- FFrankvipOrange County •20 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIt was our first visit to the resturaunt . Had a reservation for lunch to celebrate a friends birthday. Greeted at the desk with a friendly greeting and big smile. Had a great table inside. White and bright interior with beach ambiance. Greg was our server and was as pleasant and friendly as possible food was excellent. Unfortunately a table of 6 woman were seated next to us and were very loud and obnoxious making our experience disappointing but that seems to be the norm in Orange County with those feeling entitled and not caring for anyone but themselves . Highly suggest the resturaunt . Frank CorreiaMore infoCoastal KitchenPrice: Moderate• American• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8
- JJulesLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoChart house went above and beyond for our wedding anniversary! I asked for a booth with a view and that’s what we got! When they handed us the menu it said at the top “happy special 3rd year anniversary from the chart house!” They rolled them up for me and tied a ribbon so I could take it home! This is our second year celebrating there and we can’t wait to go back next year. The food is delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. Highly highly recommend! Eric was our waiter and he went above and beyond for us. Thanks chart house!More infoChart House Restaurant - Dana PointPrice: Moderate• Seafood• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.3
- MMaryLas Vegas •10 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoThis was absolutely the best pizza I have had since my trip to Italy. The ingredients are superb and I didn’t even feel bad after eating pizza which means their ingredients are very clean and tasteful. The crust was absolutely delicious and crispy. Almost like you are eating a perfect croissant but savory taste We celebrated my son’s 21st birthday and our waiter was amazing she brought him a treat was very sweet. Service and ambience is amazing too.More infoTruly PizzaPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8

Discover Dana Point
Few places in the United States have views like Southern California, and Dana Point is one of the most impressive among them. The beautiful weather and the open ocean waves draw some of the most exciting people and the most innovative chefs to the area. Pacific Coast seafood is beyond compare in this area, and many places serve it simply and with a straightforward approach. Just add salt, oil and lemon, and the ocean will flavor the rest. The morning catch is that day's lunch. Another great product of the California coast is the fantastic produce that is fresh and the choice of the season. While the wonderful ocean views draw your eyes, let the taste of the Pacific draw your stomach.
