Wine Gallery

My new favorite Happy Hour place in Laguna Beach.Great deal! Excellent price for good quality wines plus discounted food menu. Pizza of the day is half off during HH. Artisan wood fired pizzas are fabulous. Extensive wine list you won’t find in any other pizza place. Great place for larger parties.

Highly recommend Wine Gallery for a great dinner spot. The patio area is so cute and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. We started with the short rib tacos and caprese house burrata - both were fantastic and you could really tell how fresh the heirloom tomatoes and basil were. The sausage pizza had great flavor and the perfect crust. We finished our meal with the pumpkin pie and vanilla ice cream - delicious!

Super cool and cozy place to grab a bite to eat and a nice drink in Laguna. I love the atmosphere for both the inside and outside seating. The selection of wines is great (lots of good ones to choose from) and the menu has lots of tasty offerings, all of which pair well with whatever drink you choose. The staff always have great suggestions if you don't know what to go with. The Margherita pizza is always a good choice, but the spaghetti and meatballs is great too! My only complaint is that it is a little on the pricer side, but the food and vibes more than make up for it.

Great locals spot in S Laguna. Most people order a pizza, which is fine, but the salads, entrees and desserts are amazing. Of course, Great wine selections abound! Enjoy!

I came here on short notice with my wife. The ambiance was great, the food was great, and the service was great. We had a charcuterie board, some massive steamed asparagus, a hanger steak, and a halibut plate. All were delicious and perfectly cooked and seasoned.

Excellent experience! One of those menus that has SO many good options it’s very hard to choose. Awesome selection of unique wines you don’t see most other places with many of them available BTG. Can’t wait to go back

From service to mouth melting delicious plates, this place aced it! We were immediately seated 30 minutes early for our reservation. From there there it was like clock work for the staff to come by with water, drinks, appetizers, main dishes and dessert! The ambiance was perfect with live music and a clean and elevated atmosphere! We had fig and date bruschetta, Bianco bacon rosemary wood fire pizza, Bianca pancetta bucatini and lemon Rosemary cheesecake!

Great food. Love the different selections especially the wide range of veggies. Eating my veggies makes me feel less guilty about drinking their great wine. Doing takeout since COVID hit and they do an awesome job too. These folks appreciate your business and LOVE their guests.

Today we celebrated my sons engagement. We had a total of 12 people. Service amazing . Food all came out at same time . Friendly . Good atmosphere. Reasonable prices . Food delicious. Great first experience . Will go back for sure ! Service amazing

Laguna Beach isn't kind to restaurants. This is a town where even the best intentions often meet their end on the rocky shores of fickle tastes and steep rents. But then there's Laguna Wine Gallery--a quiet survivor, a hidden gem that doesn't scream for your attention. It doesn't need to. The locals know. So low-key is this place that even the sign outside is nothing more than a simple drawing of a wine bottle. No neon, no flash--just an understated nod to the treasures waiting inside. Step through the doors, and you'll find something rare: a place that feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The wine selection is vast, leaning heavily toward California's finest, with enough options to keep both casual sippers and full-blown oenophiles happy. The food menu? Small but mighty, anchored by that brick oven in the center of the room, a glowing heart that churns out some of the best Neapolitan-style pizzas you'll find in town. Most of the seating is high-top, and reservations are wise--even on a random Wednesday, the place hums with energy. But for my wife and me, the bar is the spot. There's something about sitting there, sharing a perfectly crisp pizza, a bright, tangy chopped salad, and a bottle of Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands that just feels...right. Simple pleasures, done well. Keep an eye on the chalkboard. The daily pizza specials--always inventive, never pretentious--are worth the detour. And if you're lucky, the specials might include something you didn't know you needed until you tried it. Laguna Wine Gallery isn't flashy or showy. It's a place that's grown roots in a town that often resists them. Go there for the wine, stay for the food, and come back because it feels like home.

A wonderful wine pairing prix fixe dinner last night for New Year. Chris & his staff provided perfect personalized service all evening. Opening gratis Prosecco was followed by an Amuse bouche of caviar on toast, then a delicious leek/lardos soup, next a healthy & savory Mediterranean chopped salad, our party of three chose one of the three entrees offered: halibut [yummy], lobster ravioli [very rich], hangar steak [tasty but too tough], and a decadent chocolate cake dessert. We sat at the bar since our reservations were last minute due to our garage door breaking in the afternoon, but it was just right since we got to interact with ebullient bartender, Courtney, and watch the chef[s] at work. A full house of happy diners all around us made for a lovely lively time. Happy New Year Year!

