Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

Alejandro was AMAZING. Never hurried us and we enjoyed a wonderful time. The food was exquisite. We were celebrating our 43rd anniversary and Alejandro mentioned it and congratulated us a couple of time. We had a fabulous experience and you are lucky to have him working there for you.

First time visiting Jack's for a birthday treat for lunch on a sunday afternoon. Service and greeting was excellent. The lunch prices and cocktail prices we're very reasonable and our food choices were delicious. Will definitely be back.

Great restaurant experience. Food is excellent. Been going here for years with groups and it never disappoints.

Christmas or New Year dinners at a restaurant are, by their very nature (i.e. a time everyone wants off and demand outstrips supply) going to be a compromise scenario. The experience here was surprisingly uncompromised. The service was fantastic, the appetizers (clam chowder, spinach salad, artichokes) were uniformly wonderful and generously proportioned, main courses were very good as well, although the prime rib wasn’t quite as well seasoned as one might expect, it too was cooked properly and properly proportioned. Don’t read that as a complaint, not on Christmas, nope, that was a minor compromise that did not diminish from a wonderful experience.

Absolutely amazing food, we were a group of 5 and we shared meals, everything we ordered was fantastic, especially the house made lobster ravioli !! My only suggestion would be to have a more extensive wine list, the live music was fabulous, really added to the ambiance
