This is the best restaurant to come to San Clemente in ages. It is a perfect place to get a fantastic taste of southern cooking (the fried green tomatoes and the pan-seared scallops are my favorite) while enjoying a great atmosphere. Eric, Lisa, and the staff are so helpful and accomodating, they really make you feel like family. Whether you're looking for a great meal or you'd just like to hang out in the bar and listen to some fantastic blues musicians, Iva Lee's is where it's at. Don't forget to finish with some of their chickory coffee creme brulee. yum!
