38 Best Wine Bars near Del Mar

“This place is beautiful. A wonderful atmosphere and great decor, we had a great view with lunch! We had great drinks and our appetizer was basically a charcuterie board, which was good. A little mediocre for the price but it looked beautiful! I had the fish and chips which was melt in your mouth delicious and my fiance had the short rib pastrami sandwich and she said it was delicious. Overall a good view with good food!“

“parpedelle and short rib, pizza, cocktails“

“I shouldn't talk about this, I shouldn't rate this but I can't hold back...Rodrigo is a legend behind the bar. The drinks are top tier. If you get the chance to come here, it's so worth it. Del Mar finally has a speakeasy!“

“Celebrated our 20th Anniversary. Been celebrating our anniversary here for the past 7-8 years. Great food, outstanding service and ambiance was superb. Steak was perfectly made, Au Gratin potatoes deliciously as always and the dessert was a great ending to a fabulous meal. The service staff was attentive and anticipated our needs and was ready when we had a request. Thank you Ruth Chris Del Mar, we will be back before our 21st anniversary.“

“Really nice variety on their dinner menu.... Salads, small plates/appetizers, pasta to fish to steak, pork chops, etc... Their wine list is also nice... So you should be able to find something to pair with your dinner. If not, try a mocktail, cocktail or beer. We sat on their upstairs patio where we could sort of watch the sunset over the water. Yes, there were buildings and trees in our sightlines but still nice. Service was very good considering they were slammed. Will definitely be back again.“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“I've been going for about a year now. I have a yoga membership and then join the restaurant probably about once a month or so. I love the yoga classes, there is a great variety with knowledgeable instructors. The food is amazing as well along with it being locally owned. Overall a fantastic addition to Clairemont, highly recommend!“

“Been coming here for years. As a local born and raised in Encinitas, there is no better restaurant for drinks and great food that has withstood the times. As for the service from the staff it has always been exceptional. Most recently Saul has always taken care of me with recommendations on drinks and food. They have just recently changed their menu so definitely something to check out.“

“We love our neighborhood go to spot for excellent wine and beer choices and perfect bistro food: salads, small plates, flat breads and out of this world cheese boards. Lucky to have so close and with such friendly staff!“

“Had ordered Salad and pizza’s all were fantastic . Server was awesome !!!! We love your pie’s Buona 😍😍😍😍“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Candor in La Jolla, and it's safe to say that I found a hidden gem. Chef Giuseppe's culinary skills are truly impressive. The arancini were crispy and packed with flavor, while the short ribs were incredibly tender and delicious. The fisherman stew was a delightful medley of fresh seafood, and even the burger exceeded my expectations. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the overall relaxed and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience in La Jolla, Candor is definitely worth a visit.“

“Our outdoor lunch was wonderful on a beautiful San Diego day. I had the vineyard chicken which was outstanding and my friend had the bunless hamburger and we were extremely pleased with our selections. I also got a filet mignon for my hubby (second time) to go and he loved it. Seasons 52 serves excellent food and helps me rein in on calories. Definitely a win/win!!“

“Rosinas is consistently excellent authentic Italian food. The only food downside ( which is why I gave Food a 4 out of 5 rating), is their Ceaser salad...it is consistently bland, really watery, and tasteless...such an unpleasant surprise given that ALL of the other salads are so delicious, and ALL of the other food is delicious. Rosina, PLEASE update the Ceaser salad..it is really awful.“

“Absolutely delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere! This place is wonderful“

“We love this restaurant.. we happened upon it years ago and every time we are in LaJolla we dine there not once but twice ! We brought our kids and grandkids here for one of our anniversaries …Amazing dishes , great wine , best gelato , and a delightful owner who is so welcoming and full of great stories and information …sure wish this was in Illinois !!!!“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“Great vibes everyone is super friendly loved the service! 🍷😀“

“I'm so glad we added this place to our list of things to do while visiting San Diego from Kansas! Absolutely fantastic from the food, to the staff, to the show! Colby was our waiter, and was incredible, we had a wonderful night! We will definitely return!“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“Good food, pet friendly if you are in the area stop by“

“Lovely spot with a broad menu and nice wine list...food was decent but not great, and service lacking (tho' this was likely a function of the dude that attended to us and not representative of the overall)...space is cheerful and has a comfortable neighborhood vibe...will definitely try it again“

“Great food. Great wine. Great servers. Dog friendly. Friendly dogs. Friendly dog owners.“

“We had my birthday celebration at The Godfather and their private room is ideal for large parties. The food was delicious and the service superb! A huge thank you to Salvatore Ercolano, the new Godfather! He was the perfect host for our event and made sure that everything was perfect!“

“First visit. We will be back !!

Parking: We were there early, bit limited parking if later. Shared lot with other businesses in plaza

Kid-friendliness: Good

Wheelchair accessibility: Good“

“Everything was perfect! Waiter was amazing! The food was absolutely incredible!“

“Visited for a special event dinner with Epoch winery from Paso Robles. The owner of the store was exceedingly gracious and friendly and the event was a great success. The store has a pretty wide range of wine offerings as well as local craft beers, with several exclusive/harder to get wines as well as more mainstream options. The store is admittedly "Paso-centric" in their overall portfolio, but the prices are consistent with what you would see at the wineries. They also have cheeses for sale at the front counter.“

“The pizzas are really good with decent variety of vegetarian options, thin crust, and perfectly cooked each time. The pastas on the other hand are good but not great.

The service however is excellent with attentive staff who are knowledgeable of the menu and make excellent recommendations.

Would definitely be back. The best part is they also deliver to the breweries on the sky deck!“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“What an amazingly beautiful experience! We had Edgar as our waiter and he was attentive and accommodating. Made great suggestions and even brought out a birthday celebration for all of us to share for my sisters birthday! Between the wedding about to start in the courtyard and the ocean breeze it was very memorable!“

“Let me say the food and service was great!
Our server Kay knows the menu and had great recommendations. Capellini alla checca was outstanding. Added blackened chicken and made the dish even better.
The Arden pizza was like a steak dinner on pizza. Outstanding!!
Definitely be putting this place on the recall roster.
Tables could use some work, lol“

“Nice change of pace and it was easy to get A table outside during covid.“

“Love Reds. I have Ben going for over 20 years and get their one of their many steaks, most of the time and ,done medium rare!“
