🌴 Las Brisas | This Restaurant is Absolutely Breathtaking

Walking into Las Brisas, you can’t help but be swept away by that instant vacation vibe 🌊✨. With the ocean breeze gently blowing, the sunset glowing right outside the window, the retro-chic dining space, and that famous heart-shaped palm tree softly lit in the background—it’s California dreaming at its finest. And the view doesn’t end when dinner does. Step outside afterward, and you’ll find yourself pausing, mesmerized by the quiet conversation between the palm trees and the night sky. 🌙🌴 Now, about the food—let’s just say it almost lives up to the views. (Read carefully, not everything here is a must-order! 🧐) 🍖 BBQ Pork Spareribs – Think Mexican-style grilled ribs, with a flavor profile really similar to Wiener Schnitzel. Interesting twist! 🦪 Oysters – Okay, but not the freshest. If you’ve had them at RAYA or Splashes, temper your expectations. 🫔 Chicken Flautas – Basically felt like Chinese spring rolls served with guacamole. Surprisingly not bad! 🥩 Filet – 8oz, a tad small, but cooked perfectly to medium. 🍛 Seafood Risotto – Creamy, fragrant, and seriously satisfying. 🥵 Barbacoa Short Rib – Not recommended. Way too salty 😣 🐟 Scottish Salmon – I wanted cod, but the server really pushed the salmon. It was… fine. If you’re looking for an Orange County oceanfront restaurant where every shot is Instagram-ready 📸, Las Brisas is totally worth it. Great for birthdays or friend gatherings—but for business dinners, I’d still recommend Raya. 💡 Pro tip: Make a reservation and note if you’re celebrating something—you might just score a window seat! 📍 361 Cliff Dr, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 🐶 Patio is dog-friendly (but call ahead to confirm!). It’s also the best spot for sunset views. Don’t worry about the chill—they’ve got heaters. #OCEats #LagunaBeach #LasBrisas #OceanViewDining #CaliforniaLife #SunsetDinner
