Skyloft

Skyloft Restaurant Review:

The action of this multi-level downtown Laguna Beach venue is literally elevated. A wide staircase immediately takes guests to a modern space festooned with stark black and white hues, an energetic bar beaming the evening’s sporting events, and an eclectic mix of live music. Ascend to the rooftop, and you’ll be surrounded by a panorama of the Pacific Ocean and the underrated undulations of Laguna Canyon. We recommend settling in up top and taking in the view with a classic cocktail or a glass of white peach sangría. The menu connects with various regions of American cuisine through eclectic, approachable dishes. Expect to experience some spice with a good number of selections, from the mild kick of the Cajun aïoli-topped, tempura-battered avocado filled with shrimp to the seafood-stuffed jambalaya. Mains range from a broad mix of sandwiches and burgers to several Southern-inspired bites, like smoked beef brisket and blackened barramundi with roasted corn salad. Desserts such as the bourbon bread pudding are nice meal-enders. On weekends, catch the haze of Laguna's morning while digging into a breakfast sandwich or a version of the Hawaiian classic loco moco.
