Pizza was delicious - we tried the Bee Sting and the pepperoni with pineapple added. Tutta la Casa…read moresalad was good, and it's a $4 upcharge if you want it with the lunch combo. Have to deduct half a star for a few things - 1) we had to remind our server about the salad, and by the time it arrived we were halfway through the pizza; 2) no soap left in the restroom, which is especially needed after eating a very oily pizza!; 3) server brought leftovers in a box that was soaked on the bottom and literally dripping water - assuming she had it resting on a puddle and totally fine if it's an accident, but she seemed a little irritated when we asked for a new box: 4) payment is done via a tableside machine and they don't show you the itemized bill to check if everything is correct - the total sounded about right so I let it go, but I prefer at least a glance before handing over my card. All minor things, and I think they may have been short-staffed as it was pretty busy for a Tuesday lunch. Would still come back to try more of their pizzas!

Finally made it to Station Craft. We have been eyeing this place for years but it always seems…read morepacked, so we just drive past. Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!

Station Craft is so wholly inoffensive from top to bottom - decor, layout, food selection, beer…read moreselection, everything. Nothing particularly terrible and nothing notable either. Which is why it's getting 3 stars from me. The food is fine. It didn't make me sick, and I could eat it. That's about all I can say. The service did what it was supposed to but neither warm nor necessarily speedy. If I were a local, this would be a safe place to bring friends. I don't think it's worth the time to go out of my way to come here.

Came to Dana Point to spoil my family, looking forward to going to Jon's fish market, only to find…read morethat it closed 3 months ago :( was looking for fresh grilled fish that was similar, and this restaurant popped up. Let me tell you- the unplanned is always the best! I had been wanting to try it but knowing the other locations had hard parking, and man oh man, one of my favorite meals and so well priced! 1. Red snapper with veggies and mushrooms. Wow! The fish was so full of flavor even before the sauce, well portioned, well priced. And the veggies were filling and cooked to perfection! 2. Fish and chips - have been on a mission to find good fish and chips- the fish was huge, tasty and meaty! Just a bit oily, but still YUMMY! Service: Corrina seriously is the reason I am writing this review! As I was frustrated with the parking situation by the harbor and just tired, she turned around my mood! She was so passionate and joyful about what she does and the food she serves! And she gave us the lowdown on the whole construction situation in Dana point! Thank you for your amazing service!!! Lastly: the inside is so pretty, inviting, and spread out and clean! Def will be back!! Thank you!

Came on a Friday afternoon and saw that they had Happy Hour pricing available so told the hostess…read moreup front (I read that if you don't specify then you may not get seated in the happy hour section and they may deny ordering from Happy hour, so we had no issues when I specified to the hostess). Got the: 1) lobster deviled eggs: 10/10, what sets a great deviled egg apart from mediocre ones is the filling, and the filling was absolutely scrumptious. 3 egg halves came with a lobster leg piece each. 2) crab cake: 5/10, never been a huge fan of crab cakes and unfortunately this did not change my mind either. It was still fishy and we ended up using the lemon for the cocktail shrimp on the crab cakes. Definitely will not get again. It's disappointing as seafood from Hook and Anchor is usually higher quality than this. 3) cocktail shrimp: 10/10, Interesting presentation on ice rather than a glass. 6 pieces of large juicy crispy shrimp with delicious cocktail sauce, and I love that they even added an extra dollop of horseradish because I love cocktail sauce with a good kick! 4) 6oz lobster roll: 8/10, the Newport Beach location gets a 10/10 for me because at this location: - The lobster was not very warm by the time it came to the table. - It looked deceivingly overflowing, but they actually did not fill the bottom half of the roll, so if you stuffed it all the way in, then it was just barely filling the roll. - mostly leg pieces and some of them were on the small side TLDR: great for happy hour (be sure to specify happy hour to the hostess to be able to order at the correct seat) but not up to par to the Newport Beach location.

I'm confused as to why this place has such high ratings. The only redeeming quality is the view…read more Came here for lunch during the week and it took 15 minutes before our server took our order. Once the food came, it wasn't until it was almost time to pay the bill did he check in on us. Food wise I was not impressed. The scallop was bland and flavorless. While our food was room temperature. Considering the slow service our meal probably sat for some time in the kitchen vs being served right to us once made. The value paid for what was offered on food and service was sub par. I expected more from the Ritz Carlton

My impression is right in line with the average of the 4 star rating. This is a really fun place…read moreto come to. I was a tiny bit disappointed with the beer selections. A place like this should offer multiple options for each style of popular beers. My burger was excellent. It's been a while since I was last here but I always enjoy the atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again when I'm in the area.

They could have had more servers there for sure. That said, the guy serving us worked his butt off, gracefully, friendly, and attentively. Any gaps were filled by the bartender delivering drinks and (I think) the manager here and there. We were well taken care of. Food was great, bacon old fashioned my buddy had looked (and reportedly) was incredible, beers were great, staff were awesome (despite being low in numbers). Highly recommend.!

Drinks were really good and service from Jorge was great. Since Bourbon Steak was closed (why, at a resort??), we ended up coming back here for dinner. Nice evening and got a good spot to watch sunset Opted for Hamachi Crudo to start and it was fantastic. Then, we both got their French aonion Smash Burger, one with fries and one salad. The Burger was crazy good! Honestly one of the best I've ever had. Salad was fine, and fries were cold, so they redid them. Wife was happier than I was with second batch, but it was nice of them. Glazed Mushrooms were awaste of my time and money. Zero flavor and lazy side. Wine was good. We went with the suggested Malbec. Overpriced, but good. Service from Esthefani was great.

Breakfast buffet was good with lot of selections but my Chicken Burrito stole the show. It was so good, that she wished she also ordered the burrito instead of the breakfast.
