About

K'ya Laguna is the ground-floor counterpart to the hotel's rooftop: a tapas bar inside La Casa del Camino, the 1929 Spanish-style hotel on South Coast Highway. Arched windows run along one wall, tables sit between potted plants, and the mood stays easygoing. The name has history here. The original K'ya Bistro was a casual local favorite in this hotel for about 16 years before it closed in 2020. After two other restaurants passed through the space, K'ya came back as K'ya Laguna in February 2026. The menu is built for sharing. Handheld bites include chipotle chicken skewers, coconut shrimp, bacon-wrapped blue cheese dates and Angus beef sliders. From land and sea come hibachi salmon bites, steak filet bites, lobster mac and cheese, ahi poke and crab cakes, and the garden side of the menu offers Caesar salad, caprese skewers and spiced cauliflower bites. Finish with tiramisu or pistachio cake. Most plates run about $7 to $20. Happy hour runs from 3 to 6 pm, Tuesday through Sunday, with rotating $5 tapas, $5 sangria, house wine and bottled beer. Live music plays Thursday through Sunday. When the sun starts to drop, The Rooftop Lounge is upstairs in the same building.
