Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in San Clemente

Always a great experience at Rancho Capistrano Winery. Janay took care of us once again and made the evening wonderful! We brought a couple that had not been before to RCW and live here in San Clemente and they were so impressed that they joined the wine club. All of the servers are great but Janay always makes us feel at home. We had the halibut and scallops and they were prepared to perfection. If you go to this location, do not miss out on the jalapeno soup! It will put you right where you want to be! Thanks RCW crew, you helped us entertain at a next level

Booking was easy. The Chicken alpastor, shrimp, mushrooms and crab tacos were all amazing! Cadillac Margaritas by far one of the best! Service was great!

We went there for a post Christmas dinner. We love the food there and the staff is always so nice. We go usually every other month and just enjoy being there. I had the hanger steak which was prepared perfectly and had the red wine sauce. My guest had the lamb shank and loved it. The food is always excellent.

Beautiful space, want and inviting. Brussel sprouts were excellent, fries that came with sandwiches had a unique and delicious flavor no condiments needed! Staff was friendly and attentive - would love to bring friends back here soon! Hope they have a happy hour offering soon as well.

We didn’t even know the place existed until we ordered several dinners thru Door Dash. We decided we had to go to the restaurant to see where it was and what was it like. We were pleasantly surprised. It’s located in the San Clemente Inn that in the 70s was where the Nixon support and news groups would stay. The decor of the restaurant hasn’t changed, and it’s neat to see the “retro” 70s surroundings. The service was excellent. I had the salmon and my wife the filet mignon. Both were excellent. The menu is limited but adequate, and they are working on expanding the wine selection. We were surprised that the restaurant was almost empty on Sunday night. That reflects the lack of publicity since we have lived in San Clemente for 35 years, and even if it has only been open for two years, we and our friends didn’t know it existed. Maybe consider it “ a diamond in the rough”. Great place and easy parking. Worth a try.
