Fresh seafood and casual coastal vibes!…read more I tried Seasurf after a long day at the beach, and it was a filling meal with good quality fish! The poke salad came with a generous amount of vegetables, I ended up finishing the tuna poke and taking home half of the salad. The poke was fresh and well seasoned! The wait was a little long on the weekend, it took roughly 40 minutes to get our food. Street parking is available, and it's around a 15-20 minute walk to the beach!

My only complaint is that they put all of our food in to go containers when we were dine in and when I asked the server if they could transfer it they just gave some shareable plates instead. It felt lazy when I already tipped prior to our service. Our order was literally triple the size of everyone else's so why'd they make it all to go.. Miches were awesome tho

Sadly it's now permanently closed as of May 3, 2026, after over 46 years in business…read more Our family wanted to make sure that we went there today. To thank the very kind owner who loves the Dana point community for generations, and visitors, first time equally as much. We wanted to get their delicious clam chowder, and wonderful fried fish, on today, their final day. The service was always excellent. The chill Dana Point Harbor, was always relaxing, nurturing, all year. Thank you, once again, and blessings for all the decades of wonderful deliciously fresh seafood, an extremely affordable price as well. - That you provided all your customers. Hopefully that beautiful large realistic looking swordfish that's been hanging on the restaurant wall ever since I was 10 years old - Will find a wonderful new home! oh, and that huge shark! (this place has personality, and heart, and will be missed dearly)

Well, you made your choice and you lost a customer and your reputation. Good luck. DO NOT RECOMMEND EATING HERE!!!!!!

Came to Dana Point to spoil my family, looking forward to going to Jon's fish market, only to find…read morethat it closed 3 months ago :( was looking for fresh grilled fish that was similar, and this restaurant popped up. Let me tell you- the unplanned is always the best! I had been wanting to try it but knowing the other locations had hard parking, and man oh man, one of my favorite meals and so well priced! 1. Red snapper with veggies and mushrooms. Wow! The fish was so full of flavor even before the sauce, well portioned, well priced. And the veggies were filling and cooked to perfection! 2. Fish and chips - have been on a mission to find good fish and chips- the fish was huge, tasty and meaty! Just a bit oily, but still YUMMY! Service: Corrina seriously is the reason I am writing this review! As I was frustrated with the parking situation by the harbor and just tired, she turned around my mood! She was so passionate and joyful about what she does and the food she serves! And she gave us the lowdown on the whole construction situation in Dana point! Thank you for your amazing service!!! Lastly: the inside is so pretty, inviting, and spread out and clean! Def will be back!! Thank you!

Came on a Friday afternoon and saw that they had Happy Hour pricing available so told the hostess…read moreup front (I read that if you don't specify then you may not get seated in the happy hour section and they may deny ordering from Happy hour, so we had no issues when I specified to the hostess). Got the: 1) lobster deviled eggs: 10/10, what sets a great deviled egg apart from mediocre ones is the filling, and the filling was absolutely scrumptious. 3 egg halves came with a lobster leg piece each. 2) crab cake: 5/10, never been a huge fan of crab cakes and unfortunately this did not change my mind either. It was still fishy and we ended up using the lemon for the cocktail shrimp on the crab cakes. Definitely will not get again. It's disappointing as seafood from Hook and Anchor is usually higher quality than this. 3) cocktail shrimp: 10/10, Interesting presentation on ice rather than a glass. 6 pieces of large juicy crispy shrimp with delicious cocktail sauce, and I love that they even added an extra dollop of horseradish because I love cocktail sauce with a good kick! 4) 6oz lobster roll: 8/10, the Newport Beach location gets a 10/10 for me because at this location: - The lobster was not very warm by the time it came to the table. - It looked deceivingly overflowing, but they actually did not fill the bottom half of the roll, so if you stuffed it all the way in, then it was just barely filling the roll. - mostly leg pieces and some of them were on the small side TLDR: great for happy hour (be sure to specify happy hour to the hostess to be able to order at the correct seat) but not up to par to the Newport Beach location.

