    Really cool decor and interior design. Food was tasty, well seasoned. Prices were fair and was warm inside. Staff was really nice and efficient. Would come back and try a different dish.

    Beautiful location, fun drinks, delicious appetizers …ok main course. We got the table-side mojitos for 2, which had a cool presentation. The tuna crudo was delicious. As was the beat salad and the clam chowder. The filet mignon was ok, but with no seasoning. Should have added the blue cheese butter topper. My wife got the Mac nut mahi. It was a bit over cooked and the green beans were way overcooked.

    We were there for Christmas dinner (the only restaurant open anywhere in Dana Point, Laguna or San Juan Cap) where they had 1400 covers so the restaurant was a bit hectic. We also were not forwarned that they would only be serving a mandatory prix fix menut at $79/pp. That said, the restaurant rose to the occasion with gracious hospitality and good service. The prix fix menu did have a good number of choices and the food (other than the caesar salad which was wilted and mediocre) came out piping hot and delicious. Thanks so much for being open on Christmas (clearly there is a need).

    Fantastic views. We were seated outside which was lovely. Heated lamps made it quite comfortable. The food was delicious. Our server was wonderful (a bit overworked) but great service. *I recommend making early reservations since the parking is CRAZY (not enough) & some food dishes ran out (Seabass was popular) but the lobster was yummy. Overall, I would recommend coming here as we had a delightful time.

    Our waitress was working two sides of the restaurant and service was slow. The food was bad. We went last year and it was great. Very disappointed

    The Christmas dinner 3 course meal was great. There were large parties eating dinner so it took quite awhile from being seated, to ordering our meal at 1 hour, to finally getting the meal at 2 hours but it was busy and Christmas Day, so understandable . Overall the food was amazing was delicious meal and our server was great. We really enjoyed our time spent there with family.
