Sarduccis Capistrano Depot

Love this place. Try the Old Fashioned... w/ brandy infused cherries! I had the Mushroom & Chicken Crepes for brunch - tasty cajun hollandaise sauce. Awesome saxophone and steel drum music out on the patio. The new owner, Trevor, pays attention to detail. He has really made us feel at home with the hospitality. There's some amazing old photographs around the restaurant (check the ones in the bar). The expansions that they are going to make are really gonna' take this restaurant to the next level.

Edit: Changed from 4 stars to 3. This place used to be really awesome. Apparently about 2 months ago though, the place changed ownership. Things were ok, nothing really stood out. Don't get the best feeling from the new owner. He will spend lots of time at tables that give him/the restaurant praise and try to avoid those tables that have any complaints.

Original Review: I've been going here for years. I really enjoy the food and the atmosphere. There are some areas of the restaurant where you get tucked away and can sometimes be forgotten about for periods of time.

Short rib sandwich was good. Chicken salad was not great. What you get for the money leaves a lot to be desired. Cool, casual ambiance though.

Had a family gathering at Sarducci's the Pasta dishes were excellent along with the salads. Only 1 tip request that the Salmon not be overcooked other than that the ambience and dishes were excellent we will come again. There was 7 in our party we were so comfortable we were there about 2 1/2 hours.

My party came here for lunch prior to an afternoon of touring the Mission and had a great time. We were promptly seated, our server was attentive, and the atmosphere in the interior dining room was great with the trains coming and going. The food was delicious, with the cinnamon-citrus french toast and paradise chicken salad being standouts. We will definitely be back.
