Best Family Style Restaurants in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

Every dish from appetizer, to fresh made mushroom soup, to main course of house made raviola, to a ice cream desert. Chef Lindsey has created each dish well. We will certainly go again. One other point- the serving staff was attentive, responsive to special dietary requests. They have a main dining area AND a crows nest to catch a glimpse of lovely laguna beach and the fresh ocean air.

Wow. What a gem to have in San Juan Capistrano. I had my doubts on seeing such high reviews but everything was great about our experience here and I agree it’s top notch. We came for a late Valentine’s date and it delivered. Great food (Bang Bang Shrimp, Croissant Waffle, and Steak and Eggs) and beautiful outdoor seating. This venue is also quite large as well so could accommodate large parties. We’ll be coming back soon.

Went for valentines and it was such a joy. The food was also wonderfully complex and deeply rich. The waitress was very friendly throughout and always checked in frequently. Would and have recommended.

Chefs were outstanding and service from Henry and Cathy is always outstanding. Love the lunch special.

Passed by this place hundreds of times but finally tried and can understand why its the favorite local restaurant of good friends of ours. Menu offered a wide variety of interesting choices, food was great, and service was outstanding.
