    Every dish from appetizer, to fresh made mushroom soup, to main course of house made raviola, to a ice cream desert. Chef Lindsey has created each dish well. We will certainly go again. One other point- the serving staff was attentive, responsive to special dietary requests. They have a main dining area AND a crows nest to catch a glimpse of lovely laguna beach and the fresh ocean air.

    Wow. What a gem to have in San Juan Capistrano. I had my doubts on seeing such high reviews but everything was great about our experience here and I agree it’s top notch. We came for a late Valentine’s date and it delivered. Great food (Bang Bang Shrimp, Croissant Waffle, and Steak and Eggs) and beautiful outdoor seating. This venue is also quite large as well so could accommodate large parties. We’ll be coming back soon.
