- SShabnamVIPCalifornia Central Coast •13 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoTango is a cozy, European style gem I’ve visited twice. Niko was friendly and spot-on with wine and food recommendations. The Angus beef brisket was melt in your mouth perfection, definitely recommend! Everything was amazing, though the lobster Caesar salad could use less dressing to avoid soaking the lettuce, especially for the price. One note: they leave the door open, and it gets quite chilly. Otherwise, a fantastic experience!More infoTangoPrice: Moderate• Tapas / Small Plates• Laguna Beach•4.7

- MMaeOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined on 5 Dec 2024We've been to R/O multiple times since their opening in August of 2021. We are so happy that R/O was awarded their Michelin one star. We've been to many sushi restaurants in NorCal and SoCal during our lifetime and without any hesitation, R/O has it all with the ambience, service, presentation and chef Jordan's amazing creations.More infoRebel OmakasePrice: Very Expensive• Sushi• Laguna Beach•4.9
