Glasspar

Almost perfect! These guys do seafood right! Ordered the oysters and they were beautiful. Taste of the sea. Some sweet. Some salty. All delicious. The lobster roll with duck fat fries were brilliant! Tender lobster. Crispy fries. A near perfect dish - we didn't particularly like the truffle oil aioli, but that's a personal preference. Overall, scrumptious! The surf and turf was hit-and-miss. The grilled lobster was perfectly cooked. Sweet and tender dipped in melted butter. Yes! The steak was a miss. While it was cooked to a medium rare, it was not a great cut. A lot of fat that was not cooked and making the piece chewy. Surf, yes. Turf, no! And the sourdough bread was fantastic!! This is tough. I wanted it to work. For now, it's one-and-done.

Great patio for dining, plenty of shade and pleasant even in July. Service was friendly, attentive. Oysters were big and flavorful, steak was cooked perfect. Oh, how could I forget the fabulous Espresso Martini! Definitely worth a revisit! 🥂

Ate here 2 times while on vacation, this is a great place. The service, the food and atmosphere were right on the money. Servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Everything we ate was delicious, warm bread, shrimp cocktail with cocktail sauce with a lemony taste really stood out, octopus scallops, parpadelle, sea bass all fantastic. The presentation of the dishes really stood out with different colors and arrangements. There were many different tastes with each of these dishes. The patio is a great place to eat. Wish I lived nearby, would eat there all the time. There are some not so great reviews which hard to imagine given our experience.

Food’s great. Atmosphere’s good. Service seems like it can improve. Visited to have some oysters and cocktails & the midage male server seems unhappy we didnt order more🤷🏻‍♀️maybe we went on a happy hour and its not that pricey..? When i saw reciept after i left i saw the food item was charged regular price - oyster dozen $40, duckfat fries $12 it was selectively happy hour by the server even if we got there around 530pm lol well.. after Glasspar we went to next door and got better service for sure. If i can feel like im not treated right I believe its valid to leave review like this.

Overall, a disappointing evening. It started well with the delicious scallops starter and the sourdough bread. I highly recommend the scallops. Unfortunately, from there, things weren't as good. The salmon and tuna dishes were average, IMO, especially for the price. As for the fish & chips, I can honestly say I've had better from street vendors. The 4 small pieces of cod were soggy, oil soaked and for the most part, tasteless. They have a good wine selection and a decent number of beers to choose from. I would not return to this establishment.

Glasspar in Dana Point is truly one of my favorite restaurants. The food is consistently outstanding—elevated seafood dishes with thoughtful flavor and beautiful presentation. Whether I’m there for brunch, a birthday, or just a special night out, the experience is always top-tier. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: relaxed yet elegant, making it feel both welcoming and upscale. The service is warm and attentive, and the clientele tends to be just as friendly, which adds to the charm. I highly recommend the G3—it’s absolutely delicious. And if you enjoy a good cocktail, don’t miss the Lavender Martini made with Empress Gin—it's my go-to. You can tell the owners bring a wealth of experience to the table. Every detail—from the menu to the ambiance—reflects their passion for great dining. Glasspar is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates fresh seafood, creative cuisine, and an unforgettable dining experience.

I wouldn’t go back here again. Plenty of amazing seafood places in OC and this is not one of them. We had clam chowder (blah and disappointing), shrimp cocktail (just ok), cod was just ok, swordfish I took one bite and wanted to spit it out. It was undercooked and fishy. Very disappointing and I left hungry. Service was slow. Took 29 min to get a new beer. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Food was very good. The dishes were served with flavorful sauces. And, Servise was excellent. Our server went out of her way to make us happy. Even modified my wife dinner to fit her tastes. Watch out for the Tito Oyster Shooters, they are good but lots of liquor. The fresh oysters were very fresh and taste just like the ocean. Clean and fresh. The fresh shrimp cocktails were large and clean, the cocktail sauce was spicy with fresh horseradish. And the other stand out was the potato fries in duck fat. Sounds heavy but there were light and just the right amount of crunch to the skin. We were so full we couldn’t do dessert. I like the decor. We will be back. More Oyster shooters and we want to try the fresh fish next time.
