8. Mulligan's Sports Bar

We like many on these reviews, wanted a local bar for a quick drink. The bartender was very good, she knew the names of certain cocktails that our friends wanted and it was not the place that you wool expect cocktails to be served. The selection of beer was good and there was a good food menu. The chips and salsa took a while to get to us, but the salsa was also good. There are pool tables here and the atmosphere was good.

While woodfired pizza is better than pizza baked in other ovens, it costs more For those who can tell the difference, it's about twice the price of chain discount pizzas. The crust is crisp on the edges and chewy inside, which you can't get in pizzas baked in regular pizza ovens, or at home. Since woodfired pizzas bring a premium price, the food at TJ's has top of the line ingredients, like San Marzano tomatoes. We had the Big Al's, which comes with both sausage and pepperoni. The latter made the pizza a bit too salty for me. The salt level would probably be perfect in a Pizza Margherita. The caesar salad was quite good, also a bit too salty, and I like salty. Menu includes pizza of different styles, including New York and Sicilian styles. Also calzones and pasta, some appetizers, as few salads, and 16 craft beers as well as self serve drinks. Ample parking in this big shopping center, and free Wifi. Decor is OK, some TVs, outdoor seating, but the main attraction is the wood fired brick oven. Not your ordinary pizza joint, and IMO not suitable for groups of sports teams.

Dropped by for a quick breakfast and we were quite surprised how good the egg tocos were. Excellent salsa and perfectly scrambled eggs. The fresh fruit cup was outstanding. Quite a simple no frills operation, but it all works.

Upbeat California cuisine, served in a smart casual environment. the restaurant has a long and creative wine list, at reasonable pricing. Black and white photos of Hollywood gone by adorn the walls while jazz and aromas of garlic waft through the air.

Had dinner there twice while visiting on Spring Break from New Mexico. Their signature sun dried tomato soup is fantastic, I had it with their grilled cheese sandwich and was pleasantly full! We shared the toffee cake with fresh berries and gelato and were blown away! Later in the week I tried the pasta-less vegetarian lasagna and it was absolutely amazing, much better than I expected. Will definitely go back on our next trip to SoCal!

We were driving through San Clemente and found this restaurant on tripadvisor.com. We love family style Italian restaurants so we decided we'd stop in for dinner.First off, service was excellent. A college age young man served us and he was responsive throughout the meal.There were 4 of us and we ordered a large meat lover's pizza, and pasta with clam sauce. We were immediately brought delicious bread, which impressed me given 3 of our group was eating pizza. It took about 20 minutes to bring the food, which is reasonable for pizza. The pasta came loaded with small pieces of clam, and unfortunately the pasta was swimming in oil. I moved the pasta out of the oil, and enjoyed the flavors of the clam sauce. My husband wasn't impressed with the pizza---it was somewhat lacking in flavor. The pizza didn't have a lot of sauce, and there wasn't a lot of cheese, and what cheese there was isn't stringy. The meat didn't have a lot of flavor. The pizza has potential, it just needs either top notch cheese, or more sauce with flavorful meat. The bill for 4 of us was about $40, which is reasonable for 4 people to eat. The atmosphere is somewhat puzzling. The tables are set for a romantic dinner, there is a bustling bar as if for a bar scene, and then there are TVs everywhere. The TVs had sports events, to include wrestling. Not sure we will be back, as there are too many other restaurants to try out in the area rather than return to a restaurant that is good, but not memorable.
