Outer Reef Restaurant at Laguna Cliffs Marriott
Sneak peek at renovation nearly complete
July 30, 2020
The new Outer Reef restaurant is set to open soon at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa in Dana Point, California. We recently completed a $3+ million renovation of the hotel’s restaurant and bar, renamed Outer Reef, which features a new 1,000-gallon saltwater aquarium by Oceans Aquarium Design. Two horn sharks have just been added to the tank, which can be seen from both the bar and the private dining/meeting room on the other side.

Chef John Tesar, a four-time James Beard-nominated chef, and contestant on Bravo’s “Top Chef”, will showcase the property’s renowned beachfront location with a curated sea-to-table surf and turf dining concept, providing guests with an experience of the highest quality.

Key team members include senior designer Brian Husting; project manager William Martin; Oceans Aquarium Design; Design Atelier (interiors); The Sam Tell companies (kitchen consultant); MHP (structural); BKF (MEP); Eng (civil); Greey Pickett (landscape); Builders; and Kloss Group (project management).

Other renovations underway by our team include upgrades to the hotel's entry drive and exterior function lawn.
