Chocolate Lava Cake
This is just one of my fav...everything on the menu is amazing, extremely well prepared...
Fried Brussels Sprouts
Ally was right, Fried Brussel Spouts were amazing. A week later, the dish is fresh on my mind. The Brussel Sprouts were perfectly tender and accomplished by fresh parmesan slices and Bacon. It was a first for me with bacon. This dish took Fried Brussel Sprouts to a whole new level.
Chocolate Lava Cake
What an amazing dessert and great way to end a visit to my favorite winery! Its the best lava cake filled with hot chocolate lava...yum!
16 oz Boneless Hand Cut Ribeye
My husband and I made it a date night by the gorgeous fireplace on the patio, and decided to share the giant ribeye. I'm still thinking about it, so delicious! Always a special time dining at RCW!
Modjestka Peak | Pinot Noir
So smooth, flavorful and tasty. I'm not one to describe wines, especially ones who left a fonder memory of the good time I had last night but suffice it to say, you will not go wrong with this Pinot Noir.
Fried Brussels Sprouts
I could eat these EVERY DAY! OMG! They were perfect - crispy, smoky, salty, parmesany! The PERFECT combination. Best I've ever had.
Ahi Poke Stack
Awesome service and wine! Ahi Poke stack appetizer was delicious!
Steak Salad
The steak is cooked perfectly. This is my favorite salad at RCW
Gorgonzola Apple Flatbread
The combination of flavors in this flatbread is INSANE. I order it every single time I come. It's so light & fresh but completely satisfies a "pizza craving"
Ahi Poke Stack
Fresh poke on diced mango - PERFECTION. Was perfectly balanced in flavors and chop sizes, and was much more filling than I thought it would be. Would definitely order again.
Fall Charred Salad
The Fall Charred Salad and Lamb Meatballs are my FAVORITE dishes. My friend had the Wedge Salad which I had a few bites of as well and it was delicious. Every time I stop in I order a new wine and new dish and it never disappoints. The staff is great too which is another reason I frequent this spot!
Strawberry Bruschetta
I'm totally guilty of craving the strawberry bruschetta and a glass of the Sangiovese practically everyday! And my husband is happy to oblige and get his own fried Brussels sprouts (though somehow I always get him to share a bite or two or three!) and beer flight. A sunny afternoon on the Rancho Capistrano Winery patio is the perfect start to my Friday evening!
Burrata Caprese
Absolutely amazing! The service is over the top and take their time to explain all the different types of wine. LOVE Aly
Burrata Caprese
So fresh ! Big enough to share and extra delicious.
Gorgonzola Apple Flatbread
OMG this is the best flatbread I have ever eaten! The mixture of the cheese and apples is so tasty. It is definitely one of my go to items!
Hummus
There is something so special about home made hummus! I absolutely love the simplicity of this. Nothing compares.
Chicken Pesto Pasta
Love this meal!! Perfect combination!The sun dried tomatoes with the artichoke is a perfect combination!!
Surf and Turf
I've had this dish with the shrimp and the scallops and they are both amazing! This is always my husband and my go to meal. The steak is always cooked to perfection. The shrimp is my favorite with this meal. Always cooked well, and super flavorful! We look forward to this meal every time we come (which is about once a week). We always grab a bottle of the Los Rios (our favorite wine there) and enjoy!
Fried Brussels Sprouts
There is something about this place that always feels like family and if I had to put a taste to this feeling, it would be Chef Adrian's brussel sprouts. Ya'll. I come to this restaurant a lot. I mean an embarrassing amount. What drew us in was the wine. What brought us back was the food. And what keeps us going are the staff and how they are basically family to us and they have been from the start. And every single time we come here we get "the sprouts". It's just part of the RCW experience. Brussel sprouts are a hard sell to most adults, let alone kids, and I haven't found a single person who doesn't think these are the best they've ever had!
Burrata Caprese
Nothing better than burrata and balsamic on a bed of arugula!
Strawberry Bruschetta
I haven't been to Rancho Capistrano in a while, but I haven't forgotten about the Strawberry Brushetta! I remember every dish I have had here has been amazing, but this Bruschetta stuck in my mind! The perfect starter to any meal!
Pan seared Salmon
The ambience, and service was top notch. My pan seared salmon was delicious and perfectly prepared, paired by the waiter's suggestion of Monarch chardonnay. We enjoyed a wonderful relaxing evening. A new favorite!
