This completely open-air venue, affiliated with the Pacific Edge Hotel, features a dining space directly on the Laguna Beach shoreline. Guests can grab a seat among cool ocean breezes, enjoy an invigorating cocktail from the outdoor bar, and watch the surf crash along the sand or observe the sun set behind Laguna’s legendary bluffs. Executive chef Michael Ingino infuses the mood that the al fresco surroundings establish by offering contemporary fare highlighted by a wealth of seafood options. The warm pita bread appetizer with smoked paprika hummus is the recommended way to start, though we also suggest the seared ahi over wonton chips. The combined flavors of the spinach salad, featuring walnuts, seasonal berries, blue cheese and a subtle balsamic, is ideal for a middle bite. Main courses are where the menu shines brightest; for instance, the surf ‘n’ turf kebab with Israeli couscous and crispy mahi tacos capture the ambience of the place. Couples with heartier appetites should take note of the paella for two, which is laden with chorizo and shellfish. Be sure to end with a slice of New York-native Ingino’s decadent cheesecake.
