This place is pretty good, but the patio is the best part! We were here for happy hour, and the menu is limited, but the calamari is great! The nachos are huge, and the grilled artichoke is fine. Our waitress was sweet, but a little forgetful. The beachy vibes near the harbor are real.

Toasted buns, light mayo, side of freshly make coleslaw light mayo. Outstanding folks. Great service at the bar - Thanks Jimmy! Views from the bar overlook Dana Point Harbor, with tons of outdoor seating dockside. Great lunch spot.

Came with a large party before the dinner rush and were seated right away. Sophia was taking care of us and she was absolutely amazing. Drinks kept coming and the food all came out hot. She got nothing wrong!!! It's a cute beachside restaurant (we sat outside) right next to the harbor. Inside is really nice too and the bathrooms were clean. This is a perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner and see the sunset! Parking is free for 4 hours. I got the steak with extra mashed potatoes and my husband got the kalua pork nachos which were HUGE! The sourdough bread is hot and soft. I could tell everyone was loving their food too. I immediately regretted not getting the ahi because it looked SO delicious. Oh well, an excuse to come back soon!
