Editorial Review for Las Brisas – by Leigh Niles Reason
In Short
Perched atop the cliffs of Laguna Beach, the patio, indoor bar and window-adjacent tables offer glorious ocean views. The decor is slightly outdated, but patrons come for the sunsets, food and margaritas. The menu spotlights seafood with Mexican flair, like lightly breaded red snapper with Veracruz sauce, charred rare ahi and seafood enchiladas. Sunday brunch runs the gamut, from omelets to lobster salad.

I really love going to this place... Especially for the breakfast buffet on Saturday mornings. (On Sundays they have something different going on... but it's not the buffet.) Nothing beat a nice drive down PCH on a weekend morning. Plenty of parking which will cost you at the parking meter. I highly recommend making reservations the day before so you can walk past all the people up front and be seated like a VIP. I've never had to wait when I made a reservation. After you are seated you go to the buffet area. Grab a plate and have one of their omelet artisans create the perfect breakfast piece for you. I always throw a buck or two into the tip basket. You move on to fresh waffles, eggs benedict, sausage, fresh fruit and other treats I don't know the name of, but they are ALL GOOD. If you're lucky you'll be seated next to the window to enjoy the ocean view. With all this factored into equation you'd think it was expensive... but not at all. The breakfast is $13.95 per person ($5.95 for children under 12)... and the juices are like $2.00. Afterwards you can enjoy the ocean view from the gazebo a few yards away or enjoy a walk on the beach. I've created a lot of great memories around this place.
Pros: EXCELLENT (fill in the blank). Everything about this place is great
Cons: Having to feed the meter for parking...but is that really a con?

this place has the worst service ever. good food but the people do not care about the customer. they have volume so they don't care. when you have a reservation, they don't honor it. they served food that wasn't ordered and charged us for it. when they served the table, they reached over the guests and dropped water in the food. the absolute worst!! when we talked to them about it, they had "smug" smiles on their face...crazy. it's not the first time either...we're locals...this has happened more than once.... i guess we're the crazy ones because we went back.... :( not again. we're done.
Pros: good food
Cons: terrible service with no customer care
