Lumberyard - Laguna Beach, California

This restaurant was amazing. We walked in and immediately heard the live musicians playing jazzed up versions of classic songs, and we were greeted by the sweetest hostess. The servers were all very kind and attentive. I've never had such warm and welcoming service.
The food was just as great. The lumberyard planks, skirt steak, salmon & the kiddo mac&cheese and burger were all very tasty. The apple cobbler a la mode was dynamite! My kiddos loved the bread pudding. Serving sizes were perfect for us. Seriously, you cannot not go wrong with this place. It's a gem!

Great setting for a birthday celebration!
Featured chef appetizers and dinner specials were all delicious! Service was a bit slow but they were busy.

It's a cool and busy spot in Laguna Beach. We didn't have reservations on a Tuesday night and waited for about 25 minutes for a table. It was pretty lively and busy. We chose this restaurant since it was close to the beach and a variety of items on their menu.

The fried calamari was delicious. Especially the garlic aioli.

The fish 'n chips were tasty as well. Even my 7-yr old son ordered it off the kids menu.

The beef stroganoff tasted good, however, the beef was overcooked for my liking. I like my beef nice & tender. Our server was kind enough to remove it from our bill and I ended up ordering a cup of tomato bisque soup which was good. I also had some fish 'n chips.

We'd go and try out other menu items next time.

We have gone to pageant of the masters for years. We've passed the Lumberyard several times. We decided to have an early dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the offerings of craft beer that was available. This may very well be our goto restaurant when we're in town to see the show.

The Lumberyard has a wide range of different food to choose from, we got the chicken pot pie, cheese burger, and fish & chips. The reg fries and sweet potato fries were incredible, the tartar sauce was amazing as well. The pot pie was big enough for 2-3 and was also really good, and the fish & chips was really good as well. Our server, Jeannie was super sweet and so fun to talk to. She was so welcoming and an made the experience unforgettable. My sister has a lot of allergies, and Jeannie was very accommodating and ensured everything was great. The atmosphere was also really nice, it was clean, service was 10/10, and the food was amazing.

I would consider this to be pretty average, and high-priced. The fillet was slightly overcooked, and the Caesar was very normal, or slightly below. When we tried to order dessert, they were out of both the chocolate chip cookie and the other dessert that included chocolate. We also got the Keylime pie, it was much more like a goat cheese cheesecake… It is not good. Zucchini appetizer and cornbread were both pretty good.

Always busy before a Laguna Playhouse show. Lively. Had Cobb salad, hamachi crudo, clam chowder and a beer salad. All were excellent.

Came for a business lunch and the service was very attentive and was a nice quiet setting in a beautiful setting of Laguna Beach. The chicken had a nice flavor and was perfectly cooked to a Coca Cola brown char on top.
Pricing was reasonable and the highest priced item I saw on the menu was a $49 Filet. With their location in Laguna Beach I feel like they could charge even more considering the food quality and location.
Highly recommend this California gem and had it been a nicer day would have sat outside on their patio.
Great place for a steak and wine, business meal or dinner date.
