“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.“

Very memorable visit would definitely come back.“

“We had intended to go to a different restaurant this night and stumbled upon Carmelita’s and I’m so glad we did! This was my first time in and everything was super good. Taste was excellent, atmosphere was great, sat outside, but beyond everything the service was remarkable. We sat at Eddie’s table and he greeted us with such care and intention, we thought he was the owner of the restaurant. He was so kind, funny, personable, and had great recommendations on the food. He even made a drink special to my preferences and assured me that if I didn’t like it, he would replace. It was perfect, and didn’t need replacement but he was truly above and beyond. We were laughing with him and we’ll definitely be back.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. The customer service is above and behind. The street tacos are my favorite. It melts in your mouth so good. We have had many things off their menu. Nothing disappoints. The selection is huge and everything you could order will be the best. Enjoy you will certainly be back.“

“I had the chocolate coffee ice cream in a cone and oh my gosh it was so delicious!! The ice cream was soft and creamy. There were small flecks of chocolate but it didn’t overwhelm the coffee ice cream. I definitely will return for more! 😊“

“This is a stellar restaurant with a great family-owned vibe. Chef Rob is brilliant and the apps, entrees, and desserts are all exquisite. His creativity that he lets loose in his Flight Club events is unparalleled. They have extra-friendly staff and elite customer service. And the fine dining experience comes with a fair price and an amazing value. Check it out and meet the Chef, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Food: Sushi rolls were excellent and pretty competitive prices. My favorite was the caterpillar. Fish quality was excellent. Avocado and cucumber was fresh and sushi didn't taste like it had sugar in it which was excellent.!

Service: Sucks. They are impatient, rude, and quick to walk away and pretend they didn't hear you. For example I asked if a waiter could remove a plate. He ignored me and signaled at the busboy to pick up the plate instead. Even the busboy realized that was odd.“

“Clean, fresh vegetables in their meals. Excellent dishes, wide choice.“

“I was most impressed with the forbidden rice rolls: ichiban, black widow, and Kamakazi rolls. Unlike most black rice, the rice was not hard but still soft like white rice with a nutty taste to add to the flavor profile. I also loved the fried onions on top of the Ichiban and Black Widow which really added flavor and texture. The Kamakazi had a nice chili oil to it which was pretty creative.

The service was friendly and fast. The ambience was nice with both indoor and heated outdoor space (great views). I recommend it as a nice casual date or family gathering.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Thai Dara Dana Point!

This is our go to spot and the food is consistently excellent and the service is amazing. Fern and Eke are the best and will make you feel so welcome and taken care of. It’s the most charming atmosphere and we’ve never had anything other than a great experience here and we’ve been going for years. Highly recommend the Tom Kha Soup, pad Thai, and crying tiger. Oh and ginger tea.

Thank you Thai Dara for always a great experience.“

“Al Fresco Dining at Aveo Table + Bar located at the Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point. Loved the 7 Curry Pancake and Local Fisherman's Halibut. They need to bring those Apple Fritter donuts on the menu!“

“Gotta love Hennessy
It's a standard. Here or SJC... or one of their many locations out always delivers
They're all a scene. So it's different depending on time and season regarding crowd and staff
But that's kinda part of the fun
I found they have consistently good eats and beverages and as with any restaurant they've got stand out servers/staff and some times some duds 😋
Great place to meet up, listen to some tunes and generally just pop in for a drink
I recommend it!“

“Best in class. Green bean fries are the bomb!“

“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 food with excellent service… great views with a cool indoor atmosphere … our go to spot when in the area!“
