Always love dining when we come out west to visit family. Great atmosphere and service. Food is delicious. However, on our most recent trip last night, 3 of us had the duck, which consisted of only two slices of meat each plate. I don’t recall receiving such small portions in the past.

The service is second to none, every detail is thought through. Staff are polite and attentive, but not too much! The food was very disappointing. The star of the show for us was the mussel starter, but the mains were disappointing.

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at A.R. Valentien for lunch and received phenomenal service. Special thanks to the Chef, staff and our waiter Feliciano, for their professional service and friendly demeanor. We’ll be back in the future.

Delicious cuisine in a majestic setting. We ate brunch here and loved the ricotta pancakes and eggplant dish.
Christa
The food was great but the service was very slow. Our reservation was for 7:15 but we didn't finish until 9:45 and that was with having to take the dessert to go.

5 course tasting menu for NYE started out great. Staff was maxed out and we missed an intermezzo course. Service was slow. I had the most disappointing lobster entree that was barely 4 bites . Desserts and earlier courses were great tho . Staff was nice but completely maxed out and seemed overwhelmed. A bit disappointing for a bill (with drinks ) for over $500. We are guests at the hotel and were celebrating NYE for the first time. Fabulous ambience but timing and quality of the entrees need work.
Nancy
Delicious! Worth the price. Service was excellent as well. Lovely to celebrate our anniversary with Torrey Pines Lodge.
Rebecca
We had a wonderful meal last night with outstanding food, as always! Our meal was made even better by the amazing service provided by Kasha. She was so knowledgeable about all the food and wine, but what stood out the most was her personality. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars because she deserves 100! She was fun and funny and matched the energy of our company. It was such a pleasure to meet her and she made an already wonderful evening even more magical. We look forward to dining here again in the New Year!

The atmosphere is one of old world golf club lounge - not surprising. A bit staid - but the outdoor deck looks awesome ! My scallops were wonderful. Wine choice was great. Enjoyed a pear salad. The little gluten free cornbread inspired starter surprise was delicious. We will return. Finally - the service was friendly, knowledgeable, and appropriately attentive.
Absolutely fantastic food and ambiance. Our server Mick had spot-on recommendations for the duck and the scallops. Truly a pleasure and we can't wait to return.

We love the ambience and service but the menu does not offer much for people with food restrictions.
Eryn
The atmosphere is serene and elegant, perfect for a fine-dining evening, and our server was both warm and impressively knowledgeable, especially when it came to wine. As someone with a gluten allergy, I was truly grateful for how thoughtfully the menu is crafted. Most dishes are naturally gluten-free, yet you would never know from the flavors or presentation. I was able to enjoy a full meal without skipping a single course, which is rare and so appreciated.

Delicious food and outstanding service. Very attentive staff. Food presentation was attractive and looked delicious. Dining room is visually stunning.
