Solid choice for brunch! We started with donuts which were good and took the edge off. Everyone loved their omelette’s and the homemade jams with whipped butter were a table favorite. My lobster Bennie was absolutely delicious and a favorite! I enjoyed the breakfast potatoes with peppers and onion. We got cappuccino’s flavors were good but temperature could be warmer, server was very busy. Service was good even though they were busy. Shanna does great job. Definitely need to return to try the pancake’s. Lovely ambiance I enjoyed the fresh flowers!

My family and friends had the opportunity to eat at Riviera in San Clemente located at the San Clemente inn on Thursday night. It was fabulous. What I loved about this place was the menu, something for everyone! Two of my party members were vegetarians and a couple of serious meat-eaters, and they all were extremely pleased!! The shareable choices were enough for the whole table to bite; we had the Brussel Sprouts, fresh Oysters, and incredible chicken dumplings!! I sampled the entree, Brunt scallops which I loved but had the House Burger (½ lb Chop steak, Blue Cheese, Onion mustarda, Apricot jam), was to die for!! The burger came medium rare without me even asking how to cook it, which was perfect!! Leave room in your tummy for the incredible desserts my favorite was the Blue Cheese cake, WOW!! Hats off to the chef Cody and the entire team for making this a wonderful experience.

Very tasty dishes with fresh and high-quality ingredients. Chef Bryan’s hand is well felt in the dishes. The swordfish dish was excellent. The fish itself and the side dishes were at a level that is quite rare to find in restaurants in our area. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant. We will return to the restaurant and it is highly recommended. Thank you!

Had the pleasure of trying out San Clementes latest restaurant. Dang this place was delicious. Tried a couple cocktails, some local craft beer, appetizers, bread plate and salad. Main plate was scallops and a chicken plate. Desert was the homemade ice cream with marshmallows.

Was my first meal in San Clemente and definitely one of the best. Eclectic menu with several renditions of duck! The Chilaquiles de Canard was so well balanced (and so not your friend’s abuela’s chilaquiles): tender duck, cinnamony sweet mole with a little kick, fresh cilantro… what’s not to love? I got them with eggs over easy which I think was the right call. Service was also wonderful (shout out to my server Carol).

This hidden Gem inside the San Clemente Inn was one of our go to places to dine while we stayed in the resort. The bar and signature cocktails were excellent as well as the service and entertainment of our bartender Nick! The food was so good! Fresh fish and the steak and frites were delish!! And! The fried artichoke hearts!! The bread! OMG! I can’t wait to go back!

First off, prices weren’t posted so we were a little cautious. It was pretty reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious. Even the coffee was notable. The venue was gorgeous with a lovely view, and the wait staff was wonderful. Pictures of the menu are attached.
