LOVED THE PLACE OPEN DOOR FOOD IS GOOD
Our Server, Brian was outstanding! My friend is allergic to garlic and onions and he went out of his way to
check with the Chef only to learn that onions had been fried earlier that day in the same fryer/ oil as my friends French Fries and would have been contaminated. He took our concerns to heart and made sure the food was prepared safely. Bravo Brian!
French Onion Soup and Calamari. Excellent!

Tavern at the Mission offers a delightful dining experience, featuring a variety of delicious meals. The menu includes prime rib dip sandwiches, pepperoni and sausage flatbread, onion soup, clam chowder, and halibut fish specials. The salmon taco, described as "to die for," is particularly praised.
The restaurant boasts a beautiful location overlooking the Mission in San Juan Capistrano, with a patio considered the best in Orange County, providing a wonderful ambiance for a quiet dinner. Guests can choose to sit by the fireplace or outdoors, making it a perfect spot for celebrations or a casual meal. The patio enhances the experience, especially with live music from solo guitarists that create an enjoyable atmosphere without being too loud.
The establishment is known for its great service, with attentive staff and speedy service, as well as reasonable prices. Guests have appreciated the upscale tavern-style cuisine, including the lobster Lois salad and the 18 Oz boneless ribeye, which is seasoned to perfection and topped with spicy butter and crispy onions. The restaurant also offers a romantic setting, with a choice of seating at the bar, indoors, or on the spacious, warm, and welcoming patio. New guests have found the food outstanding and flavorful, with fresh ingredients and great suggestions from the staff.
