“I used to be a skeptic about those chain steak houses, believing they were overpriced and couldn’t cook steaks to perfection. However, I was pleasantly surprised this time. Every dish was delicious, and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The smoked ones were particularly delightful. The service was excellent, and we had a great time overall.“

“Came here a couple nights before a wedding event.

We had a later reservation and upon entering we learned that technically the restaurant closes at that time, but since the system accepted our reservation they were staying open for us.

Not once did they rush us or make us feel bad. There were 10 of us and 2 little kids. They had all the patience in the world and infact were insistent for us to take our time and enjoy the amazing food.

The meal itself was very nice and I would highly recommend this spot for great Italian food. The restaurant is very big and the outdoor space is cute!“

“This has got to be some of the best poke in SoCal! Their fish is super fresh and the sauce doesn't mute the flavors of the fish. Everything is added carefully and you can choose any topping you want to add in making the meal very filling if you get a large! I left their ahi, salmon, octopus combo. It was so good!“

“Food we chose was from the vegetarian menu. We ordered the family meal for 3 people. They even made a substitute for egg roles. Very nice employees at the Dana Point restaurant. Will be going back again.

Vegetarian options: Check out the menu.“

“The service at Thai This is beyond compare, every employee there is friendly, helpful, and helps to create a great experience whether eating in to-go. We walked in to order to-go food and they seated us and brought us bottled water, again, service beyond compare. Now to the food, the Crispy Noodles (#1) are to die for...makes a great dessert. The Nutty Noodles chicken (#54) were great, and the Kiss Me Not garlic pork was so flavorful. They also included some tempura vegetables which were super yummy. So if you're looking for yummy food, at a great price, and with incredible service, Thai This should be your next dinner night out.“

“Consistently Fantastic Brunch Spot Near the Marriott!

Every time we stay at the Marriott Laguna Cliffs in Dana Point, we make a point to walk over to What A Dish for brunch, and it never disappoints. The outdoor seating is charming and relaxed, perfect for soaking in the coastal vibe.

This visit was no exception, the food was absolutely delicious. Everything we ordered was spot-on, flavorful, and came out quickly. You order at the counter, but don’t let that fool you, the service is top-notch. The staff was incredibly attentive, regularly checking in to top off coffee and water, and making sure we had everything we needed.

What really impressed me is how consistently every staff member went out of their way to be helpful and kind. Everyone had a smile, and the whole experience gave off warm, happy vacation energy. You do tip at the time of ordering, which can be a gamble at some places, but here the service went above and beyond. Honestly, one of the best service experiences I’ve had anywhere. This is how it should be handled everywhere.

Can’t recommend this spot enough if you’re in Dana Point. Great food, great vibes, and genuinely lovely people. We’ll be back, again and again!“

“We stayed at the Waldorf Astoria however the Monarch Bay Beach Club shined-Our server Kristen was absolutely fantastic! Attentive, friendly, and truly made our experience feel special from start to finish. Manager Mado also went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us [unfortunately the Waldorf didn't do anything special for our celebration] The food was absolutely delicious, and we chose the Beach Club for our meals over the resort. Kristen and Mado turned our stay and experience around!“

“great environment!!! great food!! great service! pool tables!!music app! GREAT FOOD!!“

“I liked the food here, the staff was always checking in and filling up the complementary salasa and chips. I got the veggie chimichanga and my wife got the wet burrito. I really appreciated them working with my customisation of making it a veggie chimichanga, however, I wish they have a side of the rice and beans which would normally be in there. Other than that, I think the overall food tasted good. We also liked their drinks, we tried the Spicy Mango and the michelada. This was a cute date spot, definitely on the little pricer side bht still good.“

“Best Place in Dana Point best margaritas“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Absolutely phenomenal Thai food! This place exceeded all my expectations from the warm, welcoming service to the explosion of flavors in every dish. We ordered the Pad Thai and platter sample - everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.

You can tell they use fresh ingredients and put real heart into their cooking. The staff was so kind and attentive, even offering recommendations based on our spice preferences. Cozy atmosphere, fair prices, and generous portions - what more could you ask for?

Definitely my new go-to Thai spot. Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, delicious Thai cuisine! 🙌🍜🇹🇭 next time I am going to try Tom Yam soup“

“Best bagels in town! I only wish they carried a lactose free cream cheese, but I order mine toasted plain and add my own cream cheese at home. The service is amazing and everyone is always so kind and happy. The drink selection is fantastic and there are boundless combinations you can create with the flavors and spread or topping options. I really do love I love bagels“

“Great sports bar with great food options. I highly recommend the Thai pasta and pizza. Wings are perfect and cocktails are amazing!!!“

“Amazing sushi, with many fresh specials of the day - it’s popular and we had to wait a short while for a table, but we didn’t mind and it was really worth it. All the classics perfectly executed, and many new combinations for special rolls. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend!“

“La Barra is an excellent Mexican restaurant and bar right here in Dana Point. In the Albertsons shopping center. The food is fresh and full of flavor, and the service is always friendly and attentive.
I've been coming here to get work done rather than being in my home office all day. Whether you’re coming in for dinner or just drinks, it’s a great spot to relax and enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend!“

“👍 Great food and drinks. A locals favorite. 😍“

“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 live the avocado salad and they are generous with their scoops of the spicy tuna!!“

“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!“

“The food was so delicious.“

“Awesome. Colorful. Quick. Clean. A+++.“

“Comprehensive menu in a casual family style restaurant. Indoor booths and tables and outdoor tables. Free parking. Friendly staff. Everything from sandwiches, breakfasts, to full dinners. Not noisy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for wheelchair access“

“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 late night bar, live music inside, good drinks and cool outside venue.

Lots of friendly people and they have two seperate bars in one. Inside venue for music and a LARGE outdoor patio for kicking with friends.

Service is good, but they could use another bartender on staff for Friday and Saturday nights“

“nice breakfast this morning, always enjoy HH Cafe when we visit.“
