Restaurants near San Clemente State Beach

Food was wonderful. Our server was great! It is a smaller place so noise level was high, but I would totally go back!!

Nice atmosphere that’s lively but not loud, excellent food choices on the menu plus a great variety of daily special offered. Service was spot on! Prices are a bit on the high side but you do need to pay for quality ingredients and generous portions.

Great new restaurant in San Clemente! Food was outstanding, but the service was even better! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and welcomed by wait staff. ALL of the waiters I walked by on my way to my table, while carrying food and serving others, welcomed me in! The food was tasty and the ambience felt like home.

We had an absolutely amazing experience. We had a brand new waiter. It was her first day waiting tables on her own and she was absolutely amazing. She was working under Adam I believe. I don’t remember her name and it was not on my receipt however she was Knowledgeable and available and just perfect in every way. We had the focaccia bread that was amazing! The ravioli were amazing. And we had a burger and the schnitzel and they both exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to try another one of the restaurants in this partnership!

We didn’t even know the place existed until we ordered several dinners thru Door Dash. We decided we had to go to the restaurant to see where it was and what was it like. We were pleasantly surprised. It’s located in the San Clemente Inn that in the 70s was where the Nixon support and news groups would stay. The decor of the restaurant hasn’t changed, and it’s neat to see the “retro” 70s surroundings. The service was excellent. I had the salmon and my wife the filet mignon. Both were excellent. The menu is limited but adequate, and they are working on expanding the wine selection. We were surprised that the restaurant was almost empty on Sunday night. That reflects the lack of publicity since we have lived in San Clemente for 35 years, and even if it has only been open for two years, we and our friends didn’t know it existed. Maybe consider it “ a diamond in the rough”. Great place and easy parking. Worth a try.
