This restaurant has so much potential. The scenery and setting is rustic and so beautiful. They have a friendly staff. There is room for improvement for the dishes. Some of the apps are great but the main dishes fall short on flavor and sometimes temperature. We will continue to dine there prior to the Pageant show and remain hopeful that the leadership for the festival will upgrade the food experience, one day ☺️
We have photographed a few weddings at Terra Laguna, and it never disappoints. Tucked in the hills of Laguna beach, it photographs really well! The bridal suite has great light for getting ready photos, and the ceremony site is tucked in the hillside which gives it a nice intimate setting. The venue itself has a lot of great spots for photos at any point of the day. Its always a good time photographing here! ig @_themcfarlands_
Terra Laguna is the perfect spot to be when you come to see the Pageant of the Masters. It is quite busy and the tables are a little close together. Expect to be bumped constantly by the wait staff but that’s my only complaint. The food is the right portion size and the taste is amazing. They have a bar but not a full bar but you can still get the standard drinks. Just don’t ask for a fuzzy navel like my mom did.
If I were to summarize my experience with one word, it would be: Disappointing.
First of all, let's discuss salads. I have a hard time understanding why restaurants think it's alright to server lettuce leaves that aren't chopped already. It doesn't help with presentation and makes the salad difficult to eat, and it wasn't even that good.
Next: My entrée was the braised short rib. It costs nearly $50 dollars. Many people at my table ordered this. I noticed that their portions are not consistent, at all. Some folks had twice as much potatoes as others and the short ribs varied considerably in size. It was also under seasoned and bland. Everyone had to add salt. I wouldn't have minded as much if it were a $20 dollar plate, but for $50 dollars, the expectation is that you nail it and they were far from it.
Finally: Dessert tested fine. Nothing amazing, yet cost 12 dollars for a tiny bowl. I typically share dessert with my wife, and the portion of this one left me unsatisfied, it is really made for a single person, but 12 dollars suggests it should be great for two.
I do not recommend eating here.
Excellence service, food and ambience! Chef Leo stopped by to say hi. What a genuinely nice guy who is passionate about sending your taste buds to heaven! Thank you Chef!
We recently had our wedding reception at Terra Laguna, and we couldn't be happier with how things turned out.
Venue Coordinator, Devon:
Very helpful in preparing the event and making sure it ran smoothly. Professional and attentive.
Food:
The food was excellent. Diverse menu and high-quality ingredients. Many guests complimented the meals. We did the plated dinner option and were very pleased with how it turned out both in presentation and taste.
Space Utilization:
We had our ceremony at a different location, so we used the standard ceremony area for a cocktail hour. It was a great use of space and added a unique touch to the event. The main reception area was gorgeous with the bistro lighting and unique architecture of the permanent patio cover. We had about 150 people didn’t feel cramped.
Overall Experience:
The venue was beautiful and well-organized. Many guests told us it was one of the best weddings they've attended.
As we transitioned into nighttime, the venue seemed to grow even more beautiful.
If you're looking for a venue that combines great service, good food, and a beautiful setting, Terra Laguna is a solid choice. Truly an experience we will never forget for all the right reasons.
Terrible and chaotic service. Drinks delivered after the entrees were delivered, bread and water we had to ask for repeatedly. My entree was completely forgotten. The server, Rebecca, said the bar was backed up, everybody was new and the kitchen was in a state of constant chaos. Those were her excuses. She said she would bring complimentary desserts and those never came either. Then, we had ask and wait for our check. What a frustrating, annoying experience.
We ate there last year and had a similar experience, but we thought we would give them a second chance this year. What a mistake!!!
We will NOT be back, ever. It’s convenient to the pageant, but at too high a price to pay for a miserable experience.
We had terrible meal. My steak was so tough l could not cut it. The potatoes were cold. The hamburger was awful. The chicken was average.Why is not possible to have an outstanding meal here like we used to when the restaurant was under a different owner. The service was average. For such a beautiful venue, it is a shame to have such a horrible meal.
