    We hadn’t been to Las Brisas for awhile and we were very impressed with how much the quality of the food and menu choices had improved. Both were excellent! Our server, Michael, could not have been better. He truly helped to make our dining experience wonderful.

    We have eaten at Las Brisas before, some years ago, and always loved the place for the combination of the location overlooking Laguna Beach and the excellent menu combining many forms of seafood and other dishes. There has been a radical change since then, and the current menu is really below expectations, a mix of some rather middle-of-the-road items (grilled chicken, steak and surf, oysters on the shell, shrimp cocktail, etc..), some South American classics like Ceviche and what is described as "Foods from Mexico" in the form of fish and sauces that are form ??? which region of Mexico, associated with some strange pairings (putting almost raw cauliflower under a fish fillet makes it very hard to eat), and some missing items like no bread, ... For a place where one would typically bring a large group, they are catering for a puzzling but narrow audience, we took time finding something we were interested in ordering not because of the many mouth watering possibilities but the challenge of one dish that would be interesting. As for a $15 Cesar salad that is literally just lettuce, croutons and shaved cheese, I am speechless. The waiting staff were very professional and seemed to read into our frustration and did their best to make us happy (it was an anniversary dinner for 2) but leaving $200 on the table for a meal we are trying to forget, clearly we will not be returning before a long time, and only after scrutinizing the menu on line to see if there has been a significant change in the diversity of dishes and some thematic sense to the food on offer. I have travelled extensively to Mexico for the record, I am well aware that there are at least 7 major cuisine styles across such a culturally rich country, but this restaurant makes no effort to reflect that or even explain which cuisine they are trying to put forth, a real waste of a long tradition for what used to be a spectacular restaurant.

    The views are phenomenal and the service is excellent and the food is good. However, it’s extremely over priced for what it is but you go there for the view and the ambience. Location, location, location.

    This was our second time visiting Las Brisas and it’s been a delight both times. This second time started off a bit chaotic as the valet lot was full when we arrived so we had to spend some time hunting for parking. Though this was inconvenient the staff was very understanding and accommodating to us even though we arrived a bit late. Upon arrival our hostess was very courteous and allowed my wife to decide if she would like to wait for a table near a window or if we were open to sit anywhere. She chose the window and the staff made it happen. Our server was an absolute delight, he really came across like he enjoyed his job and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was really the cherry on top of the good service, he made great recommendations and was promptly checking in on us and getting us whatever we needed. The place is great. If you haven’t eaten here you should, and if you’ve been here before you should go again.

    Every time I'm in California, a stop at Las Brisas is a must. It is my favorite restaurant in California. The food, the ambiance, the service and the view is second to none. My server, Norma, was attentive and very pleasant. I was there by myself and she showed the same attention to my needs as her larger parties. And... Your Tres Leche cake is the BOMB.

    This was supposed to be a special anniversary dinner, and when made reservations asked for Rose Garden dining. When we arrived they said the best they had was out by the bar. Ocean view was great but the rest of the ambiance wasn’t what we’d experienced before at Las Brisas. Our food was ok (scallops for me, halibut for my husband) but not terrific. They weren’t busy (3pm) but service wasn’t attentive. We probably won’t make Las Brisas our “special dinner” spot anymore.

    Used to be one of our favorite places in Laguna. View and service were great. Good was okay. I had the lobster enchiladas. Guacamole is better at lots of places. Menus are embarrassing. Shabby clipboards with 3 pgs showing bkfst lunch and dinner. Looks like something you’d get at Red Lobster or a diner. Not at Las brisas!

    Our favorite food was the appetizer BBQ ribs. I'd recommend Las Brisas to a friend for a special occasion dinner and only to someone who enjoys seafood. There were minimal non-seafood choices. No dessert menu, but they did gift us with a special slice of cake to celebrate our anniversary. A chocolate layered cake with berries. Price was approx $150 bill for 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 sodas.

    Dinner for 2 adults and a child. food was just ok; drinks were good; service at the table was poor. We initially booked a birthday dinner, and specifically requested a table with a view to watch the sunset. We were seated 35 minutes later (post sunset), and were given a table with no view. The waitress greeted us with "are you here for the birthday?" , ruining the surprise. Although I asked twice (phone amd in person) for a cake and a candle, and I got confirmation both times, no cake, let alone the candle were received at our table. It felt like they were actively trying to offer bad service. we dont recommed this place. definitely not worth the money.

    The restaurant is beautiful, one of the best areas and views I’ve seen. However at 5:30 valet lot was full, the restaurant should only allow cars in with reservations. Street parking full because people walk the park trail along the ocean. Had to park 5 blocks away. They gave us a nice booth, but heavily trafficked by patrons and employees, should ask for a table near the windows. Otherwise food was good, drinks were OK, expensive
