Sundried Tomato American Bistro San Clemente

We arrived early, and the staff recognized that we were in a rush and needed to be somewhere in an hour. Our appetizers arrived quickly, and we were able to eat promptly. Our server was fantastic—attentive and knowledgeable. Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience.

We dined at Sundried Tomato about three years ago and had a great experience, but this time was quite different. The restaurant was very crowded, and the noise level was quite high, which is manageable when the staff is prepared for it. The service was average, and the food was just okay. The jump roll appetizers were overly crispy and lacked flavor. The lamb chops were tasty, but the accompanying potatoes were undercooked and not very appealing. Overall, it was a mediocre dining experience.

We were looking for a place to have dinner near the beach, but all the restaurants in the area were packed. Then we discovered Open Table and Healthy Tomatoes. I didn't realize there was one in San Clemente! It was a bit of a drive home, but exactly what we needed. There was no wait, the food was great, and it was a much quieter spot for us to enjoy our meal!

14 of us gathered for Sunday brunch. eating. the selection was varied, tasty and good value. we were able to hear each other speak as the sound level was exactly right. the service was right.

Excellent brunch choices! We ordered the Omelet with Brie and Carmelized Onions! Delicious!
