- BBethVIPOrange County •26 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOne of our favorite neighborhood haunts and always a pleasure. We especially love the patio. The weather did not permit patio seating this particular night with the combination of Santa Ana winds and a particularly chilly temperature for SoCal, but we found the interior a lovely change. During the weekend the dining room can get a bit loud as the acoustics aren’t great, but since we were here during the off season for SJC (and on a weeknight) it was fairly quiet. Our server was fabulous and the food was exceptional. The squash blossom flatbread is a must!!More infoTavern at the MissionPrice: Expensive• American• San Juan Capistrano•4.7

The food is outstanding! The soup was homemade and fabulous. We’ve never been disappointed. Ben the bartender is spectacular! We also recommend Rochelle, who presented our wine and cheese tasting. She was well versed in the wine.More infoWine Tasting at Rancho Capistrano Winery - San Juan CapistranoPrice: Expensive• Winery• San Juan Capistrano•4.8
