“I was at a conference Last month and a I mentioned that I was gonna be going to Southern California for a couple weeks. They told me that if I can get to San Juan Capistrano that I need to stop into the Five Vines Wine Bar and try their 20-year-old pork. They were not exaggerating. Unbelievably good. I also had a burger and garlic fries and if you ask for it, they’ll give you pineapple teriyaki sauce for the burger. 👍👍“

“Just ate here today for the first time and the pizza was amazing!! I ordered the bbq chicken and my friend got pepperoni. The crust was insanely delicious and crispy! Cheese to toppings ratio was on point! The mozzarella cheese sticks were also very good! And to top it all off, the customer service was 💯!! Highly recommend!!“

“The food was amazing! Delicious focaccia with marinara to start, then amazing short rib ravioli, and finally a delicious Margherita pizza. The dough is excellent! Nice and thin- chewy edges full of light air bubbles! Excellent wine choices and our server was very helpful with her suggestions!“

“Love this place for a great glass or bottle of wine, and good conversations. Great before dinner reservation place for wine and charcuterie board or after for wine and chocolate. And if it’s a good night, both lol 😂“

“Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. I also really liked the atmosphere, it felt modern, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed.

The hidden speakeasy concept is such a fun and unique touch. It makes the experience feel much more memorable than just going out for dinner.

It also seems like it may be Asian-owned, and I’d love to see more businesses like this. Great food, creative ideas, and excellent execution. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends!“

“My fiance and I were in the area for my nephew's wedding. On Sunday morning, we looked for a breakfast location. We prefer the small local restaurants as opposed to the chains. Up popped this Laguna Cafe, close by where we were staying. From the time we entered the door, it was obvious we picked the right spot! it was cozy, homey, friendly and downright delicious. The clientele were all laughing, enjoying the morning and the atmosphere. We got served by Monja, the proprietor, who wore a shirt with our favorite scripture, John 3:16. As we bowed our heads to pray, she gently joined us in prayer. What a blessing. Needless to say, we will go back when in the area. Highly recommend the food too! And say Hi to Monja from Mark and Dianne from Arizona!“

“Love this place! The owners are wonderful people. Every time I go I feel like I’m family. The wines are amazing (try the Olsen’s Ovation), and they are huge supporters of the live music community. Please support this incredible local business ❤️“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“The Pizza Crust here is superb! Thicky, chewy, and crusty on the outside. Service was also great. Very attentive and were accommodating for both our 3 month old and two small dogs.“

“OC Wine Mart & Deli is truly a special place! Laura, Pablo, Fernando and John go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family, and their hospitality goes far beyond just great food and drinks.
What really stands out is the personal touch and genuine kindness they show to everyone who comes through the door. They remember you, take the time to make you feel comfortable, and create an experience that feels warm, welcoming, and authentic.
The food is wonderful, but it’s the people that make OC Wine Mart & Deli such a memorable place. Laura, Pablo, Fernando and John have created an atmosphere where hospitality truly means something. You leave feeling like you’ve spent time with good friends and family.
Thank you all for making every visit so enjoyable and for sharing not only your food, but your kindness and warmth with your guests. ❤
Highly recommend OC Wine Mart & Deli—you’ll come for the food and stay for the wonderful people!“

“Love Neapolitan! Great service. Terrific selection. Our pizza was so tasty - crust and light sauce Yum! The Caprese Buratta was fresh and creamy. Fabulous, decadent dessert options. Very nice wine and beer list. Will return. Definitely recommend.“

“Phenomenal experience every time! If you are not a member of the Rancho Capistrano wine club you are missing out!!!!“

“My best friend and I had lunch there today. The food was excellent, my dirty martini was perfect (and much needed!), and our server, Jacob, was fabulous. We made a pact that we will meet there at least once a month. Thank you for a great afternoon! 🍸“

“I’ve been coming here for years and always like everything. They have a very clean kitchen and warm, friendly staff. Something that absolutely blew my mom and I away recently was the artichoke dip. Yum!! It is so fresh and delish!!“

