First time dining at the Lumberyard! Great comfort food - their menu is extensive and we were guided to the down home items by our server. Chicken pot pie and rotisserie chicken dinner were delicious. I loved their extensive lemonade choices! The tudor-house styling screams old-Laguna Beach and we loved that we could park in Lot 12, the "Lumberyard Lot" right across the street. Restaurant was quiet inside, even when the 3-piece combo started playing on the Saturday night that we were there. Menu items priced extremely fairly. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and speedy. They have a large full bar with sports screens in the middle of the restaurant, but somehow it wasn't noisy. Magical! We loved the entire experience!

Our server was the best! He was consistently a step ahead of us, practically reading our minds only meeting our needs before we asked or thought of it ourselves. We had the best anniversary dinner because of him!

Our first time at Nick’s and it was excellent! Both food and service amazing. Larissa was our waitress she was lovely and very attentive. We had the shrimp appetizer which was beautiful and excellent tasting. A wedge salad and the California, the Cha Cha’s Rigatoni all delicious. And the butter cake which was out of this world good. We’re visiting and so wish we had a Nicks in Central Oregon. We will definitely return when in Newport Beach.

I really appreciate that PF Changs offers gluten free options & prepared them in a seperate area keeping it safe for someone with celiac disease.

    We will definitely be visiting again. The food, service and atmosphere were all great, we had zero complaints and can’t wait to go back and try the brunch! Our dinner was grilled artichoke, tomato burrata arugula salad then fried chicken for the entree. We loved everything. The staff was so friendly, continually checked on us and asked how we were liking things, if we lived near or where visiting. Just felt very welcoming!
