There's nearly nothing here we like. I wish they would hire a new chef and completely replace the menu. The dry aged burger had a very tarty sour flavor profile. I believe it's mostly due to the homemade pickles. It could also be due to the dijonnaise, or even the bacon marmalade. Then I got a side of ranch, and even that was tarty. Amazing view though! read more

My visit to the Harvest was absolutely amazing. It is a gorgeous venue with amazing views tucked right into a little area of Laguna Beach along the Aliso Creek. The staff and hostesses were great and very attentive with all of our needs and questions. Our server, Juan, made our experience here absolutely wonderful and did a great job at letting us feel like a part of the community and welcome at everything The Ranch had to offer. Being a farm to table restaurant makes the dining experience absolutely unique. The menu was based on seasonal ingredients and really highlighted the amazing food presented. I ordered their daily special, a Uni Risotto, and added their daily catch of Salmon. My jaw was on the floor with this meal. The soft, butter-like uni, the crispy and perfectly seasoned salmon, crisp of the rice, and a fresh pairing with chayote and wakame made this meal perfect. I paired it with a glass of their Riesling. I ended the night with their Dark Chocolate Crème Brûlée topped with fresh blueberries and blackberries. Again, stunning, delicious, and my top-rating. read more

I read about this Harvest has nice surroundings some time back. Since it's spring time and I want to find a nice quiet spot for Sunday brunch, Harvest comes to my mind on the top of my list. It's located right next to Aliso beach in Laguna beach. My daughter and I sit on the second floor outside overlooking the golf course where there is a wedding reception going on. The spring breeze feels warm and cozy. The server came to us promptly. We ordered Bone Marrow, Market Fish Ceviche, Mushroom Quiche, they all very good, fresh and delicious. We had a great experience, and I love to bring my family and friends to come back again forth both the nice environment and good food. read more

The people are so kind and accommodating! We brought our two toddlers and they were so kind and patient. Had a kids menu and crayons! The drinks here are amazing but this was our first time for lunch. I've never had a squash blossom but LOVED these. Fresh ricotta and green goddess dressing was creamy and herbal and fresh! The chicken tortilla soup was so perfect- slightly creamy, great flavor and lots of chicken! The shrimp tacos were incredible great seasoning on the shrimp. I didn't taste the jalepeno aioli but it was delicious nonetheless. The spiced chips and guac on the side were incredible. Those chips on top of the tortilla soup would have been perfect. The fish sandwich was good but a little bit boring- I'd recommend the tacos over the fish sandwich! The views are incredible and we love the people here. Will define one back! read more

Food is great. Been here twice and food is great. Make reservations. Order swordfish and the steak!! Yum!! Nice view as well!!!

Lovely atmosphere but disappointing experience. We've been here many times and although the food is just ok, it's the atmosphere we really enjoy. This time it was one mishap after another. The service was very frantic and disorganized. We ordered beer first and 10 minutes later our food. A different server brought out the food but our beer which we were hoping to have prior to food never came. On top of that, one of the dishes was incorrect and not what we had ordered. The server kept insisting that we keep the dish instead and my husband mentioned multiple times that he didn't want that dish. He left rolling his eyes as if that is our fault. After 10 mins we see our original server passing and flag him down, asking where our beer was and also what happened to my husband's food? He looked confused and said he will check into it. Then we see him make his rounds at other tables and taking orders as we were still waiting. My food (burger and fries) were completely cold at this point while we waited another 20 minutes for my husband's food to arrive. I ended up not eating my food as I lost my appetite and wasn't enjoying a cold burger. This is the worse part, we go to pickup our car from the valet and there was a major damage to the interior. We asked the valet driver on what had happened and he said he didn't know, maybe it was like that when we dropped it off?? He collected his tip and immediately took off. The car was perfectly fine before and my husband immediately said that to him, a piece of our door trim was falling off when they returned the car. This never happens, how can your door trim just fall off?? So so disappointed!!! read more

Delicious food! Beautiful ambiance! Everything tasted so good. The service was great. Some of their ingredients are fresh from their place where they grow it. Truffle bread is amazing. The butternut squash appetizer was amazong. That lebneh is chefs kiss. The breakfast - pancakes were so good and so was their yogurt. So smooth and delicious! I wanna go back! We stayed at their hotel and for my bday they gave me a free dessert! Thank you Harvest and The Ranch! read more

If you're looking for a cute brunch date that has solid food and service, I highly recommend giving this space a chance! It is located next to a golf course with decent foot traffic, however, the restaurant didn't feel overly crowded. It's tucked away in a small street corner off of the PCH, but ample of space once you make your way inside. I believe it is valet only? unless you're able to find street parking which would be extremely rare. We made a reservation for a bachelorette brunch with a group of 10+ ladies and we were seat upon arrival. There were many empty tables with a lot of natural lights for a really nice indoor/outdoor feel. I will be honest, the food did taste like every other American brunch spots with similar service, so you're only paying a little bit more for the location and ambience. read more

