Welcome Back Wilhelm!

03.08.13

Longtime renowned restaurateur David Wilhelm will be returning to Orange County’s restaurant scene this summer with the opening of Jimmy's Famous American Tavern in Dana Point.

This will be David Wilhelm’s first restaurant to open in Orange County since his restaurant empire, Culinary Adventures split up in 2009. (Locals will remember fondly his Savannah's, Chat Noir, French 75, and many more successful restaurants he founded.)

Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern’s flagship location in Point Loma is already a popular eatery focused on American regional cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, tap wines, and craft beers.

Like it's sister restaurant in San Diego, Jimmy's in Dana Point will focus on organic and sustainable ingredients as much as possible, and dishes will be prepared from scratch daily. You could recognize some of your childhood favorite dishes on the menu with some creative interpretations, like the half-pound Jimmy Burger with Applewood bacon, pimento cheese, and jalapeno jelly, as well as steaks with buttermilk beer battered onion rings, or the New England clambake in a bowl.

It will also be a nationally certified GRA 'Green Restaurant' which will incorporate water and utility saving equipment and techniques, recycled building and paper materials and supplies, as well as a food-composting program.

The anticipated neighborhood eatery will be open for quick lunches, relaxing dinners, weekend brunches in the former Ristorante Ferrantelli location at Dana Point Harbor.

25001 Dana Point Harbor Drive in Dana Point.

Fish Camp

Fresh Fish Frenzy

02.20.13

Craving fresh seafood where you can customize your order in a casual relaxed setting? At Fish Camp in Huntington Beach on the Pacific Coast Highway you can choose from hundreds of customizable combinations at the counter and get exactly what you want.

You start with your choice in seafood, then decide how you want it (sandwich, salad, plate or taco) and next how you want it prepared (grilled, a la plancha, bbq spiced rubbed, crusted with lemon butter or blackened). Fish Camp is under the King Seafood Company’s umbrella of restaurants; it prides itself on its affordable prices since the company exclusively supplies all of its seafood, easy-to-follow menu concept, and its range of fresh catch-of-the-day seafood. There’s even more options than fresh grilled fish, you can enjoy fresh oysters, live lobster, wild Alaskan Dungeness Crab, peel and eat Mexican shrimp, and crab cakes.

You can also choose from tasty sides like cheesy grits, organic brown rice, grilled spinach, French fries and Jasmine rice. We recommend saving room for the banana pudding, even if you’re not a banana pudding fan. It’s a billowy mixture of whipped cream and pudding, sweet and heavenly.

Open air patio or casual beach inspired dining room seating options.

Open 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
