    Had a great time on a date at Rancho Capistrano Winery. We sat outdoors to enjoy the ambience and the beautiful sunset. Everything was lovely about our spot, except that it didn’t have a heater so we did get chilly as the night wore on and the temp dropped. The service, however, was spot on. Our waiter was polite, attentive, and friendly. People came around regularly to check on us and refill our waters. A good balance to where we still felt we could have an intimate meal and conversation. Food and drinks were delivered to us in a reasonable time despite it being pretty busy. All of it was delicious! My boyfriend even got a free drink when they poured him an extra on accident! All things considered, we will surely be back again!

    We had a party of three. Enjoyed the OC Restaurant Week selection of tuna tartare as well menu salads - steak and avocado crunch. All food was excellent. Tried three different red wines which were all good. Service was great too. Minor hiccup in getting seated but overall a good night. Would recommend.

    Restaurant Review I recently dined at [Restaurant Name] and my experience was less than satisfactory. We arrived at 8:20 PM, and despite the restaurant accepting reservations until 9 PM, we were immediately informed that the kitchen would close in 20 minutes. This set a rushed tone for the evening. Surprisingly, after being told to hurry, our waiter took over 10 minutes to even acknowledge our presence. The restaurant was still fairly crowded, but the hostess, who initially rushed us, came to our table and extinguished our candles while we were still eating, further emphasizing the urgency to leave. Unfortunately, this wasn't a one-time occurrence. Having visited [Restaurant Name] four times now, I have consistently noticed subpar service each visit. While the food has its redeeming qualities, the service experience leaves much to be desired. It’s disappointing when the dining experience is marred by feeling rushed and overlooked. I hope the management takes steps to improve the service, as the restaurant does have potential. Overall Rating: [Your Rating] Stars Recommendation: If you decide to dine here, be aware of the service and plan accordingly.

    The reason my review is wonky is not a slight to the establishment in any way. That night a sprinkler activated out on the patio. Guests meals ended early from a very sudden event. I'd finished my lovely meal/food and was enjoying a great conversation that ended abruptly with gushing water from an activated. sprinkler Training of staff can never be overrated at any place of employment, especially in instances where safety is at risk.

    My husband and I came at dinner time on a Saturday. The restaurant was basically empty but it took a long time for servers to come to us and waited even longer to get our drinks. My steak was dry and vegetables didn’t have seasoning. Our experience didn’t feel up to par from the reviews I’ve seen and definitely wouldn’t go back.

    Very pretty environment but very loud environment on a busy night. Like most restaurants these days. Not very many dividers to keep noise level lower. Server was very nice, Food was very good. Good overall experience. Patio is very nice in the warmer months.

    Rancho Capistrano Winery is a great restaurant with a very professional staff and great atmosphere. I’m a long time member and love their wine also.
