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 wife got a burger cooked the way she liked. Had fries and my wife ordered the tomatoes with blue cheese. Some of the best tasting fries I've had. Both of us really liked the tomatoes. The restaurant was well decorated with a varied menu. Aldan, our server did a terrific job. Never left us for too long, kept the water filled as well as the ice tea. Their desert was great. It was huge and very flavorful. I had two minor issues. They only had mango ice tea. Also I ordered a Diet Coke, it was $4 for a miniature bottle. Maybe only 6 oz. Kind of skimmpy. Other than that I loved this place.

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.

I usually don't write reviews of fantastic restaurants like South of Nick's and then lead with…read more.. **the salad**. Yet here we are. First, the obvious: South of Nick's does upscale Mexican food extremely well. Great flavors, great atmosphere, and plenty of menu choices that can completely destroy any good intentions you had when you walked in. BUT--the Filet & Chopped Salad deserves some attention. This thing was awesome. The filet was cooked perfectly, the salad was incredibly flavorful, and somehow I finished dinner feeling like a million bucks instead of needing to be transported to my car on a furniture dolly. The key was showing a little restraint with the chips and salsa--which, at South of Nick's, requires considerable discipline. Normally after a great Mexican dinner, I'm loosening the belt and questioning several decisions I made over the previous 90 minutes. Not this time. Great steak, great salad, tons of flavor, and I walked out feeling surprisingly light. Who knew you could go out for Mexican food, eat an amazing meal, and leave feeling **healthier than when you arrived?** I'm as confused as anyone.

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.

A few surprises My sister ordered the Cali eggs Benedict the potatoes wee supposed to be smashed, they were halved. The avocado slices looked old due to the dark tone on them, not the normal green. My chilaquiles had black beans, not mentioned in the menu description; great surprise. There was supposed to be sour cream on my chilaquiles and there wasn't any. It would have cut some of the sourness of the chile verde sauce. I chose poached eggs in stead of fried ones. My eggs were over cooked and cold. I am pretty sure they were precooked. I would give them another try, maybe for lunch.

Food: We started off with the coconut shrimp. The coconut shrimp was good. The coconut was crispy and the shrimp was well done for the main dish. I got the Cali Benedict. It was Soooo good. The hollandaise sauce was so tasty. The shrimp was fully seasoned and the potato's were well seasoned and huge. I recommend people getting this dish. Ambiance: The ambiance was great. There wasn't really a lot of people so that was nice. Just kids screaming and cry from time to time.

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.

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

It's tough to find good mussels with a very of sauce options but they've got that covered for you here. First visit, I had the White Beer sauce and that was fantastic. It was just the right amount of beer to not be overpowering. Second visit, I had the Garlic and Crème and wow - if you like garlic, this is an excellent choice. Creamy, garlicky, but again not overpowering. My toddler had the chicken breast plate and luckily it was a hit for her (of course the fries more than anything else). The chicken breast was moist and tender, so that made this an easy choice. Brussels Bistro is now becoming a must visit when in San Clemente - can't wait to go back!

They had a few tables. They originally wanted to seat us inside, but we requested the open window seat. Our waiter tried to sell us wine when we sat down. We ordered the Creamy Chicken with Ratatouille for $29 and Steak Frites with red wine sauce for $34. The Creamy Chicken was really good and fun to eat with the puff pastry. The Ratatouille was alright, we were not a fan. We got the Steak Frites medium and felt like it should've tasted better. We did appreciate that we did taste the red wine. The Belgians fries were hot and crispy. They were quite generous with the salt. The decor was nice. The food was descent. The kept refilling our water without us asking which was nice. We did not like that the waiters kept rushing us to leave at the end when there were plenty of open tables. The place was packed by dinner time when we returned to the area.
