Best Historic Restaurants in San Clemente

My family and I had a lovely tea service. We originally went in to try the Valentines Special, but with so many other options we each tried something different including the Valentines Special. The tea variety was great, we all found something we liked. The scones and tea sandwiches were all tasty. Our favorites were the Shepherd's Pie, Rosemary Chicken and the Cauliflower Dill soup. Our server, Ivy, made our experience so wonderful with all her knowledge and recommendations. This place is a definite must try for anyone in SoCal.

The food was great! Best chili rellano I had in years. Delicious chicken enchiladas and perfect hard tacos. Rice was right on along with refried beans. The Cadillac Margaritas were delish too!

This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a beautiful and classy atmosphere. The views are simply stunning, adding to the overall elegant ambiance. But it's not just about the looks – the food is absolutely delicious and well worth the price. What's even more surprising is how affordable the prices are for such a high-quality dining experience. Our server, Tony, truly made our visit exceptional. He was amazing – friendly, communicative, and full of great energy and a positive attitude. He went above and beyond, offering to take our picture and even guiding us to the perfect spot for the best shot! I've never had a waiter do that before. His service was truly outstanding. This restaurant offers a complete package: beautiful setting, delicious food, reasonable prices, and top-notch service. I will definitely be going back!

Wow. What a gem to have in San Juan Capistrano. I had my doubts on seeing such high reviews but everything was great about our experience here and I agree it’s top notch. We came for a late Valentine’s date and it delivered. Great food (Bang Bang Shrimp, Croissant Waffle, and Steak and Eggs) and beautiful outdoor seating. This venue is also quite large as well so could accommodate large parties. We’ll be coming back soon.

The new Chef is on his game! I had the new Lemon Tortellini and my wife had the salmon. We both enjoyed the delicious flavors and presentation. We split Brussel sprouts and a cup of the delicious jalapeno soup which is a must every time we dine here. The new item that may have been just for Valentine's Day was the butter cake. literally one of the very best desserts we have ever shared. We were served by Janay and that is always a pleasure. She knows her menu well and has become familiar with our choices in the past and often tells us how we want things done before we can tell her. There is a hostess at the front entry, often 2 are on hand but this is the one that is not as tall of the two. She makes our welcome pleasant every time and she was able to seat us in our requested table which really makes for an even more enjoyable experience.....so many thanks to her!
