It is so great to see this lovely restaurant going strong after all these years. We live in San Diego but drove all the way up for dinner. It means a lot to us because my husband Ashish and I first met here over dinner in 2005! Menu leans heavily to meat dishes but they prepare some very nice vegetarian plates (including a delicate pasta) upon request.

Awesome French restaurant! Had my 70th birthday dinner here in May and it was great. Service and food are top notch. This restaurant has been in the family since 1982. If you are in SJC, you MUST come here for dinner.

A really good experience at San Juan Capistrano. Glad to dine here, pleasant Spring day sitting outside w all the surrounding bougainvillea (my favorite flower). Food was delicious from start to finish! We ordered pate and frog legs for starters; trout, duck salad, bratwurst & sauerkraut and kobe burger as main entrees and finish w chocolate torte and ice cream. All the dishes were so good. Service was excellent too, very attentive. We’ll come back again when we visit.

It’s pretty solid, but I think for the price it should have been better!

We walked across the Cathedral for Fathers Day lunch. Menu was maybe limited for today only as we were given days menu. I had the shrimp cocktail, four huge fresh pieces with a sauce tainted with wasabi it bit a little but it was good. My wife had the chicken curry salad pleasantly presented with season fresh fruits. I had the beef, tender & savory. We could have had dessert but we were going someplace else for that. The small crew was attentive & solicitous, the patio looked fresh & inviting. The tables tho closely put together isn’t intrusive from the next table diners. On a beautiful waning days of Spring, this was a good choice. Shout out to our servers, our waiter’s quiet elegance added to our favorable lunch experience. Truly recommended

This restaurant has an amazing traditional French menu. We had seating outside and it is nice. The ambience and service could tap into it’s French and European leanings bit more. But friendly and speedy service overall and as mentioned wonderful French food!
