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!

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.

The food is sophisticated and delicious with flavours blending Mediterranean influences with fresh local ingredients. Our group loved every dish from dips to crispy chicken to roasted carrots and cauliflower. Each dish was unique and dense with flavour. The only downside to Mayfield is the noise level. Too much

Excellent as always. Staff were professional and frequented our table to make sure we were good. Food was great, the special of the day are a genius idea and so we tried the blue crab baked oysters and they were oh so good. It was our anniversary and the restaurant were super generous and took care of us. Thank you so much!