This place 1 is super cool and 2 the food is great. 3 amazing staff. The tacos and meatballs are amazing and great wine selection. But what really made this place a 10/10 was the staff. Especially Courtney. What an absolute gem of a human. If you go tip her well (always tip well) but she really deserves it. This place is kind, wonderful, and a great vibe. Highly recommend if you're in town

Stopped by here as I was in town, and loved the pizza! I generally love pizza so there is a high bar. I ordered the fungi and some white wine and it was delicious. Loved the people watching. Servers are nice. Wine was great (but expensive I suppose). I missed the Happy Hour but it's nice they have one. Anyway, I would recommend coming, it's a great place for dinner!

After a long day at a conference at The Ritz, ten of us took an uber to this gem of a restaurant. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. The smell of wood-fired pizza immediately set my mind on pizza and wine. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly. Everyone in our party raved about the food they ordered. Our server was delightful, fun, and knowledgable and she managed our party perfectly. I look forward to returning.

Ordered from Door Dash last night. The food was good but.... They left cheese on salad when I requested no cheese and the not so chopped salad was supposed to have chicken on it and there was no chicken leaving that person hungry.

1st timer and no regret, pizza was amazing, appetizers cauliflower and mini tacos great taste, love the wine selection... prices are very good. Will go back again...

I have been to Wine Gallery many times and I have never been disappointed. I decided to see if I could get a reservation on New Years Eve. I was able to get in even though it was fully booked. We were given the opportunity to sit at the bar which we were happy to do. Courtney was our bartender/server and she was so fun to talk to. Sitting at the bar really gives opportunity to chat to other people also seated at the bar which makes the experience even more fun. There was a prix fixe dinner available with an optional wine pairing. The dinner began with caviar on toast, followed by a delicious leek soup, then by a really nice salad. The main course was a choice of lobster ravioli, hangar steak or halibut. We had three people in our group, so we got one of each and we were not disappointed by any of them, except that the hangar steak was a little tough but still very tasty. Finally there was a delicious chocolate cake for dessert. Chris the owner, was engaging with all of the customers as he poured wines and delivered each course. It was a lovely evening to end the year!

Loved this little spot in Laguna! We went for me and my boyfriend's anniversary and it was a great experience. We visited without a reservation on a Saturday night and they were able to accommodate us even though it was pretty full. The vibes were really nice, lots of conversation flowing, and the wine list was pretty varied. We ordered some wings, the caprese burrata and a margherita pizza. They also gave us a complimentary brownie for the occasion--so sweet. All of the food was delicious and the staff was really friendly and helpful despite how busy it was. It did take a little while for the food to come out, but we expected that. We were happy overall with the experience. It wasn't too hard to find street parking and the restaurant is about a block from the ocean if you want to take a walk with a view before or after your meal. I believe the restaurant is only open in the evenings.

Nicely decorated place, great wine selection and tasty food. Service was fast. Perfect for a casual night out

On a casual weeknight, I went with a few locals to Laguna Beach, and enjoyed a lovely gathering at this wine gallery on bustling PCH. The evening ambiance is warm and inviting, the walls have many shelves featuring wines from across the globe, and the wooded furniture brings a rustic sensibility. The server was genial, though the table space was tight. My friend had to grab a few bottles to pass across the table for the wait staff, which was not ideal and a bit cumbersome, dampening the mood slightly. I sampled the Cauliflower Polpette that was saucy and savory; the Four Cheese Pizza, which was scrumptious and on the thin side; and a glass of Pinot that was delectable.

Went here for a firm holiday party. The food was varied and really tasty--simple but very nicely prepared. The wines were excellent. But the best thing was the service: the proprietor and servers were friendly, helpful, attentive and really very charming, and in the challenging environment of a stand-up party where everyone was moving around. Can't wait to go back again.

Celebrated our gf's birthday here. The food was delicious! We shared the "meatballs", Peach Burrata Salad, and the summer special salad recommended by our very knowledgeable server. Restaurant is quite small inside N out but very cute.

