Second time visitor to the Craft House (first was sometime in 2019). Wife and I shared the Smashburger, the Fall salad, topped off by the Butter Cake. All were well prepared and taste was amazing. My one regret is that I've not been here since 2019, I'll most definitely not wait so long before returning.

Service was great. Food was delicious! Prices decent. A little loud but better away from the bar area.

Had brunch here and was happily stuffed all day! The chicken Cesar salad was delicious and the house mimosas were only $5. We had the guava and they were delish! The dipping sauce for the tots was tasty and the tots themselves were perfectly fried. Our waitress was great! My dog was comfortable on the patio. Would recommend and revisit!

We went here to celebrate our anniversary and it was lovely! Food was very delicious, service was great, and the atmosphere was perfect. It was pretty packed but not too loud that it took away from the atmosphere. It was very pleasant and we will be back!!

Hostess less than friendly. Food was subpar - potato tacos mostly tasted like oil, fish was dry and filet in stroganoff was chewy.

Worst experience ever. They’re trying to be Coastal Kitchen, but they’re simply not! Just as my dinner arrived, the “Floor manager” (meaningless title), Courtney, asked me to move from my table to the worst little table on the patio to accommodate other guests because they had dogs and couldn’t sit inside (why is this my problem?). So do I have this right? I arrive early, am seated and am later asked to move to a terrible table so that people with loud and poorly behaved dogs can have adequate seating!? Terribly insulting and indicative of what an awful restaurant this is. This was my third and last try at Craft House. There are many wonderful restaurants in the Lantern district with inventive menus and lovely service. Don’t waste your money on this disrespectful hovel. Cold food, ugly dark decor. Simply not worth the money. Go to Cracker Barrel instead.

Love the Craft House - the food is reliably delicious and the servers are really good about making recommendations. We like to get the spicy crispy tuna and the burrata salad.

Stopped by Craft House in Dana Point on a Saturday afternoon and grabbed a seat on the patio with my family. Their happy hour was amazing. Great selection of drinks and shareable bites at really solid prices. Staff was super welcoming, friendly, and on top of everything without hovering. Loved the location, loved the value, and honestly the whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. If you’re in Dana Point and want a laid-back spot with good food, good drinks, and great service, Craft House is a win. I’ll definitely be back!
A great family birthday get-together. Friendly atmosphere, great service and good food! Came early so parking was easy too...

Very loud. Heavy consumption by patrons that lead to poor voice volume control and respect towards those sitting around said consumer(s). Work staff hangs out with their “friend” patrons and have “at home” type conversations discussing personal topics not appropriate for other surrounding guests.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party here the night before our wedding and couldn’t have been happier.
We reserved the private dining room in the back for a seated dinner with family and our wedding party, then welcomed a little over 100 guests for small bites and drinks. The night was a blast. The staff took wonderful care of everyone, the food was outstanding, and guests kept raving about the great vibe at Craft House. Blake and team were easy to work with and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend Craft House!
