- CCarolvipToronto / Ontario •15 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoI picked this randomly after looking at reviews. It met all the reviews and expectations as I’m an Italian food snob. Everything was perfect and cooked to perfection. Service was also great and timely. Will definitely go again on my next visit Carol from Toronto.More infoLuciana's RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.6
- PpatrickOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoi'm a big fan of El Adobe restaurant, so you're always going to be an excellent review from me.. however this trip was one of my favorites. There was a wedding reception in the back area, which led to some extra excitement, but they also had the live harp player inside. The harpist played a Beatles song, and when we requested another Beatles song, he came over to our table to play an amazing version of "Hey Jude". the food was on point, our server Gil was a sweetheart, and the drinks were fantastic.More infoEl Adobe de CapistranoPrice: Moderate• Mexican• San Juan Capistrano•4.7

- PPattivipOrange County •10 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDelicious 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!More infoCiao PastaPrice: Moderate• Italian• San Juan Capistrano•4.8
