The Point

This is a cool sport bar to hang out right on the beach . Not too loud . Good vibes and nice beer selection Erin is very nice and helpful! Try Kona Big Wave

The Point has always offered a great spot for a lunch or Dinner for the sports fan with its large selections of TV's for sports viewing . We stopped in to watch the Sunday night games of Baseball and football . I was surprised no drink or food specials . We had A wedge salad, chicken wings and Nachos everything tasted great with a generous portion on each item our server was pretty friendly and knowledgeable with the menu our server got a little busy and we were kinda on our own towards the end . The food was good and the atmosphere good on a busy night I would return again . Great spot to catch the game with good food .

We had a great time at the point. Very spontaneous wanted to catch a good game . First off, they played all my favorite music. Sat at the bar. I had a burger and they graciously substituted the bun for sourdough bread yummy sweet potato fries.And the Chardonnay were not too shabby ...

We were back in Dana Point and tried this place again, still a great atmosphere and awesome staff.Erin is awesome and helpful. We ordered pepperoni pizza and sliders with fries.

I unfortunately did not have a good experience when I dined at The Point. And this was all due to the poor service. The food and vibes were fine, we came to watch the football game and drink beer. But our experience was tainted by the outright rude and disrespectful staff. They refused to serve us / took forever / hardly checked in. No smiles or friendliness. The only saving grace of this place was the pulled pork sandwich.

What a fun find! Sitting inside near the window, offered nice views of PCH, the hills of San Clemente, a peek at the beach, and Dana Point's Lantern District sign... and pleasant breezes. Our bartender/server, Dianni, was the best: friendly-&-energetic, attentive, and ... fun! We just went in for a drink and a quick bite. Well drinks were good! We'd shared the Doheny Salad and Lumpia; the salad was a generous portion as well as fresh and tasty; while it was difficult to clearly identify the water chestnuts and green onion in the lumpia, we enjoyed the crisp and lightly-fried thinner-than-traditional egg rolls atop a tasty little salad.Parking spaces in the lot are limited; fortunately, we landed the last space. We look forward to returning!

I was in the area on business and wanted to have a good sit down meal at a spot I hadn't tried before. The Point came up, so I decided to give it a try. Reagan and Kaylie (trainee at the time) were manning the front desk. They were so welcoming and kind! They went so far beyond what is expected that I grabbed their names to note in this review. Talked about the menu, their favorite items, etc. really well done. Then I was sat with a view out the window of the ocean, which was fantastic! The waiter came over and was exceptional (sadly I checked my notes and didn't write his name down because I was sure I would remember. Peter maybe?). He was friendly and funny and very knowledgeable. He answered my questions, asked me what I liked and gave me suggestions. I ended up with the burger that was on the special seasonal menu (again, the name is not in my notes ‍). It was a stuffed burger version of The Point burger. So so good. Terribly messy - dribbled all over the place - but entirely worth it. The atmosphere is like an upscale, woodsy American bar/restaurant, and it was really enjoyable. The view is second to none because the ocean is just so great. What put this whole visit over the top were the people. The three I mentioned were exceptional examples of good customer service.

I was surprised to find Filipino cuisine on the menu. They even serve lumpia! As a Filipino, this makes me really happy. I also ordered tapsilog, but it was more of an American version rather than the traditional Filipino tapsilog. The service and ambiance were just okay.

After the Sawdust festival we stopped here on our way back south. Inside building with an open air feeling with a great view from inside. They also have an outside area. Our waiter was fun and the food was good. There were seven of us so we ordered drinks and appetizers. We tried the lumpia ($13.45) which was not what I expected. I live in NC and we had a place that made fresh lumpia so I was shocked to see packaged lumpia. It was okay but I would not get them again. Once you have fresh lumpia you can't eat packaged. We also tried the fish tacos ($13.45) and they were pretty good. Probably the best out of the food we tried. Someone got a chicken burger ($16.95) , which was a good size burger and they said it was good. It came with sweet poto fries. Nothing jumped out at us but the place just has a good vibe. If I lived here I would visit often. It's a fun place.

Half full bloddy with an Olive. New record for worst bloody Mary ever. No greeting and slow service/
