Best fish tacos I have ever tasted!!…read more My family and I have been coming to this delightful establishment for years, as no matter where we go we are hard pressed to find fish tacos that measure up; the delectably moist, flavorful fish tacos and gnarly nachos keep bringing us back. Our only regret is being local to the area for two years before discovering this gem, thus wasting two years of our lives not eating their sumptuous cuisine. The service is prompt and the servers friendly. The ambience is beach shack vibe, with outdoor seating that includes high top and regular tables, and an indoor bar and seating. If you're considering eating here, do not waste another moment of your life! Order the fish tacos and gnarly nachos. You will not be disappointed!!

So great. On the way to LA and had to have lunch. Love this place. I had the salad with chicken…read moreand avocado and it was amazing. My boyfriend had the fried chicken Sandwich. Also good. But....his fries were so salty as to not be edible. Hope, our server, ws excellent and when we alerted her to the salty felons she immediately had new fresh fries made and the side wa not as large as a mail course. If you are passing by Dana Point have a meal. It's worth it. It would have been five stars but they carved a service fee and that is not my way. So four stars it is.

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.

I was waiting for my order today and out of the corner of my eye I saw a nice young man pull a chair outside for an elderly woman to sit on whilst she waited to be picked up.

When the FIFA World Cup starts, I love watching international football (soccer). For years, I was looking for the perfect place to watch the matches after my old favorite spot closed. I've been coming to The Point for more than 20 years, but I never realized what an amazing place it was to watch sports until the World Cup. The atmosphere is incredible. The sound system is fantastic, every TV is tuned to the same game with the live match audio, and no matter where you sit, you have a great view of multiple screens. It feels like you're inside the stadium, surrounded by fans who share the same passion for the beautiful game. I saw people from different backgrounds coming together, cheering, laughing, and enjoying the matches as one community. That's what sports are all about--unity and friendship. I want to thank everyone at The Point Restaurant & Bar for creating such a welcoming place for our community. Whether you're there to watch your favorite sport, enjoy a cold beer or another drink, or have a delicious meal, The Point has something for everyone. I highly recommend The Point Restaurant & Bar to anyone looking for a great place to watch sports, relax, and spend time with friends and family. Thank you again, The Point, for your outstanding service and for bringing our community together. -- Fahim Fazli See less

The workers were friendly, helpful and were working hard between the drive up window and the inside counter. Still a great value and we'll be back sooner.

They were very busy during the brunch rush, but the cashier was still friendly and helpful.

We have been going to Young's for a few years now so I guess you could say we are regulars by now…read moresince we walk the beach path nearly everyday. I think it's about time I write a review. :) The staff is helpful and friendly and they have some pretty dang good food for a beach shack. We love the burger, the shrimp tacos, and their breakfast burrito is so delicious and HUGE! Overall, the menu is well rounded and everything comes out good. Paired with the ocean and waves as the backdrop, it's a really nice spot to chill. Thank you for making this place a great local spot to stop in for a good meal, a drink and a place our dog can take a rest, get a drink and sit in the shade.

The place is nicely decorated and they do have a small patio outside. The bar is huge and so beautiful. The bartender was super friendly and helpful, as was our waitress, very attentive. Note that it's a full bar with a nice wine selection. The food seem to be made from scratch. The French onion soup (I am French) was very good. The mashed potatoes was so fluffy, light and tasty. I loved my shishito peppers (especially since they weren't deep fried!) . Salad was perfectly seasoned and the brie/tomatoes appetizer very flavorful and nicely presented. I also like the fact that they use real cloth napkins. Recommended!

I grabbed a nice cold beer and posted up outside, and let me tell you... that patio is dangerously comfortable. If my chair had reclined even one more inch, I might've filed for residency. The vibe is cozy, local, and effortlessly cool, like the bar equivalent of that friend who's always chill, always fun, and somehow never sweats even on a hot day. Service was smooth and friendly, the kind where you don't have to wave your arms like you're landing a plane just to get a refill. Whether you're here for beer, coffee, tea, or just to escape your responsibilities for 45 minutes, Project Social delivers. It's the kind of spot where you sip, relax, and think, "Yeah... I could get used to this." Miguel C.

I hope the owners read these reviews - they have a problem with staff. Manager responded it is posted policy.. on a tiny plaque that customers can't see... you can't impose a policy without consent - you lost a good customer and all the other guests I brought in the past xxx years ...
