South of Nick's Laguna Beach

Mexican restaurant

👍 Loved the decor and the vibe of this place, and the food and drinks were really good too. We especially liked the Pork Carnitas plate and Shrimp Diablo. I think we got a new and inexperienced waiter so the service was the only downfall. Unfortunately he was constantly forgetting to bring what we ord...

John Sparr Tavern

Restaurant

👍 Classic UK pub atmosphere minus perhaps a dart board or two amd the menus but likely no room for dart boards. Small bar but interesting Hawaiian themed cocktails. Decent craft on tap. Appetizers and entrees were both quite good though again, it's the pub look, not pub menu, certainly not a Britis...

Spin Poke & Grill

Poke bar

😐 Pretty mediocre. I asked for spicy... It wasn't spicy and the seaweed salad tasted off like maybe it was old or not stored properly. Very small portions of fish and the seared ahi was basically cooked through. The people were very nice and the order came up really fast. It's also cool that they have...

👍👍 New restaurant for us to try = wonderful experience!! We were seated immediately on the patio (with plenty of heaters) but, be warned, there was a wait inside if you didn't have a reservation. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive. If you know me at all, I'm a mac and cheese expert so I ju...

👍👍 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Beverly Bar and I have to say, it did not disappoint.
