19 Lounge - Laguna Woods

Five of us went to this restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner and we unanimously agreed that it was the worst Thanksgiving dinner we have ever had. The meat seemed to be similar to spam, as it was served in square pieces. The mashed potatoes and stuffing were shaped like golf balls, as they appeared to be scooped with an ice cream scoop. We were not given the option to order from the regular menu, and were instead limited to a few choices. The dinner cost $30 per person, and we were shocked to discover that pie was not included. When we tried to order pecan pie, we were informed that they were out. This all happened at 5:00 in the early evening.

The waitress did not come to our table until 11 am to see if we wanted anything else, by which point I had already ordered and finished my eggs, bacon, and pancakes. When I requested a short stack, she informed me that it was after 11 am and that I could only order from the lunch menu. She seemed very inattentive throughout our meal. Although she smiled nicely as we were leaving, I made it clear to her that we would not be returning for breakfast. We did not leave a tip as she did not refill our hot tea or provide hot water.

We had a wonderful birthday dinner for a party of 14 on the outdoor patio. The food was fantastic, with options like seafood, osso bucco, pasta dishes, and delicious pizza for the little ones. The corkage fee of $10 per bottle was reasonable. The service was attentive, despite the small staff. I would recommend bringing your own tablecloth for special occasions. Overall, it was a lovely evening and I highly recommend this restaurant.

If you are looking for a nice open place to meet girlfriends for lunch, this is the place. Tell guard at gate your going to lunch, no problem getting in.

There were five of us having Thanksgiving dinner and we all agreed that was the worst Thanksgiving dinner we've ever had. The meat appeared to be like spam it was square pieces. The mashed potatoes and dressing look like golf balls because they were served apparently with an ice cream scoop. Would not let us eat off the regular menu we only had limited choices. The dinner was $30 and we were surprised to find out they didn't include pie. So we all ordered pecan pie and they came back and said they had none. This was at 5:00 in the very early evening.
