Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Ladera Ranch

Thank you for a wonderful evening, we are so delighted to be back for an amazing dinner after 14 year of marriage. Hotel Laguna is where we tied the night and our experience yesterday evening was so lovely. The staff were friendly and our server brought us a surprise dessert, so kind! The food was fantastic- I had the chilean seabass and my husband had the gnocchi. We truly enjoyed our valentines day dinner. Thank you!

We were so excited to visit Splashes since the remodel and we were pleasantly impressed! We started with a cocktail in the new lobby lounge that overlooks the ocean. What an outstanding use of this location that use to be hotel suites. Next it was on to Splashes where we were met by Julian (from Paris) who found us a marvelous table overlooking the picturesque sunset. Julian is a great ambassador for the hotel and Splashes. Our Waiter was Patrick from Buenos Aires, Patrick and his server Jose have been with the hotel for years and were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. We started with the lobster bisque, this is a must have when visiting Splashes, it was outstanding! Our dinner was beautifully presented and delicious. I had the sea bass special for the evening, it was tender and buttery and it melted in my mouth. My wife had the halibut which was also outstanding. We ended the evening with a shared Baked Alaska, it was the perfect sweet treat to complete this great evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our experience at Surf and Sands Splashes. We will be back very soon!

The gang at craft house always do a fantastic job and we look forward to each visit because of it. Staff is always super friendly knowledgeable and happy to help guide you through whatever today's surprise selection might be. We really like the fact that today's menu might not be the same tomorrow and that there's always a new surprise around every corner

Great time! We went for Valentine’s Day! The prefix menu and wine pairing was perfect! We will definitely!

Easily one of the top 3 pizzas I’ve had in Orange County! We ordered the cheese and pepperoni pizza, and it was perfection—thin, crisp, and packed with incredible fresh flavor. Absolutely worth coming here just for that. We also tried the burrata, which was good but on the smaller side. However, the grilled sourdough it came with was fantastic and made up for it. The crispy porchetta was solid, but the real star of the meal was definitely the pizza. Service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and prompt. Already looking forward to coming back!
