Whitestone Restaurant Bar - Dana Point

Excellent service and food. We have been back several times! We really liked that after 2 visits we are considered regulars.

Wierd creepy waitress kept putting her hands in my boyfriends lap and then she got the order wrong

Having driven by probably hundreds of times, last night we decided to stop in and have dinner here last night for the first time. We were immediately greeted sat a very nice large booth (there were 2 of us). The decor was upscale but not too much for us in casual attire. Our server, Blake, came to the table within a couple of minutes. Super polite friendly. Asked for our drink order ... we asked for glasses of Pinot Noir Pinot Grigio, whatever he recommended. He returned with a couple samples his suggestions were great. After reviewing the menu, we we both decided to split a ceased salad both ordered the Flat Iron steak fries with Chimichurri. I replaced my fries with creamy mashed potatoes my friend replaced her fries with grilled vegetables. Everything tasted amazing! Blake checked on us all throughout our visit, had a great sense of humor as we joked about hating our meals having literally cleared our plates. His response was obviously because you didn 't lick it clean lol After closing our check out, a manager and/or host came over chatted with us, also having a great personality sense of humor. Bottom line, this restaurant will be on our list of places to eat moving forward. Two thumbs up for Whitestone!

Have been here a few times for happy hour specials, which are very good. Met a friend here last night, and it did not disappoint. Upon suggestion from Austin, the bartender, we tried the octopus on the main menu--it was off the hook good! We also had the fish tacos, which are our fav happy hour special. The wine selection is very good. Live music that started at 7:00 was not overly loud and really well done. We had a delightful Friday night!

I was given a gift certificate for Whitestone and what a wonderful gift it was as it enticed me to make a visit to a restaurant I have driven past many times but never stoped in for a meal. I made a reservation for 2 at 6:30 on a Tuesday evening and was promptly seated in the dinning room area. Dinning room very nicely appointed and relaxing at the same time. Our sever informed us of the daily specials and we selected two of them for our main dishes, the Chilean Sea Bass and the Short Rib over mashed potatoes. For our starter we got the sautéed calamari in a wonderful red sauce. The excellent calamari was the start of an amazing meal. Both the Sea Bass and Short rib were excellently prepared and each bite was a taste sensation of perfectly prepared dishes. The price point is a little high but for the quality of the food and the serving size not out of bounds and priced accordingly (with the currently high price of food even in fast casual food places). Our overall experience with the service team, food and atmosphere of Whitestone will bring us back many more times. Going to also try the long happy hour on certain days as that menu looked so enticing for a return trip to try some of those items.
