Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

Waitress was a little confused and initially brought the wrong tea. She was apologetic and may have been new. My only complaint is there was a small dog at the table near us that was barking off and on. Felt they should have been asked to take the dog out of it couldn’t behave or stop barking. Luckily it was towards the end of our time there but feel bad for others who just got there. Other than that had a great time and enjoyed the food.

It is no surprise that Jack's is still going strong after all these years...attentive service, good food and ambience, and Jack is quite the statesman and orchestrator of it all.

We had a great meal. We shared a great Caesar salad and the infamous double cut pork chop with fig glaze. Awesome!

You can’t beat Luciano’s for atmosphere, and when you can find a good Italian restaurant with veal parmigiana on the menu, you go for it! It’s what we might have called back in New Jersey “a classy joint!”

My husband and I tried their Sunday brunch for the first time and it was so yummy!! Great bloody mary’s too! Wonderful food and great service by our server Leah and the rest of the staff. It’s a relaxing, beautiful view from their upstairs outdoor patio if you choose to sit out there! We would highly recommend trying out Rosewood Social and their unique and delicious menu!
