About Fisherman’s Restaurant & Bar
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
Went to the restaurant side of this place and the menu is slightly different from the bar side. Both serve more or less the same menu, but the restaurant side has more choices and option like pasta that the other side doesn’t. Prices are similar and the service is attentive on both sides. The view is what brings you to this location. Get a table outside and watch the sunset as you are having dinner. The best dishes are probable the fresh fish and the bread which I had two of cause it was just so good warm and fresh from the oven. For those who are really hungry the fish and chips looked great (thank you to the table next to me for each ordering a plate), but don’t get a chance to try them.
What a lovely brunch experience! Our server was Stef and she was absolutely incredible. The food was fabulous, the drinks amazing! Brunch came with muffins that were so moist. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. We had a bit of a wait but it was just enough time to walk down the pier, which was a cherry on top!
I recently had the chance to go to The Fisherman's Restaurant & Bar with my husband, and I absolutely loved it. Located directly on the historic San Clemente Pier , The Fisherman's in San Clemente offers an ultimate Southern California dining experience. From the start, the oceanfront atmosphere made the whole experience so special - nothing beats enjoying a good meal while listening to the waves in the background. The restaurant specializes in Pacific Northwest seafood, offering a diverse menu of seafood. The food is consistently good, with an emphasis on fresh, well-prepared seafood. We have tried their Mahi Mahi fish tacos and Fishermen’s hamburger, they were freshly made and delicious 😋. Also, l enjoyed a chilled glass of white wine with my meal, which rounded out the experience perfectly. Service was attentive , professional, and efficient, even during busy periods. It's worth noting that due to its prime location and popularity, The Fisherman's restaurant can be quite busy, and parking nearby may be limited. Overall : The Fisherman's restaurant & bar is a San Clemente icon, perfect for anyone looking for a memorable meal with spectacular ocean views in a relaxed, casual setting. Whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it offers a truly Californian dining experience. We highly recommend it!!!
I had brunch here with my boyfriend and his cousin this past weekend, and it was such a great experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful views of the water that made it feel like a charming East Coast spot right here in California. I ordered the French toast and a Bloody Mary — both were absolutely delicious. The French toast was perfectly fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the Bloody Mary had a nice kick without being overpowering. They even surprised us with complimentary muffins to start, which was such a thoughtful touch — warm, fresh, and a perfect way to begin our meal. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. To top it all off, we didn’t have to wait at all for a table, which made the morning even better. Between the food, the friendly service, and the stunning waterfront views, this spot is definitely one I’d recommend and can’t wait to visit again!
I have never been to this restaurant and was so thrilled to be able to go for a date night with my husband. I have a huge thing for seafood and am always trying to make fresh seafood at home, but nothing beats going out for a special dinner on the town. This restaurant is literally on the wharf and has two sites to eat at. One is the oyster bar and the other is the main restaurant. We chose the restaurant in order for us to be able to sample all kids of food. We picked Bucket of Clams, a Half Dungeons Crab, Oyster Rockefeller, a Bowl of Clams Chowder and for dessert Crème Brûlée . We also splurged on a few drinks. Let me tell you this place was so fabulous. The broth the Clams were steamed in you could just eat that alone and be extremely happy. The Clams themselves were exquisite and so delicious and not over chewy, with no sand in site. The Oysters were so creamy and delightful, the Crab was steamed to perfection and didn’t even honestly need any butter. The Bowl of Clams Chowder was so creamy and rich with big chunks of clams and potatoes and you could just taste how fresh it was. The Crème Brûlée was to die for and was a perfect ending to our meal. We left there stuffed to the gills and will definitely bring coming here again to try other fabulous options. Oh and by the way the service was extremely amazing and prompt. They even brought us a complementary bucket of clams because we he first bucket did have a few unopened clams, so to make up for it they sent us a new one, which obviously we didn’t refuse. Thanks so much again ladies and gentlemen it was an amazing time we will soon not forget!
