    Voodoo Shrimp
    Cheryl R.

    This is a great choice if you're at the Festival of Arts or Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach. The elevated dining patio overlooks the artwork and also allows you to hear the music from the Concert on the Green. Service was pleasant and accommodating, as we shared entrees. We all enjoyed the Voodoo Shrimp and its spicy kick.

    shout-out to our server Nectar--she was friendly, on-point, and kept everything moving so we could make the Pageant of the Masters on time. We split the burrata salad and the lamb, which was perfectly cooked. The warm bread they brought out first didn't last long at our table! We walked in on a Sunday night without a reservation and still snagged a table, enjoyed phenomenal food, and were out the door in plenty of time for the show. Quick, delicious, and great service--can't ask for more.

    Hummus
    Michelle R.

    It's the last day for the Pageant of the Masters 2024. We got an early reservation at 6:00, so it would give us plenty of time to enjoy the food and the weather before the show. I'm surprised at some of the feedback on the yelp reviews, I thought the food was pretty good. The restaurant is located at the top of the walkway so passed all of the music goers and picnickers. You check in at the left side of the restaurant. Jennifer was wonderful and took care of us. We started off with the meatballs and hummus. They came out super fast. The cocktails.. not as fast. We decided to order our entrées, thinking it would take a while. We hadn't even started. Our appetizers went out, became our entrées, which were the shrimp and pasta, the lamb shank, and the chicken. Actually, everything was perfect, but it just came out too fast, and we end up eating our entrée before our appetizer. So we're to the wise, tell them to hold off on the entrée until you're done with the appetizer or, order them later. However, I am glad that we got our entrées early because towards the middle of the evening they ran out of food being it was the last day of the season. We ordered dessert and coffee. We probably could've skipped dessert. It was very decadent and very big, enough for three people to share. It actually was over indulging. The coffee, was terrible. Lukewarm and made by someone who is probably not a coffee drinker. It was sludge. We left the restaurant with plenty of time despair for the show, I believe it was almost 8 o'clock, and the show started at 8:30.

    Fried Calamari
    Tracy I.

    The food was delicious and service was friendly. We were there right when they opened to enjoy before the dinner rush. This was my boyfriend's first time at Festival of Arts and my first time back in over 10 years. We were sat at a table overlooking the art vendors and we were the only party for a long while. This was perfect... Until the yellowjackets and bees showed up! Things were fine when our drinks and fried calamari were brought out, but my boyfriend ordered the chicken and when that came out, so did the yellowjackets. The bee eventually gave up, but one yellowjacket, sometimes more, crashed our dinner and I felt so bad for my boyfriend. Thankfully, the yellowjacket was not interested in my delicious salmon, but to see my boyfriend uncomfortable made me uncomfortable and I wish staff was able to do more than give us a lame back-up candle that kept blowing out in the wind. Despite the quiet chaos, my boyfriend still chose to order dessert when I was willing to skip it. Of course, who came back? The uninvited winged one, constantly getting in our way of the dessert. I only managed three spoonfuls of crème brûlée for myself while my boyfriend persevered and ate the rest, all the while the yellowjacket shamelessly helping itself to a dessert buffet and spa. That was the only thing that soured the ambience for us and thankfully, we were not stung.

    Shrimp scampi
    Winnie L.

    I had low expectations before coming to dinner but apparently didn't set them low enough. I ordered the shrimp scampi as it was the most popular dish and recommended by the wait staff. I ended up waiting 45 minutes before getting my food and the rest of the table was already done eating their meal by the time I got my dish. As you can see in the picture attached, the noodles were dry (like when you have pasta sitting out too long) and the cheese was congealed indicating the dish was probably sitting around for quite awhile before it got to the table. The dish was lukewarm and the shrimp was overcooked as well. I would've sent it back but was worried it would take another 45 minutes and I would've missed the show. This was disappointing because the restaurant is advertised as fine dining. You can get better quality at Olive Garden or Macaroni Grill for half the price. The dish was $38. However, the location was excellent (though the music was a little loud) and the view was nice as the restaurant is located on the second story. This restaurant is convenient as it is located near the entrance to the Pageant of the Masters show. But if you have adequate time before the show, I would suggest going to another restaurant in the area or bring your own picnic.

    My pasta Primavera with polvo meatballs was decent enough, but kind of dry. Even the beer was dull and dry, service was kind of inept and slow, for a few diners in attendance. There were lots of empty tables, on a night when the Pageant was showing, yet the very new and green wait staff could barely keep up.

    Hanger Steak
    Asher D.

