Vue Restaurant

Forward Thinking Californian Cuisine, Sea and Be Scene

  • Ocean Front Dining
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Located in the Marriott Resort

The VUE Restaurant at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa (located on the ground floor) offers an intimate setting that provides a sanctuary from a busy ligestyle for transient, leisure and group customers. It's renewed spirit to provide a high level of service, coupled, with an ocean bluff bluff location with convenient beach and harbor access, is the perfect setting for a warm, relaxed and friendly resort experience. The contemporary cuisine is inspired by its location, incorporating, distinctly Californinan styles with coast's obvious strength: Seafood. Interior designs include black granite tables with maple and leather chairs. A fire pit on the patio adds to the ambiance of your dining experience. The talents of VUE's culinary team, led by General Manager Brian Collins, is already well known throughout Orange County.

Editorial Review for Vue Restaurant – by Alison Kramer

In Short
Perched atop a towering bluff above Dana Point, this elegant eatery is the premier product of a $1.5 million renovation from its affiliate, the Laguna Cliffs Resort and Spa. Bamboo flooring glides beneath leather chairs and black granite tables, where diners can cuddle near the anchored fire place or behind ornate French windows framing sweeping coastal views. A distinctly Californian menu offers dishes like seared diver scallops in saffron broth, Kobe-style braised short ribs, and lamb chops with grilled scallops and tomato jam.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

The cellar offers a comprehensive list of boutique labels, but many opt for specialty martinis like pomegranate and espresso.

Where to Sit

The outdoor stone-floor patio offers some of the best seats in the house. Relax around the cozy firepit on cool, breezy evenings.

I went to Laguna Cliffs Marriott in Dana point to a cocktail with my former wife during sunset time. When we got there were were no seat available in the lounge so,... what to do!!! we saw the sigh of the VUE restaurant and we decide to check it out. We were greated by the hostess who asked us if we wanted to have dinner on the Patio (Beautifull). We decided to stay at the bar since the restaturant look a little busy (of corse... with the sunset!!) . Thus we staied at the bar and i have to say it was a fun evening. Their bartender is a fun, professional fellow and made us excellent Mai Tai.. We had Beef Sate, Saffron shrimp and a large califonia artisan cheese plate appetizer and they were unbelievably Good. Next time I'll take my girlfriend for dinner because I was amazed by the quality of the food and friendliness of the bartender. I highly recommend the VUE Bar for their cocktails and appetizer and for the Bartender (Mike)

Pros: made me feel very comfortable

Cons: The Lounge was BUSY

I stayed in the Laguna Cliffs Marriott hotel with my wife, celebrating our anniversary. We decided to go for dinner in Laguna Beach but when I asked the concierge for raccomandations she pointed out the VUE Restaurant. I have to say it was the best meal and service we ever recieved. The hostess was able to welcome us as we were walking down the stairs and whishing us happy anniversary right there(WOW!!!!!!!!!) The server was very attentive and reccomended us a great wine (Trimbac Riesling, From France)with our meal (Wild Fiji Ahi Salad and Pan Seared Chilean Seabass). She also took the lable off the bottle and gave to us with a nice card wishing us an happy anniversary day!!! One surprise after an other. I definatly reccomand the VUE restaurant to anyone!!!!! I WAS ABLE TO IMPRESS MY WIFE ONE MORE TIME.

Pros: Service, Quality of food, They also had a Private Function in the Private Dining room which was good for the laud group in there!!!!

Cons: It was raining.
