There are tacos, and then there are tacos. My wife and I had tacos up and down the West Coast from Seattle all the way down to San Diego. And, Oak’s chef definitely created mouth-watering tacos that solidified a spot as one of my top 3 places anywhere (try specifically the shrimp & octopus). The tacos are big, but have tremendous flavor. Drinks were also extremely good, and a must (Dee o Double Gee). Can’t wait to come back!!!
A foodie paradise! Upscale culinary masterpiece. Master mixologists create cocktails to please even the most discriminating patron. The filet was melt in your mouth perfection. Sea Bass moist and full of flavor. Chopped salad that was unique and full of yummy goodness . And the ceviche? Loved the won ton chips and lightness. There's a reason it's Laguna's NEW hot spot. Breathtaking views and an open casualness is so welcoming. Chef Chris Tzorin has a winning menu/concept. Can't wait to go back!
Amazing experience. Large party for birthday brunch. Rosemary went out of her way to make everyone happy, Kerry was the best server I have ever had and food was delicious. Would highly recommend.
Popped in for lunch after hearing great things!
Hubs and I split a small plate starter of meatballs with marinara, melted cheese and strips of toasted ciabatta.
Brilliant.
Entree a Thai chicken salad with delightful flavor and huge cashews. It was filled with lots veggie delights.
Hubs had octopus tacos that he loved.
Beautiful and carefully thought out redo of space. Enormous bar and two large screen TVs.
Also have Sunday Brunch!

Took clients there last night and we all had a great time! Cool vibe, really friendly staff, all my favorite wines and amazing food! The lemon pistachio cake was one of the best desserts I have tasted in a long time.
Our dinner at Oak was so good! Our waiter was amazing, the food was great (pistachio crusted halibut perfectly done) the atmosphere was beautiful. We had creme brûlée and donuts for dessert. A very special night with good friends.
Nice place to eat great food service ambiance entertainment. Pricy but worth it
Can't rave enough! The food is innovative and delicious, drinks are divine and the transformation of this space is unbelievable! My kids both have adamantly decided that Oak is "my new favorite restaurant". I agree! Just what this town needed.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere, hip and not pretentious, and last but not least, excellent prices.
A great place to watch NFL games too.
Go Steelers!!!
April was our server and she was wonderful! We had Meatballs, Tomato soup with grilled cheese bites and the chicken sandwich all were so delicious. We used to go to sky loft but this will be our new lunch spot.
Excellent new restaurant! This place fires on all cylinders: great food, great atmosphere, great service and great location.
Nice atmosphere great food friendly staff. Would recommend octopus tacos

Absolutely amazing. Where to begin? We ate here twice in 24 hours. Mac and cheese. Meatballs. Duck. Fried chicken sandwich. Brunch croissant. Tomatoe soup. It's all so delicious. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable. Would drive from FL for this food!
Very great hip, fresh vibe... food is top quality and drinks are unique.. well priced.
This review should be a bit higher than a four; like maybe a 4.5. Not rounding up because it's not five-stars for me. The food and cocktails are good, and with open walls on the upstairs location, there's a nice ocean view. Bad news, of course is the ambient noise from busy car traffic.
For a non-Italian place, the Chicken Parm isn't bad. Crispy chicken sandwich and fries are very good, as are the shrimp tacos. I'd also recommend the Farmer's Market Stir Fired, especially if you top it with some protein.
Good for dates, good for families. Make a reservation and give it a go.
The bartender Kendra made the evening delightful and the food was amazing. Cannot wait to return and try items on the dinner menu. Definitely go and enjoy the sunset and wonderful libations created by Kendra
We have been here a few times and enjoy being there. Dylan, our server was really nice. The food was good. The drinks were wonderful. The view is nice. It's always a good time in Laguna Beach.
We had a wonderful experience at Oak! We sat on the patio which overlooks the street. The drinks, food and service was great, the drinks and food came out quickly. I had the chicken sandwich- definitely recommend it.
Excellent happy hour. Had calamari, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, meatballs and bar burger. Delicious. Had the Lagunarita to drink and breoakie for dessert……. So yummy. Super friendly waiter Javier
First stop driving into Laguna Beach from Phoenix Love the idea you you dispense the wines you want to taste. They make and store the wine on premises. The gal working was very knowledgeable about the wines and friendly
love this place! found it four years ago and came back to find it was just as good as I remembered even after Covid. great quality food—- if you are going to eat out and spend— it better be worth your money- and this place is!
highly recommend their wagyu burger and brussel sprouts are on point here!!
Loved the Decor and ambience and the food was delicious. It was a little bit noisy with all the hard surfaces everywhere but everyone in the restaurant was having a great time and of course the noise level rises with that. I took a client there for a celebration dinner for the purchase of her new home and she had chosen Oak on the review from a friend of hers of the sea bass. Her friend tries bass at local restaurants and says Oak is the best. She and her son ordered the Seabass and absolutely loved it. The salmon and clam chowder were delicious and the fries we ordered as a side were great with the different sauces too.
Came here for my birthday and had THE most amazing experience. Their staff is excellent — they made it so special — especially Brian who is just incredible!!! The food is incredible as are the drinks; we LOVED the chilaquiles, burger, and chicken & waffles. The watermelon and spicy pepper drinks were amazing. They made my birthday so great!!!! Thank you!
If I could give OAK 10 stars, I would!! Wow wow wowww. Everything was bursting with incredible flavors. From cocktails, to the main course, to dessert! Seriously the best. And the staff — everyone was SO SWEET! If you are in Laguna and don’t check out this gem, you my friend are missing out. Love this place and we will for sure be back. 🤩🎉
