Best Historic Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

Outstanding food and service! Ordered the miso cod, Chilean sea bass and Rendang short rib. Each dish was cooked perfectly and the flavors were spot on. The cocktails and deserts were incredible as well, especially the croissant waffle.

The service (everyone we engaged with from walking in, to walking out) was exceptional. The food was delicious… love this place!

We were seated in the “music room” which was decorated with some Baroque music instruments, quite lovely. My sister and I each ordered the set tea, it came with the infamous currant heart shaped scone, finger sandwiches, (egg salad, cucumber, caramelised onion tart, salmon mousse and something tastes like curry), dessert and your choice of tea selection. Mine came with the tomato bisque which was ordinary, it could be a tad bit creamier. The price for my tea set was $48.00. We always enjoyed our visit at The Tea House, but if I were asked what will be the best thing on the list then my answer would be “you must try the currant scone which comes with their crème fraîche and homemade preserves .” We always ordered a few to go!

i'm a big fan of El Adobe restaurant, so you're always going to be an excellent review from me.. however this trip was one of my favorites. There was a wedding reception in the back area, which led to some extra excitement, but they also had the live harp player inside. The harpist played a Beatles song, and when we requested another Beatles song, he came over to our table to play an amazing version of "Hey Jude". the food was on point, our server Gil was a sweetheart, and the drinks were fantastic.

Rochelle was our wine tasting instructor. It was a fun experience and she was very knowledgeable. We opted for the wine, cheese and chocolate tasting. 100% on all choices. We would highly recommend.
