50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Rancho Santa Fe

“Excellent food that's beautifully presented in a charming atmosphere. One star off for service. The hostess was rude. She barely greeted us while asking the guest behind us if they wanted their usual table. No smile and barely a word when seating us yet she was very friendly to regular diners. This is a miss for such a lovely local restaurant. Hire a host who treats all guests the same. Loved our server Sid! Easy parking too.“

“Amazingly beautiful grounds, service, accommodations, food! Thank you for a wonderful stay ❤️❤️🎁🎁🌟🌟😊😊“

“Amazing STAFF and food. The General manager was super engaging and grit, staff was attentive even under busy and stressful situations- it’s obvious they have a positive working model. Nice work!“

“super friendly and the coffee was great“

“Ambiance, service, exceptional food (Dover sole, branzino) - simply elegant“

“Fantastic coffee shop! Highly recommend if you want great coffee from great people!“

“One of our special date night places when in the San Diego area. Outdoor seating is great and food is wonderful. Rancho Santa Fe in the evening is quiet and you can just have a nice conversation over dinner.“

“Beautiful space and elegant entry. Host Liz very friendly and tries hard to accommodate the guests' seating preference. Floor manager Lisa welcomes guests and makes sure the restaurant is delivering the food and service in the best way. Alan is an amazing valet and is quick to remember a returning guest. Noteworthy food—shrimp cocktail, wedge , lamb chops, cookie sundae . Fantastic ambience with low lighting and beautiful deco.“

“I like Caffe Positano - coffee is good and convenient. They should get a microwave so croissants and muffins can be warmed up. It would improve the food experience immensely“

“Been wanting to try this place for a while and so glad we made the time to go!

We added our name to the waitlist online when we woke up so we can leisurely get ready and walk our pups. By then, our table was ready!

The food was fantastic. We loved everything that we ordered. Amazing service and a great tiny kitchen with fresh seasonal produce.“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“Hey I just want to say the Luna grill down in Carmel valley was amazing and I want to give a special thank you to Athena for helping me out with my order she was polite and made sure i got everything I needed I recommend anyone that loves Mediterranean food check out this location 2 thumbs up will be back“

“10/10 food is tasty and service is friendly“

“Love Broad st Dough. Many varieties of donuts all made to order.“

“Cute place in Del Mar for coffee and breakfast/lunch.
We sat outside and enjoyed the view and weather.
Breakfast was ok, it was tasty but more like diner food. The hash browns are like a brick.
I wish the Greek omelette had the feta on the inside and not just sprinkled on top“

“I love the coffee here!! 🤤“

“Order ahead if you're in a hurry and avoid the wait (although it's totally worth it). The food speaks for itself as the best spicy fried chicken you can get from a chain restaurant (Cane and Kentucky who??). The staff at the Mira Mesa location are awesome too as they are patient, calm and very helpful with any customizations and recommendations too“

“excelente servicio y súper ricos los platillos“

“Caffe Caffe is a fantastic spot that truly exceeded my expectations! I had the pleasure of trying their latte macchiato and cortado, both of which were superbly crafted—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.

The pastries were the real highlight of my visit. The beef burek was delicious, with a perfect balance of flaky pastry and savory filling. The crème brûlée croissant was hands down the best pastry I’ve ever had—flaky, decadent, and filled with rich custard that was simply divine.

The café itself is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for enjoying a leisurely coffee or catching up with friends. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I can’t wait to return to indulge in more of their offerings!“

“What a great experience.. great beer and an awesome place.. for sure will be backs and will bring friends with me.. cheers 🍻“

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“Awesome place!
They start out by letting you sample each of the gelatos.
And then traditionally you pick two to go in your chosen cup size.
The server was friendly and helpful and made great recommendations.
It was delicious gelato!“

“Excellent pistachio gelato!“

“Exceptional beers! With a wide variety of styles. Their west coast IPA and saison are my favorite. The staffs are very friendly. Stepped in 30 mins before the closing time but still got great service. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“The Salt and Straw at One Paseo in Del Mar was a stop we made on a “girls weekend” in San Diego. We’d like to thank Shahin who greeted us with warmth, enthusiasm and proudly served us samples until we made our final choices. He appeared sincere and listened intently to our own ice cream stories (what better place to share favorite flavors than an ice cream shop!) Shahin gets our award for BEST SERVICE EVER!“

“Outstanding salads! Friendly staff!“

“I had just gotten back to SD after living in Washington and wow I was dying for some proper late night Mexican food at last 😂😂 El Pueblo was an excellent choice!! The California burrito + their salsa bar totally satisfied my craving, so good! I am very excited to try their fish tacos next, can't wait to stop by again 😄 Shout out to Julio, he was extremely helpful and went above and beyond with his service and hospitality!! 10/10 food & vibes“

