Best Restaurants for People Watching in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

The service was exceptional. Jorge did an amazing job at making the birthday celebration special and was very attentive to our needs. My dad raved about the pork chop and my filet was excellent. The cocktails were well done, love the martini glasses they use, spacious and stable.

Our first time visiting. It’s quaint overall and not much seating inside. Their have a great happy hour menu & a nice selection of cocktails.

We had a girls lunch today. The patio was lovely and we all enjoyed the food and wine. We had salmon tacos, Cobb salad and BBQ flatbreads. Everything was excellent. The whiskey Bundt cake for dessert was delicious too. Jane was our server. She provided outstanding service and was very accommodating with separate checks. We will definitely return.

caden our server was the best prompt, courteous very attentive. Just a great service person.

The Fin sushi bar is around the corner from the lobby bar so really hidden. The sushi was OUTSTANDING. We did ask for no sesame seeds at all and the edamame came with a sesame sauce. We sent it back. We also pre called and asked if they had a specific name brand sake. We were told no, we bought/brought our own, and they actually did have it. Thankfully as we didn’t want to spend the $35 cork fee on top of buying our own sake, we bought theirs. We would go back.
