Best Historic Restaurants in San Clemente

They were busy, however the hostess was able to keep up with check-ins and patrons paying their bills. We had a reservation and waited about 10 minutes for our table. Our server was kind and explained all that they had to offer. Food was delicious. I would go back!

The location high atop Dana Pt Harbor was breathtaking with all the Christmas decorations glowing in the dark night sky. The atmosphere was very nice because we ate out on the patio and the gas heaters kept us toasty. The restaurant was super busy but with our reservation we didn’t have a wait. The appetizer of calamari was delicious and different than we’ve ever had anywhere else. The main dishes were a bit disappointing in that the seafood a la mere of black linguini and seafood was disappointing in that the seafood appeared to have all been cooked prior to the order being placed … it was dry and overcooked. The salmon was slightly overdone. The chocolate lava cake is definitely worth ordering ahead of time … yummy!

Great food and service. Very accommodating for people with celiac

Its my favorite restaurant. The staff is kind and attentive. The ambiance is what traditional Mexican restaurants WANT to be. The food is superb without being pretentious or over the top. If I'm in the area and have time, I'm going.

We had a very nice dining experience at Slyvesters. We sat at the bar, the restaurant is beautifully designed and appointed. The food was top notch. From the herbed focaccia bread to the short rib lasagna everything was excellent. The service at the bar was very good. We are excited to try more of the menu and will definitely return.
