Best Continental Restaurants in Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel

We ordered the short ribs as the main course, which we have never had Rothschild’s before. I was worried because short rib recipes are often too rich for me. But it was excellent, very flavorful but not rich. In retrospect, I should not have worried because Rothchild’s always does such a good job and whatever they touch. The garlic bread and Caesar salad were excellent as always.

Bailey’s Sunday brunch was a lovely surprise. The service was excellent, the food was delicious with a nice variety, and the price was affordable with the option of bottomless mimosas for an additional cost.

I love the Port Restaurant! Cool place to hang out and enjoy food, drinks, friends, conversation. We usually come early around 5:30pm then walk around the corner to the New Port Theater to watch a movie. Always enjoy the food, service and ambiance of the restaurant. However, since we always arrive early, we're usually the first or second customers and it seems that every time, the staff turns up the recorded music very loud. The food and drinks are still good, we still enjoy our friends, but the music is so loud we can't hear each other talk. Makes absolutely no sense to have the music that loud when there's only customers at one or two tables. Of course, we always ask staff to turn the music down, and they do. But, why should we have to ask? Anyway, I highly recommend the Port Restaurant.

Such a great experience, probably our next go-to for anniversaries!

Rochelle was our wine tasting instructor. It was a fun experience and she was very knowledgeable. We opted for the wine, cheese and chocolate tasting. 100% on all choices. We would highly recommend.
