Since i started the post, let me be the first to answer... mine is this little place called Ikko! The sushi is to die for! I got in trouble one time by the head chef, b/c I asked for soy sauce.

If you want an authentic sushi experience in the OC (yes the real OC), then this is definitely a place to check out!

I love the Rooftop bar at La Casa del Camino in Laguna Beach. With amazing views and great atmosphere for lunch, brunch or a late afternoon cocktail with friends. The food is great and they have an exciting wine and cocktail list. Try it, you won't be disappointed:
