Restaurants near San Clemente Inn

We went to the San Clemente location, Simone was the best. From being attentive to the needs of everyone at the table to making sure we got the best wine (each of us with very different palette) to checking in with us and making suggestions and all with a smile on his face at all times. Very good food. Ambiance and setup reminded me of being in Italy at a local ristorante, nothing too fancy, just great food and great drinks and pleasant people. Will definitely be back.

we try and dine at the Vine every time we come to San Clemente. The food is excellent as is the service and ambience.Now we discovered that there are five other restaurants under the same ownership with one being across the street and others in Laguna. We re going to sample each of them.

Brussels always is a good choice for the family. Everyone loves it. Fries are the best!!!

Truly fresh combination of flavors and inspired taste. Enjoyable on every count and quiet enough to have a conversation.

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.
