My boyfriend and I had dinner here on our anniversary for the first time and everything from the food to the service to the ambiance of the entire place was wonderful!! We work in the industry and definitely know good food when we see it. We could not have picked a better spot to celebrate. First off we were greeted by the General Manager himself who was very gracious and led us to our seats. We started with their version of a shrimp cocktail. The presentation was impressive to say the least. Four shrimp stacked atop a battered and fried yellow heirloom tomato with a spicy mayo sauce. For our entrees, I had the pan-fried artic char which was perfectly seasoned; with a chorizo pancake filled with onions, potatoes, and bell peppers, a roasted red pepper coulis, and some kind of green sauce. My boyfriend had the lamb osso bucco with the mascarpone risotto which was delicious. I was surprised by the risotto the most, seeing as how the mascarpone cheese wasnt too overwhelming in taste, but instead added to the creaminess of the risotto. We asked our waiter to recommend a wine for each of our entrees and it seemed that he was very knowledgeable about the wine list because the wine we each had went perfectly well with our food. For dessert, there were only 2 options which was a bit disappointing. However, we chose the peach cobbler with the peach gelato. The cobbler was waaay too hot to eat once it arrived at our table, and I found it a bit too sweet, but my boyfriend enjoyed it. In addition to the great food, there was live music. The service was smooth and quick and aside from the couple bickering behind us, we had a great time. Total bill was $100 which to us was priceless for the great food. We left feeling satisfied and not as if we had overeaten.

5.0 star rating 12/30/2016 Hello Yelper, HAPpPY NEW YEAR to Everyone. This review actually starts on Wednesday night last. I suggested to Rey we try a little place we have passed hundreds of times. Located on a corner and easy access parking we strolled inside. Very nice and relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Prices were not what we expected and the food was delicious. On Wed Rey had the Salmon, mashed potatoes, n veggies. Her words were this is very good. I had the Cobb salad with a side of fried, both excellent and very fresh ingredients. Desert we had the spiced pumpkin ice cream. Wow that was awesome ice cream. Cost was under $50. We started off w ice tea and fried pickles. Very good. Today Rey had the OV burger w everything, fries. I had the BBQ burger w fries. Both burgers were cooked just as ordered. Fried hot n fresh. We both highly recommend the Ocean View Bar n Grill. They now have weekend breakfast so we will try that next. Photo of OceanView Bar & Grill - Laguna Beach, CA, United States Photo of OceanView Bar & Grill - Laguna Beach, CA, United States.

We showed up with a party of 6 at 7pm on a Thursday and requested patio seating since we had a small Pomeranian with us. It was really windy out and the lady said shed be right with us. We were waiting out on the patio area for servers minutes discussing if we would rather go someplace else. The lady never came out to put tables together or bus the tables that were dirty. We finally asked if we could just sit inside someplace which of course because of the dog they said no which we understood but meanwhile were still waiting to be seated. At this Point thinking if it takes this long to be seated then eating here is probably not going to love much faster. She was the only server on that night. Clearly not effective on a Thursday night. Not too motivate to keep our business we left and luckily found someplace so awesome. Im so happy we left thats why the 2 stars otherwise would be zero.

Wanted a quick bite for lunch and Ive seen this place for awhile and decided to give it a try. The place was nice n clean, but the service was slow. Doni our server was kinda running the show all by herself so. Ill give her the benifit and kudos for effort under pressure. The menu has a good variety for lunch but not really extensive. The coffee was EXCELLENT, but no milk alternatives like soy or almond... umm hello this is LA in 2015!? Ok so the food cane, tuna melt. It was HUGE and had an amazing little salad along tbe side. Food was yummy and Doni checked in often. If the service was a bit faster, Id have given this a 5th star. Not servers fault since she was the doing all the seating and serving. Cant wait to try the breakfast.

We love the bistro - I recommend the Salmon with corn and peas and potatoes beaujolais! each of the preparations is delightful - but the combination of flavors in concert is beyond description [on the GOOD side]. My family and I love many of the items on the menu, and always enjoy one of the very very best alfresco (outside, fresh air) dining experiences. The food is not cheap - nor is it astronomical in pricing. We were surprised to find this quality of prepared food in Montrose and are now in a long-term relationship : ) with the place and its staff, chef, food and location.

Google....someone is lying to me!!! I bought a Groupon for 4 entrees and 2 apps for lunch or dinner (for $89 Exp. 11/17). We went out last night to watch some of the game and headed over for a nice night on the patio, only to find out they were CLOSED on Mondays! You told me they were open from 8 am - 9pm! Now, Im out $89 and they dont seem to care. They pretty much said they had no answer and "too bad so sad for you, lady." I am freakin livid!!! I almost feel like someone stole my purse!!!

This attractive restaurant provides upscale, tasty food and attentive service for a reasonable price. Our two entrees were filet mignon and salmon and both were delicious. My husband and I each ordered a cocktail, split a Caesar salad and finished our meal with coffee and were pleased when the final bill, before gratuity, was just under $80. I would give 5 stars except that their reservation system needs work. But, even if you have trouble making a reservation, just go--you wont regret it.
