Beer: I tried the Futuristics Paradise. It was a triple-hazy IPA with a 10.4 ABV. I think you…read moreshould get this drink if you like strong IPAs. I also thought it was cute that they had a fruit juice flight for kids. It had different juices, like apple, grape, etc. Service: The service is always lovely, and the guy behind the counter is very knowledgeable. Ambiance: The ambiance is good. The music is chill and groovy. It is just a chill place. Overall rating a solid 5.0

Turk's never disappoints!…read more I don't get down to Dana Point often, but when I do Turk's is a must. The food, the drink, the service, and the ambience are always great! We had a fun and great meal. Shout out to our server, Cheri. She delivered our meal perfectly and helped make it fun. Pro tip: Get the fried Zucchini! It's generously portioned and awesome. I washed my meal down with a couple of Maker's rocks and a Coors Light as one does. Long live Turk's. Cheers!

It takes forever and even the drinks take awhile. We went to cancel our food and she said it's coming. She wasn't too friendly the entire time. I feel bad but at the same time I tried to be friendly and nice so I feel uncomfortable when people aren't friendly. We gave her our card right when the food came to charge. We finished our food and still didn't get the card back. I finally found our server and waited awhile for her to finally charge the card. Only saving grace was that she apologized for the slow service when she handed the receipt to sign. The fish and chips were sub. Definitely not worth it. Just go for the drinks and view

The bartenders are absolutely amazing and they somehow always remember what you like. Becca and Erin truly make this place what it is -- they're the kind of people who turn a quick stop into the highlight of your night. That said, you really can't go wrong with anyone behind the bar or on the floor. Every person I've met here has been welcoming, fun, and genuinely invested in making your experience enjoyable. I don't live nearby anymore, but I make a point to stop in every time I'm back in the area because the staff is that great. If you're looking for a restaurant/bar with great vibes, great drinks, and even better people, this is it. I'll keep coming back whenever I can. I MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!

Uniqueness: Nothing too crazy, standard hotel dining…read more Wait Time: *** (Quick seating, but can get busy during peak hours) Food Quality: *** (Decent but not outstanding) Service: *** (Friendly but a bit slow) Setting: *** (Standard hotel ambiance) Cost: *** (A bit pricey for the quality) This hotel restaurant is fine, but there's nothing crazy special about it. The food is decent, but not worth the higher price tag. Service was friendly, but a bit slow at times. The atmosphere is just what you'd expect from a hotel restaurant--nothing unique or memorable. If you're staying at the hotel, it's a convenient option, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

I came here for dinner on a Sunday night, and it was a very good experience…read more This restaurant has loud, trendy bar vibes for a family dinner, a date night, or even a girls night out. The parking is definitely limited, as I saw from other reviews on Yelp. On a Sunday evening it was very easy, however. The menu is fairly limited, and I wish they had a few more fish options, though the salmon I saw looked absolutely incredible. I had the chicken caesar salad. The chicken was a large portion, and so tasty. The dressing was SO good. They did forget dressing on both of our salads which was kind of annoying for a simple caesar (so we had to get a side of it). That being said, once we did get dressing, I seriously could've drank the stuff it was so yummy. They also scorch their tomatoes in the salad to perfection. I also tried the crispy tuna appetizer, which was surprisingly different from similar versions I have had at sushi restaurants (not in a bad way). The fish was very fresh and I would order this appetizer again. I think it came with five fairly small pieces (just so you know how many to order for a crowd). If you are feeling dessert, they have an incredible (and massive) butter cake!

Great Saturday evening dinner. The front staff are very friendly, great upfront team…read more Started off with the Meatballs, this was not a very good dish. They were hard and dry on the outside...not moist...must have been heated up poorly. The Farmers Market Salad was great...fresh peaches and burrata cheese...so good! The Wedge Salad is exceptional, as well. Not pictured. The Crispy Rice Sushi was very, very good. Spicy and the Wasabi was just the right mix. The Steak Frits was prepared perfectly at Medium Rare with the chimmi-churi green sauce complimented the steak perfectly. Although getting fries with your steak dinner seems more of a lunch side and not a dinner side. However, the fries were seasoned and tasted good. We didn't order drinks...we were more hungry and wanted to save room for the Butter Cake dessert! Incredible...this is a must have. I highly recommend this place. You'll have a very good time...food, et all.

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!

Our server took the time to walk us through the beer menu and made great recommendations based on what we like. Even though they are a brewery, it was nice to see that they also offer cocktails. I had a flight and honestly enjoyed every beer we tried. We also ordered the Scotch egg, and it was delicious. If we were not on our way to a family lunch, we definitely would have ordered more food because everything looked tempting. Overall, great vibes, great service, and great libations and food. Highly recommend stopping by.

I can honestly say I'll be back, and then back again etc. Servers are attentive, kind and you really feel good here. I can't wait to try the O' Rueben sandwich, Irish Nachos and so on next time.
