The Thanksgiving menu had a great variety as well as some a la carte items. We had a party of 8 and everyone was pleased with the options. The view in Dana Point is always beautiful and our table had a great view. The place was SO packed. You could barely thread yourself between the tables. And the noise level was really high. Food did take a while, but it came out hot. Our waitress was the best - great attitude and super sweet. Valet parking only - and they had their hands full. If they hadn't packed in so many tables, it would have been perfect.
