- LLynnLos Angeles •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe location high atop Dana Pt Harbor was breathtaking with all the Christmas decorations glowing in the dark night sky. The atmosphere was very nice because we ate out on the patio and the gas heaters kept us toasty. The restaurant was super busy but with our reservation we didn’t have a wait. The appetizer of calamari was delicious and different than we’ve ever had anywhere else. The main dishes were a bit disappointing in that the seafood a la mere of black linguini and seafood was disappointing in that the seafood appeared to have all been cooked prior to the order being placed … it was dry and overcooked. The salmon was slightly overdone. The chocolate lava cake is definitely worth ordering ahead of time … yummy!More infoChart House Restaurant - Dana PointPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.4
- JJeffLos Angeles •15 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoChristmas or New Year dinners at a restaurant are, by their very nature (i.e. a time everyone wants off and demand outstrips supply) going to be a compromise scenario. The experience here was surprisingly uncompromised. The service was fantastic, the appetizers (clam chowder, spinach salad, artichokes) were uniformly wonderful and generously proportioned, main courses were very good as well, although the prime rib wasn’t quite as well seasoned as one might expect, it too was cooked properly and properly proportioned. Don’t read that as a complaint, not on Christmas, nope, that was a minor compromise that did not diminish from a wonderful experience.More infoWind & Sea RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.6
- RRalphOrange County •7 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoHarpoon Henry's has been a wonderful restaurant on the harbor for many years. I have enjoyed many great meals and happy hours here over the years. Ambiance is warm and cozy with great harbor views, the Christmas Day turkey dinner was prepared to perfection and the service was outstanding as usual. I understand that this wonderful restaurant will close in the spring. It is so unfortunate that Dana Point Harbor Partners is driving away all that is good around the harbor for the love of more money. Thanks to all at Harpoon Henry's for today and for all the happy times in the past.More infoHarpoon Henry's Seafood RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.6
- NNANCYVIPOrange County •68 reviews5.0Dined on 24 Dec 2024Very happy I chose Coastal Kitchen to bring my son and his family for our Christmas celebration. They had never been here and raved about the food! Entrees ordered were the ahi salad, the ahi entree, pork chop (it was huge!), ribs, and my personal favorite, the salmon. All were delicious! And, of course, we had to order the key lime pie--better than Tommy Bahamas; the crust is amazing!More infoCoastal KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8
