Reviews
Very lively evening, and likely due to that, the service was a little slow. Had a few cocktails all around $15 a piece and some appetizers. Everything was good, but the oysters were tiny, as were the mussels. I should have taken a photo of …
The service was some of the best I've ever had, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the entire evening. The food was absolutely amazing, with every dish declaring its own unique flavor and quality. Along with the food, the …
I would have given five stars if the sound was better. They have to keep it under 100 decibels for the neighbors apparently, and it's just not loud enough for a good band. The stage is awesome. Nice size dance floor. …
Great outdoor bar and seating area. Ideally located off improved Dana Point Holden Lanter district. Ideal for watching game on TV while enjoying good company
Good food variety, beer and wine selection. Pizza prosciutto, burrata and arugula was very good. Good burger.
We were visiting from Florida & looking for a happy hour after walking Crystal Cove State Park. This place was great! Outdoor perfect weather, great service and food! The BBQ chicken pizza was amazing. I couldn't resist trying the oysters with them being a dollar apiece on this particular night. They were delicious!
My first impression walking up was that it was a very nice place and cool atmosphere. We sat out on the patio, which was covered and very pretty. I had a steak, which was a perfect medium rare. I usually like a 6 oz but they only had 8 …
Great indoor-outdoor space. Service was awesome and food was good.
Came here for their highly rated patio and good ratings and was extremely impressed with everything. Very clean, delicious drinks and huge selection to go off of. Fish and chips were the best my wife and I have ever ate and our server was …
The location is amazing, the outdoor patio is huge, there is plenty of tables, some have fire coming from the middle of the table and there is heaters every where. …
Customer service is excellent and although its very busy, the vibe keeps you relaxed. The band did a great job last night playing a variety of music. A little something for the young and old crowd. I appreciate the hospitality shown. We came in from Houston but felt right at home.
