    The view is amazing and so is the staff. They even made sure we were warm as we were sitting outside near the ocean. Food was good. We had Ribeye steak which was tasty and ordered sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. large order for sides enough for two or more people. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Expected as this is the beach and hotel is going through a reno. Beautiful spot! The people that work here are great and music was perfect! Definitely a place we will be visiting again and again.

    We dined on the patio & enjoyed a lovely sunset. My husband’s bouillabaisse was great, very large portion. I had the seafood tower, also good portion for (2). The fried Calamari was good, but for some reason much of the rest didn’t seem as fresh to me. Pastry/bakery is great. Our waiter was excellent. The restaurant needs a refresh inside.

    Salerno’s is our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in Laguna. My husband’s favorite dish is fettuccine Alfredo and Salerno’s is The Best according to him. The wait staff is so friendly and accommodating and the restaurant so comfortable and “Italian”…. We highly recommend it!!
