“A local owner (went to the local high school back in the day) who's involved in the community. Oh, and a great Cali beer selection for all tastes (changes frequently) delivered with genuinely good service. Cheers!Parking: Close to harbor, coastal views (1 block away), and many restaurants.“
“Homeslice is perfect! Great variety on the menu however not overwhelming or all over- just delightfully dialed in. Pizza is super flavorful but not heavy. Atmosphere is energizing and “homey” at the same time. Staff is super attentive, warm and patient.“
“Just had my first visit here, and it certainly won't be my last! I absolutely adore the super cool beachy atmosphere right here in Dana Point. The burger was spot on, incredibly delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. I think I've just discovered my new favorite burger spot!“
“I've been here before but this time around was the best visit. The server Shane had the best service and recommendations. He told me to start with the cocojito. That drink tasted great! I got a couple entrees as well. While eating my fries, Shane told me about their "secret sauce" and ran to the back to get me a side of it. The cherry on top was being able to watch all the NBA games. They had the warriors game on the big screen. Ambiance for sports fans is top tier. I will be definitely be coming back!“
“We love this place because it is mostly outside, has an upbeat vibe, and even when it is cool, they have plenty of heaters to keep you warm. There is no real table service, but there is a great beer selection, (they consistently have Pliny The Elder), and the food is average, but I don't eat beef. My husband and son rave about the burgers. Will we come back? Yes. Why? Beer and Burgers, (I'll keep eating fish and salad.. lol)“
“Stop by this place after brunch around the corner and decided to do the blind test of three different wines ..I'm far from an expert or anything but we did enjoyed and had fun trying to guess what our wines were. If you guess it right, you get it free!! lol Also ordered a charcuterie board Sat at the patio. Wanted to go to the upper level but they had a private party going on. It sounded fun! Hey, so if you're having some sort of private event, maybe you should consider the idea of looking up this place. Service was attentive. We had our dog with us and they were nice enough to let us bring her to the patio area with us and enjoy the sunny weather.“
“I didn't know i could LOVE indian food until i visited Kiaan's. Oh my good gravy..... So tasty!!! I do not do spicy AT ALL so appealing to my taste buds can be challenging. Amrit couldn't have been more accommodating and assured me i would be happy. He was right. The chicken curry was my favorite. It was so creamy and smooth and delicious. The naan was perhaps the best i have had...loaded with butter and garlic flavors. The service could not be more excellent; the perfect mix of friendly and prompt and so comfortable. I know the restaurant is owner/ family operated and the attention to detail and care shows. Fine dining complete with white tablecloths and napkins. So very elegant and yet pricing was so reasonable!!I know they are now open 7 days a week and i cannot wait to come back with my husband! Such a wonderful addition to Talega in San Clemente. THE BEST!“
“Another fabulous dining experience at Brussels Bistro. We celebrated my husband's birthday here on the All You Can Eat Mussels night. He was in heaven. Our server, Abby, was excellent and lovely. This restaurant is a true gem in San Clemente.“
“I am a long time Brewhouse customer and there's a reason. They have a great selection and a great atmosphere. The staff are very accommodating, reasonable, and friendly. The owners are very cool people. There's also live music, trivia night, food events, and other cool stuff from time to time. Great place, I can't recommend it enough.“
“Very comfortable, casual, fun place! Had the pretzel- it was delicious. Our bartender, Maddie, was super nice, informative, and attentive, even coming around a few times to clear empties. I don't drink currently, but their NA Bravus was a great option. Recommend for chill vibes!“
“Had an AMAZING experience at the Left Coast Brewing Company. It's a small but well-run establishment with a ton of great options on tap. It attracts a really chill crowd: there was literally a patron with her newborn. Very family friendly, warm, and positive. I went here for trivia night, and we had a total blast. There's no food at the brewery since it's a smaller space and it's really not in a location built for heavy duty kitchen work, but they were totally cool with us bringing food in and even gave us recommendations for local spots! I'm not even a beer drinker but I enjoyed trying their different offerings and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked them!They even have a little mini arcade setup and cards against humanity. They put a ton of thought into curating a space for community and good old fashioned fun. Restrooms were SO clean and there were a men's and women's room which feels so rare at bars! The women's room even had multiple stalls, which was so convenient. Pitchers of water were free (and quite frankly, the water was delicious), and there was fun, clean music playing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun place for all ages to enjoy. It's hard to find a place that's welcoming to non-drinkers and younger people, while also still offering plenty of alcoholic options. So many establishments strive to create the third place, and Left Coast Brewing Company hits it on the head.“
“Board and brew always has excellent food, experience in the restaurant is always enjoyable. I'm not much of a beer guy but my dad enjoys their beers. Had a rough experience on 3/13 and the manager reached out on 3/14 asking for clarification so he could educate his team and apologized for the inconvenience.“
“Man this place is always packed. They pump out food like crazy! We do a lot of online ordering here and the food is always great but sometimes we get jipped on extra sauces we order! Could say it’s my fault for not checking but it’s so fricken packed a lot of times I just want to duck my head and get outta there!“
“This is not your usual Pizza Kitchen-this is magic!Chef David and his amazing team source the best local ingredients mixed with some of the best imported grain to ensure the highest quality flavor. More than that-the team pours their love into every dish!Be sure to ask about what they are working on as they may give a sneak peak.Hands down best in South Orange County!“
“I can’t begin to explain how friendly, efficient and comfortable this establishment is.The minute you walk through the door the staff always greets you with a smile and offer you the soup of the day.Once you sit down the staff is consistently checking on you.if you want water or if they can help you with your trash or ask you how the foods tasting.It’s hard to find a place that offers everything from the local games to the big games, great beer and absolutely perfect service.If you have a chance check out the bar top and ask Hector what new beer is on tap. He’s always willing to take the time and share the new arrivals.Nothing beats good customer service and great food.“
“ONE of the best sandwiches in LADERA! Fresh~ healthy ~ and tasty. Good prices, I will promote these guys, cause I miss Togo's sandwiches, I hate to see our sandwich shops leave our amazing community. The RASHER BOYZ are big fans of this restaurant. Luv ya, please stick around!“
“Pizza was goodAllergy riskThe gluten free pizza is made in the same oven as regular pizza. They call it gluten friendly.It's also hit or miss if they have the gluten free crusts.If you order online check your cart closely at checkout, if something is unavailable it will auto cancel out even if you added it. You might think you ordered it but you really didn't. They won't charge you, but you won't get it.All the pizzas are basically large personal pizzas.“
“Good cozy atmosphere and excellent service. We had breakfast which was very good. The coffee here has very good flavor and is fresh. Wished the meal came with a bread item like: toast, biscuit, english muffin etc. The food was well prepared and the cajun potatoes were excellent. I would recommend.“
“aPizza Doho is one of the best new restaurants to pop up in Dana Point. The pizzas are creative and flavors are always on point. Service team is fantastic - always a great experience and welcoming vibe. Personal favorites are the Stingray pizza, the Frito Misto appetizer and the Doho Chop salad. Also their lunch special is the best deal in town and can easily feed 2-3 people. Parking is challenging in the center, but the fight for a spot is worth it for aPizza Doho!“
