    Short Rib Stroganoff
    Doryaneh M.

    I went to this place with my dad after finding it on Yelp. The restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere inside, though it felt a bit too dark. Our server was okay -- not very friendly, but maybe she was just having a tough day or was behind. The food was decent but not perfect. I ordered the tuna sandwich and the Stroganoff spaghetti, and while the flavors were good, both dishes felt overly oily.

    Crispy slaw
    Ann L.

    Reunion is located in Boat Canyon shopping center in Laguna Beach. There is ample parking and reservations are recommended during the summer. My friend and I decided to split the Sourdough cheeseburger that came with several side choices. We chose the shoestring fries and we ordered an additional side of crispy slaw. The cheeseburger was ok, nothing special. Seemed a bit greasy to me. The shoestring fries were good and the crispy slaw had way too much Thai peanut dressing. The prices are a bit high for average food.

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Jesse H.

    Came to Reunion after an eventful wedding weekend on a Sunday morning! Ordered the Hawaiian bread French toast, Chicken & Biscuits, Breakfast Sandwich with sausage, Hangover breakfast burrito, and the chilaquiles w/ over medium eggs. Started off with the French toast, which was phenomenal, a little too crunchy and stiff at the bottom but delicious otherwise. The chicken and biscuits was delicious and savory! The breakfast burrito was huge and full of flavor! The chilaquiles were a little dry but had delicious taste. The breakfast sandwich was good but the sausage patty had a very weird consistency, so we took it off and ate just an egg and cheese sandwich. All in all 4/5. The service was great and fast, our server was very attentive and always fast with refills. The restaurant was a bit on the slower side but it's expected on a Coachella weekend, the city was a bit less packed than normal. The vibe was quiet with an older crowd trickling in throughout the morning.

    This place definitely disappointed me. I have had this restaurant on my list for awhile and I will not go back. The experience was not horrible. Mainly the food and price was disappointing . The food was very average and the price point was quite high. Service was great. We received the food very fast. And the server gave us good options. The place is pretty small but we were lucky to not have a wait. I am not sure if there usually is one but the place was busy but not absolutely full. As for the food, my favorite plate was the jalapeño poppers. They were grilled nicely and the bacon was crispy. As for my plate, I tried the shortrib based off of the servers recommendation. Though it was pricier, I felt that I would rather pay for something amazing than something basic. The food was good but it was nothing better than what you can get an any other restaurant. The mashed potatoes were fine, but they did not stand out. They were not buttery or garlicky. They were just plain, also the onion straws did nothing for the plate. As for the horseradish sauce, it was only drizzled on, I requested an additional side after receiving the dish in hopes that it would add a pop of flavor. I was incorrect. It was more of a horseradish sauce diluted in sour cream. The Asian crispy ribs were good. Definitely crispy. But again nothing out of this world. I can best compare the food and vibe to a Yard House. Though I think you would have more options and better flavored dishes at Yard House. The price here was not justified. The food here wasn't amazing. The portions weren't extra large (just normal). So I think it's a bit over priced. I say skip this restaurant. Find a Yard House or a Lazy dog. Honestly, I would have been happier going to the Ruby's Diner nearby. Again, service and all of the employees were nice. Just the food did not hit the spot.

    Short Rib Stroganoff
    Colin O.

    The short rib dishes were both very tasty. And the portions were also pretty decent. The chicken wings were crispy but a little bland. Dipping sauce was ok, chili sauce definitely better than buffalo. The calamari was also very good. Will definitely come back if I am in the area.

    Loaded Deviled Eggs
    Jamie A.

    Always an incredible experience at Reunion but especially love their Laguna location. Bf got the wedge salad and cup of French onion soup which he really enjoyed and I got the amazingggg juicy patty melt on a brioche bun (so a burger? Haha) with the outstanding and absolutely sinful warm potato salad. That thing is addicting!!! We also shared the loaded deviled eggs to start and agreed it was delicious. The portions are so generous and fit the price and the quality of the food is unmatched. We also loved the attentive service and gorgeous Saturday evening ambiance for a cozy dinner. Their negroni is also fantastic! We will be in again soon.

    French toast 10/10!
    Nancy R.

    Went for brunch on a Saturday with friends. The food is delicious, the French toast was a 10/10! Juan was our sever, he was great! Very attentive. Will definitely visit again.

    Citrus salmon salad without onions & peppers was delicious. Generous on the salmon.
    Terri K.

    Yummy food, great drinks, amazing service & large portions. We will be back. My husband's vanilla old fashioned was wonderful. My wine pour was very generous. The chicken pot pie was large & my husband loved it. I had the salmon citrus salad, the salmon was cooked perfectly & citrus dressing was light with great flavor. Kevin was an excellent server. Checked in, was present & helpful.

    BBQ Glazed Meatloaf
    Kenny J.

    Very quaint space with a nice combination modern style and beach nostalgia. The food was outstanding. Salads were delicious, flatiron steak prepared perfectly, and meatloaf was ridiculous. The had the Thursday night football game on for us to enjoy conversation and keep track of the score. Jaden provided superb service and dinner recommendations. Loved they had mocktail options.

    i went here for valentine's day! i've been to this one and the one in anaheim, the one here in laguna has a more fancy aesthetic. feels a little more boujee haha, food was great and service was fast. reservation was easy to make even if it was last minute. their butter cake is to DIE for

    Blood Mary
    Ken Z.

    Overall: stopped by here on a whim but was really impressed with the quality of food Food: 5/5 +RECOMMEND: skirt steak was cooked a perfect medium rare paired with a nice sauce +Blue cheese on the mashed potatoes offered a nice amount of tang +Asparagus was cooked just enough +They toned down the spiciness of the Bloody Mary at my request. The stuffed bacon wrapped jalapeño was yummy Service: 5/5 Despite us being there for a late lunch, the staff were really attentive to our orders and requests. Ambiance: 4/5 Classic restaurant-close-to-the-water vibes with dashes of surfer inspirations. Clean and cool. Since it wasn't too crowded, not too noisy.

    Juan is always very attentive

    Do u still offer bottomless mimosas for brunch?

I ordered the Caesar salad with steak, and it was hands down one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had. The dressing was rich and flavorful, and the steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully. We also started with the focaccia appetizer, which was outstanding. The bread was warm, soft, and fresh, and the honey butter spread completely exceeded my expectations. I could have eaten it by itself all night! For my drink, I had the chef's special cocktail made with limoncello vodka and (I believe) lemon boba.

This area just across PCH has always been a convenient place to grab something, but it's even better now that they've closed off the street and turned it into a promenade of sorts.
