    Celebrated my birthday here. Service was excellent. Had the Mariposa cocktail to start & it was delicious. The duck meatballs melted in your mouth & were delicious. We had the pork special of Osso Bucco & the halibut for our entrees & both were great. They delivered a complimentary dessert to celebrate my birthday. We Are visiting family & are from Baltimore We will definitely be back on our next trip as we want to try other entrees that look delectable

    Sapphire seems to never disappoint. The atmosphere is lovely, especially when sitting outside on a mild evening. And the food is wonderful. Had a great swordfish dish that was a special and thoroughly enjoyed. Service was friendly and attentive and we never felt rushed. I’ll be back

    Chose Sapphire after reading good reviews and it was a close walk from Capri Latina Hotel. Both my husband and I chose Halibut and were so surprised by the amount of FRESH farmstand colorful vegetables that accompanied with a light sauce. That made our day! We watched plates of huge ribeye come out and they looks magnificent, although we wanted a light fish dinner. Everyone around seemed to enjoy their dinners and were smiling . We ate outside, street noise is apparent but not too overwhelming, inside seating is available if you want more quiet. as the night cooled heaters were offered.

    Good food, pretty good service, great location. The downside was that the table was on a slant in the corner of the patio, so we battle being level all meal. They try to fit too many tables into a small space.

    Very nice place to eat. We were outside with a view of the ocean. My wife’s fish was a little over cooked. We shared that with the waiter and he comped her meal and gave us a wonderful dessert. We never asked him for this. So our waiter and ambiance were a 10. My meal was a 9. We would definitely come back again.

    Overall, it's a good restaurant, we were there around 3 p.m. and they gave us 5 minutes to choose our food because they said the kitchen will be turned from brunch to dinner menu and they can't wait to we choose our food. We had a reservation if they weren't ready for it they could not give us the reservation. Everything was rushed, and we felt we should leave the restaurant. Disappointed

    We have been coming here for several years. Over the past two years the foot quality has gone downhill. The brunch menu has become low quality and the dinners are not worth the expense nor is it creative. Just absolutely mediocre to poor all around. After being a weekly go to I think it’s off our list altogether.

    The hostess and restaurant were very accommodating when we let them know we would be late for our reservation due to a delayed flight and unexpected traffic. Spent a delightful evening on the patio with my daughter who had just flown in from Denver. Our meals were delicious and I had a very fun and tasty seasonal mocktail. Truly a neighborhood gem in Laguna Beach! (Excellent service by Sam and the whole wait staff!)

    This is a lovely neighborhood restaurant that has a great selection of beautifully prepared meals. The custom cocktails were interesting as well. I always appreciate restaurants that actually heat their plates and coffee cups! Some customers had expressed noise issues from PCH. We dined at an outdoor table on a Monday evening at 8:30 pm, it was not a problem.

    Excellent except we called asking what the soup of the day was and was told it was a short rib broth soup. When we ordered we were told it was tomato bisque. We ordered it. What came out was chili and was told . Oops, that was soup of the day!! No thanks. But everything else was wonderful.