Holiday Happy Hour! I met up with my friend for happy hour last Thursday for some pre-Christmas drinks and we sat on the patio. The heaters warmed us up and it had a cozy atmosphere. We ordered the house red wine, pizza of the night and the meatballs. Happy hour prices were reasonable and cut off around 6 pm - so if that's what you're going here for make sure you get your order in early. The meatballs were moist and served with just enough sauce! They also came with 3 slices of bread. Only thing that would have made this better is if the bread was toasted a little. Otherwise this was a great mini meal. It felt wrong not ordering a wine from the menu because there were so many options and they all looked amazing but the happy hour Spellbound was perfect! I did not have the pizza but it was a decent size for the price - I would try that next time or their burger or their short rib ravioli or let's be real - their short rib tacos. The service was fantastic! All around a win!

I love this little wine gallery so much I just had to bring back my friends to experience the delicious food. Our server for last night, " Bunny" sweetest person ever... she recommended the short rib ravioli and trust.. it was delicious we also had the housemade Jidore chicken, the house made meatballs and marinara sauce and the delicious fire roasted brussels sprouts with bacon. And of course it would not be complete if I didn't have my favorite wine Rombauer...

Love this place, all of the food out of their wood oven is delicious. The pizza, their frites, salads, all great. I have never had a bad meal here. I feel like this place isn't well known because it's not at the beach end of Laguna. My partner and I refer to it as one of the secret great places in Laguna Beach.

We love the Wine Gallary! Courtney was amazing! Wine was delish! Pizza was perfect! Such a great cozy date night spot!! We will be back soon!

I've been to this cute little romantic spot twice now, happy I came back to give it another shot! Our second visit we got the Caesar salad, franks wings, the short rib ravioli and the Chilean seabass. The Chilean seabass was on a bed of greens and roasted veggies - the roasted veggies were phenomenal and the fish was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Caesar was proper, dressing was killer and produce was fresh, croutons were the best I've ever had. The wings came in a huge portion and thank god because they were amazing. The house-made ranch was the Cherry on-top. Everything was incredible, but the ravioli was simply outshone by the other dishes. I feel it was just missing some fresh Parmesan and maybe some fancier mushrooms. It still was tasty though. Our waitress was absolutely lovely. Chris - the owner - was there when we visited last and he was very engaged with all the guests and staff, it's wonderful to see a restaurant owner who is present and invested in an excellent dining experience. We can't wait to come back!

This place is fairly mediocre. The atmosphere of this place is pretty cool. We had a rooftop sunset view which was nice but other than that, I wouldn't come back. Our server was friendly and attentive, which was surprising given that seated out of the way. Ordered the steak frites and the margherita pizza. Both were just okay. Nothing special to it.

Pleasant and relatively quiet patio for sitting. Not right on noisy street. Friendly and helpful service. Food was good. Pizza especially tasty.

Went to Wine Gallery on Saturday May 18th for happy hour which is from 4:30 to 5:30pm. We made a reservation at 5pm and we ordered everything before 5:30. Had a great experience previously for regular dinner time. First time for happy hour. Their pizza of the day was amazing and delicious and their pizzas are great! I recommend you try it. I'm giving one star even though the food was amazing. At last when I was paying the bill, shockingly, the waiter Brian, who is a very nice gentleman, ruined the night. I had all happy hour prices on the receipt except one pizza which was incorrectly charged as full price. I approached him very nicely. He was like well you ordered after 5:30pm I'm sorry and there is nothing I can do and walked away. I was surprised and my partner was surprised how he responded to us like this. I was very upset and embarrassed because we wanted to come here again but we feel like they accused us of lying. He never told us "last call" at all and we felt that we got taken advantage of and robbed by that server since we ordered everything before happy hour ended. After we left we decided to call and spoke to a very nice gentleman the general manager and he fixed it and refunded us without any troubles. I think I won't be back after we got lied to and experienced dishonesty from our server named Brian. I recommend you check your receipt before paying.

The pizza here were really great! Service was excellent. Rafael was topnotch. And I love the ambiance at the patio area.

The charcuterie was fantastic as an appetizer and then we ordered the special pizza of the day which was tomato sauce based with sausage and some red onions. Delicious! Courtney was a wonderful server who always made sure our wine glasses were full. Cozy and warm atmosphere that is definitely recommended.

