Celebrated Mother's Day brunch at Oak Laguna Beach and overall had a nice experience. We made a 10 AM reservation through OpenTable and were seated right away, which was appreciated on such a busy holiday morning. The staff was very friendly and welcoming throughout our visit, and the patio seating offered beautiful views. We tried the Eggs Benedict, chilaquiles, breakfast skillet, Italian chopped salad, and the French fries appetizer. While everything was good, the food itself felt fairly basic considering flavor and serving size. Service was a bit slow when it came to receiving both our food and the bill, although it definitely started getting much busier around 10:30-11 AM because of the holiday crowd, so that likely played a role. One thoughtful touch was the complimentary heart-shaped chocolate dessert they gave moms for Mother's Day, such a sweet gesture. All in all, we're glad we gave it a try, but will probably explore some other nearby brunch spots next time we're in Laguna Beach. read more
