   Excellent wine. outstanding server - Janae. Food was very good. The only complaint would be the filets we had were suppose to be med. rare but they were more of medium to medium well. Great flavor just over cooked. Also the hostess was a bit unfriendly. Asked a question and she said she wasn't the waitress. Also told us there was a 90 minute limit on dinner time. Just didn't see professional. Would dine there again and try the wine tastings.

   We all enjoyed it very much. Our server was very knowledgeable and was able to recommend many dishes because he had tried many of the dishes. He gave us excellent service and the food was delicious. Ambience inside the restaurant was beautiful.

   Both of did wine flights. Great wines. We also both had the different soups of the day. Also good. We had a table up front (inside) and the front door was kept open. A nearby heat lamp would have been helpful. We will be back!

   Always a great experience at Rancho Capistrano Winery. Janay took care of us once again and made the evening wonderful! We brought a couple that had not been before to RCW and live here in San Clemente and they were so impressed that they joined the wine club. All of the servers are great but Janay always makes us feel at home. We had the halibut and scallops and they were prepared to perfection. If you go to this location, do not miss out on the jalapeno soup! It will put you right where you want to be! Thanks RCW crew, you helped us entertain at a next level

   Absolutely love coming here. My husband was deployed for our anniversary so we came as a late anniversary/celebration of his homecoming. Thank you so much to the wonderful staff.

    I normally go to the sister restaurant in San Juan Capistrano. The food and service is comparable between the two restaurants! The difference is the ambience … the San Clemente is indoor dining primarily with outdoor dining on Del Mar Street whereas the one in San Juan Capistrano is outdoor dining on a lovely patio with heat lamps and a fireplace (if needed)! I like this one but I prefer to meet up with friends at the one in San Juan Capistrano!
