- TThomasOrange County •25 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is our first time dining at Jack’s. It was superb from the food to the service. Jack introduced himself and even assisted my disabled husband to get out of his chair. We were delighted with our food. The filet was fabulous as was the swordfish. And the tiramisu was to die for. The service was attentive, friendly and top notch. We will be dining here again in the near future.More infoJack's Restaurant/Bar$$$$• Italian• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.9
