Having driven by probably hundreds of times, last night we decided to stop in and have dinner here last night for the first time. We were immediately greeted sat a very nice large booth (there were 2 of us). The decor was upscale but not too much for us in casual attire. Our server, Blake, came to the table within a couple of minutes. Super polite friendly. Asked for our drink order ... we asked for glasses of Pinot Noir Pinot Grigio, whatever he recommended. He returned with a couple samples his suggestions were great. After reviewing the menu, we we both decided to split a ceased salad both ordered the Flat Iron steak fries with Chimichurri. I replaced my fries with creamy mashed potatoes...
I was given a gift certificate for Whitestone and what a wonderful gift it was as it enticed me to make a visit to a restaurant I have driven past many times but never stoped in for a meal. I made a reservation for 2 at 6:30 on a Tuesday evening and was promptly seated in the dinning room area. Dinning room very nicely appointed and relaxing at the same time. Our sever informed us of the daily specials and we selected two of them for our main dishes, the Chilean Sea Bass and the Short Rib over mashed potatoes. For our starter we got the sautéed calamari in a wonderful red sauce. The excellent calamari was the start of an amazing meal. Both the Sea Bass and Short rib were excellently prepared...
From the first phone call to get directions to the restaurant, the service, the food and the atmosphere was the best ! We've dined in all the best restaurants in Orange County living in laguna Beach since 1978. It was a great new experience, the design and decor was beautiful, from the table linens to the wine, the salad starters, the main course of large fileted prawns, to the Butter cake desert, all was top notch... One of our very favorites...
Have been here a few times for happy hour specials, which are very good. Met a friend here last night, and it did not disappoint. Upon suggestion from Austin, the bartender, we tried the octopus on the main menu--it was off the hook good! We also had the fish tacos, which are our fav happy hour special. The wine selection is very good. Live music that started at 7:00 was not overly loud and really well done. We had a delightful Friday night!

I celebrated my birthday dinner here tonight and it was excellent. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and tasty. The service was exceptional with our server Massimo. The staff was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I really appreciated the birthday brownie. The ambiance was perfect with a nice vibe and clean, coastal chic decor. I will definitely be returning here again.
This place is amazing. I adore the outdoor patio with the lovely fireplace. The service is exceptional and the food is delicious. I highly recommend White Stone!
Wonderful experience. Beautiful restaurant, food delicious, service excellent, quite-able to hear one another speak and they had parking. Definitely going back.
Excellent service and food. We have been back several times! We really liked that after 2 visits we are considered regulars.
