Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

The food and view were amazing. Our waiter, Patrick, made it a night to remember with amazing food recommendations and impeccable service. It’s not inexpensive , but it’s worth it!

Wonderful meal and exceptional service. Each time we dine at the Loft, we are impressed

The view is amazing and so is the staff. They even made sure we were warm as we were sitting outside near the ocean. Food was good. We had Ribeye steak which was tasty and ordered sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. large order for sides enough for two or more people. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Expected as this is the beach and hotel is going through a reno. Beautiful spot! The people that work here are great and music was perfect! Definitely a place we will be visiting again and again.

The food is sophisticated and delicious with flavours blending Mediterranean influences with fresh local ingredients. Our group loved every dish from dips to crispy chicken to roasted carrots and cauliflower. Each dish was unique and dense with flavour. The only downside to Mayfield is the noise level. Too much
