I almost drove back to the Dana Point Classic Car Show to purchase another. I've had quite a few Lobster Rolls while traveling and this is one of the absolute best. I need to search where the food truck will be this weekend. I simply have to have another!

This truck was at a community event and it smelled really good. A king crab roll sounded amazing…read more It was decent, but not $23 good. Not a lot of crab and presentation was meh at best.

We ordered and took the balls to the nearby park and view which made the experience so much better…read more The food was very tasty and there are a lot of toppings that can be added. My only complaint is that from their topping list nothing is included, even though it's part of the options I did not think that was fair

Was excited to try a new poke place in hopes that I'd be able to frequent one closer to where I…read morelive, but I was disappointed by the poke from this place. I'm from Hawaii and was hoping for poke that would remind me of Hawaii but this just wasn't it. My husband and sister agreed that the poke was not good. The fish quality was poor and tasted like something that was previously frozen. The texture was awful...like chewing on something a little spongey, which is a sign the fish was previously frozen. The spicy tomato wasn't spicy and the original lacked flavor. Rice quality was mid. Didn't taste like sushi rice. My sister tried to order a half and half of two flavors and instead of making half of each, they mixed the two flavors. It was bizarre. Service was okay. Ambiance was that of a hole in the wall place. It's too bad we won't be going back. Definitely doesn't remind me of the poke in Hawaii.

The salmon quinoa bowl was very good and plentiful…read more I had the salmon chimichuri and my husband had the plain salmon one and they both were good. The restaurant is always busy.

Checked in for Fishies n chippies yayyeyayya!!…read more Fish n chips - 7/10 Fresh! Although not the most outstanding fish i've had but the chippies totally stole the show. Those chips were perfectly crispy, nicely salted, and flaky-ish texture. Fish I a bit bland for my liking, and breaks apart easily, wished it batter was crispier and thicker. But overall wasn't bad fish at all! Ambience- 8.5/10 I liked how wholesome it felt, very much community chill atmosphere. The ordering system was a bit strange, however wasn't super hard to navigate. But it was a very open space, fresh area that I enjoyed dining in. Service- 5/10 Very average service in my opinion, no negative experience. Just nothing remarkable, it was pretty much close to a self serve style. Except the part where they hand the food to you at your table, other than that you order yourself and help yourself at condiments station. I'd love to go back again to try their happy hour nezt time! Their menus seem very well expanded :)

This farmers market has a great vibe to it. Friendly vendors, not too crowded, close to the harbor,…read moreand I think it's great to support the locals. The vendors give more samples than I've seen at other farmers markets and it works. Tasting something so fresh keeps me coming back for more. The nuts, hummus, produce, sausage, and cheeses are good, I highly recommend them. Oh and the eggs & baked goods too! There's something unique (at least to me) at this market, they have a good size selection of dog food and treats.

Dana Point Farmers Market is such a gem and honestly one of my favorite ways to spend a morning or…read moreearly afternoon This market has such a great atmosphere. The food is amazing, the coffee is on point, and the flowers are absolutely beautiful. Every time I go, it feels like there's something new to discover. It really seems like the market is growing all the time, with new vendors popping up weekly, which keeps it exciting and fresh One of the standout things for me is the pastries... they are to die for Seriously, if you go, do yourself a favor and grab some. Everything feels fresh, handmade, and worth indulging in. Between the baked goods, local food, and quality coffee, it's easy to make a whole experience out of it. What I really love is the overall vibe. It has that perfect mix of community, charm, and relaxed coastal energy that makes Dana Point special You can walk around with a coffee in hand, check out the vendors, grab amazing food, pick up fresh flowers, and just enjoy the whole atmosphere. Definitely worth the time, worth the money, and absolutely worth going for the experience alone. If you haven't been yet, go check it out. It's one of those places that makes you want to come back again and 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.

You could find a coupon in a local magazine that would give you 20% off on $50 or more purchase. That would make it affordable for me (just a poor peasant from San Clemente).

I hope all these people (Employees) especially management can't find jobs elsewhere…read more The attitude in here is like something I've never seen. You stand at the bar for what seems like an eternity, then a table comes available, suddenly there's a wait. In the 40+ years I've been coming here, never has there been a wait for getting a table in the bar. Then, half the restaurant is empty but it's a 2 hour wait. I love it. Not only that but $20 for a drink is a little steep. I'm so tired of all the Dana Point Harbor "Hype" they want to talk about everything except what things are gonna cost when it's all done, especially the rent. Good luck with that There's plenty of other restaurants that will seat you within minutes. Off I go, ended up at Ichibiri. To hell with the Harbor.. I miss The Harbor Grill.

Sadly this place is closing down this fall. I reccommed you coming for a last visit before they…read moredo. Wind & Sea is my favorite spot to hang out while in Dana Point. They have strong good drinks, great food at good pricing, staff is wonderful, and the vibe is right. I last came here with about 7 other people. We ended up drinking and hanging out from the morning until about dinner time. They are known for their mai tais but all their drinks are good. For food they have lots of options but I normally go for their popular fish & chips or the cheeseburger with criss cross fries. They also have happy hour Monday-Friday 4-7pm. We got their calamari and the tibets off that menu. But honestly most their food is good. I do want to come back one last time and get their clam chowder in a bread bowl. The staff is super nice and friendly. If you come during a busy time there is a crazy line to get in. The restaurant looks over the marina so its really nice out in their patio. But inside is also nice with their large windows. They also sell merch too for affordable pricing. Parking is easy since theres a lot with up to 4 hours free and a lot in front but sometimes it gets full.
