Best Waterfront Restaurants in Laguna Hills / Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

We celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary here as part of our trip down memory lane from when we had first visited eight years ago, a couple months before our wedding. It’s still the same as it always was, with great food, great service, and the most amazing views!

Wonderful food in at iconic Dana Point Harbor. A bit noisy, but it was a crowded Friday night. Seafood bisque was rich, creamy, with bits of seafood and heat. Grilled swordfish with butter sauce was so good!

Great experience: server was welcoming and attentive; relaxed ambience with beautiful view; and generous portion of fish and chips, with well spiced fries!

The view is amazing and so is the staff. They even made sure we were warm as we were sitting outside near the ocean. Food was good. We had Ribeye steak which was tasty and ordered sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes au gratin. large order for sides enough for two or more people. Drinks were good but on the pricey side. Expected as this is the beach and hotel is going through a reno. Beautiful spot! The people that work here are great and music was perfect! Definitely a place we will be visiting again and again.

We dined on the patio & enjoyed a lovely sunset. My husband’s bouillabaisse was great, very large portion. I had the seafood tower, also good portion for (2). The fried Calamari was good, but for some reason much of the rest didn’t seem as fresh to me. Pastry/bakery is great. Our waiter was excellent. The restaurant needs a refresh inside.