Really like the food but this restaurant seemingly discriminates against families with young children. We live down the street and have tried coming multiple times only to be turned away because they have one highchair for the entire restaurant - and it's taken. In the past, the single highchair had been broken so our family was turned away. Knowing this, I called to reserve the highchair, was told I could have it, showed up, and it was given to another guest who needed it, so my family was turned away. It's honestly laughable. BYOHC if you have a family! 3 stars for being a community restaurant that doesn't cater to the families in the community

The service, food, and ambiance made for the most perfect evening. If you bring your own bottle of wine be prepared to pay a hefty fee for them to just open it. We got three pizzas which fed all 7 of us. Very delicious!

Went here on a date night for desserts and wine, after seeing really good reviews. We came at around 8:30 pm and were seated promptly at a nice little table that was a little bit away from all the noise thankfully! There were a good handful of larger open tables (like 4 top tables) but we got a nice 2-top belly up tables by the window. We asked for wine recs to pair with our creme brûlée and our waiter asked the owner for us. The creme brûlée wasn't as custardy or smooth as it should have been, definitely was cooked previously before being heated up but substantial parts of it had a more mealy texture. Still was very flavorful and it was made with real vanilla bean in it. The crust was more sticky than crisp, which you usually have a delicate sugar crust. But again, still flavorful! Topped with fresh berries, it quite was a generous portion for $10 each, and we were pretty satisfied!! Pours for a glass were generous too! Chris, the owner, came by our table to greet us at the end, and he was just very nice. It's such a warm touch to be approached by and speak with the owner at these small businesses. It really makes you feel like your patronage means something to them! There are so many yummy sounding food options we will have to try in the future. The food is pricier than we usually go for, for a date night ($47 for their scallops dinner, I think around $42 for their pistachio pesto fettuccine, can't remember their other specials) but I imagine the quality and flavor is top notch; the aroma of the wine bar smelled incredible!!!! Their kitchen is in close proximity right with the bar itself, so the smells wafted right up to drinkers.

Delicious, excellent service, great atmosphere, beautiful wine selection Really close to my house...I always run into a neighbor here

Brian is a cute waiter and the food is pretty good but the music is absolutely AWFUL!!! Milky chance is the worst!! The mussels are delicious though!! Local farmers market veggies were pretty bland and needed sauce. Maybe I'll take them to the petting zoo tomorrow in SJC. lol We were definitely rushed out. I probably wouldn't come back in the near future.

Only had the wine here, which was excellent. The food looked good from other tables, but I didn't try it myself.

Food mostly was good. We really liked pizzas and salads. Desserts were mediocre at best. The cream brûlée was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like grits . Brownie dessert was not good as well. Service was ok. The outdoor area awash very nice

Super cool and cozy place to grab a bite to eat and a nice drink in Laguna. I love the atmosphere for both the inside and outside seating. The selection of wines is great (lots of good ones to choose from) and the menu has lots of tasty offerings, all of which pair well with whatever drink you choose. The staff always have great suggestions if you don't know what to go with. The Margherita pizza is always a good choice, but the spaghetti and meatballs is great too. Come hungry because everything on the menu is very rich.

Food was great!! Loved my pizza and shared a few appetizers. Our party of 6 had a great time and would love to come back. Only issue was sitting out front with a heater that is only for ambiance. Wasn't enough to not want to come back though. Can't wait to try more of the menu :)

This is a great local find. Great food, wine, a patio, near beach, ample parking, and service.

Stopped in town for two nights and after ordering the Funghi pizza, we are going back again for the second night. Absolutely one of the best pizzas we have ever had, and we've tried more than our fair share!! Amazing pizza!

We had a wonderful dinner at Wine Gallery for our anniversary. Our server Brian was fantastic and made great recommendations. The wine list was plentiful and we enjoyed every item we ordered especially the specials!!!

Was here last week for a pop up wine tasting featuring Santa Barbara Wine Country wines. Some decent vinos were featured and paired with charcuterie + hors d'oeuvres. All in all a wonderful experience. Can't beat that Laguna Beach sunset too!

We came here one night during a quick vacation to Laguna Beach, Wine Gallery was a short walk from our stay and it did not disappoint! We started with the truffle fries with dipping sauces and they were DELICIOUS! The truffle ketchup was insanely good. We also ordered the Three Meat Pete wood fired pizza and it was cooked to perfection. The vibes of the restaurant were great, would definitely advise a spot on the patio as the ambience at night was awesome. Would highly recommend and we cannot wait to return during our next Laguna visit!