We were driving home on the 5 and we were looking for some Mexican food. El ZARANDEADO came up on…read moreour Yelp search so we gave it a try. It was Amazing. If your looking for Mexican seafood style this is the place. We tried the fried ahi tacos shrimp cocktail, and the shrimp ceviche. Each was was filled with flavor and fresh. We like it hot so we liberally added the Tapatio. Our kids kept it simple with kids menu items that are also available (chicken nuggets and burrito). The ambiance for lunch was a clean location with large TVs but space for small and large groups. The service was quick and helpful, our server Marlena was great providing insight to favored dishes.

Not sure if they don't have a manager but this place is in desperate need of management. When we walked up the employee working the host stand just stared at us so I said "hi we are here for dinner." And she replied "Okay" but then walked away. She came back and said we could sit on the outside now if we wanted so we took that. We were seated at 6:45-6:50 and apparently they have a special that ends at 7. The server didn't get to us until after 7 so we asked for the special but you would have thought we were asking for the server's first born. The server/runner who brought our food to our table looked like she was having a rough day. She dropped off the food in the dead center of a large table and said nothing. Now, the place is pretty awesome right on the pier. Also, the food was actually good - we were not optimistic based on the service. Lastly, I thought their prices were quite reasonable. We will swing over there in a few weeks and try 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.

He also was sweet enough to bring our daughter a blanket to make her comfy. It gets a little chilli outside on the patio so they offer nice, warm blankets. By far the best service I have ever had! I didn't take photos of everything, but we loved every dish we had. We ordered the mushroom plate as an appetizer, definitely an acquired taste. If you're not a mushroom person, I don't suggest it lol. We also had the octopus plate to share, and it was amazing!!!! Jiyan explained how it is prepared and he had us at, "it's not chewy," because who knew octopus wasn't supposed to be chewy lmao! The oysters were our favorite, you can never go wrong with some raw, clean oysters! The pasta and branzino were so perfectly prepared as well. Beautiful presentation and just the right amount of heavy and light. Ube Sansrival was the perfect way to finish the course, found out the chef is a Filipina!!! Makes sense why everything was so delicious HIGHLY RECOMMENDDDDDD THIS PLACE!!! Biggg shout out to Jiyan and the chef!!!!

We got seated immediately but it was right next to the hostess stand.. which felt like the lobby of the restaurant. Honestly felt like the reject zone. Especially when the pictures in Yelp of the interior looked so nice and had a great view. We had no view. The server asked if we wanted sparkling or still water, I got sparkling and he got still. Turns out they were $8 each.. had I known that, I prob would have gotten an actual drink. The bread was complimentary and that was great, especially since our toddler loved the sun dried tomato tapenade. He also got the kids Mac and cheese, I got lobster risotto, & husband got the seafood orecchiette. Mac and cheese was just average, risotto was a little salty and a bit undercooked. Seafood orecchiette was tasty but nothing I'd crave again. Overall just an okay experience. When we got the check, noticed a 20% service charge and wasn't that happy about it since we only had 3 people, the food was just alright, and we had to sit in the weird lobby-like area of the restaurant. Would only ever come back for convenience, nothing else.

I knew I needed some seafood if I am this close to the ocean, so I ordered the a bowl of their clam chowder and the Northern halibut with coleslaw. The halibut and coleslaw were the stars of the show. The halibut was cooked perfectly with a nice crisp on the outside and a soft, delightfully flaky inside. They then pair it with a house made lemon butter sauce which was truly next level. I wish I could've bottled it to have for later. lol. The coleslaw was light and delicious. It stood strong on its own, though it paired so well with the halibut and the lemon butter sauce I would consider it as a personal must with therir halibut. The service was absolutely amazing. My server was super kind, attentive, and had friendly banter. They kitchen is open and you can see everything being prepared which was super cool. It is evident they take their craft and guest experience very seriously. I hope to have a reason to be back in the area and enjoy another trip to Coastal Kitchen.
