Restaurants near Rancho Santa Fe

“Went there last Thursday with my fiancé. Our first visit since it became Goli. Very few people there that night which made the service very personal. Great staff and the food was excellent. The only item on the menu we didn't care for was the Brussel sprouts appetizer. We mentioned that to our waiter and he agreed that they needed to get it better. One of the owners came by the table to discuss our likes and dislikes with us and comped us with two glasses of wine. Overall very pleased with the experience. We will be back.”

“You can always count on a delicious dinner at this place!! First time I ate here was approximately 10 yrs ago & I keep coming. Their soups have always been so good! Well balanced, nice consistency almost velvety. They have a dish for everyone. Their service is very good. I would only wish they have a wider variety in their wine list. It’s a pricey restaurant, but so worth it!”

“Invita is my families favorite, and go to coffee spot. We love the coffee and food as they are always consistently excellent. And the service is always excellent too. The Owner is extremely nice. We also love the atmosphere. Even on a rainy day like today, we knew the indoor sitting area would be a relaxing place to be, so we could catch up and have fun with the provided games, and reading material.(On Saturday mornings, my sons and I routinely come to get coffee and to view the beautiful cars that are on display.)”

“Situated inside The beautiful Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, is Lilian's. Reservations recommended as we dined for lunch it started out quiet but quickly filled with many locals. Although we had reservations, The hostess was apologetically busy and took awhile to get to us. Once seated, The view from our table overlooks the property and loved the inside and outdoor area of this restaurant. The Monterey Salmon was flavorful, gorgeously plated with a delicious sauce. The creamed spinach and brown butter sides paired well with the salmon. The grilled chicken sandwich was not my favorite. The olive tapenade with the in house made olive bread was overpowering and had to scrape some of it off. The sandwich was lacking and next time will order a different menu item. The meal was completed with beignets and was my favorite part of the meal. The beignets were crispy, with a sugar torched crust but soft & moist inside and included 3 different sauces that paired well with the beignets. Absolutely loved it!”

“This is one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in a long time. Food was fantastic. Service was great really neat little place. We had a post wedding party there and it was a really neat experience. I had the Santa Fe chicken pasta, which was full of flavor and a side salad that was amazing and huge! will definitely go back next time I’m in town.”

“I just saw this place and the owner on iiMPCT MEDIA. The owner was so delightful and friendly. He talked and talked about how he roasts his own beans for his two store and you can tell it is his passion. When you love something the way he does, you know it is going to be perfect or he won't sell it. The shop looks amazing, clean, and nice to be in. Order a cup to try and then buy a pound or two. They sell by the pound and will grind it for you if you dont have a grinder. Hopefully they start selling online soon, but he did say that he mails out coffee to regular buyers all over the country. Call up and ask, maybe they will mail you some too.”

“The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and flavorful dishes. The service was excellent too, making it a delightful visit overall. Can't wait to return!”

“This place was very scrumshise my tongue melted with the flavor of the food here. It is a lil pricey but overall fantastic if you are a real sigma check out this ”

“Lovely neighborhood restaurant. Food quality, taste were just perfect. My only comment would be that I did not think it's appropriate to charge $2 for each small breadstick. Bread is free in all other restaurants I frequent including those more expensive than this!! I ordered the short rib which was a stew and it needed bread to enjoy the gravy.”

“Great place! Food were amazing and the workers love what they do, I feel fantastic having my lunch here. I was alone but I enjoyed every sec of being here. 10/10!”

“The service was off the charts in this beautiful spot. We came for a birthday happy hour and ate a tapas that were all really delicious.I’m a sober girlie and they had tons of mocktails which was fun for me to enjoy with my girls for happy hour!The crab cakes were next level and they were gluten free!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!”

“Really enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant. The wait times were reasonable and the service was great. It is expensive, which I don't mind if the overall experience is good. Some on the standout dishes were the wagyu beef sliders, the beet salad and the angry chicken served with a sunny side up egg. I judge restaurants by the quality of their lasagna and it did not disappoint. Cheesy and full of meat, with a wonderful sauce with a slight kick to it. I tool off one star for the noise. The music was way too loud and didn't fit the vibe. It was difficult to hear the server or one another. Also the cocktails sounded better than they tasted. We will definitely go back, because of the food and service.”

“I have to fight the urge to come here before work everyday because it's soo good. I've gotten a couple of the breakfast croissants and they're really warm and fresh each time and the barista has helped me with suggestions on a drink each time I'm never disappointed”

“Where to start , their queso fundido is absolutely the best with flour tortillas great food , BIG portions! The molcajete you have to try!the mojitos , margaritas are great! So many drinks to choose from. Costumer service is the best. Love that the waiters are always attentive. & we can't forget about how clean & nice the place is.”

