Delicious food. I had the lamb burger and onion rings. Our table enjoyed deviled eggs and spicy cauliflower appetizers. All were tasty. We were a party of five and ate inside because the tables were for four or less outside. It was a little noisy with the television showing a sports game.

So sad to discover that with the name change came a change in ownership, menu, chef and quality of food. Perhaps the fancy (too long) name is an attempt to disguise the fact that this restaurant is now a place to get cheap (disgusting) bar food. The beer choice is limited and the food tastes (and looks) like it came out of a truck stop in the middle of nowhere.

I really like the updated menu at OC Craft. The burgers are really tasty and I love the fact that I can get a gluten free bun! The happy hour menu is a good option too. We tried the buffalo cauliflower and it was very hot and different (gluten free too). My mom had the ribs and they were really tender and delicious sauce. The margaritas were yummy and they had a nice selection of beers as well (not a beer drinker so I can't comment on them). 3 different kinds of french fries - I had the garlic fries - delicious. The complimentary popcorn for the table is fun too. Definitely on our list of laguna regular restaurants.

A really disappointing experience. Service is bad. Food is so-so. Literally any other restaurant in Laguna is better than this place.

OKAY, so - A friend of mine recommended this place to us, the same day we chose to have a lovely quiet date night. To NO avail. 1st of all, she seated us right next to a baby!. That, in itself, gave me most uncomfortable feeling. Because, I'm in no way used to that, at all!. Then, when we received the cauliflower bites, they had such an intense HOT HOT HOT Buffalo sauce on them.. which the should NEVER even put hot sauce on them. I had them take them back & yet they still charged us for them - even after choosing to try them naked with nothing on them, which was 100% better. Then, a crowd of 20 people came in there and was LOUD as heck!!..And, there went our "Quiet Date night!"... What a bummer!. The drinks were great - service was questionable. WE don't plan on going back, nor recommending this place. Sorry. :-((

We arrived early and sat on the patio close to sundown. We were one of the first people seated for dinner and didn't go inside. Patio seating is nice and a good place to watch the sunset over the town. Service was prompt and attentive. Waitress and greeter were pleasant and shared many local stories. The food and beer (house IPA) were delicious. Chicken club sandwich was excellent (we left with leftovers). Grilled salmon was fresh and cooked as requested (picky kids). If we ever visit Laguna again we'll eat here.

The actual burgers were the only things we could say were good. Onion rings were like flavorless donuts with an onion inside - cakey texture, not crisp. Atmosphere is very dark and feels like an unfinished basement with red drapes. Had to really talk loud to hear one another, overall noise level was very loud.
