Neighbors recommended this restaurant highly, but I cannot understand why. I ordered the Mahi Mahi and it was boring. It came with veges that were under cooked and not seasoned and rice. My friend ordered the scallops and his was the same. Boring, with undercooked veges and rice. The best part of the meal? The bread and butter! Very sad... more

after having some dissappointing meals, we stopped at this restaurant on the wharf on a reccomendation from the pedicurist at the st. regis. The food was terrific, they grill everything on a charcoal grill and you can watch them cook through a window in the dining room. We were so happy to have a great meal in a relaxed atmnoshpere... more

I have lived in Dana Point for 20 years. This is my favorite fish restaurant in the area. The service is always excellent, and food well prepared and tasty. You can eat indoors or at outdoor tables rimming the restaurant. It is a white table cloth place, so I don't bring my kids here. Even though it is at the... more

I usually avoid fish tacos but I would highly recommend the ones here. They come with guacamole and an excellent chipotle sauce. The crabcakes were a little burned and bland but overall the meal was very good. more

Probably one of the best seafood reasturants we have eaten in. Very fresh fish/seafood. I had the seafood gumbo, which was seasoned perfectly and filled with shrimp, salmon, oysters, and 2 -3 other type of fish. My wife had the monkfish, which was mesquite grilled and served with drawn butter, garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. The monkfish was cooked perfectly... more

My wife & I have lived 10 miles away for 5 years, and this is the best basic seafood restaurant we've found in the area. It's family-owned, with friendly servers and a cooking staff that has been there a long time - so they know just how to perfectly cook the fish and seafood. The fish is always very fresh,... more

My husband and I were staying in the area and asked a local to recommend a seafood restuarant in Dana Point. Several were sugguested down by the harbor. We drove down, parked and followed some locals into the Harbor Grill. It was bright and bustling on a Tuesday night. There were people at the bar and most tables were filled.... more