I recently stayed at The Ranch Laguna and ate at Harvest multiple times during my visit. The service was absolutely amazing. Standout staff included Edgar G, Daniel, Modesto, Roberto, and Frank. They were kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make every meal special. Service like this is exactly why I keep coming back. I loved the steak breakfast and the croissant breakfast. I also really enjoyed the chicken club and the posole soup. The pork chop was recommended to me and even though I'm not usually a pork chop person, it was good. I do wish I had tried the fish because I've heard such great things about it, hopefully next time! My water glass was never empty and I was always asked if I needed anything. Every detail was taken care of and I couldn't appreciate it more. Highly recommend! read more

Came to celebrate a birthday with a big party. The view and atmosphere was amazing. Definitely a hidden gem in the heart of Laguna Beach but when you enter it's like you are a thousand miles away. The food was perfectly seasoned and our group of six was able to share three salads, three appetizers and three entrees. My favorite was the beet salad, bone marrow, and short rib. Service was good and he allowed our party to take our time ordering and eating and having fun. Definitely will come back. read more

Amazing restaurant located in "The Ranch" hotel. We came for a girls getaway weekend and had lunch and dinner here. Dinner items: Milk bread rolls-for a whopping $19, I had very high expectations. And it surprisingly delivered so well, we ordered a second one since there were 8 of us and not everyone got to try a roll with just one order. These were a garlicky, buttery, melt in your mouth warm bread roll that I've tried to make at home but just can't figure it out Garden mezze platter-babaganoush was amazing, white bean spread was ok Baby wedge salad-very good. I never order a wedge as I don't care for blue cheese too much, but we were all glad we got it. The blue cheese was not too overpowering Crispy skin salmon-very well cooked and seasoned Braised short rib-great portion, and not too fatty as many short ribs are Harissa grilled lamb loin- one of the hits of the night. I normally stay away from ordering lamb at restaurants all together because they'll give you 2 lamb chops and call it a day-leaving me still very hungry-but the lamb loin had great flavor and consistency without the "lamby" taste with a good portion size Wild shrimp pasta-wonderful sauce with a house made tagliatelle and 4 shrimps Whole branzino-massive size served with great artichokes Mac and cheese-this was just OK for me, tasted more like a cream sauce than actual mac n cheese Smashed fingerling potatoes-perfect texture with the right amount of crispiness on the outside They also had an uni ceviche as a special which was a hit at the table as well Last slice of Apple pie-holy moly this was so delicious with apples so fresh they tasted like they were picked straight from the farm that day. Served with a great salted caramel ice cream that wasn't too sweet Basque cheesecake-amazingly light, airy cheesecake served with a great blackberry jam Chocolate chip cookies-these were good, nothing crazy to write home about though. If you're going to pick only one dessert, go with the apple pie For lunch the next day, I had the shrimp tacos which were really juicy and served with fresh guac on the side. My friend got the cobb salad which was massive and hearty. We got to tour their farm before lunch at 11 which is a cute little tour if you have time. Phillip was our waiter for dinner and he was a rockstar who brought the energy throughout the whole meal. Overall, we all were so pleased with our meals and left with our stomachs and heart full. read more

A beautiful place in an amazing setting with great ambiance. Very welcoming and friendly staff, and the food was top-notch. They have their own garden, and their food is made with the highest quality ingredients. We had the black cod special, the pork chop (my son-in-law said it was the best pork chop he's ever had!) The sweet potato appetizer was also spectacular. Wissam was our waiter, and he was perfect! He understood our sense of humor, and his service was so warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed our time there and will definitely go back! Thank you, Wissam and staff. read more

Had an amazing experience here at harvest. I want to say hats off to management Chris and Ashley for having an amazing server such as Crews. He recommended the best specials for us and the food was extremely delicious. The restaurant not only delivered on great food, but also an amazing ambience as well with views of the mountain at the golf course, not to mention the lights at night. Wanted to thank Crews once again since his service was above and beyond. Everything he did was proactive and we never had to wait on anything! We'll be back for future occasions and a job well done! read more

The appeal of this place is definitely the outside area - so pretty with the golf course and such a nice outdoor spot for the restaurant. I didn't have high expectations for the food but it was very underwhelming. The Cobb salad had way too much blue cheese and no flavor whatsoever (needed a lot of salt). The service was friendly but somewhat slow. Seems like a nice spot to have a celebration but the food is lacking . They have free valet read more

We are there over Labor Day and was not impressed. The menu is basically elevated pub food and it fails to meet gastropub level. We started with the octopus which had an indescribably coarse mix of salami and beans and other stuff that didn't mesh at all with the octopus. There was a good sauce hidden under a pile of random food items like squash. I had the Ranch steak which is flakier bavette - the most tasteless steak I ever had. Seriously it was poorly salted and then nothing. No flavor at all. Partner had the burger. It was fine but again, are we at a fine dining restaurant or a pub? Drinks: I had a gin martini which wasn't mixed well and a glass of wine that was 2 buck chuck level. read more

