would be a little longer, but that's ok that's what i expected. i actually never received a text that my table was ready and i thought maybe it was the wrong number put down, but who knows. kind of disappointed because i saw this place online a year ago and was excited to finally try it. i didnt get to and just went to eat somewhere else read more

Was really looking forward to a great mid afternoon 'Linner- lunch / dinner' after a day of apartment hunting down in Laguna and my significant other came across this place on social media. Wait time was probably about 30 minutes which wasn't too bad because we ended up getting a great corner table right on the beach. Our waiter was super nice and friendly. Recommended the mahi mahi as I asked help in choosing between three things and my boyfriend chose the beach burger. The food was well cooked with no complaints but really disappointing that they only come with chips. Really could have used French fries which would have landed this a better review. When you pay $21/$24 for sandwiches would just be a better side than chips to satisfy your hunger. Wouldn't you agree? My boyfriend liked the drinks too. Great view though, can't beat it. Too bad they couldn't have a private beach setting so you didn't have beach goers in photos and view. But that's not a big deal. Recommend for view and beach ambience. The mahi mahi and burger were good but would have wanted more with fries. read more

Loved the service and the food, then add on top a view of the ocean! I had the Mahi Mahi sandwich which was beautiful. It had a healthy amount of arugula, onions, and some sauce or butter which gave it good flavor. It was served with chips. My husband had the 1/2 chicken, which he loved, and my son had pasta with shrimp, which he loved. Our server, Ryan, made the experience a joyful memory. If you're in the area, stop here! read more

Such a nice spot with beautiful beachfront view! My friend and I stopped by for some drinks and snacks. We got margaritas, white wine, and chips with guac. Staff was welcoming and gave lots of recommendations. A little on the pricier side but guess that makes sense for the location and views. We enjoyed our time there and i would be back if I'm in the area. The only downside of this spot is getting there can be a bit of a hassle. read more

This place was pretty popular on the weekday that we went there. This place has good food and a great view of the beach. It's a very relaxing place to hang out at the end of the day, have a drink, and eat some seafood. The clams and mussels were delicious. One had a butter sauce and the other had a tomato-based sauce. Both were delicious and came with garlic bread to dip into the broth. The pan-seared halibut was also delicious and tasted fresh. We'll definitely come here again to try the different dishes on the menu. read more

No reservations required. We came on a Sunday. 30 minute wait. This gem is located right on the beach. They have a full bar. Intimate setting perfect for sunset dinner view. I'm sad it was a gloomy day but will definitely be back in the summer! They heated lamps on deck to keep us warm! The food was 10/10! Super impressed with their seafood tower. Their tuna poke as mouthwatering! It had a Santa Fe chipotle twist to it. Ceviche was fresh and so were the oysters, crab claws and lobster! Definitely recommend the seafood tower to try a bit of everything! We also ordered the scallop pasta!! The flavors bursted in your mouth! Perfect sauce to angel hair pasta ratio! I will want this again. Clam chowder... drool worthy! They had bits of bacon and celery in it!!! Soooo good. So I couldn't decide on their key lime pie or sticky toffee pudding - I told the waiter to surprise me! Thank God he brought out the sticky pudding --- ok seriously, one of the BEST I've ever had. So moist, perfect texture and not too sweet. I will come here over and over again!!! Perfect spot, perfect view! Service was amazing!!!! Very friendly and approachable-- this is going on my fave spots to eat list!!!! read more

We have been coming here for years and have gone through several of their menu changes! But it's been around 8 months the last time we were here. This place gets packed during summer or any good sunny day, especially on weekends. So, I'm glad to be able to come here on a weekday for lunch on a nice California day! There were only 2 of us so we were seated closest to the sand/ edge (tables at end are 2 seater). And place was not full yet. We were served by Christian R who is very pleasant and attentive. And of course, we come here mostly for the view!! The amazing view, so close to the ocean. This time we got the Laguna Cioppino and the Beach Burger. The cioppino has so much seafood (and variety of) and good! It comes with yummy buttered and toasted bread. The burger is really good too. These are two of our go to's here. Good place to chill, eat and drink while soaking the beautiful California sun. And to mesmerize on how nice it is to live in SoCal! read more

This place has great views, especially at sunset. Couple that with friendly and timely service and this place is amazing. The food was exceptional and was the real star. I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese with bacon. It was so good, I'd say some of the best comfort food I've ever had. My wife had the same, but my daughter had the clam chowder. I had to food tax the chowder and it was as good as the tomato soup. I can't wait to go back to try the seafood because so many things looked delicious. This place is well worth a stop when in Laguna. read more

