Driftwood Kitchen Laguna Beach Reviews from The Last Year
This place is right on the coast and has a stunning
This place is right on the coast and has a stunning Oceanside patio with gorgeous beach views, which made it the perfect place to celebrate my friend's birthday. The cocktails were delicious and the food was also very tasty. Our server, Adrian, was fantastic. He was super attentive, knew his stuff, and was super friendly. He gave us great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed, all with a big smile. Adrian's awesome service made our visit even better, and we felt taken care of.

The food is excellent and you can't beat the view! Staff is friendly! We will be back!
Gorgeous view and delicious food.
Perfect for date night, after dinner you can walk down the stairs and be at the beach in seconds after a few cocktails or wine. Service was great, valet was a huge plus considering parking in laguna can be a hassle sometimes
Great view, delishes food.
Highly recommend. You won't be sorry. Valet parking makes it easy.
What a cute little restaurant with a spacious deck and
What a cute little restaurant with a spacious deck and courtyard as well as a rustic wooden naval feel Bar and fireplace setting in this two story "home." Walking into the entrance make sure you go to the far right instead of straight down the deck ( a different restaurant). The entrance takes you a little galley and can see the traditional feel of a bar setting place right in the middle where you can see the ocean waves. We were created by the host and walked us to our sitting inside the patio. The spacious whiteness of the paint made the room much bigger. We were here for the Mother's Day AYCE and was quite pleased of the food. The smoke salmon omelet and the unlimited seared prime rib were the ones for me to devour first. The French toast sticks and pancakes were super filling. Love the salad mix. Sandwich was a bit filling but enjoyed the rest of the meal. I was expecting a bigger room for AYCE and glad we came earlier since the line started to backup by 11:30am on Sunday. Mom got her one glass of Prosecco and plenty of sodas for all of us. Dessert was a bit bland and didn't get to taste the carrot cake and instead had the red velvet. I didn't know that there was a photo of Jason Momoa right by the entrance. The fireplace was definitely a center of the facility, which makes you want to have a cocktail. Parking was definitely limited and valet was an option note it is $16 for parking for two hours and eight dollars afterwards $65 for the whole day. I would recommend parking on the street if you can find any. Overall grand experience which my mother enjoyed. The service was very attentive and the hosts made sure that we were enjoying the meal. Will come back for regular meals and cocktails the next time I am down.
We've been here several times and was never disappointed.
We were seated outside in the corner which was great. Food was excellent and service was also great. The sunset added to a nice evening.
Great food and service! the view of this place is beautiful
Great food and service! the view of this place is beautiful and clean. The manager was very nice!
We had top tier service and great suggestions by our server
We had top tier service and great suggestions by our server Matt! We loved the marine lobster flautas and the hiramasa crudo. Our favorite plate had to be the Chilean Sea Bass. The cocktails were also great, the black pearl was my favorite. Can't beat the stunning views, great food and see
The location is tucked in and you won't recognize unless
The location is tucked in and you won't recognize unless you know it. But this is great place to hang out with great beachside view. We went there around 6 pm and were able to catch the sunset. Beautiful view. Foods and drinks are great as well.
I wish we could half star ratings.
I would give this request a solid 3.5. The service was great. We had an amazing seat outside on the patio. It wasn't busy. The food was great- not the best we've ever had and definitely not the worst. Nothing to return for. The parking was outrageously expensive. We enjoyed the dessert- a toffee cake. Overall 5 stars for the view, 3 for everything else.
The ambiance at Driftwood Kitchen is perfect! Everyone is
The ambiance at Driftwood Kitchen is perfect! Everyone is friendly...and I felt like they tried hard to fit us in, even though it was busy and we didn't have a reservation. And most importantly, the food was beautiful.
Service was the best you could have, Bianca was great!!!
Service was the best you could have, Bianca was great!!! Food not so great but I heard the main chef was not there, the burgers were frozen patties , several of us had them and they were either over cooked or undercooked, was not a good day for burgers there, restaurant was nice with amazing view
在我看來, 活在當下就是,
在我看來, 活在當下就是, 當我們在未知中不斷前進時,不徬徨,不動搖,專注的,正確的做好現在最重要的事~ OC 附近可以看海景的餐廳, yelp 看來看去都是那幾家, 這家 The Deck & Drift , 應該很多會啪啪走的吃貨們都來吃過了, 很有名的海景餐廳,本來我是要來吃午餐的,朋友一直吵要早點來,結果來的太早,還要一個小時才會開,就只能到隔壁這吃早餐, 反正是關係企業, 就在隔壁, 來試試也無妨, 在 Laguna Beach 餐廳最值錢的就是緊臨著海灘, 吃飯配一望無垠的海景, 生蠔, 殼殼湯, mussel , 跟章魚腳都很不錯, 就是那個龍蝦Hash , 作法不是我喜歡的,這裡有兩家餐廳, 一個早午餐, 一個晚點開, 吃午餐跟晚餐, 有代客停車,停車是方便的
I give both the stars to the amazing view.
The food.....well, not so good. The Service was just fine, started off slow but then the server was attentive. I think this place can get away with the mediocre food because the location is so incredible. Very disappointed in the quality of ingredients and bland flavors. Also the dining chairs and tables are equivalent to just that....a Diner. Not something you'd expect for the prices. I really wanted to like it, but it was a one and done for me.
