Came here for OC Restaurant Week. The portions were very generous. Started with the sweet gem lettuce and fresh goat cheese salad, entree was the lamb shank, and ended with the vanilla bean crème brûlée. Great food, great staff and beautiful sunset! read more

Perfect Spot~ I absolutely love this place! Located right on PCH in Laguna Beach, the vibes here are just perfect--great atmosphere, ocean views, and a relaxing feel. Always in Laguna and this spot is a go-to. It's came to celebrate a birthday, and the service was great. Our waitress and the staff were super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. For food, I got the ahi tuna salad, which was incredibly fresh, and my boyfriend had the ribeye steak, cooked perfectly. The focaccia bread was so fresh too. The drinks were also really good! I love restaurants like this --great location, excellent service, and delicious food. read more

Overall, food and service were amazing! I recommend getting a reservation if you're dining in the weekend. They have plenty of seating indoors as well as an outdoor patio with heat lamps during the cold nights. I got the slow braised Berkshire pork ragu and loved it! The meat was tender and it was a great pasta dish. I had espresso martini as my drink. Their servings are also decent so I had leftovers. Everyone else loved their food and I was able to try a piece of the rib eye steak and wow!! I will be getting that next time! Both the desserts we got were very tasty and loved the presentation. We parked in a metered parking spot across the restaurant so I suggest getting early enough to find parking in the area. read more

Love this place. It's now our most favorite restaurant experience in OC. great food, wonderful staff, ambience is phenomenal especially on the deck in the summer time. Can't wait to go back. read more

Food was mediocre, service was a little slow but they seemed to be short staffed to be fair. Our server was kind. Fish tacos were way too big and very messy, slaw was very mayo heavy and the tortilla tasted stale. Burger was okay but the fries were soggy and unenjoyable. Overall it was just okay, nothing too amazing that I'd return for. The ambience was pleasant since you can see the ocean, so for the view maybe I'd recommend this place to those who enjoy small bites and drinks. read more

I made my reservation for dinner at Sapphire well in advance of my trip to Laguna Beach, and I was absolutely satisfied with everything. I over-ordered because I knew I'd want leftovers. My server was extremely helpful, and wisely steered me to order their special pesto focaccia with chunks of pork belly and cheese. It was perfect, and I successfully carried it (and my leftover dessert (dark chocolate chunk & fromage blanc cookies with peanut butter gelato and peanut crumbles) back home with me for laters. They were just as good! read more

I had a great experience at Sapphire. I came for a girls brunch and we had a table for 10. It was quite busy given that it was a Saturday in the summer. I ordered a blt and a glass of wine. The waiter was a bit slow, but again it was busy. The meal was great. Parking can be hard. read more

Great service and cute vibes~ foccaca bread and butter was so yummy. Our server was so friendly!

I really enjoyed the outdoor experience for dinner here. There are fire heaters outside with plenty of seating. It does get a bit chilly even with the fire heaters but it's a nice romantic but casual place to enjoy dinner. My bf and I ordered two entrees and an appetizer to share. I can't remember the dish names but it was a pasta dish and a cutlet. The appetizer was Brussels sprouts with pork belly on top ($22). It's a bit pricey for the dinner but it's normal out here. Truly great flavors and delicious. Server was good. He was busy talking to others and because of that it took a while for us to get our check. It's okay though cause the quality time with my bf was nice. Overall good experience and a nice night out. read more

Ambience was good, beautiful location, relaxed atmosphere friendly staff.

This place has a nice view of the ocean in Laguna Beach. I visited with my daughter and we both enjoyed our breakfasts. I had the Wagyu burger because I was told it was highly rated in Laguna. I'm so glad I went with the burger even thought it was so early in the day for me. It was melt in your mouth, savory deliciousness. I gave my daughter a bite, and her response was, "Oh my gosh that is so good!". She ordered a fish sandwich, and she was thoroughly enjoying that as well, and until she decided to give me a taste. And, yes that was also delicious. This a good place to brunch with friends, enjoy the view, and then go for a walk. read more

With Sunday reservations made the morning of our planned brunch, 7 of us arrived ready to be seated on the outside patio on a beautiful sunny beach day. We were told prior reservations had filled all of the outdoor seating, and we would have to eat inside. We agreed, but by the time our lattes arrived, we were escorted onto the deck. We appreciated the manager's effort to accommodate us as several in the party were visiting from New England and delighted with the warmth and ocean view. The meals were generous portions, and the staff attentive, however, I felt the menu could be expanded to offer a wider selection. read more

Went for Sunday brunch. Most people choose the patio, but we had a nice ocean view from inside as well. We had their traditional breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast) and the egg/veggie scramble with fresh fruit, and both were excellent. The egg scramble was larger than it appears in pictures - probably 3 or 4 extra large eggs - topped with artichoke hearts, spinach, and red peppers. The fruit was generous and beautiful. Coffee all around was strong and flavorful. We were on a specific time schedule to get one of our group home for a surprise party, and our friendly server cooperated with my quiet word to him by timing things out perfectly. Prices are very reasonable for Laguna, and the decor is contemporary eclectic, with fascinating blown glass, seashell-shaped pendant lights. There's validated parking in a building behind, off of Brook Street, but you can't turn onto Brook from Coast (at east not left) - you have to go up a block, then around. The restaurant shares the space with a potter shop, chocolatier, and coffee/pastry shop for a pleasant little visit. We would definitely go back for any meal. read more

