    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.

    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

    Ask the Community - Reunion Kitchen + Drink

    Any gluten free items?

    Hi Jim, we do have a gluten sensitive menu available for those who do not have severe allergies to gluten. Unfortunately, due to the nature of our kitchen, we are unable to guarantee any items on this menu to be "gluten free". Hope to serve you… 

    Is there parking?

    Yes, but it's shared with many other businesses and is often very tight.

    Do u still offer bottomless mimosas for brunch?

    No, they do not have a service staff

    Is there Happy Hour, if so what days and times?

    Hi Nikole, our Happy Hour is from 4pm to 6pm, Monday through Friday. $2 off all Snack Plates… 

    Is there a patio?

    Yes, very open.

    Do you have heat lamps on your patio?

    They do 😊

    What are the vegan options?

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    We offer champagne for 4.95 per glass or mimosa for 5.95 with purchase of an entree.

    Are you guys doing your bottomless mimosa brunch on the weekends still at this location?

    We do offer our champagne and mimosas on weekends during our breakfast / lunch shift. The only change has been that we limit service to 90 mins due to new Covid protocols. Thank you so much for the inquiry

    Are there ocean views and patio seating?

    It’s mostly rooftop with a few peak views of the ocean. The patio does have very high ceilings with open architecture heaters and fans and a beautiful candlelit wall.

    Do you guys offer bottomless mimosas or brunch on the weekends?

    We do offer a bottomless Mimosa and champagne option. We do have to limit it to two hours and we are careful to serve responsibly.

Great martinis, and overall we enjoyed our food (blackened fish sandwich with fries and the bistro plate) and the energetic vibe. Not 5 stars because I ordered the filet medium rare and it came well-done, and the French onion soup was lukewarm with a slice of unmelted cheese floating on top. Also the floor was oddly slippery, and it was actually comical watching people a few drinks deep trying to navigate to the bathroom without falling. This is in a main tourist drag so my expectations were managed, and I'd still come back for drinks when I'm in the area. It's only a 10 min walk from Pageant of the Masters, though valet parking (down the street at their sister restaurant South of Nicks) closes around 10:30pm so plan accordingly.

We had never heard of Lumberyard before, but the menu seemed to have balanced selection of land and sea offerings. So this was perfect for both of us. Lumberyard is located in a walkable section of Laguna Beach, in the heart of all of the action. The ocean/beach is a quick walk from the front door, so this is the perfect location for dinner and an evening stroll. Parking is challenging as you have the option of parking in the lot across the street or in the structure down the road. Traffic is also quite heavy as Laguna Canyon is a road that is heavily traveled. Lumberyard is a restaurant that offers an intimate dining experience with more of a laid back vibe. It's kind of dark inside as they keep the lights dimmed. The bar is front and center and takes up a good portion of the restaurant. There's a small section toward the front, just behind the hostess where live bands play a small set for guests. The menu has a nice selection of items that appealed to both of us. I am an incredibly picky eater, often focusing on vegetarian dishes or seafood. I ended up ordering the Parmesan crusted sole with mashed potatoes and lemon butter with a Shirley Temple. My husband ordered chicken pot pie and a creamsicle mocktail. I liked the presentation of the whole meal. My Shirley Temple had little heart candies floating atop of it. So cute! As for our meals, I can say that this was well worth the price. I took a bite of the pie crust on my husband's chicken pot pie and it tasted homemade. It was delicious! My sole was pretty tasty! The lemon butter was super creamy and it added more flavor to an already tasty piece of fish. The potatoes were light and fluffy! The meal was delicious! Our experience at Lumberyard was great. People from all walks of life were there that evening. Some people were dressed in jeans with sneakers while others were dressed to impress. The staff were very professional and our waiter was attentive. Our experience at Lumberyard was quite nice and we would definitely return for another date night in the near future.

We got seated at our table at our table around 4:30p and had the most perfect view of the ocean! *we went on a Friday night and noticed the patio cleared out about 4:45-5pm and I didn't appear to have a lot of people waiting during that time. The main patio was covered with umbrellas, so once you are seated for dinner, there was plenty of umbrellas for shade and heaters for when it got a little cooler. For our food orders, and as recommended by our server, we went with their seafood options and ordered their Pacific Ceviche for an appetizer and for Entrees my husband got the Roasted Halibut and me and my mother-in-law both got the Scallop and Shrimp pasta. We all loved our dishes and were very satisfied with our choices. Their menu does have non-seafood options, but why not to try what they're most prominent for? They don't have a dessert menu, but they heard that we were celebrating mom's birthday so they brought us a little Toffee Cake to share and enjoy...and for a place that doesn't have dessert, the cake was pretty delicious. Such a cute place all around. My husband and I can't wait to go back! Parking - they have valet parking available right in front of the restaurant or theres street metered parking in the surrounding area.

    I was really hoping for a great lunch, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read more The poke and mussels were actually very good, which makes it even more frustrating that the rest of the meal fell so short. I ordered the scallop and shrimp pasta, and on my very first bite of the scallop, it had a strong ammonia taste--a common sign that seafood has gone bad. After that, I completely lost my appetite and couldn't eat the rest of my meal. My daughter ordered the cioppino, and after checking the seafood in her dish, we noticed the scallop was also very rubbery and didn't seem fresh either. Fresh seafood is something restaurants should never compromise on. Based on this experience, I can't recommend eating here and would suggest trying another restaurant instead.
