We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Jack 's. We were early for our reservation, but that wasn 't a problem and the hostess was very welcoming. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. My husband ordered one of the evening 's specials, ossobuco, which he said was excellent. (It 's his go to choice when dining out, so he 's had plenty of experiences to compare it to). I had the linguine with shrimp and scallops. It was a generous portion of linguine and the shrimp were nice and large. I was surprised, though, to only find 2 small scallops on the plate it was really the only negative of the evening. We shared a delicous desert of white and dark chocolate mousse. We will definitely be back!
It was like going to a 5 star authentic Italian fine dining restaurant from a big city in the little Beach town of Dana point. Food, service and ambience was excellent. We were greeted by a gentleman that sounded very NY Italian that treated us like were vip and I noticed he would eye our table and others tables making sure that we were always were taken care of. Maybe he was the owner or manager? Our server Jason was 5 star as well which you don't see often anymore which says a lot about the management and training they provide. Jason was very knowledgeable on the specials, drinks and menu, offering great suggestions. We had a great experience and we will be back many times for sure!
The food and service were outstanding. The restaurant has recently been renovated and offers a lovely atmosphere. My only suggestion is that Jack's should think about upgrading their music system. The sound quality was a bit tinny, resembling something you'd hear in an elevator. Aside from that, everything was fantastic!
I love this place. They seem to effortlessly make you feel comfortable. Having a drink at the bar, while waiting for our table, inevitably ends up with a fun chat with the others sitting there. The drinks are top tier and the food fresh, delicious, memorable. Thanks for a great birthday dinner!

Really stellar restaurant. Great service, food, and atmosphere. We had the angel hair pasta with clams and the pollo piccata, which exceeded expectations. Our waiter was very personable and professional. I'd eat here regularly if I lived here. So many delicious choices.
The food and service are consistently excellent at Jack's. I particularly enjoyed the swordfish special. As visitors from Las Vegas, we come to the Dana Point area once a year and always make it a point to dine at Jack's at least once. It’s our go-to restaurant.
Fantastic personalized friendly service for our Sunday brunch! Food was very good and outdoor covered porch area was spacious and comfortable. Thanks to staff for assisting our directionally challenged relative in finding Jack's!?
Brought our two kids (who we always take out with us), and our server made us feel unwelcome right from the start. Food was below average. Plenty of better options. Will never return and cannot recommend.

I love a restaurant where the owner greets you. The menu is great and the service is outstanding. Try the daily specials! We each had one and they were exceptional. Thanks to Jason for the great service.
Jack and the entire staff did a fantastic job managing our large group. They clearly have a focus on service and the food is fantastic. Could not recommend this place more. Top notch.
