We went there for our anniversary after a long walk on the beach. We got lucky to be seated right by the window overlooking the ocean, just spectacular! I am not usually big mexican food fan, but here it was amazing, a bit expensive but thats ok, it was worth it! I'm so happy we went there, even after seeing some not so good reviews. Had a really good time!
Pros: Views, location, food (many choices besides mexican dishes)
Cons: Small margaritas - had to get 2 :)

I have been to 5 Foot before, but we'd ordered off the menu. Last night, the three of us went for the 12-course tasting 'Menu without a Menu.' Chef Kang came up and greeted us and asked if we had any special requirements. My girlfriend (who had not eaten there before) mentioned she was a vegetarian and was allergic to avocado. My father and I said we'd eat anything, and I said I have a very high tolerance for spice. What then followed (over the next 4+ hours) was extraordinary all the way around. I've read several negative reviews here and elsewhere and they all seem to be about the tasting menu. To the detractors I have this to say: the tasting menu prices are clearly marked--so you shouldn't get all huffy or surprised when you see the bill. This is not a Chinese restaurant in the typical sense. This is Chinese/French Fusion food, and boy does it work. This is not the place to go if you have a show to catch or an urgent appointment afterwards. Eating here is an experience. This *is* your destination and only item on your to-do list for the night when you show up. If you want to do the tasting menu, go on a slower night like we did and call ahead of time to see if Mr. Kang will be cooking. Around hour 2 of our night, Mr. Kang came out and asked how everything was going and if we needed to change the pace. We asked if he could slow it down a bit. He did. Seriously, those four hours flew by. By the time we were having the Fromage course, he sat down and shared drinks with us. We got the opportunity to chat him up about the food and his restaurant, and he had great stories to tell for sure! How anyone could come here and have a bad experience boggles my mind. I was watching the other tables while we ate. Every time a server came up to ask people what they thought of their meal, every single one of them gave the same expression--"wonderful!" Everyone there was very friendly--from the busboys to Mr. Kang. We left stuffed and happy. The perfect meal.
Pros: Food, decor, experience
Cons: None

From the start the service was spot on as well as the wine list (with some great selections, hard to find bottles ) and the new menu is great a big departure from the old. The lamb was fantastic as were the steaks. As a whole one of the best bets in Orange County.
Pros: The service was great, and the new menu is exciting
Cons: Pricing a bit steep

I love taking my boyfriend & parents to 230 Forest after walking alongside the beach and window shopping on Forest St. This is definitely a place to share with family and friends. Plus, they have enough flat screen TVs with sports games on; enough to keep the guys entertained & not at all distracting for everyone else to enjoy their meal.
The menu is made up of seafood & poultry, all of which is incorporated into classic American favorites such as baby back ribs, mac & cheese, grilled fish, steak & even beef stroganoff. Food to try:
Swordfish with crab meat - This was a chef's special & had a medley of corn, tomatoes, garlic & crab meat on top of the swordfish. No corn from a can from this place, it had the vibrant crunch of fresh corn!
Gorgonzola Mac & Cheese - Not on the menu, this is a side dish on one of the entrees. It's small enough to share with another person & adds to any meal. They added a little spice to the cheese & topped it with breadcrumbs for extra oomph.
Hoisin Duck Eggrolls - Appetizer. Great to split for 2-3 people & savory enough to satisfy ravenous guests. Especially since they put sliced hot baguettes & olive spread as soon as you're seated.
Baby Back Pork Ribs - Order the full, it's only $3 more than the half & you're sure to have perfect late-night leftovers. Amazingly paired with shoestring onion rings & mashed potatoes.
Molten Chocolate Bread Pudding - Save room for this coma-inducing dessert. This is a single large slice of bread pudding, soaked in the sweetness of caramel & cocoa. Walk a few times around the block after this one.
Pros: Fresh seafood, uncomplicated & heightened style on favorites
Cons: Parking can be limited on Forest St.

I love Zinc, especially for breakfast and coffee! They have amazing oatmeal, quiches, specialty coffee, fresh fruit and scones. Try a Sunrise, a great juice drink made fresh. Enjoy a patio garden for seating and chat with the locals. Stop next door to the market and grab some lunch to go. Zinc is a must for breakfast, or anytime. They are a little pricey, but you'll be happy you visited.

I had my wedding dinner at Romeo's. We were a small party of 12. The owner and the staff were wonderful and treated us like family. The food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. There was live music and the singer even took requests. I coud not have asked for a better dining experience for my wedding dinner. Thank you Romeo Cucina!
Pros: Great ambiance, delicious food and wonderful service.
Cons: None

Absolutely delicous! Located in the heart of Laguna Beach. All gelato and sorbetto is freshly made daily on the premises. Sorbetto is made with fresh fruit and it is so good. The flavors change with the seasons. Service is always very happy and friendly, they are always willing to give samples and suggestions.
