Jane

I almost don’t want to write this review so I can keep this place a secret but omg this is literally what I’ve been waiting for in San Clemente! This is exactly my vibes. I won’t even explain it so y’all can come try! All the drinks are good and I’m 100% in love. Shout out to the bartender Dean for taking great care of us on NYE. Unfortunately we weren't able to try their food as the kitchen was closed, def next time esp the beef tallow fries

What a lovely and surprising find in San Clemente. The entry to this alluring restaurant and bar is unassuming, but once inside, the detail and intentionality of the art deco inspired space is intimate and transportive. We were greeted by a delightful young man whose tone and demeanor accented the elevated and classy ambiance. Our bartender/server was also a delight and made sure to take care of our every need. Cocktails were fantastic and handcrafted with care. I had the ‘Penicillin’- not too sweet or overpowering with subtle notes of ginger and lemon. We paired it with the smash burger for $24. The goat cheese on the burger took it to the next level of decadent and savory. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp with green curry sauce which was an ample portion and cooked well. The menu at Jane is small, but we will certainly be back to try their other offerings.

Jane is a hidden gem! The first time i went here was during Christmas and i was blown away. I love the atmosphere, it’s great for a date or girls night. They also have days during the week where they offer cocktail specials. My boyfriend and i come here all the time and we love it!

Love this place! The drinks were really good. Sadly, we couldn’t try the food because they don’t serve it on Sundays.

Okay, full disclosure: with four kids, a date night that doesn’t involve drive-thru fries or someone asking for ketchup is already a win—but Jane in San Clemente? Total glow-up moment for us. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was chef’s kiss. Dim lighting, gorgeous design, cozy but elevated—like Pinterest and a speakeasy had a very classy baby. It felt grown-up and cool without being pretentious (because let’s be real, I still had a Paw Patrol sticker on my shoe). The cocktails? Don’t even get me started. These are not your average drinks—they’re the kind you sip slow, admire the garnish, and then immediately plan your next visit so you can try another. I had one with gin and lavender that was dangerously good. My husband kept raving about how smooth his bourbon cocktail was. We felt fancy. We felt alive. And the food, though a smaller menu, is incredible. Small plates, yes, but big flavor. Everything was well thought out, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. It’s not a place for giant portions, but it’s perfect for sharing and savoring between sips and conversation. Bottom line: Jane is date night perfection—whether you’re escaping the chaos for a few hours or looking to impress out-of-town friends. It’s moody, delicious, and full of that “we need to do this more often” energy. We’ll be back. Probably with a babysitter already booked.

Every drink we’ve tried has been excellent. Bartenders are knowledgeable and super nice. And the steak!! I can’t say enough good things about the steak and beef tallow fries. Out of this world

Amazing!!! The limited menu of small plates were all lovely. Balanced and complex while filling and with options for everyone. The cocktails were to die for. With great options on and off menu when we couldn’t decide our servers did a perfect job guiding us!

Being a New Orleans fean I will tell ya the oysters are so delicious 🤤 and the sauce that comes with you don’t need any other sauce. I will be a frequent flyer for sure!!!
