We were lucky to find one table open without waiting. And as usual the service was top-notch even though they were crowded and the food came out fresh and hot. Took my grandson because he's ready to join the Air Force academy and this may be his last meal here for a few years. He grew up on this place. They have one in Sunset Beach which is a little smaller a little less parking and this one in Dana point which always has plenty of street parking but both are coastal right on Pacific Coast Highway.

Service sucks. "Sit…read morewhere you want". "Okay". Sit in a booth with lots about. Wait at least 10 minutes before anyone comes by. Young kid who perhaps moments before was told to adorn the cafe t-shirt, pad shoved into his hand and told, " go take orders", only comes to our table after waving him down. The first one we made eye contact with never reappeared. He comes back with water, menus, and cutlery. Another 10-15 goes by. No sight. We depart. Restaurants frown on bringing outside food. For Harbor House Cafe I recommend packing a meal at home.

The only mild setback wa that we were seated in the back, near where someone was power washing some floor mats, and we could hear (and smell) the process.

At RJ's Café in Dana Point Harbor, thick, meaty slices deliver genuine flavor and a satisfying texture that puts ordinary deli meat to shame. Paired with ripe tomato and Swiss on golden, toasted bread, the ingredients promise a standout lunch. There's just one hitch: This was supposed to be a melt, yet the Swiss barely budged. Instead of that silky, gooey layer that brings everything together, the cheese remained stubbornly intact. A little more time on the grill would make a noticeable difference. Served alongside crisp-edged breakfast potatoes and a pickle, the meal has plenty going for it. Between the excellent turkey and the harbor setting, RJ's earns its place on the lunch list. Melted Swiss would simply make the experience that much better.

Been craving Hawaiian style plate lunch all week so this weekend while looking for a brunch spot…read more in south county OC I found Breezy on Yelp and it was the perfect "2 birds with one stone" scenario. Right on the main strip of San Juan Capistrano Checked in and told it was a quick wait so we grabbed some coffee at their counter cafe and walked the strip. 20 min later we were seated. The ambience is casual but the ties in all the decor and them so nicely it made the vibe feel some what vintage island classy(if that makes sense) A nice surprise, it's not Hawaiian but more hybrid with a Filipino flair. Wifey and I shared the "easy breezy" she wanted something sweet and I wanted savory so that plate was able to check both boxes. Got the Longonisa sausage which had the amazing chunks of fat inside and they fillet it which gave more crisp texture. For eggs over medium perfectly cooked. Came with these yummy deep fried quartered small potatoes super crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Wifey got the Ube French toast with it which were not too sweet but still eggy sweet delicious with the ube flavor standing out. The toasts were thick and pillowy, with a perfect golden brown color. We also added a side of garlic rice. Let's not forget the vinegar dip with some chilis and garlic perfect acidity for the savory longonisa sausage if there was anything at all to improve it was the garlic rice. I was hoping it would have some tiny garlic pieces in it but maybe I got the portion that didn't have garlic gotta try it again! The staff was amazing quick and responsive I met the owners who are the coolest and sweetest couple. overall a great spot for a meal at any time during the day.

For me, though, everything felt a bit oversized, and I would've happily traded some of the volume for slightly higher‑quality ingredients. Nothing was bad, just more about quantity than refinement. If you're looking for a hearty, no‑nonsense breakfast that will keep you full for hours, this is your spot. If you lean toward smaller portions and ingredient‑forward dishes, it may not be your first choice. I gave it a 3 vs a 4 because the pancakes were doughy on the inside

Originally opened in 1977, Proud Mary's has been serving Dana Point diners for breakfast and lunch…read morefor decades. They specialize in casual breakfast and lunch options. I would say the main selling point is the location right on the water and the friendly service. There are other places in Orange County to get a better breakfast in terms of food, but this location is hard to beat. They did a great job with the remodel after the fire in the early 2000s and I can see why it is very popular. There is a large free parking lot attached right behind the restaurant, so parking is very easy. Everything that we ordered came out very fast, and our server was very polite. For this visit, I chose the Chili Cheese Omelette and thought it was pretty good. There was very little cheese, however, and for some reason there were a lot of mushrooms in it, even though that was not listed on the menu. It wasn't a traditional chili cheese, and I would definitely not order it again or suggest it. Others at our table got the Traditional Pancakes and Eggs, and enjoyed their breakfast a lot more. I would suggest if you are already in the area and would like a quick casual option.

The location alone is worth the visit--the views of Dana Point Harbor are absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for the evening. The restaurant was set up beautifully, with soft music playing in the background that made for a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The meal was a fixed menu, and every course was delicious, especially after a long drive. What really stood out was the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special thank you to Mr. Zdrakas, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was especially kind to my son and even jokingly offered him a job after he pitched in to help. While we were there under difficult circumstances, Proud Mary's made the experience as warm and enjoyable as possible. If you're looking for a beautiful waterfront venue for a private event, I highly recommend Proud Mary's. We look forward to visiting again under happier circumstances.

Best fish tacos I have ever tasted!!…read more My family and I have been coming to this delightful establishment for years, as no matter where we go we are hard pressed to find fish tacos that measure up; the delectably moist, flavorful fish tacos and gnarly nachos keep bringing us back. Our only regret is being local to the area for two years before discovering this gem, thus wasting two years of our lives not eating their sumptuous cuisine. The service is prompt and the servers friendly. The ambience is beach shack vibe, with outdoor seating that includes high top and regular tables, and an indoor bar and seating. If you're considering eating here, do not waste another moment of your life! Order the fish tacos and gnarly nachos. You will not be disappointed!!

When the FIFA World Cup starts, I love watching international football (soccer). For years, I was looking for the perfect place to watch the matches after my old favorite spot closed. I've been coming to The Point for more than 20 years, but I never realized what an amazing place it was to watch sports until the World Cup. The atmosphere is incredible. The sound system is fantastic, every TV is tuned to the same game with the live match audio, and no matter where you sit, you have a great view of multiple screens. It feels like you're inside the stadium, surrounded by fans who share the same passion for the beautiful game. I saw people from different backgrounds coming together, cheering, laughing, and enjoying the matches as one community. That's what sports are all about--unity and friendship. I want to thank everyone at The Point Restaurant & Bar for creating such a welcoming place for our community. Whether you're there to watch your favorite sport, enjoy a cold beer or another drink, or have a delicious meal, The Point has something for everyone. I highly recommend The Point Restaurant & Bar to anyone looking for a great place to watch sports, relax, and spend time with friends and family. Thank you again, The Point, for your outstanding service and for bringing our community together. -- Fahim Fazli See less
