The 16 Best Restaurants & Bars In Laguna Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Given the growing number of hedge-fund dudes purchasing mansions in Laguna, there’s bound to be at least one high-end omakase sushi spot in town. That’s Rebel Omakase, and the good news is it lives up to its special occasion price: $260 for 20-ish courses. This relaxing, quiet sushi counter resembles a fancy spa, except with fish flown in from Japan instead of hot stones and essential oils. It’s run by a Peruvian chef trained in Tokyo who mixes in fun twists like wasabi sorbet and a sashimi-style riff on shrimp chowder. If you’re looking for a lighter splurge, book the shortened lunch omakase for $160—there’s less caviar and truffles, but it’s just as satisfying." - garrett snyder, jess basser sanders
