Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Laguna Beach

This was our second time eating lunch there. Service was friendly, efficient and timely. We had the fish taco special, the mussels in leek broth and the Parker house rolls. If you get nothing else, get the rolls! Crispy and buttery on the outside and doughy and soft inside. The fried fish in the tacos were crunchy and the sauce was flavorful and accompanied the fish well. The mussels were cooked just right - still soft and flavorful in a light, savory sauce. The butter cake was the epitome of decadence. Definitely recommend for lunch.

First time visitors to this restaurant but apparently original location is out in SD Parking would appear to be the parking structure with validation but for a limited time and street parking Reservation on open table or walk in Hostess stand is located outside the entrance with a small ramp leading to it Pretty white stone exterior Indoor and outdoor dining - unsure if dog friendly space but the outdoor space was well lit and heated Open kitchen to see enclosed by glass Variety of wines and house made drinks available Vegan vegetarian GF options House made pasta, appetizers, baked items, salads and desserts Ordered the Brussels sprouts and make your bucatini pasta with guanciale and house buona forchetta sauce Our server Omar was friendly efficient approachable and explain all the things - the food runner and busser was just as friendly and personable Food came out quick Pasta was fresh, hearty, good bite, size of dish easy to share, the house sauce had a peppery cream richness but not overpowering Brussels sprouts were a favorite with the glaze and crispness The puff pastry dessert was not overly sweet with vanilla custard and fresh fruit layered / easy to share and satisfy a sweet tooth without feeling guilty Will certainly return to try other things Good spot for group outing, celebration, date night, try something new, and catch up with pals Wonderful spot, indeed!

We just love Brussels Bistro on Forest Avenue down in Laguna Beach... and it's especially great for special occasions! For three years in a row now, we have celebrated our long-time friend Carla's birthday in this charming lower level eatery... and it never disappoints! THANKS Brussels Bistro!

Date night - dinner & theatre 12/17/24 Our first time at Alessa My wife and I had a terrific dinner at Alessa tonight. We look forward to our next dinner & theatre night out, but maybe look forward to dinner even more. Last but not least, Luis was wonderful!

Very popular dinner place…and for good reason. Menu offers a variety of selections in each category. Price point is not over-the-top (especially for the area). Food is tasty. Portions are generous (we took home 6 containers of food for another dinner!). Our server, Alondra, was top drawer. Professional, spot on with any needs, funny, & personable. We all left impressed.
