Laguna Beach Wine Gallery

Matt at Wine Gallery was very helpful.  I live in NorCal and was able to purchase two wines over the phone. Matt even agreed to personally deliver them to a restaurant in Laguna Beach for my parents' 40th Wedding Anniversary!  They'll be so happy!
Thanks!

Let me start by saying that I don't drink.  I went there with my wife and friends for dinner, and I was blown away.  The appetizers were phenominal , the pizza perfect, but my favorite part was the desert.  The ice cream is homemade, and the flavors were different, yet unbelievable.  The staff is great, the ambiance perfect, and I will definitely be going back.

We've been there twice.  The first time we went with a local Laguna Beach friend for their happy hour evening ... can't remember what night it was but she said they have a happy hour evening with reduced prices each month.  We ordered a pizza and it was good and we both had a glass of happy hour Pinot Noir -- it was enjoyable.  A radio station is located upstairs and they had a guitar players/singer performing -- he was okay but the music was so loud that you couldn't have a conversation and it makes your head ache to sit near the music.

We decided to give it another try one evening as we were passing through Laguna Beach.  Again, another guitar/singer performing and this time the music was even louder!  Seriously, why play the music so loud when it's a small venue.  I literally had to stick my finger in my ear at one point because of the volume.

It would be a great place if they would either skip the live entertainment or at least turn down the equipment to be at volume that allows people sitting next to each other to have  conversation without having to yell to one another.

They seem to be popular and are pretty crowded. Their pizza is good.  The wine by the glass selection is decent.  It's a 3 star experience for me -- could be raised if I ever stop by when some live musical performer isn't blasting the volume.
