The Wind & Sea Restaurant is located on the water in the Dana Point Harbor. With water on three sides, every table has a spectacular view.
We serve fresh fish selections daily as well as Lobster tail, shrimp, steaks, and vegetarian dishes.

Monday through Friday (not available Holidays and Special occasions) we have Hawaiian Happy Hour from 4:00 to 7:00 featuring our world famous Mai Tai's as well as draft beer, wine and food specials. Big screen TV's, keep the lounge exciting at all times.

The waterfront open-air patio serves the full menu and is heated at night, perfect for an order of nachos and a margarita or a full dinner under the stars. Private banquet facilities accommodate 20 to 75.

Loved the ceviche. Grilled tiger shrimp was good. My son said his fish and chips were the worst heʻs ever had. The other food (lunch quesadilla and halibut plate) were good, but not remarkable. We had come to celebrate my other sonʻs birthday and there was no mention or acknowledgwment of it. Waitress was attentive and good at keeping sodas and waters filled.

Wonderful food in at iconic Dana Point Harbor. A bit noisy, but it was a crowded Friday night. Seafood bisque was rich, creamy, with bits of seafood and heat. Grilled swordfish with butter sauce was so good!

Our group of 6 enjoyed a delightful lunch with a window table view of the harbor. Everyone indicated their meals were excellent and recommended for future diners. Our server, Stephanie (I believe), was professional, efficient and very delightful. All in all, a lovely place to enjoy lunch.
