Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Dana Point / Monarch Beach

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. The valet service alarm made the experience stress free as Laguna is not easy to find parking.

Such a good find! Excellent, quality food and cocktails. And bonus, they are committed to using tallow instead of seed oils! Huge win!

First time visiting and was impressed with the food. This is the old Brick space and they have the same pizza oven. Meatballs were primo. Arugula salad was huge and tasty but could use some more hazelnuts. Pizza 10-10 Spaghetti carbonara was very good but they used chorizo? and not bacon lardons and that was a let down, but technically well done dish.

Great local restaurant, with great selection of food items! Their drinks are outstanding! Very energetic inside around the bar. Outside patio seating is spread out better. There is live music, which is very nice, but don't get a table near the performer - - the speaker is too loud to hold a conversation.

Always a wonderful experience. No way can you beat the view, the food is solid and everyone is always fabulous. This hotel is such a gem and Aveo is such a great spot.
