Be weary of this place. We waited a while when it wasn't very busy. Maybe they had someone call in but they didn't say. We saw several groups get up and leave because they didn't want to wait. Menu is big and offers organic foods. Unfortunately food was not that great. It was edible but lacked flavor and salt. The bathroom being nice might be the only highlight of this place. Hopefully we just caught them on an off day and we.can try them again.

Title: Hidden Gem in Seal Beach! I recently discovered this hidden gem in Seal Beach after my favorite restaurant closed down. What a pleasant surprise it was! Review: My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant while enjoying a leisurely stroll in the downtown area, and we were blown away by the exceptional service and food quality. The Angus Beef Brisket was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection, and bursting with flavor. The Brussels sprouts and the biscuit were excellent additions to our meal, adding a delightful touch to our dining experience. Atmosphere: The weather was delightful, adding to the charm of our dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and we felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Dining Experience: We were fortunate to arrive just before the rush as there were no empty tables when we visited last Saturday. It's a good thing we beat the crowd - timing truly is everything! Conclusion: I have no hesitation in awarding this restaurant a well-deserved 5-star rating. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Seal Beach. If you're looking for a new favorite spot with top-notch food and service, look no further!

This place was great! Fresh ingredients and food was well seasoned and delicious. Would definitely come back and try more things on the menu. This was our first time here and we ordered salad, Mac and cheese, and fish and chips. Also very affordable.

This downtown Seal Beach restaurant used to be known as "The Backyard," and now goes by "LALC. Apparently, the acronym was formed by the owners' initials. I don't know whether it's under new management (probably it is, but I don't have any evidence for that), but the food in general appears to be the same as that of The Backyard. And that's a good thing, because The Backyard always had a great reputation for great food and reasonable prices. My favorite sandwiches are still there, and they're still delicious as always. I particularly like the pulled pork sandwich, the brisket sandwich, and the Texas tri-tip open sandwich. I'm not a big fan of the very thin fries (your mileage may vary, of course, I know people who love this style), but the sweet potato fries are excellent and therefore my favorite. Highly recommended.