Totally forgot to take pics for the yelp, but it's gotta be good if not only you forget, but you end up eating everything! We went for my mother's 70th party, made reservations ahead . We were promptly seated with the menu and given time to order. Few people had questions but all were answered. Drinks were good and food was just amazing. I can see why my mom wanted to eat here! Have already recommended this place to coworkers and friends. You won't regret, esp when you have view of the ocean on PCH, and just a beautiful sunset . read more

This restaurant is a bit of a staple in this community... I have to say going for a restaurant week last night was so much fun ! Little birthday celebration with delicious food, fantastic service . Greg Patton , came over to check on us to make sure everything was perfect, it was... We got just the right table with just the right amount of heaters to sit outside on a gorgeous night . Our waiter, Jason , took such amazing care of us throughout the entire night. It was a birthday celebration so of course he made it extra special with some sorbet, which we all devoured. It was so fresh and so delicious with all the fresh berries on top. And not to mention the Chilean Seabass that we had for dinner. extremely generous piece of fish , as well as the salads. This restaurant is good to celebrate birthdays, loved ones, friendships , meetings, date night you name it. Dog friendly and there is parking in the back m. we got lucky and parked right out front read more

This is a really good restaurant in Laguna Beach. Highly recommend getting a table outside the patio right before sunset. On a nice day you could see the beach with a nice breeze. Great Ambiance! We ate here recently with another couple and we all enjoyed ourselves. I loved that they pride themselves with local grown vegetables as well. We started off with the oysters and the waitress gave us options on what kind of fresh oysters they had for the day. It was fresh and oysters never fail as your first appetizers. I mean, only if you like oysters! A lot of great items for the main course.. I'm definitely coming back...Let's talk about what I ordered. The halibut is a must. I loved it so much and was delicious. They grilled it perfectly with a slight crisp. The vegetables they put together was on a perfect mix of yams, lettuce, and some other assortments of herbs. I normally don't order halibut but it caught my eye and I knew it was going to be a good choice. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. My fiancé ordered the grilled salmon. She said it was one of the best cooked salmon's she had in a while. The consistency was cooked perfectly she mentioned. Not dry at all very moist. I normally don't like cooked salmon but when I had a bite, I wanted another one lol. The waitress who helped us out was very nice and we enjoyed her service. She made sure our drinks were filled and kept checking in. Too bad I couldn't remember her name.. She served us on 09/22 around 7-8pm. She was awesome. We'll be back! read more

Love this place! Service is excellent! Parking can be validated! We had the sapphire salad, Prime Short Rib Bolognese, and Hand-Cut Herb Fries. All were delish! We had to order a second order of fries. For drinks we ordered the mariposa and a drink that was like a margarita with an orange peel in the middle. I can't remember what it's called. Both were delish! We will definitely be back! read more

Ambiance is amazing and views of the beach! We sat down for a glass of wine and an app! This app was delicious and honestly could suffice as a meal! I would have easily given this place. 5 star but the service was not the best! The server seemed to have cared less if she was serving us or not which was unfortunate read more

Had a wonderful dinner with my and my brothers family. I reserved for 9 of us and we were seated right away. Beautiful restaurant with amazing food and service. We chose outdoor seating and it was perfect. Gorgeous weather and great ambiance. Our waiter was friendly, patient and attentive. We did have 4 kids dining with us. We shared two orders of Mac and cheese and it was delicious. We all loved it. My brother's halibut was amazing served with grilled lettuce and veggies. Most of us got the wagu burger and we all loved it. The crispy sandwich was ok and the fries too salty and mushy, none of us finished it. Overall a great place to have dinner specially if you have a large party. We had an amazing time here at the Sapphire. read more

We went to sapphire in Laguna Beach for brunch and sat on the patio. This is a great people watching location. The patio was busy but the service was phenomenal. We shared an order of waffles and they were amazing! We didn't put any syrup on them because the Meyer lemon crème fresh with berries was plenty sweet. I ordered the Ling Cod fish tacos and my partner ordered the Wagu burger and fries. Both were delicious and cooked to perfection. The burger does come a bit rare if ordered medium rare so you may want to keep that in mind when asked how you would like your burger cooked. The fish tacos came with generous portions of battered and fried cod. read more

