Don't be fooled by the crowds and the noise; they are all part of the scene here at Laguna Beach's sexy and intense 230 Forest Avenue. The lean deep room seduces you to the open kitchen, bustling bar, and concrete floors, creating a space that is part modern bistro, part martini bar, and part art gallery. It's the perfect spot to see and be seen, laid back Laguna-style. Executive Chef Marc Cohen is consistently recognized as one of The OC's top chefs. You'll be ready to award him a medal, too, after tasting his flashy-to-the-eye, tickle-the-taste- buds fusion appetizers and entrees. His dishes are often so stunning that they compete with the artwork on the walls, making for a thoroughly satisfying "artistic" experience.

    This is my favorite restaurant. However today was the first time I’ve ever had less than stellar service. Our waitress abandoned us for most of the meal: no checkin, no water refill, no coffee refill no check. The experience at night is completely different.

    Outstanding evening here. We had reservations and we were seated promptly. Our waiter was Vito, who’s been there since they opened the restaurant. The experience and service Vito provided was amazing. What a consummate professional and amazing dining experience that he provided. Everything about this restaurant is just incredible. The food, wine selection and menu choices were outstanding. We highly recommend this restaurant!

    The Fin sushi bar is around the corner from the lobby bar so really hidden. The sushi was OUTSTANDING. We did ask for no sesame seeds at all and the edamame came with a sesame sauce. We sent it back. We also pre called and asked if they had a specific name brand sake. We were told no, we bought/brought our own, and they actually did have it. Thankfully as we didn’t want to spend the $35 cork fee on top of buying our own sake, we bought theirs. We would go back.
