Love the baby back ribs with delicious bbq sauce. Always get them. Our guests also enjoyed the chicken piccata and salmon. Couldn’t resist the warm butter cake with vanilla ice cream- a total splurge!

**5 Stars! An Outstanding Experience!** We celebrated my wife's birthday at Noble Ace in Laguna Beach last night with friends, and the entire evening was fantastic! From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The food was absolutely outstanding, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere made for a perfect evening. It's always a pleasure to dine somewhere that gets everything right, and Noble Ace certainly delivered. The staff made us feel welcome, the attention to detail was excellent, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. A memorable birthday celebration and a wonderful night with friends. **Noble Ace knocked it out of the park!** We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Six of us from our Bible study decided to meet for lunch at Culinary Dropout! It was delightful and the food was delicious! We had a large table that sat the six of us very comfortably. I wish I could remember our waiters name as he was wonderful and was very accommodating when it came to giving us 6 separate tabs!😂

We sat on the patio with a service dog, and it was great. There were other dogs around, but everybody behaved. Service was good, the food was good.

LaZDog is a fun restaurant with good drinks and a wide variety of meals. I had the Fireside special with fried chicken and it was yummy! Of note, I forgot about their frozen TV dinners; I got 5 dinners plus one dinner free. This will be great as I am having surgery soon and the convenience of LaZDog’s meals at home will be great.

    We had a large party and our waiter took great care of us. Along with the busboy filling our water glasses. The food was great and they were able to break down the bill between 4 groups of 6 which was very helpful to our group. We will be back!
