Great view and okay selection of small plates. We went here on a weekday afternoon. Seating at Restaurant Raya was 39 minutes wait hence we decided to have a drink and small plate at 180Blu. There were not many people but still service was very slow. We ordered fries, taco and oysters.Oysters were fresh and good.The view is fantastic. Order s glass of wine or champagne and enjoy the view.Parking: Parking is valet and it is $30 for day time valet.

The food and the views at 180blũ were amazing! I had the surf and turf tacos, which were delicious. The meat was cooked well and all the ingredients tasted very fresh and bright. The service here was also great. Highly recommend visiting and having a relaxing meal outside.

Not a fan of the waitress Rose. Seems to be kurt and short with her mannerisms. Not the best representation of the Ritz.

One of my fav place in Dana Point on a bluff of the ocean where we were married. Most beautiful scenic view of the beach and sunset.

Scenic date spot for a Friday night. The best part about this place is the views. Stunning view of the Pacific Ocean, Salt Creek Beach, and grounds of the Ritz Carlton. Fair warning, though, the staff mentioned they won’t be bringing out space heaters until the new year, and it does get chilly on the oceanfront, so I recommend wearing a couple layers at least.The menu was very typical for New American cuisine, and everything was fresh and tasty. We got the ahi tuna and truffle fries. The ahi tuna was accompanied by quintessential California condiments, avocado and blue corn chips. The truffle fries were hot and crispy. I get them everywhere and can confirm these were up to standard. I felt a bit dehydrated, so I opted for a mocktail. I was recommend the Fresh Press, and it was a perfect blend of berries and bubbles.Definitely recommend this secluded gem in South Orange County!
Table for one this time. But an overall nice experience. Started at the bar for a brief wait. Then seated quickly for my 7:30 reservation and a very enjoyable meal and excellent service.

ripoff, poor service, low quality foods, and way overpriced. one non-alcoholic drink will cost you $25 (incl tax n 15% tip). tacos were charred on the outside, had one shrimp cut into pieces, mediocre taste, 2 for $30s. swordfish dish was two kabob scewers with 4 small bite size cubes, dry and way overcooked $30s. lobster grilled cheese, tasted okay, but $40s. sweet potato fries came out soggy, they keep changing menu (ie chefs?) and servers so the service isnt good either, they would bring out our food different times with significant delay so we all had to start eating at different time and now they get your credit card at the time you order??? in the end you have spent a lot of money but everyone in your party will still be hungry so you will be eating dinner somewhere else soon. we suggest eat somewhere better and just walk in to see view...

The food choices are limited, but the food is yummy and it cines from their upscale restaurant nextdoor. The views are well worth the price. There are conditions under which the staff get really overwhelmed for example when there is a huge line and it starts to drizzle. Yet, when there is not too much traffic, which is also when you want to be there they are friendly, helpful and capable.