“The chicken kabob is amazing!“

“Best korean in New Hampshire! authentic korean. this is not korean bbq, though they do have kalbi. my favorite is soondubu soup, stone pot bibimbap, and japchae. I get it without egg and no meat. i enjoy dining in for the stone pot that crisps the rice, but also enjoy take out. everything is wrapped up good and safe. my family manages a severe nut allergy and eat here safely weekly.“

“I had an absolutely delightful Wednesday evening at Misadventure & Co.'s weekly Trivia Night! The vibe was inviting and lighthearted, with a lively host keeping things moving and enthusiastic. The rotating categories and themed rounds kept the questions fresh and fun, and the final wager round added a great sense of drama, without being too intense. Teams of up to six is perfect for friends, coworkers, or even a cozy date night. Come visit. Don't miss live music on Friday and Saturday.“

“Liked our burgers and beers. We got the 8oz so we could try different beers. Wasn’t a fan of the sours though. Fun atmosphere. There were families with little ones, people with pets, people of all ages. Will be back.“

“We hired Criscito Pizza for our engagement party, which hosted around 65 guests, and it was a fantastic choice! The team provided a wonderful selection of pizzas, each one warm, fresh, and delicious. Our guests loved the variety, and there was something for every taste. They went above and beyond with the setup, providing all the necessary flatware, plates, and a beautiful table arrangement that made everything look organized and inviting. Their service was seamless and added so much to our celebration. Highly recommend them for any event!“

“Spent several enjoyable hours at New English Brewery this afternoon. Actually, came here because of wanting to try out “The Craft Taco Truck.” They didn’t disappoint! The guys were friendly, the food was great! Visually appealing and delicious. Highly recommend you seek them out and enjoy an afternoon with them! We’ll definitely be back.“

“We live to combine a home at Annie's canyon down the street with a visit to Claire's before or after.

I joined the wait-list on Google maps as I was driving there. Checked into the hostess stand after I was able to score the last spot in their small parking lot behind the restaurant. There is plenty of parking across the street.

Service was good and we were there at noon for lunch. It was busy but there were still plenty of empty tables out on their back patio. We had a little wait for our food orders and they came out at different times.
We ordered the salmon and peach salad and the veggie sandwich. The salad was very fresh and delicious. The veggie sandwich wasn't a hit so we don't recommend that dish. High stack of fresh vegetables but tasteless.“

“Very clean and inviting ambience. Food flavor is spot on. The savory and refreshing pho broth. The smokey grilled pork with broken rice. I'm a fan! Very reasonably priced. Wonderful customer service. Oh, and definitely try the Thai Tea and Vietnamese Coffee!!“

“This coffee is the best! Hands down! Forget Starbucks! And support local!“

“Never had the food here
But the teas here are amazing. Whenever we are at Mira Mesa, I stop by just to get the teas. Husband loves the hot taro

Parking: Big shopping center

Wheelchair accessibility: There's areas where wheelchairs can come to the walk way“

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

“Great service too! My mouth watered the entire time and was completely satiated and beyond happy with all that we ate! New menu apparently, but I gotta get back before they change it again!“

“Always great coffee and the empanadas are great 🔥🔥“

“This is definitely an amazing place to get some delicious and healthy food from. As my first time eating here I got nothing to say but good things. The food was delicious and was taken to my table very quickly. The staff at the front was very friendly and patient, they took the time to explain the menu to me which was very helpful. I will sure make this a regular place to get food from since the food and the atmosphere here are great.“

“Great food...would definitely recommend this restaurant 😍“

“What a fabulous venue! Location, choices, atmosphere, people. 💯 recommended!“

“My husband and I came here once and it’s now our favorite place to come eat! A woman Trudy who works there is an absolute super star! She is always going above and beyond to make the experience even better, the food is a plus ? don’t miss out on the grandmas Mac and cheese. It’s the best I’ve ever had!“

“best chicken fried steak and gravy this side of El Paso“

“Best Coffe shop in San Diego Is really good quality Coffe and their baristas are very good“

“Awesome staff and great food.🤩“

“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.“

“Perfect little speakeasy! The entrance is hidden behind a bookcase (yes, really), and inside it’s like stepping into another world. Dark wood, leather chairs, soft jazz playing — very atmospheric. The cocktail menu is small but carefully crafted. I had a smoky mezcal drink that was totally unique. Not a place for big crowds, but ideal for a quiet, stylish night out. Felt like a secret spot you want to keep to yourself.“
