Best Lunch Restaurants in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

Excellent food server. Food top notch. The ambiance is fantastic. Very cheerful workers which in my opinion says much about the employer/restaurant

My family and I had a lovely tea service. We originally went in to try the Valentines Special, but with so many other options we each tried something different including the Valentines Special. The tea variety was great, we all found something we liked. The scones and tea sandwiches were all tasty. Our favorites were the Shepherd's Pie, Rosemary Chicken and the Cauliflower Dill soup. Our server, Ivy, made our experience so wonderful with all her knowledge and recommendations. This place is a definite must try for anyone in SoCal.

As always, the pizza and salad were delicious. staff are very friendly and welcoming. However, the wings were not so good. The harissa sauce, not tasty at all. Won’t be ordering them again.

Loved coming here!! On a Saturday night the tables were full, it was the day after Valentine’s Day! We had a reservation for two and they sat us at a cute little table in the corner by the front windows. It was nice and felt like our own area! The server was accomodating and answered all of our questions with ease! He even suggested some of their off menu items like the filet mignon pasta - that was our favorite of the night!! We really enjoyed the baked meatball appetizer which comes with 4 meatballs in sauce. I got the Rigatoni Amatriciana and it was very good! Definitely a safe option if you aren’t up for exploring the different pastas. For drinks, we got the blueberry drink (I can’t remember the full name) but it was delicious! We ended the night off with Tiramisu and it was SO good! I would definitely come back here again!

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Had a great view with live music. I can honestly say that I had the best customer service that I’ve had in my life. Dean was absolutely phenomenal professional, attentive, and even brought a rose to the table being it was valentine’s Day. Definitely a great ambience because of the amazing customer service and overall experience of ambience and view will definitely be returning highly suggest.
