I was ready to buy one of the mobile homes on the road into this place, that's how much we loved this most PERFECT slice of California. Scenery- STUNNING! Clientele- beautiful! FOOD- FRESH, simple, fantastic. Service- Friendly, efficient but never rushed. If you're upset because you're waiting in an atmosphere this gorgeous, this relaxing, this perfect, then you don't need... more

I am going somewhat against my own instinct as I am quite happy to not have hordes of impatient tourists jamming this wonderful spot and demanding instant service. However.....why would you go to kick back at the beach and then complain that you had to, gasp, wait? This a lovely, laid back spot to get something to eat and sit... more

Hi beach cafe lovers, If you are like me, desiring to sit at a thatch-roofed table, overlooking the ocean, with your bare feet free to dig in the sand beneath your table, then the Paradise Cafe does look like, well, Paradise. Which is what led me back there for the 2nd visit in a year for an early morning breakfast... more

We drove doen from Laguna Beach and had some time to kill before our Getty Villa reservation and needed lunch. We had no reservation, but were advised it would be 20 minutes or so for a table. We were seated at 30 minutes. Loud, loud, loud. We could not converse. After a considerable wait we were given menus. Prices ranges... more

Even with a reservation we had to wait two hours for our table!!!. The service was terrible. I would never tell anybody to go here. There are plenty of other restaurants that would appreciate your business and treat you much better. Just a tourist trap. Don't waste your time or money!!!! more

I had lunch here while visiting my friend in los angeles. It was a beautiful drive, and the lunch was just as great! We were taken right to a table on the beach and got to eat with our feet in the sand. The service was surprisingly slow seeing as the place was not too crowded, but it was lunch... more

We just happened to turn at the right place off of Hwy 1 and this was the place that we ended up at. This was a great place to stop and have a bite to eat. The food was great and the portions were huge.I had the Big Kahuna nachos the name itself will tell you how big it is.... more

The Beach Restaurant at Paradise Cove was one of my favorite places during my trip in April 2008. I loved the relaxed atmosphere. I just went there to sit out on in the sun, I didn't have to eat or drink anything, but of cause I did. The beach wasn't too crowed, the waiters were nice and helpful and the... more

My friend from Riverside drove us to lunch at this old, traditional, beach restaurant with superb "fish and chips", guacamole, and salads... not a lot of choices for a vegetarian, but he had a good salad... the portions are huge, enough for 2-3 people... the ambiance is great, it is noisy and busy but a fun vibe, with great photos... more
