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.
Amazing views, great food and service. It’s one of the few gems of a restaurant left in California. It has such a comfortable, relaxing feel which makes one welcomed. We had a party at seven reservation and they gave us a fabulous table with a view of the harbor. Our server was amazing and the food was delicious. The dishes range from $20-$40. Our family favorite is the calamari steak strips $18 (some ppl get this as their entree. The salads are fresh and big enough to share. Highly recommend harpoon Henry’s would give it more stars if I could. This restaurant has been there since I can remember but the Dana Point harbor is changing all the shops around it are closing. I really hope they are not selling out and going corporate like other harbors. They build a huge ugly parking structure, which is really out of place.
This is a lovely chilled out restaurant with a great menu, that lives up to expectations and beyond. Beautiful location on the marina, and all lot of space in the indoor restaurant too. Superb service. Had a really lovely long lunch. Saddened to hear they may not be there for very long, and glad we caught it in time. All the best good people.
This restaurant was overall an amazing experience. The view of the harbor was beautiful and all of the staff was so friendly. I have multiple food allergies and the wait staff and head chef were working together to alter a meal while keeping in mind the flavor profile as well. I had a few wait staff on the case and they all seemed to genuinely care. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!
I was looking forward to trying a new restaurant that I hadn’t been to, especially because I like Dana Point. We were sat timely and although the restaurant was somewhat full, I would’ve expected it to be packed since it was Mother’s Day. Perhaps we missed the rush(?). Anyway, our waiter was a nice young man, and we ordered drinks. Unfortunately the champagne was warm, although the OJ was cold… except that I didn’t order a mimosa. I let it go. When we ordered juice it was brought out in small carafe glassware as if for a side of juice for champagne or something. No glass. We requested a glass of juice to drink as a non-alcoholic option. We ordered an appetizer and our entrees, and I asked if he could hold off on submitting our entree order so that we had time to eat the appetizer first and keep things hot. Appetizer came out, then about 60 seconds later, our entrees. The young guy who dropped off the food asked if we need anything else, but was literally walking away as he said it. We actually thought it was funny because it was so odd. Guess it’s good that we didn’t need anything else. We wanted to have time to eat the appetizer and then, when ready, get our entrees (hot). Didn’t happen. It was obvious that the entrees were sitting because the sauces with the fish dishes were not even warm. $40 an entree, or frankly any amount, should warrant hot food being served hot. I didn’t say anything because it was clear to me that management had not properly trained the young man. He was kind and well-meaning though. Bottomless champagne was the lowest level quality, and I had to politely request a refill, although the young man did accommodate and I sense he was doing what he could at that point. I have patience and compassion, especially when it’s a young person trying to figure things out, but it stressed me out. Mother’s Day should be a day of relief and relaxation and not having to guide the experience. I don’t want to feel guilt for lapses in service that the management is ultimately responsible for. I hoped for stellar service and being treated like a queen for one day of the year. 😛🤷🏼♀️
Beautiful restaurant on the harbor. Got there at sunset and was seated right away. The food was good to me and very good to my husband. He said it might have been the oil, it was a little strong but I'm sure it was just my taste buds from traveling, so that's why the minus 1, only in case it was the oil. The crabcakes also had tasted if they cooked it, where they cooked a hamburger and forgot to scrap the grill. That actually was a pleasant surprise. The server Jake and his helper were very nice and prompt with service.
