Best Restaurants for People Watching in Ladera Ranch

Everything was good but some large parties arrived shortly after us and it became very noisy and hard to converse.

Anthony our service was excellent. Shrimp cocktail had 6 nice size shrimp $25. My rib eye blackened was excellent $56. Wife had lobster tail and cream spinach very good. Crab cake portion seemed on small side Lemon cake nice. Coffee was warm to medium hot. Could’ve been a lot hotter Overall excellent on Christmas Day for 5:15 dinner

Harpoon Henry's has been a wonderful restaurant on the harbor for many years. I have enjoyed many great meals and happy hours here over the years. Ambiance is warm and cozy with great harbor views, the Christmas Day turkey dinner was prepared to perfection and the service was outstanding as usual. I understand that this wonderful restaurant will close in the spring. It is so unfortunate that Dana Point Harbor Partners is driving away all that is good around the harbor for the love of more money. Thanks to all at Harpoon Henry's for today and for all the happy times in the past.

The food was incredible, the service was great, and it was a fantastic way to spend Christmas Eve. We had everything from the lobster Mac and cheese to the burger and steak, and even the charcuterie board. And guess what? Our two kids loved it too! Thank you, Mozambique, for being open on Christmas Eve!

This is one of my favorite places to go. Absolutely my favorite restaurant at Irvine spectrum. The foods here never disappoint. The ambience is unique and tasteful.
