My friends and I decided to go to Hush for New Years Eve...boy was that a mistake! The fixed price for the dinner that night was $145 and it only included the meal and a glass of champagne. We were all a little reluctant because of the price but we were hoping it would be worth it.\r
\r
The first thing we noticed was the table was really weird. The bench seats on one side were very high and the chairs across the table were really low so I was looking up at my friends across from me all night. It was also really loud and the lighting was too bright.\r
\r
We brought 4 bottles of wine knowing we would have to pay the corkage fee for 4 bottles but our server told us that we could only have 2 bottles of wine per table. We spoke to the manager about it and he gave us a huge attitude and reluctantly let us open 3 bottles of wine. \r

They brought out bread first and it was dry and stale. As the rest of courses began to come out we could not believe how small the portions were, the appetizer was literally one bite and the salad 3 lettuce leaves! For the main course I wanted to order the lobster and requested that the shell be removed but the server refused to do that for me. One of my friends ordered the filet mignon and requested that the meat was cooked well done but it came out very pink and uncooked and had to send it back twice. My friend that did order the lobster said there was hardly any meat and when she asked for some melted butter for the lobster they brought out a tub of unmelted butter.\r

The dessert I had was awful (and I love dessert) and it was served with this very sour sauce. \r

I wish I would have checked with another friend of mine first, she said she went for her birthday earlier this year and they paid $150 per head and they were very disappointed in the food and service as well. This restaurant is very overpriced and average. There are far better restaurants in Laguna Beach that I would recommend over this one.
Cons: Too loud, too bright, horrible parking
