“We had a wonderful experience at the Monarch Beach Bay Club. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For our main dishes, the swordfish was fresh and beautifully prepared, and the bolognese was rich and delicious.

The beachfront views were truly extraordinary and made the entire meal feel special. Sitting right by the ocean, with the sound of the waves and the open coastal atmosphere, really elevated the experience.

Great food, an incredible setting, and an overall relaxed yet refined vibe. We will definitely be back.“

“I give 5 stars for this restaurant from the Deliamar shop with support and respect Great food and great service.“

“I'm from the South and can enjoy a good fast food burger. Must say that this is a great lil hidden gem. After a day on the boat, nice to swing by and grab a burger, fries and a ice cold soda! Only challenge here is getting in and out of A's. When PCH is backed up, that turn can take a some patience especially on the weekend. Otherwise, smooth sailing!“

“I am from Texas and staying at the INN across the street. my son and I loved it. Can definitely taste its homemade. The service was excellent and we definitely had leftovers to take with us.“

“Very nice place. The Brussels sprouts were tasty, and the hummus plate was also very good. We ate outside. Service was very good. The parking can be a challenge at times, but we found a spot. The restaurant is INSIDE the center, so the sign is not visible (that I could see) from the outside. When Google brought us here, we thought we might have taken a wrong turn.“

“I’ve never had a bad meal at the Craft House. Every single thing I’ve ordered was delicious. Kate & Nate are the very best and make dining there so fun!!! I could eat there every day!!!!“

“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’ve been going here for years and years. This staff is incredible. They are about to change management and I hope you keep all the same ladies that have been there for years. I get treated badly at so many restaurants because of how I look and they are always so kind and always have a smile on their faces when I walk in because I used to be a super regular. These are incredible women and I hope they stay if they want.“

“Such a great location and amazing experience! The food was amazing and the customer service was out of this world. Something you don’t see every single day and I really appreciate that. I came here on my lunch break and Ed took care of me. I placed an online to go order and he remembered my name and made sure I had all my utensils and sauces. He also offered me a cup of ice for my water which I really appreciated. He goes above and beyond in his work and I really appreciate that. Thank you, Ed. I will be back for sure.“

“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 food and drinks. A locals favorite. 😍“

“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.“

“Best Thai food in South OC by far!! Not my first time here and I'm an avid Thai food eater. Their pad Thai is probably my favorite in Orange county, lots of sauce and great flavors. And their chicken is bomb in everything including the tom kah soup, which is also top 2 in my book of over 100 different Thai restaurants. Great service, they are nice and I can't say enough! Keep up the great work!“

“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!“

“Can’t recommend Lupe’s enough. We always have to stop at this location on our way back home to San Diego from LA. We think it’s the best Cali burrito in the area. The best part is they’re not stingy with their salsas or the ingredients in their burritos. The service is always fast and amazing!!“

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

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

“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!“

“Very down to earth place, great service and good food. Big plates. Puts me in a food coma when I'm done and you can bring your dog! I feel it's a little pricey. But, who isn't pricey today. It's that or shut the doors. I'll visit again.“

“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“

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

“Great foods and service!!“
