- AAndrewVIPOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoFirst time visiting and was impressed with the food. This is the old Brick space and they have the same pizza oven. Meatballs were primo. Arugula salad was huge and tasty but could use some more hazelnuts. Pizza 10-10 Spaghetti carbonara was very good but they used chorizo? and not bacon lardons and that was a let down, but technically well done dish.More infoParlor, Woodfire Kitchen & CocktailsPrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.6

The 2 of them worked like the perfect team and our entire family enjoyed the food as well as the experience. The best "Home Town" Winery!More infoRancho Capistrano Winery - San ClementePrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.7
- RRonaldOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 28, 2024We didn’t even know the place existed until we ordered several dinners thru Door Dash. We decided we had to go to the restaurant to see where it was and what was it like. We were pleasantly surprised. It’s located in the San Clemente Inn that in the 70s was where the Nixon support and news groups would stay. The decor of the restaurant hasn’t changed, and it’s neat to see the “retro” 70s surroundings. The service was excellent. I had the salmon and my wife the filet mignon. Both were excellent. The menu is limited but adequate, and they are working on expanding the wine selection. We were surprised that the restaurant was almost empty on Sunday night. That reflects the lack of publicity since we have lived in San Clemente for 35 years, and even if it has only been open for two years, we and our friends didn’t know it existed. Maybe consider it “ a diamond in the rough”. Great place and easy parking. Worth a try.More infoRivieraPrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.5
