California English Reviews
We live in Philly & love Richard Blais so when visiting my brother in San Diego we always have to check out any new spots by Chef Blais. We were so happy our trip last week included California English! Right away the decor & atmosphere draw you in, being both chic & comfortable. Our server was absolutely fantastic & the food could not have been better. Try the ricotta toast, fish & chips & sticky toffee & date cake, you won’t be disappointed!
The open and bright space made the ambiance very welcoming & the staff were warmth as they received our group. The food was amazingly good & delicious.
AmazIng service and wonderful place for a girls night out!

California English is a charming spot suitable for lunch or casual meetings, featuring a relaxed atmosphere with muted greens and plenty of natural light. The service is attentive, with staff providing friendly and helpful assistance. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious options, including the "Fog" libation, crispy fish tacos, and fish n chips. The fish tacos include a large piece of cod with a crispy coating, although the slaw could have more dressing. The fish and chips are served with big potato spears, appealing to those who enjoy a hearty chip. Customers also enjoy the afternoon Tea experience, which provides a perfect blend of modern atmosphere and old tradition. Each item on the tea tower has its own unique flavor, from salty to sweet, with favorites like the barbecue chicken sandwich with mango and the chocolate raisin scone with jam and cream. The restaurant also features a beautiful interior decorated with plants and a mint green color palette, making it a great place for a special occasion or a taste of British lunch traditions. With indoor and outdoor seating, it is dog-friendly and looks perfect for events. On weekends, there is live music that adds to the lively and inviting vibe. Many customers praise the food, especially the fish and chips, which they find so good they plan to return just for them. The staff is consistently attentive and professional, making every visit enjoyable. Overall, California English offers a lovely environment, excellent food, and great service for a memorable experience.
