Ordered from Door Dash last night. The food was good but.... They left cheese on salad when I requested no cheese and the not so chopped salad was supposed to have chicken on it and there was no chicken leaving that person hungry. read more

Delicious, excellent service, great atmosphere, beautiful wine selection Really close to my house...I always run into a neighbor here

Really like the food but this restaurant seemingly discriminates against families with young children. We live down the street and have tried coming multiple times only to be turned away because they have one highchair for the entire restaurant - and it's taken. In the past, the single highchair had been broken so our family was turned away. Knowing this, I called to reserve the highchair, was told I could have it, showed up, and it was given to another guest who needed it, so my family was turned away. It's honestly laughable. BYOHC if you have a family! 3 stars for being a community restaurant that doesn't cater to the families in the community read more

Found this place while searching for a decent place close to surf and sand. Got lucky and a table was available and was walking distance Service: The waiter was one of the best waiters I have ever had. Hostess was friendly as well Ambiance: it's small, and loud inside. Looking for a quiet place.. this ain't it! Food: Thought it was a-ok. One of us ordered a fried chicken sandwich special. They liked it a lot. And it was a big portion I ordered a pizza. Thought it was ok. The dough was CRYING for some salt though. Cooked properly, right amount of toppings, flavorless dough. I really don't think it had any salt at all Would I go back, absolutely. Prolly wouldn't order a pizza though read more

Unfortunately our last 3 experiences have not been good. When you find out a restaurant's go to oil is CANOLA OIL.. ITS All downhill from there. The staff lost their spirit and their is not a single nongmo/organic wine.. sorry we've moved on... read more

Today we celebrated my sons engagement. We had a total of 12 people. Service amazing . Food all came out at same time . Friendly . Good atmosphere. Reasonable prices . Food delicious. Great first experience . Will go back for sure ! Service amazing read more

Went here for a firm holiday party. The food was varied and really tasty--simple but very nicely prepared. The wines were excellent. But the best thing was the service: the proprietor and servers were friendly, helpful, attentive and really very charming, and in the challenging environment of a stand-up party where everyone was moving around. Can't wait to go back again. read more

Super cool and cozy place to grab a bite to eat and a nice drink in Laguna. I love the atmosphere for both the inside and outside seating. The selection of wines is great (lots of good ones to choose from) and the menu has lots of tasty offerings, all of which pair well with whatever drink you choose. The staff always have great suggestions if you don't know what to go with. The Margherita pizza is always a good choice, but the spaghetti and meatballs is great too. Come hungry because everything on the menu is very rich. read more

We love the Wine Gallary! Courtney was amazing! Wine was delish! Pizza was perfect! Such a great cozy date night spot!! We will be back soon! read more

This is a great local find. Great food, wine, a patio, near beach, ample parking, and service.

I'd come back but would only get wine and maybe an appetizer next time. The good: Loved our waiter he super friendly and helpful, atmosphere was great (during covid), good wine choices (obviously!), appetizers were great especially Cauliflower Polpette. Not so good: The Fungi pizza was dry, didn't have much cheese or sauce on it, and could've had more mushrooms to live up to its name. The steak was similarly lacking flavor and cooked more than expected for medium doneness, the fries were the highlight of that plate. read more

I grew up in Laguna Beach and truthfully hadn't been back as an adult in years. Well, the time finally came when I was searching for a place to take my mom out to dinner to and we came across this gem! I was skeptical since neither of my parents (who are locals) had been here, but it did not disappoint. The ambiance was awesome, and the pizzas exceeded our admittedly high LA standards. Delicious! We loved all three that we ordered. The wine selection was excellent too. We left happy and excited to go back again when the cravings for great pizza strike! You won't regret choosing to spend a Friday or Saturday night here. read more

Went to Wine Gallery for the first time for dinner tonight and loved it. Fun, lively friendly atmosphere. Chris, the owner, is friendly to everyone. And food and wine were great - excellent sausage pizza and farro salad. Excited to go back soon! read more

So my daughter and fiancé were visiting from Colorado and we decided to make the trip down to orange county to the wine gallery. The wine gallery opens at 4:30 PM which is a perfect time to start an early evening. We arrived around 4 o'clock or so and the restaurant is a stones throw from the most spectacular and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Having grown up in Southern California, my daughter was happy to be back in the sunlight and the sun rays of Southern California, and the day was perfect for it. When we returned to the restaurant a little after 430 we were seated immediately, and from the very onset, the service, the appetizers, the adult beverages, and the food were spectacular. Everything on the menu is absolutely wonderful, and to die for. We all had dessert. I had the brownie à la mode my daughter had The cookies and cream that she shared with her fiancé. One word can some up this place perfectly, amazing! read more

Stopped in town for two nights and after ordering the Funghi pizza, we are going back again for the second night. Absolutely one of the best pizzas we have ever had, and we've tried more than our fair share!! Amazing pizza! read more

