    This restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a beautiful and classy atmosphere. The views are simply stunning, adding to the overall elegant ambiance. But it's not just about the looks – the food is absolutely delicious and well worth the price. What's even more surprising is how affordable the prices are for such a high-quality dining experience. Our server, Tony, truly made our visit exceptional. He was amazing – friendly, communicative, and full of great energy and a positive attitude. He went above and beyond, offering to take our picture and even guiding us to the perfect spot for the best shot! I've never had a waiter do that before. His service was truly outstanding. This restaurant offers a complete package: beautiful setting, delicious food, reasonable prices, and top-notch service. I will definitely be going back!

    This was our first time at Bloom. I found it on Open table, so I thought we’d give it a try. I chose Valentine’s Day dinner and Bloom didn’t disappoint in the least. It was easy to get to and plenty of parking available. I had made reservations of course and we only had to wait a few minutes for them to ready our table. Once seated our waiter Darin greeted us. The restaurant was very nice and not to noise. They have a great menu selection and drinks to go along with dinner. The food came piping hot in very generous portions and very delicious. The service was excellent. The dessert was very good. Overall it was and excellent dinning experience. I would highly recommend that you Give Bloom a try. Also meal pricing is competitive and fare.

    We had a great dining experience. We felt so welcomed even though every table was full, the manager personally assisted us as well as several staff members. It's a cosy atmosphere and always a treat to dine here. The special lobster dish was delicious and my husband was delighted with his short rib stroganoff. Drinks were a generous pour which is also appreciated. The oatmeal raisin crumble was another amazing surprise. We are looking forward to returning soon.

    My family has enjoyed Harpoon Henry’s for many decades now!! Lovely people, great fresh sea food, salads and sandwiches— and in beautiful Dana Pt. We are very sad to hear they will be closing their doors in the coming months. Our family thanks all of the Harpoon Henry’s “family” for all of the years of fabulous food, service and a special place where we celebrated life’s special moments together.
