I read about Hush in a magazine at my hotel, and took a chance as I do not know Orange County well. Located along a cute shopping stretch, Hush was upscale and stylish but welcoming, not snobby as one might expect in the area. We snuggled into a booth to enjoy an awesome Oregon Pinot, delicious salads, savory fish entrees and finally, a rich dessert. What a great date-night! Pros: Romantic, awesome food, great location

I like Hush and it's a nice place to go for a quiet, but expensive, meal. The service is okay but the overall ambiance is pretty nice. We had a nice evening and enjoyed the food, my husband loved the crab, and overall it is worth going again.

Great place to go grab a cocktail or a (pricey) dinner. Loved the ambiance: very quite, modern, and classy. Good to go to on a date or with friends. Meals and drinks are a bit on the steep side so plan on spending a few bucks and enjoy yourself.

I have been dining in Hush for many years took many friends to the restaurant recommended and enjoyed the ambiance greatly until last Saturday I was very surprise to see at 11 pm on a Saturday it wasn't very slow and not many people I waited at the bar way longer than before when it was crowded. it was like this new bartender was unhappy working there I was ignored for about 15 min at the bar and finally when I got his attention he acted like he was doing a big favor to me by taking my order no greeting non what so ever. so finally I ordered a drink for my self he served as he looked like he was annoyed the friend of mine took about 10 second extra time to decide and he was very clearly upset already. well he served the second drink with an attitude again I gave him the $100 bill with same attitude giving me the change slamming it on the counter, this was the straw that broke the camel's back for me time to give him the tip I gave his tip with the same gesture he returned the change to me. he look at me I asked him if he had a problem with me being there and he took my drink away and very aggressively called the guy at the door I never ever felt attacked by a bartender in such manner. it was horrible I kept my calm and left with my friend witnessing that I'm writing this to just voice my opinion the best I can I'm not a food expert but as a business owner myself because I cared to let the management know I contacted the management the fallowing day left a message no response what so ever this was my last visit to this restaurant because I don't want someone with an unexpected bad and unfriendly attitude and issues ruin my friends evening or my own evening. sorry to see the decline in your service I think you have lost a loyal customer for hiring people like this to save money on hiring professional people their performance will determine your reputation. and I'm very sorry to see such a thing happen good luck to you Hush.

I have been to Hush this past weekend, the food was excellent, not expensive for the quality of the food and the wine list is just ridiculously huge. The service was very nice and so as the atmosphere in the restaurant. The chef is only 25 years old and she is really talented, yes it is a she! If you expect to eat for 15 dollars and get a two for one drink formula, go to a fast food, if not I would totally recommend Hush. Pros: Food, service, valet parking

While Hush is very pricey, the food is very good. Very extensive wine list. You may feel out of place if you try to valet your less than luxury car, but parking is just around the block. Having a quiet dinner on the covered patio is a perfect way to spend a weekend night.

This place charges approximately 30-40% more on average for similar items, drinks and wines and simply fails to deliver 30-40% more value. We went to Hush last night for the first time and arrived about 7:45 and oddly enough the bar had only two people in it and the restaurant had many open tables on a SATURDAY night in Laguna Beach. Our servicer was nice, but the prices are so ridiculous that you really expect more. I ordered day boat scallops which were $28 so I thought hey that's reasonable until it arrived with a total of three approximately 1 and a quarter inch scallops served on a tiny bed of sauteed mushrooms with a side of??? mushrooms. Terrible presentation, no color and who serves something on a bed of mushrooms and then serves the same side dish? Then my husband asked which steak to order and they recommended the New York ($48) and the server suggests a side of potatoes ($5) which looked and tasted just like the breakfast potatoes you get at any breakfast house minus the peppers and onions and they served like 7 of them on a small plate. So tacky. We each had a drink and I was HORRIFIED when I got the bill for my ONE margarita (Patron) for $16. What? That would be $12 or less elewhere. The Choc. cake was $10 and a regular cup of coffee was $3.50 (can you say cappucino price?) As far as the service for a not very busy restaurant it was SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. We ordered our food at 8:05 pm (after being seated at 7:50 pm) and did not receive our meal (with a medium rare steak and scallops) until 8:50 pm and in the meantime our server never once checked back to give us an update or to refill drinks (thank God at that price). They had a TON of front staff milling around; mostly empty handed and yes the only female we saw that night was the chef or the line cook came out and one hostess. My husband ordered the chocolate cake and coffee at 9:05 pm and didn't receive the dessert until 9:25 pm and asked for a refill of coffee at that time and they never returned. Cons: overpriced, slow service, small portions, no variety, expensive drinks

I love the architecture from the street level. It looks very modern. Great patio to be enjoyed in the summer months. Location is kind of out of the heart of Laguna but worth the walk.

I had dinner at Hush with about 15 friends, for a birthday. My food was okay and a handful of my friends had cold or almost frozen mashed potatoes or poorly cooked meat. Again, I am not sure if it was because there were so many of us. Our server did not seem apologetic or compensating at all. As we proceeded to the dessert menu, we were excited to see the "midnight snack". There were a few yummy items, and we were thrilled to order 3 and share. To our surprise, it literally was a "midnight snack". There were pint sized brownies and quarter sized cookies. I guess it was to our advantage so we did not consume too many calories. Everything would have been okay if it was not about $75 - $100, a person. The drinks were very good but very over priced and the bar scene is very snobby for a beach town. I will say that it is decorated very tastefully.

The Bar: I like Hush and I've been there several times for dinner and drinks. It's a good place to go for drinks because there's usually a good amount of people at the bar. The croud is usually in the late 20's and older or just plain old. It's pretty easy to find on PCH and they offer valet. Dinning: Like I said, I've been there several times for dinner and I've never been satisfied with any of the meals that I've had. The one thing that I had that I actually liked was the Boston salad but I need five of them to make it a meal. The food is way over priced but I wouldn't mind if the food was actually good. They have a good selection of oysters but they only provide a vinegarette as a condiment, some of their fish are really fishy and the portions are so skimpy that I was hungry after a three course meal. The creme brulee crust was soft. The tuna tartar lacked flavor. The cheese plate had boring cheeses. There are so many better alternatives just down the street. If you want a better alternative for the same price and a more romantic setting, check out the Montage instead. I love their tasting menu with wine parings. If you want just good seafood go to Mosun. Besides great sushi they have a good restaurant menu with reasonable prices and portions. Pros: service, bar, valet Cons: food, value
