    5 Stars – Amazing Service & Stunning Views We had a lovely Valentine’s Day lunch at Windansea! The service was absolutely amazing attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Cole, our server, was beyond incredible so attentive and kind. Love that kid! From My Love ❤️❤️❤️ We ordered the fish and chips, calamari steak, and a raspberry lemon drop. The food was OK, but the ambience made the experience truly special. The highlight? A perfect waterfront view with sea lions hanging out and an incredible conversation with my love. The restaurant is a bit old, but it’s clean and well-maintained. With all the beautification happening at Dana Point Harbor, a remodel would take this place to the next level. What a great location—definitely worth taking full advantage of! Highly recommend for the views and service alone.

    We always enjoy the food, Mai Tais and atmosphere … and this was no exception. The Wedge Salads were delicious with a side of Garlic Bread. The Chef’s Special Walnut Crusted Salmon was fantastic, as were the Swordfish and Macadamia Crusted Mahi Mahi.

    Food is great, drinks are fantastic, the views are amazing especially at sunset. Staff was friendly and prompt. Happening spot but not too loud. Great for a date or just a night out.