My girlfriend and I happened to be staying nearby since we were evacuated from our homes due to the recent fires.....and so brought my girlfriend here for an early birthday dinner, and so glad we got to try this place. Just in case, I had made a reservation for an outdoor patio table, showed up a bit early, but were immediately attended to by a very nice young lady who led us to the back patio. Wow.....what a cute back patio, felt so cozy, homey, and had a nice vibe to the space....great for hanging out with friends for happy hour drinks and food..... and heat lamps available for a cool night's dining. I guess the only minor annoyance was that despite being hidden at the back, away from the main road, you can still hear quite a bit of traffic noise. Service and food was very good.....servers wore masks....and were very nice, friendly, and attentive. We decided to share everything so ended up ordering the clay oven baked Funghi pizza and special pizza of the day....I think arugula with tomato and goat cheese (?), the roasted Brussel sprouts, and an order of the truffle fries....highly recommended by our server. All this with a couple glasses of cabs.....yummee! Loved those pizzas with the perfectly baked crusts and fresh ingredients. But those truffle fries.....we just wanted to try them, but weren't planning on finishing them. As it turned out, they were so good and so addictive that they were the first to go! The Brussel sprouts were good too, but we ordered the bacon on the side so as to reduce the saltiness of the veg.....still delicious without it. All in all a very good dinner/happy hour experience here...loved the delicious food, wonderful service, and pleasantly comfortable ambiance. We would definitely come back here if we happened to be staying in neighborhood again....hopefully soon.

Excellent restaurant. Solid wine list, a wood burning oven, and the best spinach artichoke dip I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Went to Wine Gallery for the first time for dinner tonight and loved it. Fun, lively friendly atmosphere. Chris, the owner, is friendly to everyone. And food and wine were great - excellent sausage pizza and farro salad. Excited to go back soon!

Found this place while searching for a decent place close to surf and sand. Got lucky and a table was available and was walking distance Service: The waiter was one of the best waiters I have ever had. Hostess was friendly as well Ambiance: it's small, and loud inside. Looking for a quiet place.. this ain't it! Food: Thought it was a-ok. One of us ordered a fried chicken sandwich special. They liked it a lot. And it was a big portion I ordered a pizza. Thought it was ok. The dough was CRYING for some salt though. Cooked properly, right amount of toppings, flavorless dough. I really don't think it had any salt at all Would I go back, absolutely. Prolly wouldn't order a pizza though

Unfortunately our last 3 experiences have not been good. When you find out a restaurant's go to oil is CANOLA OIL.. ITS All downhill from there. The staff lost their spirit and their is not a single nongmo/organic wine.. sorry we've moved on...

What a fantastic place, my boyfriend surprised me with a bottle of wine and a visit to Wine Gallery. Beautiful place with excellent service!!!

Great pizza and meatballs. The food is all really good. We love the happy hour too. Seating outside is very nice and comfy.

So my daughter and fiancé were visiting from Colorado and we decided to make the trip down to orange county to the wine gallery. The wine gallery opens at 4:30 PM which is a perfect time to start an early evening. We arrived around 4 o'clock or so and the restaurant is a stones throw from the most spectacular and beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. Having grown up in Southern California, my daughter was happy to be back in the sunlight and the sun rays of Southern California, and the day was perfect for it. When we returned to the restaurant a little after 430 we were seated immediately, and from the very onset, the service, the appetizers, the adult beverages, and the food were spectacular. Everything on the menu is absolutely wonderful, and to die for. We all had dessert. I had the brownie à la mode my daughter had The cookies and cream that she shared with her fiancé. One word can some up this place perfectly, amazing!

I grew up in Laguna Beach and truthfully hadn't been back as an adult in years. Well, the time finally came when I was searching for a place to take my mom out to dinner to and we came across this gem! I was skeptical since neither of my parents (who are locals) had been here, but it did not disappoint. The ambiance was awesome, and the pizzas exceeded our admittedly high LA standards. Delicious! We loved all three that we ordered. The wine selection was excellent too. We left happy and excited to go back again when the cravings for great pizza strike! You won't regret choosing to spend a Friday or Saturday night here.

Tried to call to let them know they're handing out bread like this but the two hostesses could give less of a shit. Please ensure you're double checking what you're giving...

Food here was incredible!! Especially for the price. Would absolutely come back. It's pretty small so I can see how it could quickly become crowded. The service was also great!
