In the summer of 2003, restaurant veteran Thomas Simms, founder of Mimi's Cafe, and his entrepreneurial son, Chris, joined forces to open the Lazy Dog Cafe. It has quickly become a favorite dining destination for families, young professionals and grandparents alike thanks to its eclectic menu, cozy yet cosmopolitan design and unwavering commitment to quality. The restaurants’ spacious interior incorporates contemporary style with rustic materials creating a uniquely sophisticated ambiance while remaining comfortably casual and, most importantly, fun. Guests will never be bored with the varied menu that includes influences from Italy, South America, China, France and classic America. The spacious bar at the Lazy Dog Cafe offers full lunch and dinner menus in a dynamic, upbeat and energetic environment complete with several high-definition plasma televisions for watching the big games. Combine that with a vast selection of draft beers, a full wine list and a wide range of specialty drinks, and it is no surprise that the Lazy Dog Cafe has become one of Southern California's favorite hang-outs. Whether you're hosting an important business lunch or having dinner with the kids, The Lazy Dog Cafe gives you the quality and consistency you should expect for a price that will surprise you.
