We were out for an evening walk and felt like a glass of wine and something light to munch on and chill. We came to Ranco Capistrano Winery. I’m really glad we stopped here. Super laid back. Relaxing out on the patio area with nice party lighting and some flame heaters. I ordered a glass of their “Remington.” A mild sweet red with a nice fruity finish. I had to, we named our dog the same name. We ordered a spinach artichoke dip that came with fresh made tortilla chips. Nice baked finish on the dip to create a nice crust on top. The service was friendly and attentive. The entire experience was very relaxed and pleasing. Thank you Rancho Capistrano Winery for a memorable evening. Sorry I didn’t take pics of the food. We were just enjoying the experience. But the included pic is a view from the outdoor seating. Maybe we’ll get back there and correct that.

Delicious brunch at Rancho Capistrano Winery! We sat on the dog friendly patio and were able to enjoy the beautiful San Clemente downtown. We ordered the fig bruschetta, Gorgonzola apple flatbread, and crab Benedict and loved them all. The mimosas are also very tasty and refreshing. Excellent service, quick and friendly. Recommend!

Haven't been here for years. They've definitely upped their game. To start, great service. Little things matter, like our server happily moving us inside after we got a little chilly at our outside table. She also offered to make us a mocktail though there wasn't one on the menu (it was YUMMY BTW. See the pic attached.) We ordered the sesame crusted Ahi and the shrimp topped halibut. Both were not only better than expected but very large portions. Quite a pleasant surprise vs. the trend of many other restaurants. Nice plating too. All in all, it was a wonderful date night with good food, great service and fair prices.

I had brunch here and absolutely loved it. The menu was perfect for us since it offered a great mix of both breakfast and lunch options—we were all able to find something we loved. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Nathan took great care of us and made the whole experience even better!

Overall, the place has very nice interior and service. But we won't be coming back. Although food was good, but the portions are small. This place is waaaay overpriced for the quality and amount of food you'll get. Trust me. We visit different restaurants all the time. It's not worth your money.
Desert menu is a disaster too. It tasted like an old cake which sat in the refrigerator for days.
