Best Waterfront Restaurants in San Clemente

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!

The Wind & Sea is a beloved long time restaurant. Great location and always great food.

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.

A nice stop on the way to the airport. The bell desk held our luggage while we checked out the beach scene before our lunch reservation. Service and food was good. Restaurant honored a Yelp 50% off appetizer as a bonus. The brussel sprouts was a good choice. Would return if we’re back in the area.
