Thank you Ciana for making our evening so special.

We never felt rushed or pressured to order quickly. I got the spicy chicken sandwich after seeing previous reviews, and my wife got the Lagunaian wedge and Mac & cheese. Everything was exceptional. I love blue cheese, but am not the biggest fan of fried chicken with cheese on it. This combo flipped me on my head, so delicious with the blue cheese slaw. The Mac & cheese was almost like a hybrid of a baked Mac and a gooier stovetop style Mac, and the six cheese blend added a lot of depth of flavor. We have already agreed that we will be back at least once more while we're down here for the chicken sandwich again.

We got our food in about 10 min or so. I got the mushroom burger which was great. The patty was medium done and very juicy. The salmon dish was not bad, but the vegetables didn't taste as good. There's parking below the restaurant and you can validate. Big plus!

I got the bistro plate which included a petite fillet, salad and soup. At my age, it was a perfect amount of food. My wife ordered the salmon plate, which was really good. Nice piece of salmon with mashed potatoes and an awesome flavored sautéed spinach. We finished it off with a warm butter cake. It was decent. A little dry but still yummy with the vanilla ice cream. Overall, a really good done experience. Definitely will be back.

Nicks comes through as one of OC's hot spots with a well deserved reputation. I had the Cioppino which was Wow good they loaded it with fish and shellfish. I would 100% order this again. My wife got the piccata which I know is a favorite here. Very well done and a huge portion. We started with the deviled eggs which were not my fave with the deep fried whatever in them. I get it, a crunchy take on the ubiquitous deviled egg. But I'm a purist by nature. One of the better multi chain restaurants in OC. I cannot wait to try the SC location close to my house.

We brought our toddler son with us, and Crews was incredibly accommodating and friendly. He even brought him a stuffed animal, which was such a thoughtful touch! Despite how busy he was, Crews was hustling the entire time, taking great care of all his tables while still continuously checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Now on to the food. We had the kampachi, risotto, and yellowtail, and everything was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend Harvest, especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. Thank you, Crews and the Harvest team, for making our anniversary dinner so memorable!

They also had free blankets upon request since we got a bit cold. Overall I would say service was a tiny bit slow but they were pretty busy on a Friday night Smoked baba ganoush: 2/5 this was just ok none of us really loved it Hot honey glazed carrots: 1.5/5 the carrots seemed like they were just boiled and had honey drizzled on top. Maybe my bad for misinterpreting the menu but I was expecting a honey glaze on roasted carrots which is definitely not what we got Grilled bone-in pork chop: 5/5 this was super good and made up for the appetizers. I was getting a little impatient by the time this came out so I'm glad this didn't disappoint My cousin got the crispy fried jidori half chicken which she didn't like because she was expecting a grilled chicken but I thought the chicken was really good. Def a bit heavy of a meal overall though and there were way more hush puppies than I would ever want to eat in one sitting

Grilled Cheese - Seriously a MUST order. My picture doesn't even come close to doing it justice. So so good! Shrimp & Chorizo Tacos - We've loved these for years! They took them off the menu for a while and we're so glad they're back because they're sooo good. Burger - 10/10. Juicy, cooked perfectly, and really flavorful lots of fresh ingredients. Ceviche - A little on the small side, but super fresh and great flavor :) The location is right on the beach with ocean views and that makes everything better We had a group of 7 and our server was awesome. She was really sweet, kept checking in on us, and made everything easy even with a bigger group. If you're in Laguna and looking for a spot with good food, great views, and a chill vibe, The Deck is always a great choice. There's so many options and haven't had a bad dish here ever. I didn't order them this Time but we normally get the dozen oysters and they are delicious too

Of course, the views are what really make this place special. The restaurant sits right above the Pacific Ocean, and the views were absolutely spectacular. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing lunch while enjoying the beauty of Laguna Beach. Our server, Peter, was also wonderful.
