We are San Clemente locals and do not mind spending a little extra money for a good meal. Dinner for two was $118 dollars, and $119 with tip. We were very disappointed with Gordon James. While at dinner, the waitress made an error in our order which was brought to management's attention. The "not-caring" attitude and the arrogance of the... more
