Q Terrace Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Laguna Beach

I was really looking forward to trying this new restaurant, especially after reading so many excellent reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was completely different.

The restaurant, which has only been open for two months, seems to be having some issues. Even though there were only a few tables seated, the wait for both drinks and food was incredibly long. To make matters worse, several items were out of stock, including basic mineral water. The AC also didn't seem to be working, and with the doors open, it was uncomfortably hot inside.

My brother got the ribeye and it was also incredibly tender! My mom got the French bouliabaise, she liked it but the calamari was chewy & it was a bit spicy for her. But ahe still enjoyed it!

All the staff was great. Definitely give this...

We were excited to try this place, especially since they said drinks were free for the opening. But then they changed it and said only the second drink was free, which was a little confusing. When we sat down, no one offered us water, and it took quite a while for someone to take our order. The food wasn’t great — the clams were really dry and we had to send them back, and the first bread was good but the second was hard and not fresh. They also gave me a dirty napkin, which was disappointing.

On the good side, the atmosphere was nice and the view was beautiful. At the end, the owner came over and listened to our concerns, which...
