“This was our first time eating Peruvian The food was tasty, fresh and great portions.”

“Best part of eating here at the Del Mar location is the exceptional service by Trudy! She’s incredible! Makes the experience top notch. The food is also superb, everything I’ve tried is very tasty and healthy.”

“Happy hour is bomb. $1.50 oysters, $6 shrimp tempura,”

“love the atmosphere and location — perfect place to grab a treat by the ocean on a hot summer afternoon while checking out the books next door. the texture and quality of the ice cream was so good it made me temporarily fall in love with the incredibly helpful staff member in the yellow Third Man Records shirt who helped me (haha jk … unless?)”

“Great food . Well prepared and tasty , but a rowdy table with loud guests ruined the atmosphere and enjoyment. I asked management to calm the table down , but nothing was done.”

“Joe was an awesome bartender! He made the T special and I don't even know what is in it because I'll just keep coming back to him for it. I don't even like bloody Mary's and that one was great. Food was fast and very good and if they need to bring the tostada back. Thanks Joe!”

“The food was delicious I recommend it everyone.... FrIendly waiter u can see them making the food I enjoyed it.. I’m coming to eat..”

“Excellent food and cocktails! Had amazing service from James and Jessica, made my friends birthday extra special. Kudos!”

“Thank you to Wendy who got a table ready for our group of 7 people at short notice! She took great care of us and make the experience 5 star. The food was also excellent. Would recommend dining here”

““I traveled to Del Mar specifically to experience Monarch’s sunset toast, and it exceeded every expectation I had. The view is breathtaking, the food and cocktails were wonderful, and the atmosphere is truly unforgettable.

What made the evening so special, though, was the incredible staff. Sydney welcomed me with such kindness from my very first phone call through my arrival. My server, Dani, provided warm, attentive service that made me feel completely at home. After the sunset toast, Eric, the manager, took the time to personally introduce himself, share a hug, and make what was already a meaningful evening even more memorable.

This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone at Monarch for your genuine hospitality and for creating such a beautiful tradition. I’ll absolutely be back.”

“Best pizza I’ve had in as long as I can remember!!! It was fantastic!!! Super friendly on the phone when they called confirming my Internet order (I’m really impressed they reached out to confirm - above and beyond great customer service!) and the delivery person was incredibly nice! Delivery was lightening fast. Highly recommend!”

“While enjoying drinks and dinner with my wife in the lobby, there was a drunk individual who was escorted out by Devon, the security manager. I was truly impressed by Devon's remarkable composure and professionalism. It is evident that he is exceptional at his job.”

“It’s our annual place to be every August for the last 17 years: celebrating 50 years of marriage! The food, service and atmosphere right on the beach is heavenly. Our bartender Steve congratulated us and we talked for a short time. Everyone is so friendly, can’t beat the quality of their meals ! We drive out from Phoenix to have their specialty. Well worth the ride❤️❤️❤️”

“Kudos to Gerardo, He was always very attentive & making sure we had a wonderful experience. Super Friendly Staff. Overall Amazing Service.”

“Best grilled shrimp taco I've ever had, quite literally. The flavors, the presentation, it was exquisite. I walked in on a whim, due to the inviting ambiance, and the food, drink, and service (special shout out to Rudy!) was phenomenal. Highly recommend when visiting Del Mar!”

“Not only does Drew knowledge of coffee exceed your expectations, but the service is always friendly and the product is on point! Not to mention the merchandise is well priced and the t-shirts are super soft. He even delivers so there’s no need to worry about when you’re going to get it! A little joy is exactly what you feel when you’re doing business here!”

“I love this Chin’s Restaurant is a beautifully situated establishment with a cordial and happy staff. The menu offers a comprehensive selection of Chinese cuisine, making it a neighborhood staple for many frequent patrons. Regarding a recent incident where a customer claimed to have found celery in their dish, I know for a fact that the restaurant does not serve celery; perhaps the patron mistook bok choy for celery.”

“great pizza. amazing atmosphere can't beat pizza by the beach”

“Let me start by saying that Alex, with an amazing attitude, kindness and smile was super 👌 🙏🙏..
Came here to do a job, walked in and he greeted me with this an incredible attitude!!! Not to mention the cheese cake. Delicious.

Thank you Alex.”

“We have been looking for a place that served tasty Acai Bowls…Our favorite Acai bowl places either, closed down, burned down or changed the way they made their Acai bowls…We found Liquid Bean Café on the internet and decided to give it a try…Well, we both had the Acai bowls but I added an Egg Salad Sandwich pressed in a Panini press to our order…The Acai Bowls were fresh and totally delicious!!!…I really liked the Egg Salad Sandwich and loved the way it was pressed and toasted in the Panini press…We highly recommend Liquid Bean Café if you are ever in the Del Mar area…We will definitely be back again!!!…Five Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Logan and team did a great job with service. I had the crab and shrimp enchiladas and I gotta say they were some of the best Ive had anywhere. Give them a shot, sit at the bar, you will be welcomed.”

“Great food! I had the lamb shank and it was so tender, it fell off the bone. Service was great!”

“Great place to bring the family and friends. We go ad least once a week.”

“delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great service”

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.”

“Pancakes are so good! One order is enough for two. And wherever they get their bacon? Delicious!”

“Food was amazing. Ordered a breakfast burrito and got the chunky salsa with it absolutely delicious. I also came back the following day got a california burrito absolutely hit the spot will be returning to this spot whenever I am in the area.”

