Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

We were promptly seated, the hostess was very kind and made sure we were seated in a booth that we requested. Our server took quite a while to see us, but a bus boy did come quickly with waters. We ended up ordering specialty drinks, which also took a while to come, but were very yummy. We ordered appetizers, came within an appropriate time. We each ordered an entree, and were ready to order another drink but our server took the menu and never returned to ask if we wanted another drink. The chicken was SO good, juicy and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, the filet was not. The filet was ordered medium but came out cooked completely through, not a touch of pink was present. Our server didn’t come to check how our food was, so we couldn’t rectify the situation. To try to fill up, as we didn’t eat the filet, just the veggies and mashed potatoes, we did order a dessert. Unfortunately, the whiskey Bundt was INCREDIBLY dry… to the point of needing more water to finish it once the ice cream was already gone. Overall we are very disappointed as we do frequent this establishment when we can get out, which is not often, so this evening felt like a waste of both time and money.

Everything was good but some large parties arrived shortly after us and it became very noisy and hard to converse.

This was our first time at Salt Creek Grille. The food and drinks are excellent. We did have one of our drinks come out not tasting that good and once asking the server she gladly went and had another made without a smile on her face which is amazing. Cory the server had made great recommendations and was a pleasure to have as our server. Top notch service.

Great time at Brussels Bistro. Food was amazing. Will come back for sure

Food and service was good, though open doors made the restaurant so cold we ended up having to leaving earlier than normal, also noisier than comfortable.
