I migliori ristoranti barbecue a Dana Point / Monarch Beach

We’ll go again, though they’re new and still need to work out a few things on the menu. We’d prefer more entree options (even a simple ‘pick two smoked items’ option) plus include a small salad as one of the sides. Cocktail pricing and draft beer pricing is good…though two taps were out. (One for a brewery that is in San Clemente). And for a CA based restaurant, why charge $18 for a glass of Falcone Syrah when the bottle is $32 retail? All in all…this expansion of Drift to a restaurant location is a winner!

“I recently visited the Orange County Mining Company, and it was an unforgettable experience! The rustic charm of the restaurant, paired with the stunning views overlooking the city, made for the perfect setting. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the evening. I ordered the prime rib, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and paired with delicious sides. The salad bar was also a standout, offering a wide variety of fresh options. We stayed for sunset, and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a unique dining experience, the Orange County Mining Company is a must-visit. I can’t wait to go back!” Let me know if you want to adjust the tone or focus!

Great food and great service! Will def come back again

This was our first visit to Salt Creek Grill after the new ownership and remodeling. Much improved and updated, great ambience with piano player/singer for our date night. Service was excellent and very attentive from Jason. Food was excellent, cost was on the high side. Overall highly recommend this place.

Great brisket sandwich and veggies. Rooftop is very nice and quieter. Umbrellas and headlamps too. Great/friendly service from Jamie.
