We were lucky to find one table open without waiting. And as usual the service was top-notch even though they were crowded and the food came out fresh and hot. Took my grandson because he's ready to join the Air Force academy and this may be his last meal here for a few years. He grew up on this place. They have one in Sunset Beach which is a little smaller a little less parking and this one in Dana point which always has plenty of street parking but both are coastal right on Pacific Coast Highway.

He was honest and answered all of the questions I had to accommodate me on choosing what I wanted to eat. It was simple but perfect, to me and my friends. I'd definitely come here again. I would ask for him if you want good service. We got the half turkey sandwiches with corn chowder, the fish and chips, and the Oreo milkshake. Looks can be deceiving... it was all delicious!!

The only mild setback wa that we were seated in the back, near where someone was power washing some floor mats, and we could hear (and smell) the process.

We've been regular customers for years and have always bragged about this place and their pancakes…read moreto our friends. This time, however, the experience was disappointing and honestly made us feel bad in front of our companions, whom we had invited. We drove 30 minutes on a Saturday morning in 90-degree summer heat to have breakfast at this restaurant, so we were really looking forward to enjoying the experience. Unfortunately, it turned into a very disappointing visit. After waiting about 45 minutes for a table which is understandable during busy weekend hours, we were seated outside in front on the sidewalk, with the sun hitting half of the table. I ended up sitting in the corner with an umbrella post directly in front of me to avoid the sun. We asked for another table inside or somewhere with complete shade, but were told it would take a while because there wasn't another table available for eight. What made the situation more concerning was that our party included a pregnant mother and young children, who by any standard needed a little extra attention and comfort in that heat. Our waiter was very polite and attentive, but one of the plates was forgotten and arrived about 20 minutes after everyone else had been served. We then ordered pancakes after meals, which took another 40 minutes to arrive after checking on them twice!!! By that time, everyone was extremely hot and uncomfortable, and we couldn't even stay to enjoy them--which was the main reason we had to come here. Unfortunately, no apology was offered for the mess up, delays or the uncomfortable seating situation. We sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously. We still like this restaurant and have recommended it for years, but this visit fell far below our expectations. Better accommodations during extreme summer heat and more timely food service would have made a big difference.

There was a bit of a wait to get in, so reservations or joining the waitlist ahead of time is a better way to go, but once we were seated service was decent. We had a little one with us and had to get our own napkins for him while we were eating at the table since they were so busy, but they took our orders and brought the food and check in a timely manner. The food: I got the steak bowl- the steak was good, but for a "steak & egg bowl over garlic rice w/a side of greens" I expected savory andddd nope. *very* sweet. The steak marinade was already sweet (Hawaiian, makes sense) but the dressing on the salad was extremely sweet AND I realized as I ate the garlic rice I was *crunching on sugar*. Yep. Sugar. In the Garlic Rice. I asked the waitress before we left just to make sure I wasn't crazy if they did indeed put sugar in their rice and she said that they don't list it on the menu, but they caramelize brown sugar and then sprinkle it on top, and that it is a pretty sweet dish because the marinade, dressing, and aioli are all very sweet- and then they add sugar. She told me there is one chicken bowl on the menu that is over white rice and doesn't have sugar tossed into it- so good to know for next time! I don't know if I'd go back, it isn't cheap and I was sort of bummed that every option, even the savory ones, were very sugary. Also I got the egg over easy, and it was pretty much uncooked. I've never cared too much about a very over easy egg, but the whites hadn't solidified and that gave me the ick. Also got a kids meal for our baby- pancakes, eggs & bacon. It was a decent amount of food, really oily though. In the current move away from seed oils that was especially disappointing

Absolutely! Here's a vibrant and heartfelt review for Stacks Pancakes in Dana Point:…read more --- **Stacks Pancakes: A Taste of Aloha Right Here in SoCal!** If you've ever dreamed of a Hawaiian getaway but are stuck in Southern California, let me introduce you to your new favorite spot: Stacks Pancakes in Dana Point! This place is like a little slice of paradise, brimming with Ohana and Aloha, and I'm here for it! First off, the **macadamia nut pancakes** are a game changer. Moist, fluffy, and bursting with flavor, they practically dance on your taste buds! If you're not careful, you might just end up ordering a second stack--no judgment here! And don't even get me started on the **spam musubi**. It's like a warm hug from an old friend--authentic and oh-so-delicious! You can almost hear the waves crashing as you take your first bite. Now, let's talk about the **kalibi **. Cooked to perfection, it's the kind of dish that makes you want to shout "Aloha!" at the top of your lungs. Seriously, I think I might've shed a tear of joy with each forkful. To wash it all down, the **Hawaiian latte** is a must-try! It took me back to the islands I miss so much--smooth, rich, and just the right amount of tropical. I may or may not have been tempted to sip it while wearing a grass skirt. In a nutshell, Stacks Pancakes is a delightful culinary escape that'll leave you smiling from ear to ear. So gather your friends and family, and experience the warmth of Hawaii without leaving the mainland. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! Aloha and pancakes for all!

The location alone is worth the visit--the views of Dana Point Harbor are absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for the evening. The restaurant was set up beautifully, with soft music playing in the background that made for a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The meal was a fixed menu, and every course was delicious, especially after a long drive. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special thank you to Mr. Zdrakas, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was especially kind to my son and even jokingly offered him a job after he pitched in to help. While we were there under difficult circumstances, Proud Mary's made the experience as warm and enjoyable as possible. If you're looking for a beautiful waterfront venue for a private event, I highly recommend Proud Mary's. We look forward to visiting again under happier circumstances.

Food was not good. We originally went there for brunch but they still serving at 12, so we were…read morestuck with the lunch menu. The clam chowder was horrible. Tasted like bad flour gravy with little to no potatoes or clams. Don't order this. My Cesar salad came with chicken, anchovies, croutons, and like 4 cherry tomatoes. The anchovies were whole and there were 3. I like that they asked if I wanted them (I did) but I wish they were chopped up instead of whole. The cheese on the salad was hard like it had been sitting out and the chicken seemed like it was some cheap breast defrosted. They could have grilled the chicken, had fresh black pepper to make it a lot better. The French fries on my son's plate were honestly sad looking. Cold and soggy. My husband ordered fish tacos and chili and admitted he's had better meals in his life. We drove pretty far to try this place and honestly wish we went next door for better food. Service was ok, our soups came out before we got our drinks, which I didn't like. The food is super overpriced for the quality. The best part was the view.... Hence the second star. I won't go 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!!

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 burrito was also delicious, sloppy and makes sleeping on an uneven ground all the more worth it. But even if that wasn't an issue I would still come back here on a regular basis if I lived closer.