The staff are friendly and make great suggestions. Although it is a wine bar, I'm a fan of booch craft - there's a nice spiced pear flavor for the holidays. Also, they make delicious pizza too. It's a lovely neighborhood spot! read more

The charcuterie was fantastic as an appetizer and then we ordered the special pizza of the day which was tomato sauce based with sausage and some red onions. Delicious! Courtney was a wonderful server who always made sure our wine glasses were full. Cozy and warm atmosphere that is definitely recommended. read more

My girlfriend and I found ourselves at the Seaside Inn the weekend of August 29. The food was absolutely amazing. Owner was nice enough to squeeze us in an already busy Friday service. We had stumbled into her restaurant wanting a glass of wine since we were parched for some delicious Pinot. My oh my.... Spend the time making a resi and let her and her staff give you a true taste of love and craft read more

We stopped by the Wine Gallery after having massages up the street at The Ranch. We were so impressed with service from the minute we walked in the door. Everyone was so nice & friendly! Courtney was our waitress and she was great! We sat upstairs on the deck and it was amazing. Truffle fries with three sauces, mushroom pizza & brownie for dessert. Great view, service & the food was so yummy! I would highly recommend it! read more

This restaurant is the absolute cutest and a perfect spot for a date night! I recommend sitting upstairs where you can see all the beautiful hills and lights in Laguna. The service was amazing and Tanya our server was outstanding and made my girlfriend & I feel so welcomed however, the food isn't that great and I had really high expectations after seeing all the great pictures of it online. We ordered the chicken wings (which were over cooked) the fish tacos, brussel sprouts, and the Jidori chicken and nothing really stood out although it wasn't terrible! Nonetheless, my girlfriend and I still had a wonderful experience and were blown away by the amazing service and beautiful location. read more

We came here one night during a quick vacation to Laguna Beach, Wine Gallery was a short walk from our stay and it did not disappoint! We started with the truffle fries with dipping sauces and they were DELICIOUS! The truffle ketchup was insanely good. We also ordered the Three Meat Pete wood fired pizza and it was cooked to perfection. The vibes of the restaurant were great, would definitely advise a spot on the patio as the ambience at night was awesome. Would highly recommend and we cannot wait to return during our next Laguna visit! read more

On a casual weeknight, I went with a few locals to Laguna Beach, and enjoyed a lovely gathering at this wine gallery on bustling PCH. The evening ambiance is warm and inviting, the walls have many shelves featuring wines from across the globe, and the wooded furniture brings a rustic sensibility. The server was genial, though the table space was tight. My friend had to grab a few bottles to pass across the table for the wait staff, which was not ideal and a bit cumbersome, dampening the mood slightly. I sampled the Cauliflower Polpette that was saucy and savory; the Four Cheese Pizza, which was scrumptious and on the thin side; and a glass of Pinot that was delectable. read more

Great pizza and meatballs. The food is all really good. We love the happy hour too. Seating outside is very nice and comfy.

Just got my second meal from here. This time I did pick up due to the recent COVID restrictions and they did not disappoint. They have some of the best pizza in town but a selection of a lot of of other great food. I especially like the veggie choices. Also happy to find they live up to their name with a well appointed wine list. They truly appreciate the business and I will definitely be back. read more

Ordered some food for the wife and I, one of the items was the $14 cheeseboard which was insanely skimpy, I mean sad for the amount. To make things worse they charged me and delivered a meat and cheese board instead that was $27. We don't eat meat. I paid an extra $13 to be grossed out and pick at 3 very small pieces of cheese. When I called right away to ask for a manager for the refund, a young girl said he wasn't there? I had to insist for a call back hoping it would be an easy fix on their end for the inconvenience. After leaving my info, the manager never even bothered to return the call. I guess they only care about money and not their locals supporting them. read more

Nice experience having some shared plates, pizza and wine. Service was excellent, wine preferences were discussed and recommendations were spot on. I had a nice glass by Chappellet winery, a bold red blend. They offer full glasses, half glasses and from 5-6 (I believe) happy hour. Happy hour is $2 off wine and some small plates are discounted. You may purchase bottles of wine to try there or to take home. For snacks we split the spicy cauliflower which was excellent but eat it quickly as it's not tasty cold. We also shared a mushroom truffle pizza and a cheese and salami plate. Both were good and the blue cheese was a standout on the cheese plate. This was two much for two people so we took most of the pizza home. The street parking can be a bear as it's on PCH. Parking behind it in a garage or on a side street may be best. Meters are until 7pm but they do take credit card. read more

