- NNANCYVIPOrange County •68 reviews5.0Dined todayVery happy I chose Coastal Kitchen to bring my son and his family for our Christmas celebration. They had never been here and raved about the food! Entrees ordered were the ahi salad, the ahi entree, pork chop (it was huge!), ribs, and my personal favorite, the salmon. All were delicious! And, of course, we had to order the key lime pie--better than Tommy Bahamas; the crust is amazing!More infoCoastal KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8
- SShaunSan Diego •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoJust a perfect location, and excellent service. Ryan was our server, and was knowledgeable about everything, and the staff had so much information on the cocktails, the food, and the atmosphere it was easy to talk with them and make decisions about what we wanted, and how to enjoy the fantastic view that we had. I would definitely recommend this place . More infoRAYA at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna NiguelPrice: Expensive• Latin American• Aliso Viejo / Laguna Niguel•4.7
