An adorable setting tucked away in San Juan Capistrano. Perfect for a relaxing and delicious lunch with some girlfriends. I'm not usually a lady who lunches, so this is the best treat. The Triple Crown Salad is out of this world. The scones are delightful. If you go in cooler weather, bring another layer if you're going to sit outside since the veranda is shaded.

Excellent food and perfect portions size. We enjoyed the lamb shank and filet mignon. Not overly stuffed so we shared the mini Bundt whiskey cake. All so good!

I loved everything about the winery but the music was sometimes too loud to the point where I could not hear the rest of my party at times.

The food is sophisticated and delicious with flavours blending Mediterranean influences with fresh local ingredients. Our group loved every dish from dips to crispy chicken to roasted carrots and cauliflower. Each dish was unique and dense with flavour. The only downside to Mayfield is the noise level. Too much
