19 Restaurant & Lounge

Came here after my in-laws hyped it up but apparently ordered the wrong thing (gyros... dont do it if you plan to eat here!)The food service is super slow and service was OK - not super friendly but also not mean as some of the other reviews read. But maybe we came on an off-day Everyone else's food looked ok (not great) but my "gyros" looked like strips of beef jerky for dogs. It was pretty dry and unflavorful... my kids didn't mind but I lost my appetite after the first few bites. Good thing I ordered the buffalo wing appetizer. I'm sure other dishes are better but the food seemed mediocre at best.On top of this they charged us a compulsory 20% (at least) gratuity.... not sure if this is standard for all customers or because we were a large party but even 20% is quite generous for auto-gratuity. Either way I was expecting a little more. If I had known I would have had us go to BJs around the corner.

We made a reservation. Upon arrival, there was no one to help us. Finally found someone who cleared a table for us. Then we waited 20-25 minutes for a server to come talk to us. She never came back to check on us after taking orders or after food was served.Only good thing was that food was surprisingly good and the server remembered we were celebrating my mom's birthday and brought her a dessert. This had been a family favorite, unlikely we'll come back

We had a another fine dinner and evening at the 19th restaurant & lounge Sunday evening was beautiful everyone must of had the same idea about going out for a nice dinner. The outdoor dining area was packed.We were lucky to find a table with a great view of the course and mountains. The staff was stretched thin but they took care of everyone as promptly as possible we were very satisfied with everyone.My wife's dinner salad was brought out before our entrees it was chilled and looked delicious. Both our dinners were very good, surf & turf and lobster pasta, only thing missing was maybe a roll or some type of bread. Tony one of our waiters was excellent, friendly, he handled the staff which was overwhelmed by the large crowd.The 19th restaurant didn't disappoint

The service is alwasy very slow, the food is decent. I normally now do take out only for that very reason. Nice view form the outdoor patio, maybe good for drinks.

I ordered the Chilean sea bass , it was heavenly delicious! It was lightly crusted and lightly cooked with a vinaigrette sauce, on a bed of risotto and asparagus. My son ordered a Burger that was a foot high with onion rings inside and French fries, both dishes were out of this world! And the service was top notch. Our server JC was friendly, attentive and professional. On a crisp night of holiday season, i am jolly happy!

Always a pleasure coming here, since I have friends that live in Laguna Woods that are avid golfers, they enjoy coming to the club house/Restaurant 19 to enjoy a meal. Some of my favorite menu items include;1. Fish and Chips 2. Tuna Melt 3. Burger4. Buffalo wings 5. Pizza

Nice viewDecent foodTerrible service I have given this place many chances. I love the view. Service is terrible and has gotten worse over the years. I will not recommend or return.

Delicious food and a beautiful ambiance with outdoor seating that views the wonderful golf course and mountains in the background! Service was very slow, but kind when waiting on our table

Service poor. I wanted more hot water for my tea. Asked several times; I never got it.Asked waitress to take a photo. She said she would return to take it but never did. The restaurant was NOT busy. Maybe 1/4 full. After a long wait we had a patron take the photo.Food was so-so. Not worth going again even if it were free. (I had breakfast)Ate outside over looking the golf course. Pretty but chilly. (That's why I wanted more hot water.) Extra star for the view.

The worst service in the universe! You wait 20 mins to get a menue, 30 mins for food, and another 20 mins to pay for food. NOT worth it. Food is ok not great.
