My wife and I stopped by Jane in San Clemente for a date night while visiting from San Diego and…read morestaying overnight, and the whole vibe was incredibly chill. The music mix was one of my favorite parts. They played a little bit of everything from A to Z, so there was something for everyone to enjoy, which is exactly what I look for in a bar. Huge shoutout to Dean for the amazing drinks and the solid drink selection. The standout of the night was an off menu drink recommended by a regular, Jeremy. Shoutout to Jeremy! Peter made the drink and it is worthy of a spot on the menu. The Rattlesnake Milk was exactly what I came in looking for. I am dating myself a bit, but it reminded me of the pink SoBe drink, with a nice smoky bite at the tail end that mezcal lovers will appreciate. Top notch cocktail with a top notch, friendly crew. We had a great time and will definitely add this to our must visit spots when coming up from San Diego. Good cocktails and a good time.

Unprofessional host, blatant favoritism…read more BLUF: The host treated the bar like a house party -- saving seats and catering to his friends instead of paying guests. We went to Jane on Saturday, January 17th around 8:30-8:45 pm for a nightcap with a group of three. It was crowded, which was fine -- the service was not. The host (a man in his late 20s or early 30s with a buzz cut and mustache) had us put our name in but couldn't give even a rough wait estimate. He then told us there were open seats at the bar. As we walked toward them, he immediately went to his friends sitting nearby, and they jumped up and took the bar seats he had just told us were available. We waited 40 minutes and received a text that our "table for three" was ready -- only to be told when we returned that there was actually standing room only. When we again saw open bar seats, the same friends reappeared and claimed they were "saving them" because they'd gone out to smoke. The host backed them up. This felt less like a cocktail lounge and more like a place where the host plays bouncer for his friends. Prioritizing friends over paying guests, brushing people off, and mismanaging the waitlist is incredibly unprofessional. We left without ever being served. For a place that positions itself as a cocktail lounge, this kind of favoritism is unacceptable and disappointing.

We finally made it for their Sunday prime rib and it was worth the wait. Normally, my issue with…read moreprime rib is often the fat isn't rendered enough or you have to cut around hunks of fat, but the butchery on this one made it so easy to separate the meat and the fat and was a perfect cook temperature. It came with some sautéed greens, a rustic mash, a little jus and horseradish sauce (which I prefer to be much punchier but was still good on the plate) We also started off with the chicken wings which are hands down the best I've ever tasted, along with the caprese. We order these two each visit. Service is always with a smile, drinks flowed nicely and water is stays topped up. As busy as it gets in the front dining section, we find the acoustics are good, and have no trouble chatting throughout the meal.

This is my favorite place in San Clemente! The pizza is so good, we love the fennel sausage one!…read moreThe calamari is also crispy and delicious and the bread and butter basket is really really good. I tried the pasta for the first time and it was definitely good, but I do prefer the pizza. Service is always so nice especially Hunter at the bar. It can get quite busy so either make a reservation or get there early. Or sit at the bar like we do!

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in San Clemente! I love everything about this restaurant…read more.. It is situated in a historic building, just south of Palizada. They have both inside and outside dining, but the outside dining is my favorite. When you sit outside you feel like you've been transported to a European village. The trellis is covered with beautiful lilacs, the fireplace is cozy and the church behind the restaurant makes for a beautiful backdrop! Not only is the atmosphere fantastic but I've never had bad service. Tonight we were lucky enough to sit outside next to the fire place. Our waiter came over quickly and took our drink orders and told us the specials. All the dishes are contemporary American cuisine with a European twist...crafted using fresh, vibrant, and locally sourced ingredients. We started with one of the nightly specials, which was Hamachi Crudo, it was excellent! Along with that we tried the Goat Cheese Fondue. Then we moved on to dinner with two of us having the nightly special of Halibut topped with Arugula Salad. Another had the.Braised Short Ribs and the other had the Lamb Ragu Pasta. For dessert with tried the Fig Butter Cake and a Chocolate Pot de Crème... everything was delicious! If you are looking for a delicious meal or a romantic night out, I highly recommend this location!

