First of all the ambiance at Skyloft would be impossible to beat. If you're anywhere near Laguna come check them out just to experience the interior design and the rooftop views. But the team at Skyloft doesn't sit back and expect the amazing space to carry the day. The staff are all friendly and super accommodating. We booked a party of eight on New Year's Day and they made a special call the day of the reservation to remind us they were closing early for the holiday and offered us the option of coming in early to make sure we didn't feel rushed. The food was a great balance of house smoked meats, pasta dishes, and great seafood. They has great options on the kid menus, crafted cocktails for the ladies, and a great beer selection as well. We had such a great time that we unintentionally stayed past the early close and the staff never made us feel unwelcome. They even graciously took photos of our group before we parted ways. Recommendations of specific offerings from our group include the brisket, burger, Brussels, pulled pork, the Cajun pasta, the primavera, and the baked Brie! Our new favorite spot in Laguna!

We came to check out the Herb's Place speakeasy and Jingle Bar that was festively decorated for the holidays. Herb's Place We ordered the prime rib sandwich and burger, which were both fantastic! Our server was friendly and checked on us often. I ordered the Mistletoe Margarita from the holiday cocktail menu, which was crafted with whiskey instead of tequila and so delicious. My husband tried the Johnny Thunder from the signature menu, and it was equally fantastic. The bartender mixed our drinks with the perfect spirit to mixer ratio. Specialty drinks average around $17, sandwiches/burgers around $20. Jingle Bar We moved to the bar when we finished our meal. I tried the Mint Cookie Monster, which tasted like a thin mint cookie, and the Polar Express, which had a dominant peppermint flavor and was decadently topped with whipped cream and espresso. Both were fabulous dessert drinks. My husband had a Mai tai, which was ok. The sparkling holiday decor and Christmas music playing created a cozy ambiance that's atypical of most bars. Around 3:45, I asked the manager if we needed reservations to be seated on the rooftop. He said no, it's open seating, but we couldn't just sit up there for cocktails as it's reserved for dining customers. Considering we had just spent $165 on food and drinks, I felt it was bad business. We left and enjoyed the sunset at the beach, which is literally across the street. Misc. Our reservation was for 2:45, and the inside was fairly empty. Most people entering went directly to the rooftop. It's a popular place to watch the early sunset. It started getting very busy right at the golden hour (3:45, an hour before sunset). Public parking was easy to find. Use this address: 501 Glenneyre St, Laguna Beach, CA 92651 3 hours max, $3 per hour which was payable through the website posted on the street lamps. The lot we parked in had stairs that led directly down to shops that were adjacent to Skyloft. There's a sizable stage/dancing area. Check the website for the live music schedule. We really enjoyed the food, ambiance, service, and cocktails. Next time we will save our appetites so we can sit on the rooftop.

We weren't so sure about this place when we walked in... it was empty and dark downstairs so my parents immediately wanted to leave. We made our way to the Skybar upstairs and the view made them change their minds. We ordered the calamari, the 3 proteins / 1 side BBQ plate and the cheeseburger with Mac & Cheese. So so so good. Every dish was amazing. My parents really loved how fresh the calamari was. We devoured the burger. I don't know why the overall rating of this place is a little lower, but I imagine it's because of service. It was a little slower but our waitress, Andrea was so patient and helpful. Would highly recommend stopping by. Also make sure to check out the website to see if they have any deals going on. We went today and they had 25% off but you had to mention it for it to apply.

Came here on a whim to buy time for traffic to go down. I had the best experience at this place. Even though it was cold outside, I sat on the roof and they turned on the heaters all around me to make it warm. The drink selection and the food selection is fantastic. I ended up doing a burger, which is great because they offer beyond patties For vegetarians. I ended up doing the BBQ burger, which was absolutely delicious. I am astounded with how delicious the food was, and I highly recommend doing a boozy shake for dessert. Not to mention, we had some of the best service ever from Jamie. It was a 10 out of 10 experience and I hope every time going back there it will be just like the first!

Wednesday night live band!!! Seriously enjoyed this evening at Skyloft. Food is pretty good. I ordered the Sky loft salad it was great ... the only problem or complaint about it is that I added chicken breast to it for an additional prize and the piece of chicken was so thin and not enough. I don't think it was a whole chicken breast and also ordered the cornbread . This corn bread is amazing. It comes to it in order. It is moist and so flavorful and warm with butter. They have beers on tap and full bar service .

I got the pleasure of dining at Mozambique and so Skyloft was a must. We came with reservations and so we were seated right away. Love that Skyloft offers a few levels, one level having dining seating, a bar and a dance area and the other level being a rooftop with dining seating and an amazing view. Our server, Nick, was great - super attentive, offered great recommendations, and had great vibes. We ordered the calamari/fries, wedge salad, the halibut and risotto dish and finished with bread pudding. I was impressed with their fries, wedge salad and risotto and would definitely recommend. My George Peach Cobbler cocktail was amazingly delicious as well.
