My personal favorite for brunch or lunch in all of OC. It's down-home/gourment food prepared beautifully. It's got a southern feel and is off historic Los Rios Street. Go here...you'll thank me.

This place is in San Clemente which is a 10-15 min. drive but it'll be worth it. They grow some of their own food and the setting is warm and farm/cozy. The cheese boards are heaven and the staff knows what they're talking about when it comes to wine!