Absolutely incredible. The food, the vibe, the view, and the service all 5/5. I went here for my birthday and the server, although I forget his name, was very thoughtful and gave great and realistic recommendations! We got the focaccia bread to share, it was fluffy and delicious. I got the red wine braised short ribs- they are a must try. I picked up my knife to quickly realized it wasn't necessary at all. The meat was so tender. Days later and I'm still daydreaming about this meal. My boyfriend got the swordfish which was amazing as well although he wished he had gotten the same thing as me after trying mine. Both dishes were amazing. We absolutely will be back! read more

Harvest - Cinnamon Roll!! - New American Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Harvest is located inside The Ranch at Laguna Beach. Beautiful views, golf course, cottages/ rooms to stay in, a nice place for wedding venue (inside the Ranch). In fact when we were here, they were setting up by the golf course and below the restaurant patio which has a perfect view of the wedding reception venue. We went for lunch on a weekend, where they served breakfast and lunch from the menu. I believe they have valet parking which we didn't do and found self parking. There was not a lot of spaces for self parking as mostly are reserved for hotel guests. We parked a little further which we didn't mind as we also get to explore the place. And it was a nice day! I had the sweet tea fried chicken salad. The chicken was crunchy on the outside but moist and tender in the inside. It was nicely complemented with the candied pecans, baby spinach, goat cheese, strawberries, & avocado in balsamic vinaigrette dressing. My husband had the short rib breakfast burrito which came with a side of house chips and salsa. He enjoyed his burrito. I had some of his chips and salsa which I truly enjoyed with my very refreshing iced tea. Service was good! We had Kayla, who was happy to chat with us more about The Harvest. It's history, renovation a few years back, and at one point being owned by Montage. Mentioned a couple other businesses owned by the current owners. It was nice knowing its history as my husband has been here a long time ago and didn't remember it being this nice. Kayla was also attentive. The service, the food and the view made our experience a very positive one! read more

Met with friends here for a brunch. Food was good, not great, service is terrific, prices are reasonable for the area and clientele. Great views overlooking the golf course. There was a wedding set up on the course the day we were there, very beautiful. Lots of high-end cars here because of the location and the demographic. You have the Ritz just down the way, and a lot of money in the area. If there was 1 new Bentley there had to be 20. Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini SUV's, Maybach's, Mercedes AMG, etc... It's like a mini car show in the parking lot. I, personally, wouldn't come here just to eat on a regular day, but it is a gorgeous place to meet up with people for a good, higher-end experience. A little tricky to get to, look for the Ben Brown's Golf Course sign on PCH and follow the road all the way to the back past the construction project area. But once you get there, it is beautiful. You will have a good time. read more

It's been almost 2 months since our anniversary, but my girlfriend and I still talk about how wonderful our experience was at Harvest. From the classy ambience to the truly farm-to-table food, it was the perfect way to celebrate our day. What makes it the most memorable anniversary for us is honestly the service that we received. Philip was SUCH a warm and welcoming server that it's hard to forget what an incredible night we had. He took some beautiful pictures of us that we will always look back on fondly. He even had us laughing the whole night! We definitely had the best anniversary here and we HIGHLY recommend Harvest to anyone who's looking for an A+ restaurant. Money well spent! read more

We had reservations for 8PM for Harvest. We were also staying at the Ranch at Laguna Beach hotel which is on this property. (If you didn't know) We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation time and were seated right away in a great seat near a fireplace. The front staff were very friendly and welcoming and led us to our table. Our waiter was amazing and saw that we wanted to take a photo and walked us out to the balcony to take multiple photos of us. He went above and beyond and we were very impressed. The food was all outstanding from appetizers to dessert. We started with Oysters and Shrimp cocktail and both were excellent. We then had a carrot and ginger soup that was amazing. We ordered our entrees and also had dessert. The presentation for each item we ordered definitely impressed us. When we made our reservation we let them know we were celebrating our anniversary and they had a Happy Anniversary card on our table when we arrived. We felt right at home and enjoyed the decor and fireplace during our meal. We can easily recommend that you stop at Harvest if you are in the area or staying at the Ranch at Laguna Beach. The staff really went above and beyond and made us feel like we were the most important table. No easy feat when the restaurant was fairly busy. read more

Seen Harvest on social media prior to visiting. Made a reservation for my wife, our daughter, and myself. Utilizing OpenTable made the reservation process simple. It's a beautiful restaurant tucked into this valley of Laguna Beach. It's honestly a hidden gem. Valet is complimentary, so gratuity is up to you. The resort, golf course, landscaping, and area is picture worthy! The restaurant itself is easy to find and staff is very kind. The hostess complimented my wife, which was nice of her. The menu itself is kind of limited, but the experience made it worth it. We went for breakfast, which was really good. It's not the most traditional breakfast, but everyone can find something they like! I would highly recommend this hidden gem to friends and family. read more
