- MMichelleVIPOrange County •114 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a great dining experience. We felt so welcomed even though every table was full, the manager personally assisted us as well as several staff members. It's a cosy atmosphere and always a treat to dine here. The special lobster dish was delicious and my husband was delighted with his short rib stroganoff. Drinks were a generous pour which is also appreciated. The oatmeal raisin crumble was another amazing surprise. We are looking forward to returning soon.More infoVine Restaurant & BarPrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.9
- KKyleSeattle / Eastern Washington •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoEasily one of the top 3 pizzas I’ve had in Orange County! We ordered the cheese and pepperoni pizza, and it was perfection—thin, crisp, and packed with incredible fresh flavor. Absolutely worth coming here just for that. We also tried the burrata, which was good but on the smaller side. However, the grilled sourdough it came with was fantastic and made up for it. The crispy porchetta was solid, but the real star of the meal was definitely the pizza. Service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and prompt. Already looking forward to coming back!More infoParlor, Woodfire Kitchen & CocktailsPrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.7