Just happened upon this restaurant -Sapphire- while walking through Laguna Beach. The outdoor patio was very busy and lured us in. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a wait for outdoor seating so we took a table inside for more immediate service. Beautiful and unique atmosphere! Pretty coastal vibes with white wooden ceiling and walls, a touch of greenery and vines, unique shell-like lamps...feels homey, like you're inside a friends beach house. Large bar area with windows to its backside, makes the bottles glitter and colorful while filling the room with lots of natural light....the only thing that threw me off was the large glass candle votives on the tables -- the candles inside were melted almost completely down on nearly every table, with wax splattered on its sides (see pictures). It just looks messy and non aesthetic. I love a good candle at night but they should be removed in the morning once they melt down or replaced with something else (perhaps with lavender, like their logo?) Just my opinion! Menu was well laid out apart from not having their coffee options available to look over--but our server was kind enough to suggest a few options. I decided to try the iced crème brûlée latte and it tasted good, not overly sweet which I was pleased with. My husband ordered the espresso martini. I tried it and it was so smooth! Definitely recommend. For food items, we tried the soup of the day: red potato bisque, (excellent), the rosemary focaccia bread (just ok..too much smoky flavor for me), Mac n cheese skillet (very tasty!! but wish we added the truffles) and the seasonal sorbet with berries -- I believe it was cabernet flavored (beautiful presentation, came with two large scoops). Overall -- A really refreshing stop on our trip. Wonderful service too! Everyone was very friendly! Will have to return and enjoy the patio outside next time we're in town. read more

It's a cute spot in Laguna - I loved sitting outside! I was surprised that the duck meatballs was on the starters part of the menu because it was a full on pasta entree! The meatballs were juicy and flavorful. I loved all the different mushrooms in it and the sauce was savory deliciousness. We also got the cauliflower, brussel sprouts & pork belly. This was realllyyy good especially the cauliflower. I didn't love the pork belly, the flavor was lacking and the texture was sort of dry and chewy. Their drinks are really tasty here! And our server was constantly checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed. read more

Having dinner with colleagues in Laguna Beach after a great meeting at the office. There was 15 of us and we had a great table on the patio. We started with drinks. I ordered the Chef's cocktail which was earl grey infused vodka with coconut milk shaken with a sprig of lavender in a martini glass. See photo. For appetizers we ordered du k stuffed meatballs, herb truffle fries, Brussel sprouts and bread. For dinner l, I ordered the 45 day aged ribeye- med. rare with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. The steak was tasty with the sides but the portion of potatoes was not equivalent to the number of bites in the steak. For the size of the steak and the $, I would have expected more portion of the sides. The steak, even for a ribeye, seemed a bit fatty. I honest had enough to eat so the fatty portions saved me from my own appetite and made enough room for unexpected dessert. Our dinners took a while to come out so the restaurant provided us free dessert- crème brûlée and fancy ice cream and cookies. Good place in a great location. Cheers! read more

Sapphire in Laguna Beach is an absolute must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional dining. My wife and I consider it our go-to spot, and every visit reaffirms why. I got the short ribs, which was one of the entre options for their menu for OC Restaurant week. The short rubs were spot on--tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. If you have room for dessert, the crème brûlée is to die for, with a nice caramelized top that gives way to the most luscious, velvety custard. Beyond the incredible food, the ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a romantic evening or dinner with friends. The service is always top-notch, with attentive staff who make every visit feel special. Sapphire is a true gem in Laguna Beach, and we can't recommend it enough! read more

A great spot in Laguna Beach with great views, an excellent menu, attentive service, and delicious food. Took my daughter here for her birthday lunch, and overall, it was a great experience.

However, the truffle fries, gem salad, truffle mac & cheese, and crème brûlée were all outstanding! Would definitely return for those. read more

Classic Laguna Beach here. Delicious food , friendly service, and great views. If you want quintessential Laguna beach PCH vibes, come here. Quick service, as our server was sweet, attentive with every course perfectly timed and no wait. The bone in ribeye was the highlight, large in size and perfectly cooked with a delicious red wine sauce. The Salmon was also delicious paired with quinoa and veggies. The baked macaroni and cheese was great while the pork ragu was underwhelming. The drinks mediocre but the service and the ambiance was magical. We will definitely come back. read more

So server was so rude. Like unecessarily so. We asked if they had GF options. He said "umm no". We said oh Google says you do. He says "let me see it!" Laughing my ass off. What a jack ass. We showed he said "well yeah but we don't." We would not have come here. We had to modify the heck out of our food. If you are Gluten Free or Dairy free this is NOT THE PLACE for you.

Sapphire has got a great location in Laguna Beach. They are located on PCH, directly across from the beach and have dedicated parking in the garage located conveniently behind the restaurant (validation required). We've eaten here many times and the food is always excellent and the staff is friendly. Tonight it seemed like they were a little short staffed so our server was trying his best to accommodate all his guests. But I give an A+ to Pedro and the Manager who seem to be working with a very difficult customer/table. Even with that noise in the background Pedro was still all smiles and doing his best to provide excellent service. Thank you Pedro for also making a great wine recommendation to accompany my dinner. If you haven't tried this spot, I highly recommend! They've got a really cute outdoor patio that faces the PCH with really nice heaters so that you can dine outside all year round. read more
