Nomads Canteen - San Clemente, California

A group of 4 stopped in on a Wednesday night. They weren’t too busy so we were seated immediately.
I was immediately shocked at how affordable the pricing is. I ordered a salad with grilled ahi and the creamy coconut dressing. I was very satisfied with the meal! The portions are decent but not so much food that you feel like you’re stuffed. They have indoor and outdoor seating with space heaters for chilly nights.
The service was very fast and attentive.
Definitely a good casual spot for dinner and drinks!

This place is pretty good, it’s a local restaurant and because of that you will get a different take on many of the foods that one has already had in the past.
Like the torta, instead of your normal bolio bread, you get a ciabatta bread instead.
Now is that a good thing, we’ll it’s a hit and miss sometimes and this time it’s a bit of a miss. But that shouldn’t turn you away from areas like these because some of the others things in the menu which they do a different take in comes out delicious.
So I recommend this area because I love the open mindedness of it and can’t go wrong with a well priced steak that turned out to be very good.

So do yourself a favor and go here for a nice lunch near the beach.

Hey, I was here in 2020 when you guys got fined that fat stack for staying open during the plandemic. What an experience.
Me and 3 ladies waited in line for 15 minutes then went in and got some food and drinks and tipped well.
always appreciate the battle against government. We had a good time.
Food, service, drinks,. Always a pleasure.

I can't speak highly enough about the service especially the manager (Sean/Shawn). He helped me with a 1200 miles away family dilemma. I couldn't be there to attend a very special event and he stepped in and saved the day! In a week filled with issues, headaches, heartaches, and turmoil, he was a hero if only to me this day. The picture maybe a bit cringe, but it truly will be a highlight I will always remember... even though it took photoshop to memorialize it. Thank you!!

In my opinion, this hotel was AMAZING the service was perfect, no complaints at all. Food was on par so we're the drinks, loved the freebies we got on entry. I think every single part of this hotel was clean, Yes this includes the bathroom (I checked). Overall this hotel gets a 5-Star. Review from me🥰

I’ve been coming to nomads for years, and every time I do, it’s fantastic. Sitting on the deck you also have a hard time not running into some cool San Clemente dogs and their owners, which is always a bonus for me.

Upon arrival the room was such a shot of color and set the tone for the stay. Definitely feel the California vibe and the decor is so playful and fun. Getting into the room is super easy with the email instructions and the digital access to the room which made it a breeze to get our stuff in an unpack without having to go check in in the front desk. I’ll definitely have to book dish when I do my stay for surf camp.
