My wife's French onion soup was perfect as was the French Bread. My daughter's Seafood Fettuccine lacked a little in the seafood category, but the sauce was delicious. My lobster was extremely small portion and the mashed potatoes were a barely soft solid ball of brownish gray and not hot. The vegetables were undercooked and barely warm. My wife asked for a glass of plain hot water and it was served in an obviously dirty brown stained coffee glass mug. The desserts were to die for and we loved the patio seating were we watched the sunset over the Pacific Ocean with the exception that it overlooked the stand alone tam-shaped public restroom. Prices were reasonable and would have been totally appropriate had the food been better prepared. Minus the dirty glass the service was very good, although are waiter did not introduce himself but otherwise very friendly. We did order from their bakery counter on a way out and it was delicious for breakfast the next morning.

"Charmant" French restaurant in Laguna Beach, CA. The restaurant was not too crowded, and the food was very good. Service was a bit slow but we actually enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

This is not a bad review, they just need a little improvement I was so looking forward to eating here and it was good, I think it's just another time where a Restaurant is busy the location is amazing with views of the ocean, so they know people are lining up and they've just lost that customer care to get five stars. The atmosphere is pleasant and the ocean view patio made dining very relaxing. The food we ordered was very good, flavorful, and had a good presentation. The service was okay, could have been better.

To be honest, based on other reviews I had fairly high expectations when I reserved this restaurant for my sister’s birthday. Unfortunately it does seem like you’re just here for the view. Our salmon and pork chop were both very dry. The bread is quite good though!

What is the parking situation? is there a parking near there to stay all day?

It's a couple of blocks but the cheapest all day parking is Lot 12 off of Forrest. It's only $4. There are other private lots that are a little closer but charge around $15.
