You can't get more straightforward than 230 Forest Avenue. to begin with, its name is its address. So, there's a lot less chance than normal of getting lost. Crowds of beautiful people spilled onto the sidewalk, for a seat on the small heated patio or in the long, sleek dining room.
The dishes at 230 Forest Avenue taste like real food, with true, honest flavors.

Proud recipient of the prestigious Zagat Award 2009, 230 Forest Avenue gained a reputation as the 'in spot' among foodies after debuting at its namesake address in the summer of 1995.

In the heart of downtown Laguna Beach, this happening bistro is upbeat and chic, with a popular outside patio, beautifully prepared food and a plethora of exotic martinis to please sophisticated palates. Seafood rules here: the hazelnut-crusted Alaskan Halibut is a work of art. A magnificent Pacific Northwest cioppino is chock-full of lobster, colossal shrimp, Manila Clams, New Zealand greenlip mussels, calamari and fish in a rich seafood and shellfish stock.
