- LLaurieSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoIn spite of a dismal, rainy day, I was delighted the minute that we walked in the door. The hostess had obviously read my comments when I made our reservation, and greeted us warmly. All of my requests had been met, we were served by a charming, knowledgeable server, and we enjoyed a delicious lunch and a carafe of excellent Cabernet Sauvignon. Topping that off with a luscious dark chocolate torte and fresh- brewed coffee, our time there could not have been better. My thanks to the wonderful, caring staff and your excellent chef!More infoTavern at the MissionPrice: Expensive• American• San Juan Capistrano•4.7

- LLauraOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 18, 2025Absolutely wonderful experience. We sat at a high top table facing the train and Trevor’s which was beautiful and entertaining. Rochelle was knowledgeable about the wines and cheese and chocolate that we tried during the tasting. Everything was delicious and the whole experience very enjoyable. My friends and I are already making plans to return in the near future. Thank you for an awesome afternoon!More infoWine Tasting at Rancho Capistrano Winery - San Juan CapistranoPrice: Expensive• Winery• San Juan Capistrano•4.8
