7 Best Steakhouses near Dana Point

“Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina at the hotel was a really great experience. The menu has a lot of variety, which made it easy for us to find something we liked. They have an extensive wine list, and they even make cocktails right at the table. My wife ordered the smoked Old Fashioned, and it was cool to watch them prepare it tableside.For dinner, we both got steaks that were cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. I had the New York strip and my wife had the filet. Thomas and his team took great care of us throughout the night. It ended up being one of our more memorable dining experiences, and we would definitely go back.“

“The food? IMPECCABLE. I went with a large group of friends and we decided to try just about everything, sharing around the table. Yum! Best. Idea. Ever. The Ambiance was just as we had hoped - ideal for us to comfortably hang out and yap a bit. It was a perfectly fun and inviting atmosphere. The service? AMAZING. We had Mikey as our server. He was so fun, so attentive, so friendly. You'd think he was just one of our group. He made us feel welcome and watched over. I can't wait to come back to Salt Creek! And, Yes! We are asking for Mikey! So should you!“

“The food was DELICIOUS, starting with the crab and chorizo corn chowder, the pasta-less beet ravioli was a neat and tasty dish too. Our steaks were cooked exactly as ordered and were flavorful and portioned nicely. Mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese were top notch too.
Service was exceptional, everyone seemed to love their jobs - lots of pride and professionalism. Absolutely satisfied and will be back.“

“Had dinner again with our favorite server, Eleasha. She never skips a beat. She’s always smiling and keeps us on our toes laughing. Love coming to see her when we are in town. Sirloin was great tonight. But we don’t come for the food. ❤️❤️“

“Excellent service and the food is incredible. Highly recommended if you enjoy a good steak and incredible drinks.“

“I love Maro's! As a local, this is my go-to spot for fresh, healthy dishes like the green beans and shishito peppers. The empanadas, especially the mushroom ones, are delicious. While I enjoy most of the entrées on the menu, my favorite is the bone-in filet—super yummy! The owners and staff are always on duty and aim to please, making you feel like family. The ambiance is great too, whether you choose to sit indoors or outdoors. For a more intimate setting, sitting indoors is perfect, but if you want to enjoy the fresh ocean breeze, the outdoor patio is the way to go.“

“Great table on the roof, great service, and delicious pork chop. It was disappointing that the rack of lamb was removed from the menu. And the requirement to guarantee to spend $100 a person if I want to guarantee a table on the roof was ridiculous. This isn't Beverly Hills. This left a bad taste in my mouth starting my night. I'm glad we arrived early for our 5:30 pm reservation and had no trouble getting a rooftop table.“
