    Kid's Birthday Pancakes
    Dee G.

    Honestly, I have not been to Denny's in a very long time, this place was so good! We came in party of 6 got seated pretty quickly and got our food quick as well. They were super attentive my coffee was never not filled. Loveee that! The pancake were so good, the birthday pancakes didn't even need syrup. The veggie omelette omg so good and fulfilling , I was full till lunch for sure! The salad was fresh and good. It was great overall, I had no complaints.

    This is a great place to have a nice quiet breakfast that's located close to the Harbor. The staff here is very attentive and always friendly.

    We should be happier than this

    Jemmie is a wonderful, courteous, kind waitress. Our family will definitely be back here again for late night dinner/breakfast maybe even lunch lol. The food was good, it's Dennys so the pancakes are always spot on. Sabrina, order the patty melt, with mashed potatoes. We each enjoyed our choices. We can see the harbor from the large open circular seating. I prefer this Dana Point location compared to our local ones !

    We stopped here from the Sawdust Art Festival before driving home because we got the munchies! This Denny's was different from any others we've visited. It definitely had the retro diner vibe. When we arrived we didn't wait too long before we were seated in a booth. Our server came out with the menus and gave us a few minutes to peruse the offerings. We hadn't been to a Denny's in years and we were surprised at how extensive the menu was. We opted to order from the 55+ menu. He chose the scrambled egg with cheese and I ordered the starter meal. Both plates came out hot and both were very tasty. I ordered the gluten free English muffin and although it was buttered it did not taste appetizing and the 2 pieces of bacon were tiny. Everything else was very satisfying. Our server was a man of few words but he was friendly and very attentive. We noticed he was pretty busy bussing as well. The coffee was very good and our meals really hit the spot. This diner does outdoor seating on the street side! It's very clean and bright. The restroom was also clean. This was a great spot to settle our cravings and we would not hesitate to return.

    Everything. The eggs were all we needed. Everything outdid our expectations the experience was fabulous. Would 100% recommend.

    The cold coffee
    Lucas C.

    The food here is always delicious, whatever the chef is doing back there he needs to keep it up. The coffee this time was unfortunately very cold and we did not get very good service. I feel like the service here is lackluster but the ambiance and location somewhat make up for it. If it wasn't for the location I probably would be turned away by the cold coffee and not attentive employees. Other than that I usually have a great time here. Just wish it was a little more friendly.

    Delicious

    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.

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
