Best Historic Restaurants in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

Delicious food served with friendly smiles on a lovely patio. I thought I'd be cold sitting outside in November, but the covered portion of the patio by the fireplace was toasty warm and well sheltered from any cold breezes. The wine recommendation was excellent and reasonably priced, and the menu easily accommodated our different tastes. We'll definitely be back!

Wonderful food, beautiful building & great service! We’ll be back!

We celebrated our anniversary last night at the Chart House DP. It was a delicious meal and excellent service. Beautiful view of the harbor and Christmas lights.

An adorable setting tucked away in San Juan Capistrano. Perfect for a relaxing and delicious lunch with some girlfriends. I'm not usually a lady who lunches, so this is the best treat. The Triple Crown Salad is out of this world. The scones are delightful. If you go in cooler weather, bring another layer if you're going to sit outside since the veranda is shaded.

We had a relative visiting from east coast who has celiac disease. He rarely eats out but if he does he uses an app that rates restaurants nearby that are celiac safe. Rosewood Social showed up on his app so we took him there. Most of the menu is gluten free which was great. He asked the waiter about the food prep and the waiter had the chef come out to talk to him. The chef reassured him that his meal would be prepared separately so there’s no cross contamination. The food was excellent and he even ordered another entree! My husband and I will be going back this restaurant. So good!
