In the heart of downtown Laguna Beach, this happening bistro is upbeat and chic, with a popular outside patio, beautifully prepared food and a plethora of exotic martinis to please sophisticated palates.

Seafood rules here; the hazelnut-crusted Alaskan halibut is a work of art. A magnificent Pacific Northwest cioppino is chock-full of lobster, Asian freshwater prawns, Manila clams, New Zealand greenlip mussels, oysters, calamari and fish in a rich seafood and shellfish stock.