“Me gustó mucho el servicio atendieron rápido, personal amable y sirvieron muy rápido y sobre todo la comida muy rica thanks.“

“The best Italian food in Orange County. Happy hour is great! Best Casanova’s martinis.“

“Exceptional Wine and a Fantastic Experience
McClain Cellars truly delivers on both quality and experience. The wines are outstanding—rich, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making it easy to sit back and enjoy every pour. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, taking the time to explain each wine without being overwhelming. Whether you’re a seasoned wine lover or just looking for a great place to unwind, McClain Cellars is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great music venue! We had a blast playing here Mother's Day for Kim and her outstanding team. Thanks, Barnoa!“

“We always enjoy stopping by Love being a member 🍷 This Sunday we enjoy wine tasting and brought some Rose and Sauvignon Blanc Great staff“

“Wow! Super yum to say the least. It’s always great when the new local restaurant hits it out of the park! My wife & I started with the bacon & meatballs appetizer. She then had the fried green tomatoes & French onion soup while I had the ribeye. Delicious!“

“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!!!!“

“Amazing stay, gorgeous views and incredible hospitality! Loved it all and highly recommend!“

“Two words...Morning Sugar. That alone makes it worth it (special concoction that livens up your coffee).

Spiced Plum tart...what!?!? Off the chain good.

I had the eggs and ricotta on sourdough... never had anything like it before. Fluffiest eggs. Delish side salad.

And the Potatoes!!! OMFG. Magical & Dill must be how they are made.

Add that to great service, cute pantry items for sale and a impressive variety of menu items... this is the place you want as your GO TO.“

“Nice atmosphere, kind staffs and excellent foods. Steak is recommended especially chimichurri sauce was really good. Salmon with miso was also good. Menu is attached because it is hard to find the menu from their homepage.

In addition, for dining people, parking can be validated through their own parking lot.“

“Sean the bartender here makes this place really shine. He's super friendly and knowledgeable about the beer and wine. The selections are top notch and the food options are varied enough that you could try something new before hitting a repeat. Such a great spot to chill after work, can't wait for another visit!

Parking: No problems with parking, there is plenty.“

“Their wine dinners are incredible!“

“The food, service, and atmosphere here are all GREAT. It’s a little pricey… in that there is definitely cheaper Thai food in town. But everything is really really tasty and the service and atmosphere are upscale and really nice. Worth the extra money.

WARNING: I would avoid takeout or delivery. As much as we love this place, we just didn’t feel like going out last night. We tried to order by calling the restaurant. They have an AI agent taking your order. She rejected one of our favorites, saying it’s not on the menu. Turns out, it’s not on the TAKEOUT menu. (It was “basic” chicken lettuce wraps.) I get it… some food doesn’t travel well and they choose not to even try. (But that particular food seems like it would be okay?) The more annoying part was the AI accepted our order for fresh shrimp spring rolls, but “translated” the order to the kitchen as fried rolls with shrimp and other fried stuff. When we called, we were able to talk to a person that claims they’ll refund in a few business days. But she kept insisting that “we ordered the wrong thing.” Maybe they shouldn’t rely on an AI to take my order? (I read to the AI — word for word from their online menu — the item we wanted… the AI said “got the shrimp rolls… what else?”) Insult to injury… when dining in, they bring us a (big) side of peanut sauce (for the rolls) and never ever charge us. Last night, the AI charged us $4 for it and it was the tiniest little to-go ramekin like you see at salsa bars. (And remember, we didn’t even get the rolls to dip them in!) After speaking with the live person (that identified herself as the manager), I’m pretty convinced they just don’t love their takeout customers… like we’re a necessary evil.

Again: GREAT restaurant… love eating THERE. But be prepared to be under appreciated and disappointed if you try to take out.“

“😁 I love this place! What a fantastic jumping off spot for all of downtown!“

“Beautiful location, great waiter and delicious food! Will definitely come back.“
