Ysidora Restaurant and Lounge 26907 Old Mission Road, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

"Our reservation was for 6:30, we loved the ambience and the live music, but that was really it. Food: For appetizers, we ordered the truffle fries and squash blossoms. The fries looked like the fries you would order at red robin. Not crispy at all. The squash blossoms looked great but didn't have any real flavor. For the main course, my wife wanted to order the vegan eggplant parmigiana, but they were out so she settled for the salmon. I ordered the Hangar steak, medium rare. Our food took a considerable amount of time to arrive. We didn't get our food until after 7:30, a whole hour after we initially arrived. My steak arrived well done, the server was apologetic and had another one made quickly, but everything was quite bland. The serving sizes were lackluster as well. For dessert, we ordered the vegan chocolate cake but they were out as well. We decided to cut our losses and leave. Overall, we were very underwhelmed because it looks gorgeous and we love the area. We will not be back."

"Absolutely love this beautiful and cozy place. Friendly staff and pretty good food. Grilled octopus was phenomenal, steak was juicy and delicious, seafood was awesome and apple cinnamon chorus was perfect."

"Absolutely love the unique cocktails that these wonderful bartenders create with such artistry. This place is wonderful for dinner, or for the warm ambience of the lounge. Great addition to San Juan Capistrano!"

"Great atmosphere, and pretty good food. The service wasn't as great. Took awhile to get our order and when we ordered a bottle of wine they ended up just giving us a glass. But turned out for us, that was enough, since we wanted needed to head out early anyways. There was a larger party there that they were focused on, so I guess can attribute to that? They did say there was a glitch in their system, tho found it hard to believe since others who came after us, had no issues."

"An absolutely delightful evening for dinner here tonight. We told our waiter, Jeff who was spectacular btw, to just bring us what he and the chef recommended. They did not disappoint! Every dish and every drink was delicious! I can't wait to come back again and try all new things next time!"
