A nice place in town to have a cocktail. Friendly service. We liked coming by once a day while we were in town to say hi.

Having said this the service is good, inside is interesting with lots of memorabilia on the walls and ceiling which makes for am interesting visit. Overall... More

We visited San Clemente on a Taco Tuesday's night. The prices were good but, the tacos were kind of bland. I did enjoy the rice and beans though. While we were eating there was a kitty that kept coming over to our table to hang out. Normally, this would not make me happy but, we all thought it was kind... More

A great big bar and restaurant, super food and prices, and the only place in town you can throw some darts. Which, to me, makes it a five-star mandatory stop. :) You gotta like the Elvis shrine and school-bus room too. Thanks for the hospitality San Clemente!

We went to San Clemente a few times during our stay in Dominical. The service is great. One night while dining we spent some time talking with Mike the owner. I mentioned I'd sure like to watch one of NCAA basketball games the next morning at 10 am. He said they wouldn't be open until 11 but he would put... More

Tuesday night is Taco Night. What a deal! Food was good, marguaritas were fantastic and staff was very friendly and personable. Always had a great time there.

Try the San Clemente place right on the beach. They serve awesome wraps! The Falafel was delicious. not Mediterranean style, but successful fusion of flavors. Vegan-friendly.

Great, fresh food, ice cold beer, and very friendly service. When one travels to a small village like Dominical, they must enjoy the local flavors, and San Clemente is it!

This was a huge disappointment as long time owner has apparently just decided to serve slop. I would not recomend this place and I am surprised that the locals/tourists would even support it. The service was nothing to speak of. We asked a fellow hanging out speaking with his girlfriend that was the only waitress working there, if the place... More
