Built in 1927, Fig313 stands today as an original historical landmark of San Clemente, with a history that is meant to be shared with its seaside community. Carefully constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, distinctive design features include red-tile roofs, white stucco walls, hand-crafted windows and arches, painted tiles, and open-air courtyards.

Originally owned for the first 33 years by John and Jeanette Riley, 313 El Camino Real was renowned as Riley’s Waffle and Coffee Shop. Legend has it that actor John Wayne frequented the restaurant for a hearty American breakfast along with many travelers from all over the world. From 1960 on, Riley’s Café would change ownership many times, evolving into a furniture store, French restaurant, tequila company, and catering business. In 2012, the current owners purchased the property and began renovations and restoration, while staying true to the integrity of the original style.

    We had a pleasant experience at Fig 313, thanks to its cozy atmosphere. Parking is limited to street parking or the church lot behind the restaurant. Service was a bit slow. Although we always make reservations and are seated quickly, for some reason, both times we visited, we had to wait quite a while before a server attended to us. This time, we had plans after dinner, so we had to ask for service before we were finally offered water and able to place our order. However, once the food arrived, the server checked on us regularly, which we appreciated. Overall, we would rate the service 3.5/5. The food is quite good, and we particularly enjoyed the Brussels Sprouts, bone marrow, and toasted octopus. The salad was decent, but the salmon and pasta pomodoro were rather average. On a Friday night, the restaurant wasn’t too crowded, allowing us to choose an outdoor seat by the fire pit, which was a nice touch. If the service speed improves, it would make the dining experience even better!

    Service was slow. Took over 50 minutes to get food. Had to ask for refill of drink, mayo, salt and pepper. We were told kitchen was overwhelmed. He did give us a free dessert that also took to long to the table.

    It took an hour and a half for our food to be served. Our daughter and her husband had to take it to go because they were going to a show at the local theater. We planned 2 hours for dinner. We made a 5:30 reservation so it was before the dinner rush. Our waiter told us twice that our meals were being plated but they never appeared. The manager offered us a complimentary glass of wine but never apologized. He just said nights like this happen and that we could keep the “nice to go containers.” I think he meant it as a joke…not funny.