I'm so happy I went here this past weekend. The food was delicious and very tasty. It came out so fast. The service was great. Our waiter was very attentive and provided everything we needed. The view...need I say more? The seasoning was on point. The portions were big, and totally worth the price. There were 3 of us and we ordered 4 appetizers with 3 main. We didn't expect the portions to be that big. Very delicious and will definitely come back. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Laguna Beach. I always make a reservation before getting there so checking in is an ease. I also always valet. The streets are narrow and honestly I wouldnt even know where I could park. The host is usually very nice and I do like to request outdoor seating which has always been accommodated. The food is so good and my server is friendly. I come often and some of my favorites are no longer on the menu but the items that are still on there are consistently good. The view is amazing and of course OC weather is perfect. Great for lunch and a drive down PCH. Perfect spot to bring out of towners. read more

Fabulous experience recently when me and a few friends decided to hit this patio restaurant bar for cocktails and a preshow dinner. First off the view of the shoreline and sunset were AWESOME, perfect backdrop to start a weekend of fun. Service was great, accommodating and welcoming. The first couple arrived at the bar, later joined by more of us and we squeezed in since it would be sometime before we could get a table (no reservations but no matter). The bar tender told us we could order food at the bar so that works since we didn't want to be late for the show. Well shortly after ordering drinks, a table miraculously opened up for our group so we moved. The food was great as I had a seafood Cobb salad which hit the spot. Others had fish tacos, hamburgers and said their food was delicious. No complaints at all from our group and only thanks to me for choosing this place to meet up at. A winner in my mind and I'll be sure to come back next time I am in the area! read more

A lovely restaurant for dinner by the beach with fresh seafood dishes and good service! I love a good citrusy and umami ceviche, so would definitely order that again The salmon was also cooked well, burger was solid, and the Deck tacos were actually my favorite even though I'm not a big fan of shrimp, that taco with the salsa exceeded my expectations for an appetizer. read more

Hidden restaurant right on the beach. Not viewable from the street but you'll have to turn into what looks like a small apartment unit but next to it you'll see a little sign that directs you to the Deck (next to driftwood). There's also valet so once you get down you shouldn't struggle too much to find this place. You can smell the salty water right when you get off. Came here to just relax in the sun and hear the sound of the waves. Was feeling a little hungry so decided to try the grilled cheese sandwich which was made with warm delicious mozzarella with grilled onions and bacon (personally asked for bacon to be excluded). This meal comes with a bowl of tomato bisque. This was the perfect meal for an overcast day. They also have oysters on a half shell and a full bar. Would be a nice place to grab light appetizer (or meal) with drinks by the water. read more

Unbeatable vibes and views - & worth the wait (during Labor Day weekend) The Deck gave us an experience worth remembering. Brandon, Lawrence, and the manager treated us like we were the only ones there even though we showed up with quite the crowd. They helped us get settled with two tables of six and another table of four, which made everything run smoothly. One part of our group was seated later by a third party, and while it took a while, once they were finally seated the staff did a great job of prioritizing them and making sure they were well taken care of. The setting alone is breathtaking, but the food holds its own next to the views. The ceviche was fresh and bright, the mahi mahi sandwich was delicious, the shrimp tacos disappeared fast, and even the grilled cheese and chicken sandwich had their own flair. Every bite felt thoughtful and delicious. My friend commented on the grilled cheese being the best she had ever ate. What tied it all together was the team. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help, they made the night flow effortlessly. The Deck is the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer and already plan your return before you leave. Good job team! read more

Such a cute hidden gem! The food and service were exceptional, and the views were stunning! Inside is a minimalist style restaurant with nice big windows to view the ocean. They have a few 2 seater tables outside on the patio with beautiful views above and below the glass, with umbrellas to keep you cool on sunny days. I went for brunch during the week and was seated immediately outside on the deck. Our service was quick and attentive. Our food was also yummy, with fresh ingredients. It was such a treat! I will definitely come back for more bites and views! *Parking is valet only--limited street parking up on the main road. read more

This place has stunning ocean views. Come at sunset for the glistening waves, soaring seagulls, and to watch the surfers. The whole view is oh-so-very Orange County. The food exceeded our expectations. There are many oceanfront restaurants along the coast that will bank on their locations but then short- change you on the quality of their food. But we found the charcuterie platter had a nice variety of cheeses, and both the hamburger and mahi mahi burger were quite good. Deducted a star for the service, although the place was packed. The bar seating is first-come, first-served for drinks; tables require a main dish. Note: seating limit is 1.5 hours, although I'm not sure how strictly that policy is enforced. read more

Great views, Cool atmosphere and good food. Our waiter was especially impressive. He was handling a new hire and most of the tables, all with a smile.

