Diner Reviews
  • "What delicious food and great service! Looking forward to my next visit."
    Dined on 5/31/2014
  • "I took a visitor from Berlin with me to Luxe the other night - hadn't been there yet but wanted to check it out after hearing good things from others. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The staff we friendly and attentive, and there was a wide selection of food and drink options; also excellent live entertainment (JT Douglas). The menu has both small plates and regular-sized selections; fun to have that option and we went with small plates, all of which were really excellent. Thumbs up!"

  • "We all liked most of the dishes we ordered which included... Ossobuco ravioli (very good), meatball sliders (great), meatballs (good), chicken lettuce wraps (good but not great), Insalata di Caprese (not a favorite at all). The menu had a really nice variety. Our server was very friendly. The only thing lacking for me was the overall ambiance. I felt like they tried to redo a divvy bar and make it a chic restaurant but it lacked the chic. I did not like how the main seating felt like a tiny corner of the restaurant. The couch area seemed strange and the bar huge and over powering. I certainly liked the food but I am not sure I'd go back soon."

  • "Sometimes I like Luxe, sometimes I don't. The food is pretty good, although unimaginative. The real problem I have is with the service. Only once did I have great service. Usually we stand there and no hostess greets us, while the bartenders are too busy watching the game on the big screen. The bartenders seem snotty and too good to actually give service at a table. The owner's wife warmly greeted "regulars" while ignoring our table this past time. One time the waitress actually seemed to forget that I was seated. After 20 minutes or so I moved to the bar where at least I could be seen. There really is no point in making a reservation."

  • "A nice find for a local place to spend New Years Eve. Live music, great food, and superb service. I will be here next New Year’s Eve."

  • "First night in nearby Capistrano beach, and ventured here with 2 adult children. Good Martini's, nice quiet corner spot where we could talk and still have live music in background at Bar. Good selection of small plates to share. Good, friendly service but not overbearing. Out of dessert I wanted that looked different and was listed first so I thought it was their signature dessert. Nice that there was a parking garage behind restaurant. Parking in southern Cal. is always a bit of a challenge. Would go again!"

  • "Flatbread was one of ghe best including several trips to Italy. Meetball sliders are gems. Limoncello sorbet fantastic."
    Dined on 9/13/2013
  • "Everything was great until we got our food. The presentation was great however the there wasn't much flavor. We releluctanty ordered dessert and weren't to surprised with the outcome. It's kind of a bummer bc everything else was great!"
    Dined on 9/8/2013
  • "Drinks are good with fresh ingredients (mojito/martinis) and generously poured. Soups are wonderful. We ordered off small plate menu and shared. Live music is a bonus....cool spot!"

  • "While the sound of its name may conjure images of tuxedos and high heels, Luxe is actually a casual wine bar and restaurant in Dana Point, which offers numerous small plates at good prices and does not try to be pretentious with the relatively limited entrees (quality trumping number of entrees). Particularly at happy hour, prices are excellent -- two of us ate all we wanted plus wine for $40 including tips -- and the selection is large enough to suit about everybody in any crowd. Food quality is very high, and more what somebody would expect from a celebrity-chef type of restaurant than a local eatery. It is good, and it is a bargain. Hard to beat that."

  • "Great food and great service - only distraction was Pandora Music Station that went from music to commercials - kind of weird for a bar/restaurant"

  • "Food and atmosphere were great but the service wasn't so great."
    Dined on 4/6/2013
  • "Decided late to go out on Valentine's Day and Luxe had a table available at 8, We went a little early and were seated right away. Ordered cocktails (the cucumber martini was great!) and split a wedge salad. So we were about a third of the way through our cocktails and not quite done with the salads when our entrees came out. We were so annoyed. That is my biggest pet peeve about restaurants. So why does Luxe get a 5? Because the owner (Jimmy) saw our distress and came over to find out what was wrong. Once he understood, he insisted on having the entrees taken away and redoing them when we were ready. How amazing is that? We ordered a bottle of wine and relaxed."

  • "We had a very nice experience but were disappointed that the restaurant reported us as a "no show" to Open Table. Fortunately we were able to correct this."

  • "Just too nois. We wanted to visit and could not over the noise of the band."

  • "Lived in SF for 10 years and NYC for 3....this restaurant reminded my husband and I of our city nights with the fresh air of the ocean right outside the door. Doesn't get any better...we'll definitely be back!"
    Dined on 9/1/2012
  • "Enjoyed our salad and our veggies; didn't care for the main dishes. The ravioli came fried, which was not mentioned in the menu; we would not have ordered it if we'd known. The Cornish game hen was disappointing too. We might go again sometime, as it's geographically desirable, but would probably stick to salads & side dishes."
    Dined on 8/16/2012
  • "Food is very very good The small plates are a great deal and some are not even small Wait staff are a little too busy talk to each other or to friends @ the bar & need to look around more I highly recommend this place"

  • "We like to converse when we go out to dinner. This restaurant is quiet - and the food is divine. The service is excellent, and we would highly recommend it."

  • "Overall our Luxe experience was great. Inviting atmosphere, attentive staff, and good food make Luxe a place we'll visit again. In fact, the bar was so pleasant we ended up having our meal there instead of moving to a table. Jazz trio in the background, nice aesthetics, and good vibe overall make Luxe a great local option for us. Thank you Luxe for a wonderful evening!"

  • "Food was absolutely delicious - the small plate menu is varied and beautifully presented. Srevice is outstanding."

  • "This is a great spot to meet with friends for dinner. Their food and drink prices are high! Try and share a meal and go from there. Some plates are large and some are small. Happy Hour pricing is a lot better! Go then. Food tastes very good!"

  • "Valentines evening was chaotic. They were late with our reservation, the food took way too long to come out, the tomato soup had way way too much chili pepper in it, the salmon/shrimp was tasetless, and the waiter was reluctantly obliging."
    Dined on 2/14/2012
  • "Small plate venue. Two of six were bad, two were fair, two were yummy. Great atmosphere. Live Sax on Valentine's Day. Unexpectedly nice ambience."

    Dined on 1/20/2012
  • "The fresh martinis were creative and delicious. Order tapas and share, lots of different options, stuffed mushrooms were a favorite. Service was superb, server was bright and charming, recommend great options and made the experience delightful overall. Cool lighting and decor, definitely a neat place to try!"

  • "We were given a private room for the eight of us. It was great. Food and wine and great friends. Were able to carry on conversations without yelling, unlike some restaurants. Tuesday is "no corkage fee" night just as long as the wine you bring isn't on their list. YIPPE"
