Wait staff & the view were tremendous!
Danny fun waiter. Fish & chips. Fish was good.
Potatoes & Colslaw were so so.

Nice foods. Kids love fish and chips.

We enjoyed our meal. It is a rather noisy atmosphere, but the food and views were very nice!!

Great local hangout by the outside firepit...always good conversation during happy hour

I love coming here whenever we are in the area. The drinks are strong (that's why you can only have 3) and the food is good.

Always a great time! Live Music, Great Food!

WHEREAS, On March 32nd, 2024, Wind & Sea Restaurant will apparently throw a party for surviving fifty years of serving overpriced seafood to unsuspecting victims, all while pretending to be a cornerstone of Dana Point society; and

WHEREAS, Robert "Bob" Mardian, the mastermind who chose frying fish over pursuing a real career, decided to bless Dana Point with Wind & Sea Restaurant back in 1972, and against all odds, managed to keep it afloat for five decades, proving that mediocrity knows no bounds; and

WHEREAS, In between cooking up overpriced fish dishes, Bob Mardian found the time to spread his culinary "genius" to other locations, because apparently, one overrated restaurant just wasn't enough for him; and

WHEREAS, Despite serving up dishes that would make even a seagull cringe, Wind & Sea Restaurant somehow convinced people to hold their weddings and special events there, probably because they were too drunk on mai tais to know any better; and

WHEREAS, Wind & Sea Restaurant proudly boasts a staff so ancient that their uniforms might as well be labeled "antique," with employees so deeply entrenched that their family trees are basically part of the restaurant's decor; and

WHEREAS, By joining the Dana Point Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center, Wind & Sea Restaurant secured itself a shiny award for pretending to care about the local community while raking in profits from overpriced meals; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED BY SENATOR NORMAN BATES, That upon the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary, Wind & Sea Restaurant be sarcastically applauded for somehow convincing people to eat there for fifty years and for pretending to be a pillar of the community.

I guess what really put me over the edge was the fact that I wanted to sit outside by the water. We were only a group of three and were told that it was not possible because you had to have six people. Instead we sat inside as we had no choice. as I sat inside I watched the four tables outside that were never utilized. So, here's to you. I traveled across the United States in hopes of good food and service, but I guess that's not what you guys are about.

Views!! Views!! VIEWS! Mix that with amazing food and good prices, great portions, not sure but believe that's definition of great!

Outdoor dining, good food, near the water, what's not to like!

Parking: plenty
Atmosphere: fantastic, dinner with a view to watch boats in harbor while sun is setting
Host/hostess: greeted us timely, friendly and sat us quickly. Booth with great view of harbor
Service: server rushed us through our evening and when we kept our own pace became inattentive and unfriendly, dropping plates and rushing away
Food: chefs special- scallops were raw, my wife excused herself immediately after first bite to be sick in the bathroom. Informed the server who offer to re-fire the plate so we could take home which we declined.

6:30 reservation, Saturday night, busy but no one waiting to sit
4 adults spending $50+ ea
Drinks, appetizers, meals (no dessert)
Special Occasion: wedding anniversary, friends have dinned at Wind & Sea previously and wanted to share the experience with us

Casual place. Lots of outdoor seating on the harbor

Very dirty!!!

Restaurant with a beautiful view of the Dana Point Marina. Food is delicious. Scallops were seared beautifully and fish was blackened nicely. First time ever eating Mexican oysters and they were good! Make a reservation for sunset time and ask for a window seat by the water.

Waiter didn't hear the entrée ordered. Had the seafood bisque..kinda sausaugee..burger was good

Great food and great set

Friendly and professional staff. Food above average. Portion sizes good. Nice views.

Missed the brunch they had. The view is great and atmosphere for the price and service Coffee shop next time.

Tired, worn out, middle of the road. But great location. Won't be part of the future of the harbor unfortunately.

Great place, location and an easy walk from the local hotels!!

J'ai beaucoup apprécié la vue depuis la terrasse de Wind & Sea. C'était superbe. Un agréable resto à Dana Point.