“I enjoyed the Ginger Miso salad”

“Obsessed with this place. Such a fun little rooftop coffee truck with amazing coffee, great food, and the best atmosphere. A hidden gem that everyone needs to know about!”

“Honestly just needed a restroom on the way to the Del Mar Fair…but the staff friendliness made us feel like we’d found a new home. Haven’t met a BB drink we didn’t like, and the chocy chip cookie was to die for! Thanks fam!!”

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere”

“Wonderful bar in the Hotel L’Aubarge in Del Mar. Bartenders Blake and Leo are awesome but all who work there are awesome. Great vegetable crudités that looks like you are pulling vegies out of a garden but taste delicious (just don’t eat the stems, they are a little bitter) ? Live music, amazing views especially at sunset. Thank you as always

Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible”

“Best sushi in San Diego. We never had a problem coming in sitting down and having a wonderful time eating sushi here. Staff here is great to work with they know the menu. Every time I’m in the area stop by to get a Solano roll. Maybe 2 or 3 or 4. They’re that good.”

“Food is great. Cashier was rude. She’s a very young redhead lady. Not sure why she’s so angry. Wanted to buy more but did not enjoy her condescending attitude. She was annoyed”

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.”

“Queso fundido the elites and the steak plate”

“Busy and loud but fun. Door and service was good. Recommend for casual dining”

“outstanding food and owners!!”

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“The food was good but the service was even better. In a world where good service is hard to find, this crew really shines. I needed a quick bite while waiting for someone and really enjoyed my meal”

“I was in the area visiting from LA with my future in-laws who are locals.They have been coming here for years and always shared how delicious it was.I was blown away by the food. The service is outstanding. It is owned and operated by a family. I will absolutely be back and recommend to anyone who likes Vietnamese cuisine.”

“The breakfast burrito is the best!! The bagel with lox also delicious and fish and fries as well. The atmosphere is cozy and the service kind and helpful. I didn’t give a 5 because my chicken sandwich had a very tasteless piece of chicken breast. This was so in contrast to the bun, the fresh avocado and tomato I added. I suggest they use a better type of chicken. This looked like a frozen flat mass produced product with bad texture and no flavor. Hope this is helpful as otherwise the cafe is super nice with many tasty drinks and food.”

“Breakfast menu😘 excellent aervice”

“This place has the great yogurland flavors that you expect, but what stood out was the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. The yogurt stations were well kept and all the toppings were fresh (including the nuts). You can tell that the owner/staff really care for the place. We look forward to visiting again!”

“The drinks were excellent!!! The love music was awesome!!!❤️🐏🌤🎼”

“Been going to this birdrock for over a year now and finally leaving a review. Love the baristas there!! Brought my family from out of state and they absolutely loved the chai. One of the best hot chais. The dark chocolate mocha was wonderfully made too. Never seen latte art like this before either! I could taste the espresso with the dark mocha and it was so smooth with no bitterness. The location is beautiful too, one of the prettiest cafes.
Line wasn’t too long today and baristas were pretty efficient. So friendly and they know what they are doing.”

“Great night crew tonight! Had the speed, quality and service I love to see my sandwich was perfect! If you don’t like jersey mikes you just don’t know what to order great sandwiches every single time! Can’t beat it!”

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu”

“It is a beautiful location with amazing food and service 🤗👏”

“I understand mistakes happen. I usually eat at this restaurant once a week after my late shift around 2/3 a.m. I noticed the quality of food got really bad. My meal was simple—a single patty cheeseburger with nothing on it. The first mess-up was the fries—they were burnt. Then the second mess-up: a burnt burger. Like, crispy burnt. Then my last and final straw—they served me a moldy burger that I thought was flour. Even my friends saw it and agreed after I sent them a picture. I ended up in the hospital. I called the manager, and he didn’t even offer a refund—said I was lying. I told him I’d send proof, and then he said no and hung up in my face. Not only is the manager rude and disrespectful, he cares little for his kitchen’s mistakes—and it cost me a day in the hospital. Cost me the only day I have with my son. All because his chefs are lazy and don’t care what they serve.”

“Great atmosphere and super service”

“We went there once Thursday night and it was good but Sunday night was so quiet and wasn’t as fun. The bartender was super nice and friendly and the drinks are good.”

“Outstanding restaurant! Great food, the shrimp cocktail is amazing and the taquitos are perfect. The bartender Adam is a real pro and makes perfect drinks and has a phenomenal positive attitude. I highly recommend this bar and restaurant if you like great drinks, great food, and amazing service!”

“We so enjoyed our time last night with friends. We will return soon.”

“Heated outdoor, large menu, great food!”

“Only had lunch here two times but it was absolutely the best deli meal I have had and I am originally from Manhattan. The food is the best, generous portions, the staff is great, prices are good for today’s times and for what you get. We will be back!!!❤️”

“A great restaurant with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. Branzino was excellent and the spumoni gelato was delicious. Definitely, we will be back.”

“We had an amazing stay at L'Auberge Del Mar. The hotel was stunning—beautifully updated with modern finishes and stylish furnishings. Our room was exceptional, featuring an incredibly comfortable bed, luxurious bedding, a marble bathroom, and a breathtaking ocean view from the balcony. The hot tub was a perfect temperature for the cool May evening. On Saturday night, there was a gorgeous wedding on the rooftop, and we enjoyed listening to the music from the hot tub. It wrapped up around 10:30 p.m., allowing for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. The staff was extremely courteous, and the valet service was top-notch. We will absolutely return to this beautiful hotel and highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay—don’t hesitate to book your room!”
