Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

This was our second time eating lunch there. Service was friendly, efficient and timely. We had the fish taco special, the mussels in leek broth and the Parker house rolls. If you get nothing else, get the rolls! Crispy and buttery on the outside and doughy and soft inside. The fried fish in the tacos were crunchy and the sauce was flavorful and accompanied the fish well. The mussels were cooked just right - still soft and flavorful in a light, savory sauce. The butter cake was the epitome of decadence. Definitely recommend for lunch.

I met a friend for happy hour. 3 pm but we were given a brunch menu? Not really what we had in mind but we both picked the steak salad. It was really tasty and well done steak. The waitress must have been busy because we didn’t see her at all until we finished. No refills of water. It was a bit pricey for 2 salads and a three glass wine tasting for one and an ice tea for the other. $90

Our server Jorge was so amazing and very attentive. He also gave us recommendations of local places in the area to also check after our dinner.

Eveything about this establishment is on-point. Be it the outstanding service, the food (presentation and flavor), the ambient lighting or the beautiful decor. They truly are firing on all cylinders here, and will make for a top-night for any occasion whatsoever. I cannot speak highly enough about this place in all honesty, making it a local favorite for several years now.

Our visit to the Jingle Bar was great. Victoria was our waitress and she was the BEST!
