Knolls Restaurant - Laguna Niguel, California

El ambiente es muy bueno y la comida muy rica, la música y el espacio para bailar 10/10 había un mesero latino que era muy atento y siempre amable pero no todos atienden con la misma disposición, el mesero latino fue el que salvó la noche, corrigiendo y estando atento a lo que necesitábamos por eso merece que se le reconozca el servicio pero la pasamos
Muy bien

Mis amigas me invitation a este lugar para escuchar al grupo musical. La estabamos pasando muy bien, bailando y la musica excelente, hasta que una mujer arrogante y súmamente ruda y otro empleado arruinó nuestra Noche. Según Creo es la cocinera; el empleado aventó mi telēfono cuando quise grabar sus insultos, me sentí muy humillada. No volvemos a este lugar. Yo se que la vida pone a esa Gente en su Lugar, tarde o temprano. Karma.

What an amazing evening at Knolls. The ambiance was positive and the place was hopping. Alexander was our amazing server and was not only professional but kind and personable. We met Lauren the new owner and what an amazing person with a smile that lights up a room and the personality to match. We started with drinks and the boom boom shrimp. We had Don Julio Blanco with pelligrino and three limes muddled with mint and they were fantastic. For dinner my wife had the Ceasar salad with chicken and I had the short rib pasta. The food was amazing. We ordered a pizza and sliders and took most of it home. The coffee and cheesecake were awesome as well. The band was crossroads and played some awesome tunes including steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, the double brothers etc.
Great place, great people and food.
Thank you.
Highly recommended.

Great spot. We stopped by this evening and sat at the bar as the class of 84 was having a party. Enrique was our bartender and server. We stated with chicken wings which were very good. The band was fantastic with an awesome sax player. My wife had the boom boom shrimp and I had the chicken linguine. Both dishes were excellent. We heard the news that Vee sold the restaurant and I am sure this place will continue to flourish. Good peeps, good service and good food. Highly recommended

Another terrific evening at Knolls. We were seated by Garrett who also served us with the help of Roque. The boom boom shrimp appetizer was quite tasty.
The drinks were fantastic as was the music by Eric Torreo. We had several drinks and each had an entree as well. We also danced a bit and truly enjoyed the overall dining experience.
Good times. Knolls has music entertainment on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Recommended.

Had a terrific time this evening at Knolls celebrating my wife's birthday with friends. The staff is always amazing and the food is very good as well. Luis was our server as we requested him as he is very attentive, remembers his guests' drinks, likes and dislikes, and makes the evening special every time.
The band was quite good and played a variety of quality tunes. A great hidden gem. The bartenders are also seasoned and experienced and mix a mean cocktail. The calamari, salmon, and shrimp special and other food items were perfect. Luis planned a special dessert birthday dish for the entire party and made the evening that much better!
Highly recommended and ask for Luis as he will truly take care of you!

Another wonderful evening at Knolls. This place is awesome. We went tonight and Jose was our amazing server..simply the best. We also met Enrique his brother who makes some awesome drinks...outstanding. We started with drinks and my wife had the apple martini and I have a few casamigos with club soda and 4 limes..so good. We also ordered the macaroni and cheese appetizer which was quite tasty. We had the honor of doing shots with Eric as it was his 34th birthday and he was running and enjoying the evening. We both had the Salmon entree which was fantastic. This place is truly a hidden gem and the music is always a plus. Top notch service, food and ambiance..we just love it.
Thanks so much for always being consistent and stellar in service, food and ambiance! We highly recommend this amazing lil restaurant.

We went to Knolls last Friday for Happy Hour and it was fantastic, great selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices, and great service. Not busy at all. I posted their pokey stack and sliders.

Great food, and entertainment! Service can be a bit slow at times but nothing that would stop me from coming back. Great prices too.

We were here for New Year's (although we celebrated on the Eastern& Central time zones). The Pork Chops, Chicken & Fish dishes were all very good.
