Driftwood Kitchen

Probably one of my favorite spots in Laguna Beach. I've also recommended this place to a few friends and they all told me they loved it as well. The service is great. The view is on another level. The food is actually top notch and delicious. Parking and space may be the only con, but what else do you expect in this part of Laguna Beach. The space is pretty tight, but we had a stroller with us and the staff was very accommodating and courteous. This Yelper highly recommends Driftwood Kitchen! A+

Drove to see the Ocean and a restaurant with a view but unfortunately, it was s foggy day.Nice cozy restaurant, right at the ocean where you can walk down to the sandy beach.Services were excellent. Pricey Valet Parking.Limited Lunch Menu. Egg Benedict & Hamburger was average but Clam chowder was a Bomb.Clam Chowder was even better than New England, Boston and Main. Would like to come back during sunset for dinner experience.

I can't blame the restaurant but it was such a pain to find parking and valet is $16 up to 2 hours. We couldn't use valet because we had our small dog in the car and they wouldn't allow us to leave our dog due to some city restrictions for valet parking. The corridor was dark and narrow leading to the stairs going down. Use your phone flashlight. The food isn't bad but not great. The portions were small for the price. Get the bread rolls. Those were worth the $9. The service was great. Our waitress was super nice.You are paying for the ambiance. We would only come back for the view and definitely during the daytime for safety. Use your flashlights off the alley where the valet is stationed. Cars will not see you as they pull out of parking lots.

Amaaaaazinggg foood, service, ambiance and view!!! Initially was intending to go to another brunch place but accidentally booked this place without realizing. I'm so glad I went to this one instead. It was a happy accident, as the food was amazing and fits everything what a brunch is. The location and view itself are next level, giving it a serene ocean calmness perfect for a relaxing weekend!

Food 10/10Views 10/10Service 10/10Parking $16 ValetWe came on Sunday morning for breakfast didn't make a reservation and sat down after waiting 15 mins. They have a restaurant below called the deck where you can sit outside as you wait. We had a great experience and the views were amazing.

This place is incredible! We went to celebrate my grandpa's birthday and it was beyond my expectations. The food was impeccable along with the service (Jose), location and complementary birthday cake. I will be back and recommend to friends 1 million times over! Thank you for a wonderful experience. MAKE RESERVATIONS.

Great brunch place. Floor to ceiling windows bring in the ocean view. If its a bit chilly, this is a great indoor option but they have limited outdoor seats as well. Food is always good here (based on about 5 visits) service as well. You will pay a bit more for the view but it seems about right to me.

Came here for a Sunday morning brunch with a couple of friends! We made reservations ahead of time via open table so there was no wait! Parking was non-existent so we had to pay $16 for valet parking.The restaurant was very open and really does have an incredible view of the ocean! The food was very delicious! My husband and I shared the Laguna beach omelette & lobster hash! We're a big fan of seafood so these typical brunch dishes really stuck out to us. Our server said their lobster hash was the popular dish and it did not disappoint! The portion was huge! The laguna beach omelette was STUFFED with dungeness crab meat which makes it superior any omelette that I have ever tried!! Overall, the food was great and ambiance was immaculate!

The clam chowder was salty and lacked flavor. In most restaurants, they give you the option to add oyster crackers, if you want them, but these guys think you should have them, regardless. We had a charcuterie mix was below par as well. They should consider making a better pairing of meats and cheeses, the mix was also, too salty! The beer selection was not that great. The drinks we had had nothing memorable about them. All they have is the view going for them. Not very happy.

We had our anniversary dinner here and it was amazing! The surf and turf was delicious. Great lobster and steak with really yummy mashed potatoes and asparagus. Drinks were also very good, we tried the moscow mule, nectar of the seven seas and the passionate one. The server was so sweet and very attentive. Would definitely recommend!