Fried Brussels Sprouts
This is one of my favorite menu items. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all delicious! The Brussels sprouts are crunchy and have an amazing balsamic drizzle that makes me want to lick the bowl.
BBQ Chicken Flatbread
The barbecue chicken flatbread is melt-in-your-mouth delicious! It has the perfect amount of tangy barbecue sauce, delicious chicken, and over the top melty cheese. Everything else on the menu looks delicious but we continue ordering the same thing over and over because it's amazing… especially with a glass of Remington 🍷
Ahi Poke Salad
Let me begin by saying that before you get to the entrance you are already filled with excitement and anticipation. Rancho Capo Winery captures upscale and relaxed in their fantastic food selection, irresistible wines and tasteful choices in live entertainment. This is a must visit for San Juan Capistrano.
Chef's Special
Recently, I went to this restaurant for the first time and had a delicious chicken dish stuffed with mushrooms on top of a bed of carrots, broccolini, and mushroom risotto. It was so delicious! I would definitely recommend that dish
Strawberry Bruschetta
Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful wine, delicious appetizers. Enjoyed the happy hour thoroughly on my Birthday. Great way to meet new people in the area.
Rancho Chicken Caesar
This is not your typical Caesar salad! It's one of the classics with a twist! The sun dried tomatoes then cilantro dressing is the genius idea that keeps me coming back for more. I get this hands down every time I go there for dinner. It's a great dish for a picky eater (like myself) to try new things!
Amorette | Rosé of Pinot Gris
We love this spot. A cute little patio, a nice glass of wine, and a delicious BBQ chicken pizza is what my dreams are made of! Luckily for me I can get all three at the winery! Oh and the perfectly crispy pesto cilantro fries...yes please!
Strawberry Bruschetta
Holy Heavens was the strawberry bruschetta delicious!! We are returning on Wednesday for my Dad's birthday and can't wait to eat this deliciousness!!
Grilled Cheese
Every dish I have had - I have LOVED! I love the ambiance, the wine, the music, the fire at night, the service, the different niches and dining spots...it's all fantastic at RCW! My fave is your tomato soup and grilled cheese combo followed by that bomb cheese board - YUM!
Remington | Tempranillo
It's delicious! Paired it with a pizza and salad as lunch for 2. Great wine, great food, great patio seating.
Mushroom Truffle Flatbread
I really enjoyed my visit, from the beautiful and romantic atmosphere, excellent service, impeccable wine and delicious flatbread. I am allergic to mushrooms and the flatbread was still delicious! The chef was kind enough to accommodate. Such a great place to enjoy your time. I'm thinking about joining the wine club!
Fried Brussels Sprouts
So delicious! One of my favorite plates here at this great eatery. Cant beat a summer evening with a little music, a little wine, and fantastic food!
Minnesota Pork Chop
Perfectly cooked and juicy, this giant is seriously satisfying with roasted vegetables and potatoes better than your mom's.
Amorette | Rosé of Pinot Gris
I had the pleasure of trying your Amorette Rosé last night. It was a delightful balance of fruit and acidity. This wine is complex on palette but light enough to go with many appetizers, entree's or desserts. I highly recommend this wine
Fried Brussels Sprouts
Brussesl sprouts are one of my absolute favorites at this here! Along with the strawberry bruschetta are perfect starters! Just thinking about it my mouth is watering!
Zucchini Cannelloni
We love Rancho Capistrano more than we can even express! We are members here because of the amazing food, wine, people, and atmosphere! Adrian is truly talented in his cooking and flavors! The zucchini cannelloni, chicken rollatini, salmon, Brussels, and burrata caprese are some of our favorites! Brunch is also so fun and amazing! They also have so many amazing choices for wine to fit anyone's palette! We have become so close with a lot of the servers as well, it feels like visiting family when we go. We can't say enough amazing things about them! ❤️
Chef's Cod Tacos
These tacos are such a treat! Lightly breaded cod, avocado, and cabbage, all drizzled with the most amazing sauce that has just the right kick. Yum!
Mushroom Truffle Flatbread
We love, love, love Rancho Capistrano Winery!! Everything on the menu (brunch, lunch, and dinner!) is delicious, the wine is fantastic, and the ambience and service can't be beat. We love live music on the patio! My favorites are the mushroom truffle flatbread and chicken rollatini - the flatbread is so savory and creamy and perfect, and the rollatini is moist and delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu at RCW.
