It was a cool day but we sat on the patio where there are blankets if needed. We enjoyed a small lunch menu of soup sandwiches salad and fries. Street noise was not apparent. Ambience very cozy. Easy prepaid parking across the street and behind the restaurant.

A Culinary Gem with Exceptional Service Our recent dining experience at this restaurant was truly outstanding, representing a wonderful addition to the increasingly refined local dining scene. We enjoyed the Chilean sea bass, New York steak, shrimp tandoori, and fried chicken – each dish expertly prepared and delicious. What surprised and delighted us most, however, were the accompanying vegetables, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned to enhance their natural freshness and flavor rather than overshadow it. The service was equally impressive. Our server demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the menu and preparation methods, but what made her truly special was her intuitive ability to provide exactly the information we needed without us having to ask. Her thorough explanations showed she understood precisely what would enhance our dining experience. The beautiful view of Mission San Juan Capistrano provided a stunning backdrop, creating an atmosphere that perfectly complemented the outstanding cuisine. This restaurant exemplifies the kind of establishment that elevates the entire culinary landscape – a true gem offering exceptional food, impeccable service, and memorable ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a refined and thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.
