One of the best places to watch a sunset in Dana Point. Though beautiful any time of day, come with an picnic on the grassy hill at dusk to watch the waves and evening beauty.

Love this little historic theater. It's small but usually shows all the same stuff as the bigger theaters and is cooler and more quaint. Also, there's one room upstairs where you can order wine and food etc. Call ahead for more details.

This is one of our favorites in the area. It's a wine bar with some great beer and hard kombucha options. The menu includes the best charcuterie boards in the area, great soups, fries, innovative main dishes and we hear their brunch is incredible. The atmosphere is cozy farm-house.

Food scene
A hidden gem in Dana Point, Café Maison is found in a strip mall but don't let that deter you. The food is masterfully prepared and presented, hardy, beautiful and delicious. Their Ossa Bucco on the dinner menu is to die for.

Best burgers in town. Casual atmosphere, friendly and promp service and a really fresh and delicious seared ahi salad on the menu. The place is a local fave for a reason!

Beautiful atmosphere with huge open windows for a lovely dose of fresh air. I like to do their small bites for a light lunch (they also have beautifully crafted espresso drinks). Dinners are by reservation only, and several courses, a nice place to go big for a special event.

Hands down my favorite brunch spot in all of OC, maybe in all the US! I believe they're only serving a three course brunch these days, but it's well worth the investment! Check out their menu online.

The best coffee in town. They do their own roasting and make all their own flavoring as well as their almond milk, in house. The pastries are ordered from a local baker and the GF donuts are so so good.

Sol Agave is a great place for a dinner with a partner or with friends. We prefer the inside seats after the sun's gone down so you can enjoy the hanging lanterns and cozy seating near the bar. Everything on the menu is beautiful, fresh and creative. We always split the shrimp taquitos along with the margarita flight sampler (the best we've had anywhere) but order anything else and you won't be disappointed.

This little family owned Italian Restaurant opened in 2022 and is wonderfully fresh, beautiful and bustling. Try their bakery in the morning and you won't be sad.
