Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

Thank you for a delightful evening where I may comfortably dine with my loved ones.

There was 8 of us who came here for a dinner with friends. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the service was amazing. The pasta was so good and fresh, the ribeye delicious, and the tiramisu was spectacular. Highly recommend this place !!

We had a large dinner party of 11 people meeting and the Chart House was wonderful about providing a round view table so that we could all talk to each other without needing to shout down the length of a long table. Some of our party ordered 3-crse meals, which is a great deal at the Chart House (choice of appetizer, choice of entree, and a mini chocolate lava cake for dessert). Others ordered different appetizers and an entree. While some ordered an entree only. Basically, a server's nightmare trying to time what to serve when to whom, and our server did an amazing job. The only downside to the entire lovely dinner was the music is cranked up too high and drowns out conversation.

The halibut- OMG! Also felt very welcome with Kai🦮. Weird music assortment and it’s loud, but food and service are first rate.

Great evening! The food and the staff were awesome. We went to see the Christmas lights and then went to dinner. A wonderful time!
