Thank you Vibe, Dana Point.“

I love Old Town because there's just so many ways to spend your time, and money, with myriad places to shop and dine or just sit and relax at an outdoor cafe under sunny skies cooled by the gentle ocean breeze! End your daytime activities and come enjoy the vibrant night life atmosphere on the boulevard which is an exciting yet layed back place to socialize and always attracts both the young and old who seek to eat drink and have a good time!“

The side salad was good too.“

“Tried the new salad - the seasonal GOAT with apples. chicken, goat cheese, pink lady apples, dried cranberries, honey roasted almonds, pickled red onions, shaved fennel, fresh mint, romaine, kale, mixed greens, farmhouse vinaigrette, hot citrus honey. Yum.“

“I got to visit on 6/22 minutes before our group went to hang out at the beach. I ordered one of the popular smoothies, Chunky Monkey. I enjoyed my drink because I could taste the peanut butter, chocolaty flavors. The place was clean and had a nice wall of art of avocados. Next time, I want to try a sandwich or an avocado toast. There is plenty of seating outside. I would have given it five stars if they had a smaller size of cup just because I knew I didn't want too much.“

“Great sandwiches, a TV in every booth, very friendly staff that that take an unreasonable amount of time making those sandwiches, and the drink selection is severely lacking if you don't drink alcohol. Would recommend, but only if you have at least an hour to kill“

“They have wristband tech. for wine/beer.“

“I was originally planning to leave a 3.5 or 4-star review for Blaze Pizza, but something happened that encouraged me to change it to 5 stars. The quality of the pizzas was good for the price, although a part of the crust was slightly overcooked, and a bit more attention during baking would have helped. Still, overall, I’d say the quality was solid considering the price point.

In my order, I had included a Caesar salad, which I realized was missing when I got home. I called the restaurant to let them know, and after checking my email later, I saw they had refunded part of the cost. This level of customer service truly impressed me and convinced me to add that extra star.“
