Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

Our party of 8 celebrated an 85th birthday recently at the Tavern. We’ve eaten there several times on the patio, but this was our first visit in the dining room. It was beautiful! Every table in the room was seated, but it never felt crowded or noisy. The food was wonderful - short ribs pappardelle and the mahi special were among our favorites. The waitstaff was attentive and patient with our large family, and the birthday girl was made to feel very special. It was a wonderful evening, and we will definitely be back.

Consistently good food and service. Longtime employees make it especially great.

The restaurant was moderately busy. Our server was less than attentive, I think he had tables outside and we were seated inside. Our food took an hour to get to us and some people in our party had less than hot food. Disappointing since it tastes really good. We weren’t helped very often so we didn’t get a chance to order a second round of drinks. This may be a one off but it was less than stellar

Good food- just very busy so service not so great as had to ask for silverware and napkins and one food order that took too long and was not how ordered. But they offered free pie slices to make up for it.

Mike was terrific. Provided excellent service. Food was delicious! Highly recommend.