Oysters-- delish but I did get sick:( Ceviche- good cioppino-- wow! The bread was amazing, the mussels clam, fish, scallop all delish! Blacked ribeye Cobb-- woooow delish! Drink-- California cooler was recommended and good/refreshing! Great service by everyone on their team. Thank you The Deck!! read more

I have been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Even when the deck is packed. The servers and bartender have been very timely. Most recently, I had the shrimp and chorizo tacos - they are a must try. It was a cold day, so decided on grilled cheese and tomato soup. The grilled cheese is complex with a number of cheeses and the tomato soup has a nice creamy base. A few recommendations: - park on PCH right above the restaurant. Easier to leave vs valet. - get seafood or the servers recommendations. As example - I don't think you go to the deck for a burger. It's fine, just not unique. - wait to sit along the railing, you never know what you will see in the ocean - cocktails traditionally are a stiff pour. Sip and enjoy - you are not coming here to get loaded. - walking space can be tight. That plus the stairs to the deck and the hill to PCH make it a tough trip for elderly / injured - so plan accordingly and be patient. read more

Another longtime favorite of ours -- and honestly, the views from the outdoor patio can't be beat. This visit did not disappoint: Crab Louie salad - so fresh and flavorful Lobster quesadilla - always a banger Grilled cheese - my kids were obsessed (and I get why... so good) It's one of those spots that just feels like Laguna in the best way. One comment, the service can be improved...for some reason, i as a customer always feel like I'm inconveniencing the staff by being there. Not a great feeling. read more

Hard to find a good place for seafood. We ended up a place called the Deck. We got to sit and enjoy our food with a view. The clam chowder lacked potatoes and clams but was tasty once I added in Tabasco which I would have never thought to put on it. But they gave a little bottle so I thought heck why not and it was delicious. The mahi mahi sandwich lacked seasoning but the fish was very flaky and was cooked properly and not dry. Overall it was an ok experience. Our waiter was average. read more

Really cute restaurant where you are on the deck overlooking the beach! Really close to the waters which was pretty cool! They don't sit you until your whole party is there so make sure you all arrive there relatively at the same time! We ordered their ceviche and mussels and clams. Both dishes tasted good! Maybe on the saltier side but they're both meant to be salty. Overall a cute chill restaurant with decent foods read more

What I liked: The food portions here are INSANE. Tons of leftovers for all of us. The seafood entrees we ordered (including the tuna tartare, mahi mahi burger, and seared halibut) were all very fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Very friendly waitstaff. Outdoor seating with heat lamps! Unobstructed views of Laguna Beach. Options to walk along the beach for a post-meal stroll! Minor criticisms: I wish we had shaded options for our table, especially now that I'm at an age where I care highly about protecting my skin from the sun. A little noisy with aircraft flying over the waters. Indoor seating options would be nice for especially cooler days. All in all, I would gladly come again for another meal! read more

Took the husband on a day-time date off season (early October). We parked without any trouble by the lagoon and walked along the beach to The Deck. It looks like they have valet. Both Driftwood and The Deck are not dog friendly. We got there at 11am on a Thursday and it was empty although the place started filling up as we enjoyed the atmosphere. We like the beach side view and how most of the tables are covered from the strong sun. There is only outside seating. The bloody mary, fish tacos, clam chowder, and mozzarella tomato salad were tasty - but the four stars are more for the ambiance and service. read more

We were in Laguna beach and got hungry and one quick yelp search away we stumbled upon The Deck. Since we were walking in, we quickly put our names down, which was only a 20 minute wait for the table that we wanted our server. Erin was so lovely. She was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us pick some items we went with the tuna poke, guacamole, ceviche and they were all great. We also got the clams and mussels, which was made in a saffron broth, out of this world good especially dipping that garlic bread in it.. it was just heavenly. We also got couple of salads, summer salmon salad and steak salad. Both were fantastic, super light and flavorful. Loved the chilled laid back ambiance. We'll definitely be back again soon. read more

I have to say we were walking around Laguna and stumbled into the deck... It's primarily an outdoor restaurant right on the water . It started to sprinkle as we were seated at our table . The waiters were frantically trying to get the umbrellas up for everybody. It was very nice. We enjoyed our grilled cheese, tomato soup and a delicious burger under the umbrella with the beautiful waves crashing in front of us. Sublime read more

My company had our holiday party here and the staff were great and very helpful. Located right on the beach, they have valet service and or street parking as well. The food was good and the bartender made sure our drinks were even better. I've also been here before for lunch and had ordered their clam chowder which was really delicious. Great for large groups, date nights and or parties w kids. Restaurant isn't big so you may have to wait.

Recently I lost someone dear to me. I didn't think I'd be happy here by myself but I did manage to smile during this visit all thanks to the staff. Jean Luca the host got me perfect seating right away. Incredible views. Honestly left tears in my eyes by sunset. The food was fantastic too. Bajj, my server, was absolutely attentive and caring. I accidentally ordered the burger with bacon - something I'm allergic to (yes it's true!) - and he got it remade. I absolutely appreciated his decorum and am thankful for the excellent experience due to the incredible staff. The food was spot on. I have in the past had Mahi Mahi sandwich which was good too but I definitely preferred the burger. Thank you The Deck! read more

Came on a Sunday for a late dinner with family. Restaurant is always packed and they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait. Always the best views over looking the ocean and beautiful sunset. Staff are nice and attentive, service is fairly quick once you ordered. I had the blackened ribeye salad which was good, veggies were fresh - i was kinda hoping there was an avocado in it.
