I have been to the sushi bar many times but returned this week for a full dinner. To be fair, our server was fantastic and I've always loved the ambiance but the scallops were prepared in an awful sauce and my ahi was under seasoned. The artichokes, which are fabulous all over the O.C. We're boiled and served with another... More

Came here for a birthday party. Sat outside (as requested through Urban Spoon) which was lovely. Our waiter was nice. He was efficient...as efficient as he could be juggling multiple tables and dealing with our group of 7. The food came out pretty timely (we ordered clear off the sushi menu...various rolls and sushi). It was all very tasty and... More

Had dinner on a quiet Wednesday night. The atmosphere is nice, but our food was bland. We ordered a bottle of wine, clam steamers as appie, sushi rolls and salmon sushimi for the entree. The waitress brought out the salmon sashimi first claiming the kitchen made a mistake. To be polite we ate it, shortly after our entree came out... More

We love this place but after trying the "grazer" menu twice with terrible results...stick to the seafood. They have incredible sushi and great fish plates but this is not a steak house. My mistake. The service is excellent and they do have an awesome happy hour.

Just across from Dana Point Harbor this is must do if you enjoy excellent sushi. Sit inside or on their beautiful protected patio. The staff are great and the food is excellent. Happy hour is a wonderful value...all the favorites and great wine/coctails at amazing prices. Free easy parking and you can walk across the street and stroll the shops... More

We are local and eat here as much as we can. Infact we are going tonight and I am so excited! I usually order "The surfer which offers two different pieces of fish with the sides. This place is not the cheapest in town but gret service and food is awesome!

Visited recently from the UK with my husband. Sat outside and enjoyed our meal, the food was good and the service quite acceptable, althought some waiters seemed more efficinet than others, would return on another visit.

The food was pretty good at this new place just down the long staircase from the Laguna Cliffs resort. The indoor area where I dined was a bit less charming than the semi-outdoor heated patio. The chef seems adventurous and quality-conscious. The service is still a little green--our party of 5 was squeezed into a table for four with an... More

The happy hor here is one of the best. The sushi is very good quality and the beef sliders are very very good. The mai tai and mahe martini are both great.

Don't miss dinner at Mahe. This, mostly, fish restaurant has a great menu with Sushi starters and some delicious main courses, my favourite was the seafood pasta, with the biggest scallops I've ever seen! We also had the blackened swordfish which was fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful, recommending dishes and explaining everything on the menu. My favourite place... More
