    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.

    Server was attentive and food was great. Ribeye was great for myself but the food is great. Sundays are even better than saturdays if you want a funner vibe. Went for mothers birthday and she had a blast on a saturday morning. 13 of us and had zero issues. So good!

    Went here for Valentines Day Dinner. The price was amazing and our server was amazing as well. We knew it was going to be busy and that the kitchen was going to be really busy because of the Special Valentines Dinner offer. So we were glad that we ordered from the sushi bar until the food came in. The whole experience was great and the food was great too. Would I want to do valentines again here, yes.
