“Late Post March 2024Situated on San Clemente Pier, Fisherman’s Restaurant provides not only a beautiful view but also serves classic seafood dishes. Despite being a group of 12 without outdoor seating, we still enjoyed fantastic views from inside. Unfortunately, I did not have a seat facing the ocean, and the only drawback was the presence of quite a few flies in the restaurant... which probably wouldn't have been an issue if we had sat outside. Our server, Kylie, was excellent in taking our orders and promptly serving our meals.Fish and Chips – Crispy and well-seasoned!Fried Calamari – Not my fav, possibly pre-ordered frozenClam chowder and fresh sourdough bread – Delish, didn’t come out hot but immediately fixed it. The bread was bangin’ fresh, hot, nice crust, soft inside – highly recommend.Shrimp cocktail – portion smaller than expected but the typical - nothing fancyyyy“
“This place was such a vibe! I love the lighting the decor the drinks are incredible. I had a goodnight Irene and it was soooo good. Food was tasty not a lot of options on the food menu but what they have is great! The service was good our server was nice and attentive. Will definitely be going again!“
“This is not your usual Pizza Kitchen-this is magic!Chef David and his amazing team source the best local ingredients mixed with some of the best imported grain to ensure the highest quality flavor. More than that-the team pours their love into every dish!Be sure to ask about what they are working on as they may give a sneak peak.Hands down best in South Orange County!“
“I wish I could give this 8 stars. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. I had my first wagyu. Absolutely excellent. The macaroni and cheese, the au gratin potatoes, absolutely excellent. Oh yeah I forgot the Caesar salad was the best one I've ever “
“I love Inka Mama's and the phenomenal food, plus the quaint location really makes this a great place to go. The food is extremely flavorful and delicious, and the ambiance is great. Intimate, nicely styled with a missionary design. And the staff are extremely polite and helpful. A tip- ask for their soup options. They are off the menu and really really good. (I love aguadito de pollo and the bean soup.)“
“Nice little speakeasy. The entrance is unique and we loved the decor and vibe. The service was standard and the drinks & sushi were good but nothing to blow you away. Recommend they change to paper menus! The phone menu was hard to read and it took away from the ambiance they're trying to create.“
“Called the restaurant directly to make a reservation for 6. My call was answered by a very friendly staff member. When we visited the night of our reservation, everything was great. The hostess was very nice and seated us right away. We were greeted by our server, Nate. He took great care of our table the entire evening. The drink, food, and band were all fabulous. Jambalaya is my favorite. All in all, it's was a fantastic night out. Can't wait for our next visit to Iva Lee's.The only negative was that we didn't get the heart-shaped corn bread that we love so much.“
“My recent visit to Asada in San Clemente was nothing short of exceptional, marking yet another instance of this establishment's commitment to excellence across the board. The food, as always, was incredible, offering a perfect blend of flavors that left everyone at our table thoroughly satisfied. Our experience was further elevated by our server, Alexis, whose attentiveness and friendly demeanor made our evening even more enjoyable. She masterfully balanced engaging conversation with respecting our privacy, ensuring our needs were met without ever feeling intrusive. We took advantage of the happy hour taco special, which proved to be an excellent choice for sharing. Following that, I indulged in the pozole soup, which was both hearty and delicious, while my child was delighted with their bean and cheese burrito. A special mention must go to the Diablo salsa - a must-try for those who appreciate a spicy kick to their meal. Asada continues to impress with its impeccable service, inviting ambience, and, most importantly, its culinary offerings. Whether you're a regular or planning your first visit, this restaurant in San Clemente is guaranteed to provide an unforgettable dining experience.“
“This place is AMAZING! Everything on the menu was gluten free, farm fresh, and imaginative. Definitely try a grasshopper when you're there! (and I don't mean the drink.) The staff was super friendly and unpretentious: I felt like I was back in the Midwest. Will definitely be returning for special occasions (because I can't resist dropping all that coin).“
“Sorry. Wrong review. Never went to your restaurant. I was referring to the red fox restaurant on El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego. That restaurant is horrible and the owner Jim is rude. Red fox on El Cajon Blvd. in San Diego is a steakhouse. It should not be confused with your restaurant.“
“I went to karaoke on Tuesday night. First time visiting. Had a blast. Bartender Holly was amazing. Very friendly and accommodating. Makes us feel so welcomed. Ivan the KJ was awesome. The security guy was also very friendly and accommodating. The place is very clean and has a great ambiance. We get to meet a few regulars and all were super friendly and nice. We will definitely return.“
“First time coming here. Was excellent. Came for dinner with friends and sat on the patio under the heater looking over the beach - stunning. And they had live music (was a Saturday). Service was excellent (thanks Ashley!) we had oysters and clam chowder tater tots to start, followed by crispy shrimp tacos, and then the seasonal bread pudding. All of it was incredible. If you’re doing dry Jan, recommend the hot toddy minus the bourbon, especially if sitting outside - divine. Will be back.“
“We celebrated my daughters 20th birthday. The service was amazing. Karcher our waiter was amazing, he was so attentive, explained the menu to us and had some amazing suggestions as well. Everything we ordered from appetizers to the desserts were amazing. Karcher was so thoughtful that upon us mentioning it was my daughters birthday he went above and beyond and brought her dessert with a birthday candle. Thank you so much.. She enjoyed it very much and we all did as well. From the Avina Family thank you South of Nick's - San Clemente for the amazing time. We will definitely return. 4/14/2024 Menu: Taquitos Caseros were tasty, Filet & Grilled Romaine was amazing, chicken flautas were yummy. Chipotle Dusted Sea Bass was my husbands favorite. El Vaquero was also a favorite. the drinks were yummy from the Strawberry lemonade, cokes, to the corona and the red wine to my favorite the cucumber margarita. :) The setting and the atmosphere was amazing.“
