This is my favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach. They serve a great stake and fish. It's hard to recommend something specific because their menu changes quite often. This is not your normal steak house or something in that you actually order a real meal instead of a piece of stake and some sides. One thing I can recommend is their soup of the day which sounds strange, however I have so far never been disappointed with it even though it is different every time.
The place is pretty small so you should definitely get a reservation if you are not by yourself.

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.

First let me say that the current management acquired the place in May of 2006, so any references to service before that are irrelevant.
Second, the new owner has been renovating, but continues to do his best to keep the disruption at a minimum. There will be inevitable glitches, but overall I'm pretty impressed.
Third, I have been assured that he is dedicated to returning the Royal Hawaiian to its former glory and reputation of the best and least expensive food and drink in Orange Coast area.
Finally, the place has at least two--and maybe more--distinct personalities, so when you go will determine the type of experience you enjoy.
Weekday evenings, it's a local watering hole. Not crowded. Seated and served immediately, no reservations required. Great ambiance and friendly crowds. Goof food and drink at *very* reasonable prices. The house special Lapu-Lapu is a whole lot of tasty booze in a large brandy snifter for under ten bucks. One should do the trick. Their ribs are also great--a house specialty--and also under ten bucks.
Friday and Saturday nights are a whole different story. The Royal Hawaiian metamorphoses into a very hip, very happening 20- to 30-something nightclub that spills out onto the sidewalk outside. The food and drinks are still great, but don't expect fast service--they're swamped. The timid should come back some other time. If you're bold enough to elbow your way all the way up to the bar, you should get a drink in just a few minutes. Otherwise....
I haven't had a chance to try it during the daytime--weekdays or weekends--but i imagine that when I do, I'll probably find two more personalities.
I'm a people-watcher, and a bit crazy. I'm a writer. I like places like this because in addition to being great fun, they also provide marvelous material for fiction.

Pros: A Hemingway hangout, if there ever was one! Good Food, Good Booze, Great Prices and Ambiance
Cons: Don't expect a quiet dinner on Friday or Saturdy night--it's more of a nightclub then.

I had never had Caribbean food before visiting Eva's. The food is first class, followed by the fun and cozy atmosphere. The drinks are a great part of the fun too. Try a rum drink, you won't be disappointed. An explosion of good taste, try something different and be surprised. They have been around for a long time and they are always busy. You will know why once you eat here.

I have been going to Taco Loco for years now, and can always realy on their food. Monday nights they have a deal on the Tofu Mushroom burgers and on Wednesdays you can get pasta which is not normally on the menu. I recommend the Tofu Mushroom or chicken pasta, which is chock full of veggies like broccoli and carrots, with a mystery green sauce. If you are really hungry try the nachos, they are huge and come with real melted cheese not the crappy ballpark kind. The vegan cookies are really good too.. even if you are not vegan.
Pros: Right across the street from the beach, fast and easy, to-go orders
Cons: Can be really cold outside in the wintertime

I discovered Mosun after overhearing some guys at the beach say they were getting all-you-can-eat sushi for $20. My boyfriend and I have been regulars ever since. The sushi is fresh and of good quality but you can't beat the price. There are different sushi specials almost every night of the week. A few nights a week there are also drink specials. We like to sit at the sushi bar and talk to the sushi chefs. We've gone so many times they even know us by name. I've gone to Club M a few times too but if I'm driving all the way to Laguna, I'm going for the sushi. Best bets - Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights. No matter what night you go - ask for a Hurricane Roll.
