Jack’s is our go to place for an intimate, relaxing dinner or large family celebration. We had a party of 10 for a special birthday. Everything was perfect from the drinks to dessert! My favorite is the Lemon Drop and we always enjoy something from Jack’s wine selection. Everyone had a great meal. Jack’s offers many delicious choices of entrees no what you are in the mood for. Seafood, chicken, beef and vegetarian options are all tasty and generous. We always look forward to going to Jack’s for an awesome meal and experience.

We have an annual family dinner here which is usually around 20 people and it’s our favorite. Now that they completed the patio renovation, it was better than we could’ve imagined. Everyone loved the comfort and privacy of the patio. The food and cocktails were delicious, per usual. Can’t wait to go back for the salmon montanara — it’s the best!

Love Jacks! Went for a quick dinner in the Lantern Streets of DP, and absolutely LOVED our dinner. I had the Shrimp Scampi, which is always a favorite, and Jack’s Scampi was out of this world! Huge prawns and the butter sauce were magic! Husband had Sausage & Peppers, and he was a happy man! We shared Jack’s salad and a great bottle of Italian wine. Would highly recommend!

Delicious food! Everything was amazing. Lots of off menu specials too. They also have zucchini noodles and squash noodles for gluten free diets. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been dining here for several years and Jack’s never disappoints. The food is consistently excellent, the service is warm and attentive, and the wine list is thoughtfully curated with great options for every palate. The craft cocktails are always creative and perfectly executed, making each visit feel like a special occasion. I highly recommend Jack’s—if you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. You’ll be glad you did.

Dinner was delightful. Isaac was so fun and catered to my father in laws needs of a wine glass for a manhattan to a comfortable table in the bar. And Christopher’s amazing and helpful menu choices made the dinner yummy and fun. The chicken Piccata was delicious and the capaccino was made perfectly
A real special dinner on a Thursday night.

We had a great time at Del Prado House hosted by Jacks Restaurant! Beautiful courtyard that was newly renovated to enjoy Jacks amazing Italian food. Great place to host anywhere from an intimate gathering of 10-12 people, or larger functions. Perfect location in downtown Dana Point.

Surprisingly great hole in the wall. Great food and wine pairing advise, and a wonderful “fine diningish” atmosphere. Servers were knowledgeable, food was cooked well and timely, and the cocktails were well crafted. I recommend getting a reservation as it was very popular.
