- AAliceOrange County •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe are all pleasantly surprised that the Beachcomber wasn’t just beach food.. The cocktails were yummly and the food was delicious. We had the ahi nachos, lobster rolls & artichoke as appetizers. Main dishes included cioppino, short rib, ahi over zucchini spaghetti and shrimp linguine. The best was their dessert.. The brownie that had a huge toasted marshmallow on top.. So good and the beignets we also tasty. Potions for all foods were healthy. We will return during the day to enjoy the scenery.. Hearing the waves were just as great and relaxing.More infoBeachcomber Cafe - Crystal CovePrice: Moderate• Californian• Newport Beach•4.8

- NNolavipSan Diego •8 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoWe had a reservation for brunch, and it was delicious! The sparkling wine and Riesling were especially good, as were the fig bruschetta and fried cauliflower. The pesto burrata chicken sandwich was a bit wet (the pesto and burrata really just oozed through the sourdough onto my hands), but the lemon truffle fries were really good. Also liked the crab cake and filet Benedict’s, and the sausage in the ranch breakfast was really good. Our mains were quite slow in coming out, but it gave us a chance to digest after the appetizers, so I wasn’t really that upset!More infoRancho Capistrano Winery - San ClementePrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.8
- RRonaldOrange County •2 reviews5.0Dined on 28 Oct 2024We didn’t even know the place existed until we ordered several dinners thru Door Dash. We decided we had to go to the restaurant to see where it was and what was it like. We were pleasantly surprised. It’s located in the San Clemente Inn that in the 70s was where the Nixon support and news groups would stay. The decor of the restaurant hasn’t changed, and it’s neat to see the “retro” 70s surroundings. The service was excellent. I had the salmon and my wife the filet mignon. Both were excellent. The menu is limited but adequate, and they are working on expanding the wine selection. We were surprised that the restaurant was almost empty on Sunday night. That reflects the lack of publicity since we have lived in San Clemente for 35 years, and even if it has only been open for two years, we and our friends didn’t know it existed. Maybe consider it “ a diamond in the rough”. Great place and easy parking. Worth a try.More infoRivieraPrice: Moderate• American• San Clemente•4.5
