- BBrianPhoenix / Arizona •3 reviews5.0Dined todayAlways a great experience at Rancho Capistrano Winery. Janay took care of us once again and made the evening wonderful! We brought a couple that had not been before to RCW and live here in San Clemente and they were so impressed that they joined the wine club. All of the servers are great but Janay always makes us feel at home. We had the halibut and scallops and they were prepared to perfection. If you go to this location, do not miss out on the jalapeno soup! It will put you right where you want to be! Thanks RCW crew, you helped us entertain at a next levelMore infoRancho Capistrano Winery - San ClementePrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.7
- GGeorgeOrange County •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoParlor offers a great dining experience. The vibe is energetic, the place is busy, yet the staff is well trained in making you feel taken care of. Making a reservation is highly recommended. If you do you'll be welcomed and promptly seated, then attended to by waitstaff, whom are friendly and knowledgable about the menu. The menu is well curated and the appetizers and main courses expertly executed. I've had pizzas, pastas, salads and appetizers and all have been terrific. All throughout the experience management keeps a casual but watchful eye over all, stopping by to check in and make sure you are enjoying yourself. In short, Parlor is a standout experience and highly recommended.More infoParlor, Woodfire Kitchen & CocktailsPrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.6