“This place is amazing. Exceptional, I’d suggest Michelin-qualifying, three-course prix fixe. I’ve never had a disappointing bite of food here, and the cocktails are great, too.”

“Enjoyed the Pav Bhaji, Paneer tikka, and chole batura! The waiters and owner were super nice and we enjoyed celebrating our friends bday here!(Pani puri was a little overpriced imo so we didn’t get that)”

“Loved the resturant and the employees were amazing, helpful and kind. While I know this is fine dining the portions are very small. My scallops tasted tinny. They are supposed to have a sweetness to them. In my opinion the method of cooking and seasoning was off. The appetizers were just ok. We ordered two veggie sides and they were just ok. If your using local veggies sauces are not needed to make them delicious. I realize I'm picky. The menu just may not be for me. Nothing sparked I have to come back. I wish it did. The staff was amazing. I feel like the restaurant needs a menu restart. Maybe something the chef and the cooks are passionate about serving.”

“Awesome beer! Vibe was very cool! Staff was outstanding. One of our favorite local breweries! They really have the murky/hazy IPA game down! You can tell they use super fresh ingredients in their beer! Can’t wait to go back.”

“Bun Cha Ha Noi was solid, Cha Ca La Vong was good, Com Chay Thit Bo was excellent, Goi Xoai Tom was ok (the dressing was a bit too sweet). Service was decent and friendly.”

“Can't say enough about the food, views, and our server Ryan. He made a great experience fantastic. If only all restaurants had Ryan's.Every little detail was there including soft salted butter for the bread, good patios heaters, and great food and drink suggestions from our server.”

“The storefront is small, but the employee who helped us was very friendly.The serving size for a double scoop was generous, and the quality was good.Try the mint chip! It's a really excellent version of what it is.Vegetarian options: All of the ice cream is vegan.Dietary restrictions: This place is good for anyone eating vegan or gluten-free. It's even Celiac-safe!Parking: Easy parking, though the storefront itself is tucked into the office park.”

“We had the most exceptional experience and I will certainly be back. Giovanni took care of us as if we were part of his family, with generosity and such warmth. His knowledge is impressive!Let alone his passion for food, wine and spirits.Food was excellent, coffee as well.A little hidden gem!”

“Starting out with the service, could not have been any better, A+, very attentive, waiter, guy from Venezuela, drinks came right away pizza ordered came with it about four minutes, and perfect timing was my linguine and Bolognese, excellent, just like my grandmother made, this place is a true treasure 5 o’clock when it opened there were 30 people waiting in line, there’s a reason for that, that’s my new hotspot, love, this place everything about it was top shelfParking: Tons of parking across the street not an issue, just be careful lots of traffic”

“We have been to Addison for multiple special occasions since 2012. The quality of food only go up every time we visited. The food, the service and their attentiveness is top notch. Overall the experience and the food is worth going for.The only down side is that I haven’t been able to find any availability through their online reservation system since they got the Michelin stars.”

“I had just proposed to my now fiance and decided to choose this place for lunch right after it happened. I had fish tacos and she had the fish and chips and they were immaculate. Surprised by the lower price, high quality of this place. Staff is incredibly friendly to you and the vibe in here is great. I love their soda options over the regular Coke and Pepsi products. Awesome place. Thanks for an amazing lunch.”

Highly recommend it for anyone looking for something flavorful and satisfying.On top of the amazing food, the staff at Namino were incredibly friendly. Ali, in particular, was very welcoming and helpful. He definitely added to the positive experience.”

“Husband ordered us Two plates and they were good. The Mac salad was cool, reg basic flavor. The poke compared to a lot of other places was nice & fresh. It does have a little park outside that you can eat at , but being surrounded by business buildings it’s a little meh for me. Past that though , poke quality was good.”

“Came to this spot because it was super close to my hotel. Ordered the cold brown sugar latte. Service was swift. My latte was yummy! Will definitely be back. Thank you.”

“I had the most amazing kimchi fried rice here today. The portion was super generous for the price of $12, and their chicken was so flavorful. I was able to have this dish for about two rounds of leftovers too! The staff at the front were quite warm and the food was made in about 10-15 minutes. The vibe inside is really cute, too. They have hanging plants all throughout, and they have lots of sunlight inside. Can't wait to try something else next time.”
