I almost drove back to the Dana Point Classic Car Show to purchase another. I've had quite a few Lobster Rolls while traveling and this is one of the absolute best.

Was excited to try a new poke place in hopes that I'd be able to frequent one closer to where I…read morelive, but I was disappointed by the poke from this place. I'm from Hawaii and was hoping for poke that would remind me of Hawaii but this just wasn't it. My husband and sister agreed that the poke was not good. The fish quality was poor and tasted like something that was previously frozen. The texture was awful...like chewing on something a little spongey, which is a sign the fish was previously frozen. The spicy tomato wasn't spicy and the original lacked flavor. Rice quality was mid. Didn't taste like sushi rice. My sister tried to order a half and half of two flavors and instead of making half of each, they mixed the two flavors. It was bizarre. Service was okay. Ambiance was that of a hole in the wall place. It's too bad we won't be going back. Definitely doesn't remind me of the poke in Hawaii.

The salmon quinoa bowl was very good and plentiful…read more I had the salmon chimichuri and my husband had the plain salmon one and they both were good. The restaurant is always busy.

For food, we had the calamari starter and carne asada steak. The corn came with the steak and it was too spicy for me. The steak was a little rough. They didn't give a lot of steak. The beans, rice, and guac with the steak was really good. Calamari had a lot of flavor and was good. Portion size was very generous for the calamari. Both dishes came with greens, which was nice. The fish tacos looked good, but I didn't taste it. You order at the counter and there was lots of seating, most inside and outside. We may return to a different location as it's a chain.

The vendors give more samples than I've seen at other farmers markets and it works. Tasting something so fresh keeps me coming back for more. The nuts, hummus, produce, sausage, and cheeses are good, I highly recommend them. Oh and the eggs & baked goods too! There's something unique (at least to me) at this market, they have a good size selection of dog food and treats.

The food is amazing, the coffee is on point, and the flowers are absolutely beautiful. Every time I go, it feels like there's something new to discover. It really seems like the market is growing all the time, with new vendors popping up weekly, which keeps it exciting and fresh One of the standout things for me is the pastries... they are to die for Seriously, if you go, do yourself a favor and grab some. Everything feels fresh, handmade, and worth indulging in. Between the baked goods, local food, and quality coffee, it's easy to make a whole experience out of it. What I really love is the overall vibe. It has that perfect mix of community, charm, and relaxed coastal energy that makes Dana Point special You can walk around with a coffee in hand, check out the vendors, grab amazing food, pick up fresh flowers, and just enjoy the whole atmosphere. Definitely worth the time, worth the money, and absolutely worth going for the experience alone. If you haven't been yet, go check it out. It's one of those places that makes you want to come back again and again

Wow! What a gem!! My boyfriend and I discovered Glasspar spontaneously on a Saturday late afternoon…read morewhile we were taking the trolley and enjoying the breezy free ride down the coast. We happened to stop nearby and decided to look around this plaza. We were starting to get hungry and Glasspar looks like the most appealing option so we decided to check it out. HAPPY HOUR: Mon-Thurs 4:30-6pm, Fri-Sat 4-6pm. Wow what a deal. I normally don't think about happy hour deals on Saturdays but we were pleasantly surprised. It was 5:30pm already so we had to make some quick decisions. Chad was very friendly and helpful with our order. We decided to get a Dozen and a Half Oysters (HH $3/each), an Oyster Shooter (HH $5), Duck Fat French Fries (HH $7), 1/2 lb Steamed Clams (HH $13), and Seafood Poke (HH $12). The specialty cocktails were such a good deal I wanted 2 but asked my boyfriend to order one so I don't look like too much of an alcoholic. I had the White Sangria Spritzer (HH $12) and a G3 (HH $12). Everything came out in a reasonable amount of time and Chad communicated checking on things for us as we were waiting. He was really on top of it. The oysters were awesome! My only regret was not ordering more. For the dozen and a half came with 6 of each of Baracats, Stingrays, and Pacific Plumps. I thought the baracats and stringrays were mild. My favorite was definitely the pacific plumps; it was sweet and creamy with a good bite to it. The shucking was also really well. I just want to give them that credit. The oyster shooter was strong, in a good way. Tasty! The duck fat fries were nice and crispy. It came with a rich truffle aioli. The steamed clams were good, but the slice of bread they gave us with it was burnt to an inedible level. I also would have liked a spoon to sip that garlic white wine and butter liquid. Clams were fresh. The seafood poke came with crispy wonton chips. It was decent. After our original order we decided we wanted to finish off with somethings small, so we got the Clam Chowder ($14). I would have liked it a smidge thicker in texture but the taste and the quality of ingredients are on point. I get the bacon essence and a good amount of clams in the soup too. I'm really glad we added that to our order. I also really like that the check comes in books. Chad told us that we can write a note in it if we want. They look at it like a way to interact with their customers. So cute!! We are DEFINITELY coming back here!! Next time I'll order even more oysters :)

First time here and we loved it! All the food was so fresh and well plated. Service was wonderful…read more Environment wasn't super loud but also wasn't dead silent. Definitely a kid friendly place for the wide variety of dishes. I was so excited I forgot to take a picture of the Oyster Rockefellers. Those were tasty, decadent, but not too overwhelming. The cod fish had this curry sauce on it that was so good you could drink it. The inspirational dish of the day was this wild sea bass. It's so difficult to find a place that can prepare fish that isn't too dry or salty, Glasspar was fantastic.

On July 4th, during our family trip to Dana Point, we went on a two-hour dolphin-watching cruise…read moreand then had a family lunch together. For lunch, my dad ordered the Mahi Mahi, and my mom got the Clam Chowder Bowl and Sliders. I ordered a cup of Clam Chowder. I was so severely seasick that I could barely eat anything, but since I absolutely love clam chowder--and figured I'd be starving later if I skipped lunch entirely--I decided to just have a little bit of soup. One of my brothers had the Ceviche, and my other brother got the Smoked Salmon. The food here was absolutely delicious, the staff and servers were incredibly friendly, and the restaurant had a great atmosphere, so we were completely satisfied. The ocean view was also amazing. At first, we sat at an outdoor table, but later we asked to be moved inside. Even at the indoor table, we were seated by the ocean view, so we could still fully enjoy the scenery outside, which was wonderful. It was also great being able to watch the World Cup soccer match on TV while having lunch. If anyone is looking for a restaurant in Dana Point with delicious food, an ocean view, and friendly service, I would highly recommend this place.

Wind & Sea *May 30th, 2026…read more*11am- Saturday *4 Stars Environment: *Moderate Sized Parking Lot *Large Parking Structure *Indoor and Outdoor Seating *Friendly Service Food/Drink: *Hawaiian Chicken Came here to celebrate my aunt and sister's combined birthday celebration and made sure to arrive right when the restaurant opened so we could hopefully get outdoor seating. There was already a pretty good line forming when they opened, so I'd definitely recommend getting there early if you want to sit outside. I ordered the Hawaiian Chicken, and the chicken itself was moist and flavorful, although slightly salty for my taste. The outdoor seating was definitely the highlight though, with really nice views of the water and a relaxing atmosphere. There's a decent amount of parking near the restaurant, although many of the spots seem mainly intended for those with boats. There is also a larger parking structure about a 5-minute walk away with plenty of parking available. Since I was a little crunched for time, I didn't get the chance to explore the surrounding shops, but I'm hoping to do that next time I'm in the area.