Where to start with the compliments on my evening there last night, should I start with the service, the wine, or the food? The staff was great! As soon as we sat down we were immediately welcomed and over the course of the evening a few people came to check on us, and strike up a conversation. I told the bartender that I wanted to try a new kind of wine, and after explaining what I like he immediately picked one that was quite great, especially at the price point. I was very impressed. Their by the glass wine menu had a number of wines I enjoy, and they had a fair number of beers on tap for those who prefer hops over grapes. We had the Beets and Burrata dish, the Grilled Artichoke which had a really great sauce. We also split a peppers, mushroom and sausage pizza, which tasted great. If they had a meat lover's pizza we would have been all over it as we had only ordered veggies and cheese up to that point. Then we finished the night with the baked brownie a la mode. The brownie was amazingly good, and came out piping hot while still incredibly moist. The heat of the brownie was perfectly offset by how cold the ice cream was. The ambiance is slightly upscale casual, with lots of laughter in the background. The time we were there wasn't good for people who are low talkers, it was loud in a pleasant way. They also had a woman playing a guitar while singing giving the space a good vibe. Definitely a great date location, or just a place to spend time with friends while enjoying casual drinks and food. All in all we had a great evening there. read more

Second time at this cute wine bar. I like it but still waiting to love it. Solid food choices and great pizza menu. This visit I ordered the cauliflower polpette ("meatballs") to start and they were a nice creative idea (I may play around with creating my own version for my vegetarian family members) but a little charred, though still enjoyable enough. I also got the short rib tacos which were fine but not really notable. I did hear people next to me enjoying their Calabrese and Margherita pizzas, so maybe those are more noteworthy selections? Service was good but not above and beyond. For example it took the bartender more time than I would have expected to realize my glass was empty and I needed a refill- considering I was sitting at the bar. However I did get my food quickly and the place was fairly full, though not packed. Overall, not a bad choice and I may come back a third time and perhaps try a pizza :) Solid option in this part of Laguna Beach read more

Food here was incredible!! Especially for the price. Would absolutely come back. It's pretty small so I can see how it could quickly become crowded. The service was also great! read more

Had the most amazing meal last night! Our server, who was very nice and helpful suggested the gnocchi. It was a St Patrick's special. Very very creative with a brown butter gnocchi, small spring vegetables a fantastic sauce topped with melt in your mouth slices of corn beef. One of the best dishes I've ever had in the area. We also had the cauliflower polpette, crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We always order these as they're one of our favorite items on the menu. We sat on the back patio and it was nice and warm. Our sever was a great guy, friendly, knowledgeable and get service. Can't wait to return! read more

This was an enjoyable place to visit for a date night. It is small and intimate and the vibe is trendy. We went during happy hour so it was a great value. The service was very friendly and attentive. We tried the frites and they were the best fries my husband and I have had. The meatballs were also really flavorful and I appreciated that they had gluten free pizza crusts. The homemade vanilla ice cream was also delicious! Would highly recommend and return here again! read more

Disappointed. Pizza not as good as the pictures. Hand sanitizer on the table had a weird smell. Salad ordinary. Parking a pain. Nice people though. read more

Great for a date or double date! Excellent little bites and pizzas to share and there is wine for every palette. Owner and servers are super nice and course out dishes and let you take your time! Highly recommend the mushrooms over polenta, persimmon salad, and the fungi pizza! read more

It's 7 PM. The babysitter has the popcorn popped and little Braxton is tired. It's time for that special night out with your partner. We arrive at 8:10. The reservation was at 8:00. Your partner complains about your always being to late to things, but the hostess doesn't care about your tardiness. We sit down, and I am ready for some libations. Might as well indulge in a few wines. Wine not! She orders a chard. It's got a bit of sourness, but is so refreshing after a day of backbreaking parenting. I order the Malbec. Notes of cranberry and chocolate hit my tongue, and for a moment I forget about Gerald's promotion. We decide to split an appetizer of bruschetta with fig jam and goat cheese. My God, what a treat! It felt like we had stumbled into a trattoria in rural Tuscany. Next came the star of the show: the pizza, a bianca pizza with a lemon, garlic and arugula. It was enjoyable; however, as someone who has tried thousands of pizzas, I found the dough pleasurable, yet ultimately not in the ranks of some of my pepperoni memories. PS. a real lovely ambiance. read more

Cozy, contemporary, classy, cool. This is the spot to sample and enjoy some of the best high end wines by the glass. The proprietor is friendly and knowledgeable. Live acoustic guitar and a vibrant social atmosphere. Warm classy ambiance. The pizzas are diverse are divine. I would be here regularly. read more

What a fantastic place, my boyfriend surprised me with a bottle of wine and a visit to Wine Gallery. Beautiful place with excellent service!!! read more

Every time we come to Laguna Beach visiting the Wine Gallery is a must. Last time we were here was over a year ago, the place is cozy as always, the service fantastic (shout out for Sammy for being so attentive and caring) and the food delicious. My hubby and I ordered pizza - I had the Margherita he had the pizza of the day with meatballs, peppers, mushroom, mozzarella and tomato. My philosophy being Italian is that if a place makes proper pizza, you will know by trying the simplest pizza they offer. Well here the Margherita was light and delicious, thin and with crispy crust, good job!!we also had a carafe of Cabernet which is about 2 glasses of wine, one each. The only thing I was not crazy about was the brownies, way too sweet for me. Until next time wine gallery keep it up! read more
