Located beside Selanne Steak Tavern in the historic Brayton Laguna Pottery Building, VIII by Selanne welcomes guests on Friday and Saturday evenings for an intimate, reservation-only tasting experience. VIII is structured as an VIII chapter arc — beginning with a Prelude, building through moments of warmth and crescendo, and concluding with a lingering Finale. Each chapter evolves with intention: light to warm, subtle to expressive, guiding guests through shifts in tone, texture, and emotion. Executive Chef Vincent Terusa and team craft each course within this narrative, while Sommelier Vito Pasquale curates pairings that echo the story’s rise and fall. With only 20 seats and one seating per evening, the experience is designed to be focused, unhurried, and fully immersive. Each evening at VIII unfolds in chapters. Each guest becomes part of its architecture.
“Nice place. Worth to try if you are in Laguna Beach.”
“Fantastic food and wine tasting experience. Very intimate and full of knowledgeable chefs and a sommelier to explain the dishes and wine to you. Excellent flavor experience that is one of a kind, and does not disappoint.”
“Awesome, "Michelin-esque" experience. Fantastic service, inventive dishes, and an awesome wine-pairing / cocktail program are the staples at VIII. Highly recommend! Do yourself a favor and book this amazing experience.”
“My brother took my mom and me to VIII by Selanne Steakhouse to celebrate our upcoming birthdays—and WOW, it was beyond amazing! From start to finish, it exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely delicious… and DO NOT sleep on the wine pairing!! It truly elevated every course and was reasonably priced for this type of menu. I’ve been to a few other restaurants with tasting menus, but this one was by far the most memorable and well worth it. The level of detail put into every dish and pairing really shows! We had such an amazing night—it was fun, flavorful, and felt really special. Definitely a birthday celebration to remember!!”
