Restaurants near Doheny Marine Life Refuge

The Thanksgiving menu had a great variety as well as some a la carte items. We had a party of 8 and everyone was pleased with the options. The view in Dana Point is always beautiful and our table had a great view. The place was SO packed. You could barely thread yourself between the tables. And the noise level was really high. Food did take a while, but it came out hot. Our waitress was the best - great attitude and super sweet. Valet parking only - and they had their hands full. If they hadn't packed in so many tables, it would have been perfect.

Coastal kitchen never disappoints - I prefer clean, healthy protein heavy dishes and there are so many amazing choices for me there! Their fish is delicious, filet is the best and shrimp cocktail is like eating baby lobsters!! We love it and it’s always the go-to…service amazing too!

Just. WOW. Some of the best pizza we’ve had outside of Italy. And the cherry on top is the ambiance. Such a warm and lovely patio. I can’t wait to make the drive back from LA to eat here again soon.

Thank you for a delightful evening where I may comfortably dine with my loved ones.

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!
