230 Forest Avenue Happy Hour
Opens 11am
Upscale New American on Forest Avenue downtown. Happy hour runs weekdays 2:30 to 5:30 pm with $3 off house cocktails and $2 off wine by the glass. The kitchen leans California-Mediterranean with strong seafood plates and a patio that wraps along Forest. Walk-in friendly during the HH window, reservations recommended for dinner.
230 Forest Avenue has held its corner of the downtown corridor for years as one of the more consistent upscale rooms in Laguna. The dining room runs California-Mediterranean with a heavy California-coastal slant: housemade pasta, line-caught fish, dry-aged steaks, and a wood-fired oven that turns out pizza and roasted vegetables. The bar program leans toward classic cocktails done right rather than novelty pours. Happy hour drops cocktails by $3 and wine by $2 weekdays 2:30 to 5:30 pm, served at the bar and on the front patio that fronts Forest. The patio is one of the more enjoyable downtown HH seats: street-facing, partially covered, and just busy enough to feel like part of the corridor without being loud. Walk-in friendly during HH; reservations recommended for dinner, especially Friday and Saturday.
