Harvest Restaurant Reopens For Outdoor Dining And Pristine Views

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The Ranch at Laguna Beach announced the reopening of its signature Harvest restaurant for outdoor patio dining on Friday, following state and local health guidelines.

Following a statewide shutdown of in-person dining, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is ready to reopen The Harvest Restaurant once again. Starting Friday, the Harvest will be open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All will be served beneath a heated canopy, with the serene canyon views to give all that breath of Orange County's rarified air.

According to Executive Chef Kyle St. John, the restaurant will reopen with its full menu. Each item "marries the bounty of the season with the artistry of Laguna Beach into a vibrant array of local flavors, ingredients, and California culinary traditions," St. John says.

Meals will be served on the Harvest Patio, which features a new canopy, heaters and twinkling lights. There is also a testament to health and safety amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"The canopy sides will be open to allow for constant airflow, and seating will be spaced and managed to allow for distancing," a spokesperson for the resort says. "Stringent sanitization protocols are implemented for guest and staff safety. Complimentary valet parking will be provided."

Dine outdoors from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. and enjoy live music from 5:30 p.m. -9:30 p.m. daily, for an added dose of atmosphere.

The Ranch at Laguna Beach is also one of the world's first hotels to become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide.

"This seal of approval is granted to hotels that implement and uphold more than 360 health, hygiene, and safety standards to keep guests and staff safe while maintaining an exemplary resort experience," a spokesperson for The Ranch at Laguna Beach says.

The restaurant serves fresh farm- and hook-to-table cuisine, enjoys an extensive wine list and a garden-driven cocktail menu.

Created in homage to Laguna’s original Ranch homesteaders, the menu at Harvest changes with the season.