We ordered a second, and commented to the waiter but he did not comp the half empty pour, which I think should have happened. For starters we tried the fig salad with pickled sultanas, walnuts with a lovely citrus dressing, We also had a Caesar salad, both were large enough to share and very fresh. The scallops were cooked perfectly but needed more salt and flavor, the roasted vegetables were fresh and flavorful, We also had the beef with purple cabbage and it was delicious. There is a pretty courtyard area with fire pits but we sat inside as it was a little chilly outside. The menu is adequate, I only wish they were open for lunch as I'd love to try the wagyu burger with truffle fries.

Unfortunately, he was disappointed because, according to him, it wasn't the same anymore. We were seated immediately when we came into the restaurant. They had many artworks on the wall that you could purchase. They also had a nice rear patio if the weather is nice enough. He ordered the calamari, and even I could agree that it was disappointing because it was very chewy, and the sweet sauce they had on it was not a good combination. I had to squirt some lemons on it to balance the taste, and it was still not a good balance because it was too sweet. We both ordered the Beach Fire Cheeseburger. The fries were frozen, and they definitely tasted frozen, which was probably also the case for the calamari. We both finished half of our burger. They were okay. There are definitely other spots you can try in this area.

What a wonderful restaurant. Amazing food. Went with my…read morewife to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The service was outstanding. They comp us a delicious cauliflower appetizer and delicious oatmeal cookie ice cream desert. My wife had the huge 22 Oz 45 day aged ribeye stesk which was the best.

The vegetables that accompanied the meals were perfect. The waitress was awesome with her kindness and thoughtfulness. The entire staff wished us a Happy anniversary. A very memorable meal and sure to return.

So many great choices...We had the scallops and gnocchi appetizer and the 45-day 22 oz ribeye steak (my bf and I split it). There was a split fee but not a big fee. The food was fantastic and paired well with the wine I brought for the occasion (there was a small corkage fee). Ambiance was great! The bar seemed to be the happening place! We ended up sitting at a booth in the restaurant area. Would definitely go again! Wish they were open for lunch.

The first move is you walk in and order at the counter, the line moves quickly and the girl who took our order was very knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell these employees are trained well. They give you a number and you grab a table. We were there on a Saturday night at 6:45 and we had no problems getting a table. Pro tip: Order beers & appetizers at the counter and then hang and have a couple of drinks and order dinner with your waitress. The food: Tallow Fries - Must order, the best fries you'll ever have. With the homemade ketchup good lawd! We got 2 baskets for 4 of us. We should have gotten 3 baskets. Coastal smash - 2 Pattie's, no seed oil sauce, pickles, onions, cheese on a fabulous brioche style bun. My wife LOVED this. Brisket tacos - An absolute winner. Smokey, salty, tangy, plenty of umami with cilantro and pickled onions. Fire! The only thing i would have loved was some sort of salsa. Maybe there was and I missed it. Caesar salad wrap chicken - this was a sleeper hit. My daughter is a Caesar salad conissuer and this was right up her ally. And with avocado oil Caesar dressing, no garbage! Comeon. Grilled fish tacos - very fresh and good. I think there was a sauce but these were dry. It needed more sauce and some salsa. Mind you the quality was there, so I had no problem eating them. But they were a bit bland honestly. 10/10 friendly service 10/10 easability if ordering and seating. 9/10 Food This will become one of our favorite family spots no doubt. Thank you Coastal Cowboy for caring enough to be seed oil free and health conscious with your cuisine.

I don't mind tipping servers however ordering at the counter isn't service. Cool that you can eat at the counter but still having to order in a line rather than a server. Restroom very clean! That's a huge plus. Pricey place however what do you expect from a tourist place. Ahhh. Restroom so clean I had to leave a gift Food was very tasty . Got fish n chips and a side of rice. The rice was A+. Fish and tarter was very good. . Why not give five stars. Well. Service for a 22 buck 2 piece fish n chips could use some help.
