I just got married at DPYC and they were so wonderful to work with and made my wedding day go perfectly. Lily was so kind and helpful, the food was delicious, and our guests absolutely loved how beautiful it was. We had both our ceremony and reception there for 135 guests. I would highly recommend DPYC for any wedding or special event!

A beautiful yacht club that seems likes it's stood the test of time. You have a great view of the ocean here and membership is required to be able to use the facilities. The club and its facilities itself is a 5 star. No question as the decor and the feeling you get inside is spectacular. Their restaurant has a great view upstairs on the second story and they are very dog friendly which is amazing. Their menu is very simple and straight forward and they mostly have a mix of Mexican, American and Italian food. I had ordered their burger with a mix of onion rings and regular fries, the hummus and their flat bread with fig and burrata. They also have a selection of drinks and a daily drink specials. As far as the taste of the food... the burger was just good, it didn't leave a good or a bad impression, but the hummus had very little flavor and tasted very bland. The fig and burrata flat bread had more of a fig drizzle instead of actual figs and the flatbread had the texture of a cardboard. Now the food from what I have tasted was 2 stars. But again the place is so beautiful you won't care what you eat. I was invited here by a member and it's a great place to hang out and enjoy the view.

My family have been members here for a couple years now and we come to dinner often. The food is always pretty good. I would recommend getting anything with fish as they always have such great fish. The view is spectacular and makes the whole experience that much better.

We were invited by some lovely friends who own a boat here at the Dana Point Harbor, to come dine and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the Dana Point yacht club.. we met some lovely people . they were so gracious to let us bring our own wine of choice. The music was playing, we were sitting outside it was a beautiful evening. We had the delicious mussels and even one of their tasty burgers with sweet potato fries, the deviled eggs were delicious... super fun early evening before a sail out to the Pacific...

We went for Summering wine tasting event... beautiful lite bites and delicious wines .. Best part of the evening was sitting with great friends on the patio and enjoying dinner from a menu that was one of the best menus I have seen in a long time . Collectively, we could not choose it was all so good... Wedge, Sand dads , lettuce wraps and curry vegetables . All so good...

Always great meals. Yes, members only. If you know a member, get an invitation. Terrific view and a warm dining experience

Beautiful place we went for a wedding and it seems to go smoothly.. all the workers seemed very nice and professional. Decorations were beautiful.. refreshments were always full only downfall is the parking

We have been coming here for years and have not had a single bad experience in all of our visits. With their menu being so fairly priced and the food being absolutely amazing I would recommend anybody who is able to come here to do so

DPYC was the perfect backdrop for our wedding this last Oct, the reason for the two stars is that the day of our wedding their in house catering was completely inadequate and unlike anything we had originally ordered or tried at our tasting... They didn't serve one of the appetizers we ordered and paid for, our chicken dish was very different from what we had during our tasting (they served boneless chicken breast vs bone-in, see the photos), and the salmon dish had bacon on it instead of the honey mustard sauce we ordered and tasted. They also never brought out the bread and butter that was part of the meal. Several guests also reported that their dietary restrictions (which was sent to the venue ahead of time and noted on their name cards) were ignored. The main reason i'm writing this review is because when i tried to reach out to get an explanation of any kind, i've been ignored / ghosted. Over the past months me, my parents, and planner have all tried to reach out to Lily (the event coordinator) to no avail. After spending tens of thousands of dollars you'd expect a response back, at the least.

What we had at our tasting

What they served at the wedding, even the presentation and carrots were different...

Cannot say enough great things about this club. Very welcoming. Great food! Would highly recommend stopping by

Had high hopes but feeling disappointed. We were looking to use the facilities for our wedding. We were offered a date and excited to book it. The lady helping us was on vacation and upon her return we were told via email the date was no longer available. She said she would call us and never did. I understand a mistake was made and would accept an apology. Things happen, I get it. Unfortunately no attempt was made to resolve our situation. No other dates offered, no phone call we were just ghosted. Demand is obviously high and business is not suffering. Still, that's no way to treat potential customers. We were left with a sour taste.
