The baby back ribs were recommended to us, but they were disappointing. The flavor was good, but they were dry. And no corn or baked beans as sides? Just some so-so green beans and a half (not whole) baked potato. The ambiance, if you can all it that, is strange. I don't think we'll be back.

I really want to like this place. The nice atmosphere, unique variety on the menu, and friendly service I have experienced during multiple visits, has me wanting to give Pizza Lounge another chance. I ate dinner with a lady friend, then returned for lunch two weeks later with her for a second chance. Both visits were marked by missteps coming from the kitchen. Visit #1: A good friend chose Pizza Lounge for dinner for us, based on a friends recommendation. She enjoys a good pizza so we made are way to the shopping center in Laguna Niguel to check it out. Walking inside it was mostly a dark decor with a massive u shaped bar dividing the dinning room. Flat screen TVs showed various sporting events (thankfully the sound was muted & the CC on). We were promptly seated by the manager. Let him know this was our first visit resulted in a offer of a complimentary appetizer choice between Hot Wings or the Hummus Plate. NICE!!We chose the Hummus that could satisfy a party of four that tasted fresh with soft pita bread bits to load up with, along with chopped cucumber and tomatoes, greek olives, and feta, YUM !! We ordered the smaller version of the Caesar Salad they have listed with the sides at only six bucks that was plenty and wow, this really impressed. Generous shaved parmesan slices, on fresh romaine greens, all lightly tossed in dressing that didn't overwhelm with "PERFECT" croutons. These light airy seasoned melt in my mouth cubes from heaven had me declaring this one hands down "first prize". (Nothing ruins a Caesar more than rock hard/store bought croutons. Bravo for this Pizza lounge. I had the Sauteed Salmon, and she decided on the Baseball Cut Sirloin. (No pizza tonight). Keeping all of the entrees just under twenty dollars is a smart move, since none a served with soup or salad. My salmon was was perfectly cooked laid on top of the mashed potatoes and served with fresh long green beans and carrot sticks. All bathing in a creamy saffron sauce. The portions were ample and well balanced. This was a delight and recommended for seafood lovers. The Steak was unfortunately a different matter. Ordering "medium rare" resulted in the fillet coming to the table under-cooked. Our waitress Lindsay apologized and returned the dish to the kitchen only to come back still under-cooked. Frustrated she came back this time with the cut "butterflied" by the kitchen resulting in part medium well (same piece of meat) the other OK, but dry. Lindsay took the steak off the bill right away as someone who knows how to salvage the evening with her awesome service, that included an ever present smile and cheerful disposition despite the situation. She also kept our beverages refilled while dealing with some other tables.The Passion Tea they serve here is very good, not too fruity. Pluses earned here. Opting for the Chocolate Mousse, it came in a tall narrow glass with sliced berries on top the whipped cream. It had good flavor and was denser than usual, not enough to really share. Wanted to go with the souffle' but didn't want to wait the customary twenty minutes, er wait they don't mention this on the menu, what is the reason for this omission? Precooking evolved? Say it isn't so! Overall, Lindsay your server, went way above and beyond to compensate for the inability of the kitchen staff to execute the only steak on the menu. Her effort earned Pizza Lounge a return visit from us. Please give her the accolades she deserves!

The ambiance is one of an old world neighborhood public house you would find while traveling in Ireland having stone and natural wood walls, low lighting, and candles with soft music playing during the dinner hours. If you want to sit up at the bar you wi

Found Patsy's shortly after Patsy and Don opened their special little pub and grew to know them and the other regulars. A great comfortable, friendly and fun establishment. Moved away in 90 but visit once or twice a year and even though the original owners are no longer in charge, it is still in the family and has only gotten better.

Had to try this establishment after a trip to Ireland. It's a cute replica of an Irish pub with snug and all. We ordered on the authentic side, Cottage Pie and Fish & Chips with a Guinness, plus a "Donnelly Visa" which is apparently a wine here...The place is fun, so wear your flat cap and cardigan and head on over.

This is a great place for lunch ( I have not had dinner there) with a menu that covers all palets. You can choose from outdoor seating, the bar area or the regular dining area. The service is very good and the menu items unique - I had the tuna tartare appetizer for my meal and it was perfect. My friend had the salmon salad and not only was it beautifully presented but, the salmon was excellent. It was served on top of a large salad with an assortment of farm to table ingredients and a lite dressing. The servers were professional and helped make our meal very enjoyable. I asked the people at the next table how they enjoyed their meals and they said everything was excellent . One person had the pasta and he said it was absolutely perfect!
