Best Family Style Restaurants in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

Our table was ready right away (I hate waiting for a table when I have made a reservation!), there was a 3-course special for couples, the service was great, food was yummy! A great dinner!

Wonderful food, beautifully presented and served hot. Excellent service. Only problem was that the directions on the link sent with the confirmation text sent us to the wrong location.

I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!

Food was outstanding. Low key but very high quality restaurant in Laguna. Worth the drive

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.
