Best date night place in San Clemente ! Casual and elegant at the same time. Menu changes frequently with the seasonal availability of fresh food. The bar and the outdoor patio are fantastic places to relax and enjoy great fare. Excellent wine list.

This is a really nice place. Not too stuffy but still high end food. Of course a very good wine list. Nice place for a special occasion but if you want to hand in the bar you can still get the same great food.

We were looking forward to trying out this hotspot and really wanted to like it. Nice variety on the menu, server strongly recommended "The Special" of a ribeye that the chef got through a special relationship that allowed him to have full reign on butchering and preparation. Ridiculous sell, but the beef itself was the worst ever...grizzly, tough and chewy.... More

Always such a great night out! IT'S NOT A CHAIN! It's a unique, cozy, little independent restaurant with a great feel to it - great food, great beer- (or a full service bar)- great service, great atmosphere. Fresh, from the market food - always tastes great - - and the service is done with a smile. Beers, burgers, or a... More

We've been to St Roys Pub 4 times and its been excellent each time. The Pub is not fine dining its a very comfortable atmosphere with rock solid grub that is fresh, platted beautifully and delivered by knowledgeable attentive wait staff. We absolutely adore Javier who saves all the bread ends for my hubby. We always start with both the... More

Great variety on their menu. You can eat as simple as a burger or dine on a wonderful cioppino or lamb shank. I warn you the burger is no ordinary burger. it is amazing. Great service, great atmosphere. My only complaint is everyone has discovered this gem and I couldn't get in w/o a reservation on a Friday evening like... More

I just ate here last night and the lamb shank was very good. It just fell off the bone and had great flavor. The menu is hard to figure out since you are looking at fish tacos, hamburgers and then assorted fish entrees and more elegants foods. I think the menu looked a little unimpressive, but the food was great.... More

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in, never mind one of the best restaurants in San Clemente! Who would have thought such a gourmet gastropub/restaurant with wine-country influences could be found in a little beach town? I loved everything about this place from the ambiance to the menu, the food, and the wines on tap -... More
