    We go to SON's a couple times of year as it is one of our favorite restaurants, but we live over an hour away. We always have an enjoyable experience when we dine there. The food, drinks, and service as always amazing and we wish we could make it down more often. Our server that day was Izzy and she was so kind and attentive to my mom and I. She was able to make food and drink recommendations and made our dining experience even better. We can't wait to return.

    I can’t say enough about our experiences at Nicks Laguna Beach. The service you receive is unsurpassed. My daughter has an allergy to nuts and the staff made her feel completely relaxed and safe without making her feel high maintenance. We even were able to order the most delicious dessert - which never is a possibility in other places. To top it all off the food is amazing! Thank you for a great night with my family!
