7 Best Steakhouses near Dana Point

“Our server Geo was amazing! And the whole server team really treated us like royalty. Drinks and food were absolutely divine. One of the best steaks I’ve had in my life. And side dishes were quite generous. Great way to celebrate my birthday.“

“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!“

“Great ambience and service, but the food was the star. Had the black pepper and thyme loaf, grilled shrimp, wedge salad, rib eye, strip loin and loaded baked potato and all were excellent. Didn't have room for dessert, but we'll be back for the sticky toffee pudding.“

“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.“

“Celebrated our 11th anniversary here and it was perfect. Zack the host took great care of us right from the start. When we were about to sit down, someone tried to step in and grab our table, but Zack held it for us and seated us at the best spot on the rooftop. We really appreciated how attentive he was.

Greg and Lisa were our servers, and they were both so kind and genuine throughout the evening. My wife and I were enjoying a rare weekend away from the kids, and the three of them made our night feel truly special. The food was excellent and the rooftop setting in Laguna is beautiful.“
