Best American Restaurants in San Clemente

Dinner, service & ambiance was amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and service. Very accommodating for people with celiac

It was a very busy day (Christmas Eve) but we were greeted warmly and seated at our reservation time. Our server was friendly, although a bit forgetful. We ordered a few items that we were told later they had run out of, somewhat disappointing but I guess understandable for the busy holiday. What we did have for dinner was delicious. The portions were moderate to generous. The Caesar salad was excellent as was the chicken. My son loved the short ribs. We will definitely return.

It was our first visit to Parlor and we will definitely be back. The food was outstanding. Sat pizza I have had since I was a kid. Creative drink menu and a really cool vibe. We had a great time.

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.
