The Sunday Brunch at Lantern's Edge was amazing - from start to finish. The restaurant host, Christine, warmly welcomed us when we arrived. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was coastal and the floor to ceiling windows filled the room with natural light. Our server, Miguel, provided top notch service throughout our meal. I opted in for the endless brunch option that had unlimited mimosas, regular breakfast items, and premium items (jumbo shrimp, crab legs, prime rib, and more) all for $65. We sat outside in the patio that had amazing ocean views accompanied by live entertainment. I noted on my reservation that we were celebrating a birthday and Boran, sous chef from the kitchen came out and personally greeted us and wished my friend a happy birthday. Lantern's Edge is truly a hidden gem in Dana Point. I will 100% be coming back and let everyone know this is the place to be for great food, amazing service, and impeccable vibes!

Really bad experience. Rude waitress. She started out rude then disappeared. We waited for our food for about an hour and one of the dishes was cold and undercooked.

Shared a Grilled Maitake mushroom appetizer which was interesting and tasteful. Cesar salad was classic and good, Beet salad was creative and delicious. Branzino was beautifully presented, tasty, but was only mildly warm. Seafood Orecchiette with black ink pasta stayed hot in the dish the entire time, was amazing! Side dish of Spiced Carrots lacked sufficient charcoal cream and ginger flavor and were noticeably under cooked.
