    Jack’s is truly the place locals like to eat and bring their out of town guests! There is no ocean view so all the other elements of dining must be in place. And, boy, are they! Our Chicago friend was totally impressed. As a VP for a large food service company everyone knows well, a compliment from him would mean something! Jack’s is an institution of fine dining in Dana Point. Go ahead. Prove me right!

    Jack’s was remodeled several years ago to a bright contemporary ambience that is comforting. Our pasta and veal orders were excellent and the wine list is adequate and reasonably priced. A very relaxing dining experience.

    Jacks is one of our very favorite places to go! Food, service, ambiance is all perfect. My favorite dish is one of their specialties - eggplant Parmesan - it is the best I’ve ever had anywhere. The menu is varied, and covers meats, seafood and various Italian dishes. There is also a cozy bar while you wait. Our favorite waiter is Chris - he’s so knowledgeable and friendly, and attends to our every need. Jack is also usually there, making sure everyone is happy. We love Jack’s!

    Warm, gracious, attentive service and excellent food keep us returning to Jacks. Pizza as an appetizer is excellent. The Chicken Picatta and the Bolognese are two of our favorites.
