“Hey Solana Beach Travelers and Explorers..Looking for a Indoor/Outdoor Brunch Location that serves up some delicious Food? Friendly Service? And an inviting atmosphere? Then look no further than T's Cafe!

The French toast looked like it was out of Dream. I had the Chilaquiles. I love the Color of the chips and the Taste of the meat. I wish it was a little larger for the price. Yet, it was still good. The Biscuits and gravy were not our cup of tea. But everything else was wonderful.

What made our visit over the top was the very personal and excellent customer service given to us by our Waiter Uziel. He was very friendly and attended to us often. Even when I discovered a foreign object in my plate, he apologized for the error and took care of it promptly. Additionally he spoke very fluent English and Spanish! Also a big thanks to Jessica and the rest of the team for the Killer service!

Dont miss out, T's has the Vibes and the goods you are all looking for! Cheers and GOD BLESS!“

“Solana Beach Kitchen was amazing. Each dish was spectacular. Loved the Surf & Turf Nachos, the Calamari was the best I have ever had. The Mac n Cheese with brisket was a recommendation from the fabulous Tracy and it was incredibly delicious. Everything was so good that we returned the next night!! Highly recommend SB Kitchen.“

“Upscale dining by Chef Jeffrey Strauss. We came for restaurant week ($70 + $45). The menu being offered is slightly different than the daily regular menu offering beef, pork, fish, duck and vegetarian.

We ordered:

Complimentary assorted bread basket came out first with mini corn muffins, baguette and a seeded bread that was my favorite.

Lobster ravioli (also on regular menu) - 1 giant lobster filled ravioli with small mushrooms and scallops in a ginger soy mushroom sauce

Skipped the second appetizer and Supplemented for the Angel hair pasta with shaved truffles for $45. You can add on as a third dish for $65. This was buttery rich goodness.

Korean marinated flat iron steak - sliced in 7 pieces over fried rice. Although rice was good, sadly, we compared it to Trader Joe tv dinner.

Pork schnitzel - I have to say, this was better than the ones I had in Germany and Austria because it was thinner, wasn’t dry and had flavor (meaning salt). The potatoes balanced out the salty flavors.

Warm chocolate caramel cake (also on regular menu) - served with berries and vanilla gelato. Found this to be same as other places.

Seasonal fig tart - puff pastry with mascarpone filling, honey and few slices of fig.

Restaurant week has gotten more pricy over the years with Pampalmousse on the higher end of $70, I expected more. I would have loved to see more of their regular menu items featured on the RW menu and more French inspired.

Overall, plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating. We had a wonderful experience. Food was well prepared. Truffle pasta was our favorite. Our drinks were strong. I got the Sippin’ on Lychee with gin, lychee liquor and simple syrup.“

“Amazing staff, excellent food and great vibes overall. Wings and queso fundido are smackin’ good and they have the best fish n chips! 😋“

“I had such a great experience at Rustic Root! The atmosphere was warm, lively, and the perfect mix of upscale and relaxed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the happy hour menu was honestly fantastic — great variety, great portions, and great prices.

A special shout-out to Rob, the bartender, who was incredibly attentive the entire time. He anticipated what we needed before we even asked, checked in without being intrusive, and made amazing recommendations. His service truly made the night even better.

If you’re looking for a spot with great vibes, amazing drinks, and standout service, Rustic Root is definitely worth it!“

“Great venue and Great service“

“I work in this shopping center and needed a quick healthy snack to keep me going between treating my patients, and this cute smoothie spot was perfect. I got the keto smoothie with cacao and berries, and added extra pea protein. It was delicious (see photo), healthy, and the service was quick and friendly. I couldn’t decide between two smoothies and the gal behind the counter gave the best recommendation - Will definitely be coming back!“

“I recently dined at The Henry for the first time with another guest. From start to finish an elegant and unpretentious experience. The Henry had come highly recommended and did not disappoint. We were greeted warmly and although we were slightly ahead of our reservation time, we were accommodated graciously. Once seated, we were greeted by our server. Julia who provided excellent customer service throughout our dinner. Menu options were diverse but offered great choices. I can tell you the Scottish Salmon was outstanding and our salads fresh and lightly dressed. I subtracted 1 star for ambience because the acoustics when busy were quite noisy. If you're looking for an upscale dining option, treat yourself to The Henry. Can't wait to return!“