We went for a celebratory dinner for a birthday and while
We went for a celebratory dinner for a birthday and while the food was delicious and the view was amazing, the service we received pretty much ruined the evening. From the beginning, we kept getting an apology for the delay. Delay in taking our order, delay in bringing out the drinks and food. The worst part though was when we asked for the check. It took nearly 30 minutes for our server to bring us the check, and only after my mother went to track him down to ask for it, after we had already asked for it at the table. We had sat outside for the view, but as the night went on, it understandably got very cold. While waiting, we could see our server on the other side of the glass, focused on another table, and did not look at us even though we were trying to get his attention. When he finally brought the check, he apologized, but used the excuse of the other table having issues.
Beautiful spot in Laguna.
Super relaxing brunch spot! I recommend parking a few blocks away and walking. Valet is almost as much as a meal! There are so many cute photo spots too. Just very airy and relaxing! Standard brunch selection! Loved my eggs and toast but mostly came for the view!
Been here twice, once for their Valentine's Day dinner and
Been here twice, once for their Valentine's Day dinner and then again for Sunday brunch. Both times we enjoyed ourselves, food was delicious, and libations were on point.
I made the reservation at 6:45pm but still wait for extra
I made the reservation at 6:45pm but still wait for extra 45 mins to get out seats at 7:30pm. The waitress showed me iPad and said they didn't have any table. I saw so many tables are "walk in" guests. My concern is, if you didn't reserve the table to whom make the reservation. What's the meaning that you use opentable? Our kids are tired and hungry. We stand 45 mins in the restaurant with reservation. This is totally unacceptable! High recommended the restaurant owner or manger fire the waitress who is in charge of table seating in dinner time! She gave our table to walk in customers and said we are late. She is a liar!
Rich and creamy Lobster Carbonara! The lobster flautas .
..yes! Service was near perfect.
Fantastic brunch/ lunch spot with great views.
Came back recently to try their seafood dishes and it did not disappoint! Everything was fresh and came out at a fairly decent time. Their espresso martinis were delicious and made strong. As for rsvps it was super easy to make through open table. There's limited patio seating, which is first come basis, and additional seating indoors
Warning! 20% service charge/tip included in the bill!!!
We dropped over $400 for dinner, only to get hit with a weird surprise. When we asked for the bill, the server handed us the signed receipt without breaking down the orders. we went ahead and signed it with a 20% tip. Then we realized we hadn’t seen the breakdown yet, So we asked for it. Turns out, they sneaked in a 20% service charge without mentioning it. Leaving us a double charged tip. When we questioned the server, he played innocent, asking if we added an extra tip. Wtf?! It felt really shady!! Thankfully, we caught it, and he brought a new bill with the tip taken off. This whole thing was like eating a fly – a total buzzkill that ruined our night. It's disappointing to see a supposedly classy joint pulling these tricks. Will never come back again!
Thanksgiving Day Delight!
We had our Thanksgiving Dinner at Driftwood and what a wonderful time we had! I did a lot of research to find a place that had both traditional Thanksgiving food and seafood. The menu at Driftwood met all of that and more! From King Salmon and Scallops to Prime Rib and Turkey. Stuffing and Cranberry to Steamed Veggies and an incredible Fall Roasted Vegetable Salad. Appetizers were Mussels and Oysters to Cheese and Charcuterie. Homemade Cookies and Pies and Cappuccinos, and a full bar. I stuck to the seafood and it was amazing! Oh, then there is the view of the ocean. But even with all that, great service is what really matters and they did not disappoint. James helped us and he was fantastic! Such a great personality and customer service. It was such a wonderful experience. Next time I go home to visit, the Driftwood will be at the top of my list!
Not great
Really disappointing supper with my family. Great location but stark atmosphere, food very stodgy and over cooked, especially the lobster. I asked for the children to have pasta with their chicken instead of fries, unable to accommodate this, had to order an extra pasta dish alongside unnecessary mountains of fries… Would not recommend.
Great anniversary dinner
Had an early reservation on a Wednesday night, we arrived right at 5:30 and the place was nearly empty (still so when we left at 7ish). Offered a table on the deck (bright sun) or inside, we took the deck table with a perfect view of the ocean and beach. Service was friendly and efficient. We got lots of advice from the waiter including a "I wouldn't" on one item, which is always nice to hear. We shared a large portion of grilled octopus. Maybe not as smoky as we are used to but really good and cooked perfectly. Came with fingerling potatoes and some great chorizo. She had the excellent salmon and I really enjoyed my carbonara with lobster. It was an occasion and they brought us a nice piece of their sticky toffee cake with whipped cream and caramel sauce. This place is pricey, our entrees were among the lower cost and still were over $40 each. Other options get into the $60s, so be prepared.
Lovely bouillabaisse.
I am writing this review for the excellent food, I had the best bouillabaisse seafood soup you can ever have. And great garlic bread to complement it. The view is amazing and the service was very good. If you go enjoy the foos and expect it to be pricey. The valet like any where else in California is over 20 dollars.
Beautiful location but disappointing
Beautiful location but disappointing food. The octopus was tough, literally as old boots. The burrata salad was limp with hard peaches and where was the aged balsamic? 26$ do me a favour!! As usual we left the 20% ubiquitous tip. I fail to understand the system in America. The service on this occasion was excellent but the kitchen has let them down. So who do you penalise by not leaving a tip?? No chance I will be going back….

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
