Best Family Style Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

Had an awesome meal at Rosewood Social in San Juan Capistrano with my wife and daughter. We ordered the Chilean Bass, Coconut Curry with Tofu, and Braised Short Rib, and went family style. Every dish was spot-on—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Wrapped it up with their waffle croissant dessert, which was next-level good. Great food, solid service, and a cool vibe. Highly recommend.

Highly impressed with the service and the quality of the evening. Truly a make your day kind of experience.

Parlor 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.

Nice variety of flavors and choices. Service was okay but they were very busy. Would definitely recommend it!!

I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!