    Well, everything I experienced today debunked all of the most recent negative reviews. Wedge salad most definitely had blue cheese dressing, not green goddess (feel bad for you Dennis who got green goddess), got the check within 45 minutes of sitting and food took only 16 minutes after ordering (sorry Alan G). Regardless, people may have had bad experiences in the past, but currently this restaurant doesn't deserve 3 stars. It just doesn't. Recommend getting the meatballs and the hanger steak. Both are very worth it.

    Shrimp and pasta
    Kristen M.

    Food was ok! I had the shrimp and pasta and enjoyed my meal. Based on reviews we knew not to expect much, but the convenience of eating at the Pageant venue and the time crunch caused us to throw out wisdom and try it anyway. There were four in our party and we each ordered something different and left fed. The support staff were mildly attentive. There was live music when we arrived and the setting is lovely and, as I said, convenient, especially when driving such a distance. Not sure we will try this again. Solid 3 stars.

    I waited about 24 hours to write this review, as we were treated very poorly at this restaurant. Background: in my teens/early twenties I was a Sushi Chef, Caterer, and Server. I am very familiar with restaurant procedure, and give a lot of leeway to restaurants. With that being said, we booked our reservation at 7pm knowing we wanted to attend the Pageant of the Masters at 8:30pm. Giving ourselves a full hour and a half to dine and enjoy. Upon arrival, we noted the restaurant wasn't as busy as we thought it would be. We were sat at a 4 top (just my husband and I) which I thought was great. We looked around and noticed a lot of empty tables, and decided to take our leisurely time ordering drinks, then appetizers, and then entrees. Well, we sat for about 15-20 mins before being approached by our server. I explained I was pregnant and would prefer a mock-tail. Her immediate comment was laughter and "sure if you want to spend $10 on mint water." My husband and I looked at each other and said, yes please. We also decided to put in for appetizers as we had been sitting for a bit. The appetizers came out reasonably fast, which we thought, "Wow, very nice!" and then we realized we were served the table that was sat before us, THEIR appetizer. From there it was all down-hill. Server came back to bring drinks. Then rushed off, and didn't come back for over 30 minutes. We had to flag her down to get our entrees in as we were starting to cut it quite tight on time. We waited and waited, and nothing came out, and again no server. We finally flagged down a busboy to check on our order and we overheard the kitchen exclaim there were only tickets for dessert. They scrambled to throw our meal together and got it to us, with less then 15 mins till show time. My husband ordered a simple burger and fries to save on time, and I ordered a more elaborate seafood and pasta dish. Well, his fries were cold, soggy and extremely salty, burger was sloppily made and thrown together (no spread, dry bun, and lifeless lettuce). My seafood was cold and at the bottom of a heap of very al-dente pasta. No one came to ask how it was, and we had to get a box for my pasta (figured it might taste better once warm and re-heated), and our check from the bar, so we could quickly get to our seats. Very disappointing and overall a terrible experience!

    Panna cotta
    Eva S.

    This is the best place for dinner if you're looking to dine before Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters. Beautiful outdoor patio! The three course meal is outstanding. I ordered the Cauliflower Cacciatore and is it delicious. Also recommend the panna cotta with berries and fruit . Recommend a reservation

    The main reason to dine at Terra Laguna is for the location. We brought my mom down to see Pageant of the Masters and she has mobility issues so we know that there would be minimal walking Given this restaurant is directly inside the Pageant grounds made it an easy choice Salads were standard but probably the best part of the meal. Mr & I chose the only veggie option which was eggplant and broccolini. Both were super tough, hard to cut through & had a heavy smoky flavor. Mom had the salmon & said it was dry Desserts were unmemorable.......and they made sure to chase us away from the table after 1 hour. No questions if we wanted another drink, coffee or anything but here's the check & looking forward to the next table seating So come for location but time it well because you'll be out in plenty of time for the show

    Dried out burger

    Worst disaster in Laguna. Dried out disaster of a hamburger. Seriously I can pay $20 for a burger and fry, but please at least make an effort. Dry, dry, dry and when I bring it to their attention, they replace it with a dry, dry, dry overcooked meat patty and serve it with a crapload of attitude. Fry's were good! All their burgers are pre grilled? Means they cooked them this morning? Yuck Stay away! Manager is agro.

    Pricy but worth it once a yr. Great weather great music good to people watch. Get there early to allow enough time before the show. I recommend 6pm. Better parking at 5ish. I parked on acacia and linden and walked down. Free street neighborhood parking.

They even were able seated us at a beautiful table overlooking the ocean, where we got to enjoy an unforgettable sunset during dinner. The food was absolutely amazing. 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. It was not only beautiful to look at but also one of the most unique and delicious cocktails I've ever had. Between the incredible food, the breathtaking ocean view, and the outstanding service, this was a dining experience I'll remember for a long time. Thank you, Sal and Mariah, for making us feel so welcome and taking such great care of us. We left feeling appreciated, happy, and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!
