Dana Point / Monarch Beach​のベストファーム・トゥ・テーブルレストラン

Always good and consistent.

A wonderful birthday celebration! Food was excellent and the wait staff couldn’t have been more attentive.

Overall a lovely experience and the special price Sunday night dinner was a hit. You’re still able to order from the regular menu but it was nice to have a reasonably priced coursed meal for $25 total. The server was attentive and friendly. It’s a great local gem.

The food was outstandingly fresh, high quality, and creatively prepared and served. The price fixe menu of many courses seemed to climb a bell curve, with the least interesting being the shrimp chip and dip starter ‘snack’ , climbing to a magnificent crescendo with the the scallop and mussel small plate, and an equally exquisite plate of the freshest sliced kampachi. Each plate was beautiful, graced with curated vegetables, flowers, and delicate sauces that completed, never overpowered. Our only complaint: we found the dessert disappointing in flavor, appearance and texture: a choux pastry ball with a heavy dull filling, sitting on top of a scatter of what resembled stale cocoa puff cereal pieces. I would have traded it for the rich creamy mascapone ice cream served earlier, sans the caviar topping. The service was outstanding: gracious, helpful, attentive, knowledgeable and well orchestrated. Overall we had a fabulous dining experience, exceeding our highest expectations. In most every way, including price, dining here is a special occasion; we could not understand how or why most diners we observed were wearing gym clothes, T-shirts and jeans, sneakers, fuzzy slippers. What’s next: dining in our underwear? How about a dress code?!

My Sister's Birthday celebration luncheon was FABULOUS ! Starting with our waitress Katia who was attentive, made great recommendations and checked on us to be sure everything was perfect! We ordered the Buttermilk Biscuits which were delicious and a MUST to start our meal. The soup (Pumpkin Bisque) & Sammi was fresh & yummy and the chef's special was prepared to perfection. We were very satisfied (stuffed) but couldn't resist the New York Cheesecake which was, of course the perfect ending to our VERY memorable meal! Thank you for making my sister's birthday one to remember!!
