Laguna🏝️ Old-Money-Style Oceanview Restaurant Hidden Inside a Hotel

When visiting Laguna Beach, don’t just see the ocean—make sure to dine by the sea too! 🍴 Tucked inside Hotel Laguna, Larsen is a hidden gem with an "old-money" vibe. Open the door and you’re greeted by the sound of waves and sandy shores—total atmosphere! 🌊 The decor leans toward light American vintage—heavy wood and marble tables, floor-to-ceiling oceanview windows, white fabric sun umbrellas outside, and staff dressed in crisp, classic uniforms. Sitting by the window feels like stepping into The Great Gatsby 🥂✨ 🍸 Cocktails are clean, refined, and flavorful—not over-the-top but wonderfully balanced. Loved them! 💕 We visited for lunch—the menu is compact, so we tried some fried snacks. Kid-friendly too~ 🦞 Lobster Roll and 🐙 Octopus were solid. Food was decent overall, but the ambiance is the real star 🌟 Our waiter was super attentive—even added a little rubber duck to our cocktail! 🦆🍹 🏝️ The restaurant sits right on the sand, with a totally exclusive vibe—you can watch surfers catching waves below. After your meal, relax in Hotel Laguna’s lobby or on the terrace to keep that vacation mood going. Or take a stroll down to the beach—there’s a seaside park next door. 📍 Larsen 425 S Coast Hwy, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 (Inside Hotel Laguna) #LifeInNorthAmerica #SeasideDining #DateNightSpot #VibesDining #CaliforniaLife #CaliforniaTravel #LAEats #LagunaBeach #OceanViewRestaurant #OldMoneyAesthetic #HiddenGem
