Best Fun Restaurants in San Juan Capistrano

Bloom is located directly across the street from the Mission San Juan Capistrano and was a convenient choice to dine at before Capistrano Nights. However, their flavorful food and attention to detail ended up being a much welcomed surprise. With so many restaurants to choose from within the block, they definitely stand out on service and professionalism alone. I will definitely be back.

Everything was good but some large parties arrived shortly after us and it became very noisy and hard to converse.

They were busy, however the hostess was able to keep up with check-ins and patrons paying their bills. We had a reservation and waited about 10 minutes for our table. Our server was kind and explained all that they had to offer. Food was delicious. I would go back!

The food is amazing! We had the walnut shrimp, coconut curry, New York strip, pork ribs, and fried rice—all were amazing. We were in the inside room and there were two large parties so the noise level was high. But overall, a wonderful dinner!!

I went to Mayfield while visiting my parents for the holidays and celebrating a promotion at work. Expectations were high given that I looked at the menu online and thought I would happily eat everything on jt...and they were met and exceeded! One great indicator: 3 days later, my father, who is usually not impressed by restaurants, is still regularly raving to relatives and friends about the Moroccan carrots and grilled broccolini. The baba ganoush and date labneh were amazing to start with (along with the house-baked foccacia), and the beef tagine croquettes and mussels with n'duja also impressed. Dessert was a smooth, silky chocolate crémeux with orange/vanilla-infused olive oil to drizzle on top...just the chefs kiss. Service was friendly and helpful and enthusiastic, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. I look forward to returning on future visits!
