“Overall we had a great experience here. We went on a Sunday Evening. We didn't realize the wait would be so long so we didn't get onto the online waitlist until 5:30 which meant our reservation was an hour to an hour and 15mins later. We left a little late and they called us before we got there so we were dropped from the wait list. The good news was once we got there they were accommodating and put us back on the wait list with a short wait. Once there, the wait staff was Extremely attentive, professional and friendly. Food came out reasonably quick. The prices for king crab were $60/lb (too high for us) so we got snow crab for half that ($30/lb) and a seafood boil where you can pick and choose what goes into it (I love that!). Butcher block paper is on the table and you can choose to eat directly off the table which is super fun and my kids absolutely loved it. I only wish they had paper towels instead of napkins at the tables because it's messy. Overall it was super fun and we had a good experience.“

“Great view, service and breakfast!“

“Great food - super fresh fish & casual vibe. Prices were reasonable & I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Enjoy!“

“Butter roll perfection warm, soft, and buttery enough to make you question every other sandwich you’ve ever had. The lobster? Fresh, sweet. I did try adding extra lobster, but honestly, it didn’t change my life enough to justify the price save that cash for dessert or another roll.

The place is tiny, with just a few outdoor tables, but you’re surrounded by adorable little shops, so it’s basically like eating luxury seafood in a postcard. The vibe is super chill and informal the kind of place where you can wear flip flops, sip your drink, and watch people browse stuff they don’t need.

Easily one of the best lobster rolls I’ve ever had.“

“Restaurant is beautiful and clean. Food is priced right, presented nicely and delicious!“

“Excellent seafood and good portions“

“I had the sea bass with Himalayan salt- a favorite of mine- the green beans and splurged (diet wise) for the mashed potatoes instead of a salad. Everything was delicious. My lunch partner had fish tacos which he seemed to inhale. The server was very attentive.“

“Located on the beautiful property of Park Hyatt Aviara Golf Course over looking the lagoon with its own parking lot.

We made reservations for lunch and sat on the patio admiring the golf players, beautiful weather and scenery.

This is a casual steakhouse by Chef Richard Blais but we were fixated on the prix fixe menu. Glad we had an appetite because the portions were huge.

First course:
Beet & pear salad: sweet beets and pear paired with frisée greens. Sprinkled with a middle eastern spice, zaa’tar that I thought was granola. Underneath was a caramelized yogurt sauce and topped with mint leaves. Truly a refreshing salad.

Caesar salad: Romaine lettuce, kale, artichokes and croissant croutons. The dressing was well balanced, not overly garlicky or creamy. The croutons stole the show.

Second course:
Blackened king salmon: Perfectly seared creating a crispy flavorful seasoned skin with moist interior. The roasted carrots were hard and too tough. Needed to be roasted longer. The walnut raisin chutney sauce tied the dish together.

Bucatini pasta: This was a subtle garlic butter sauce with baby tomatoes, broccolini, kale sprouts, sprinkled with basil herb bread crumbs. This dish was surprisingly light and fluffy, it wasn’t too heavy. That’s when you know it’s high quality pasta.

Third course:
Raspberry vanilla cheesecake: No bake, no crust, instead it was with rice crispy and oat crumble with raspberry sauce. I’m not a cheesecake fan so this wasn’t for me. It was dense.

Yuzu lemon pot de crème: This tasted like limoncello/key lime pie flavor. Very tasty, citrusy with a bit of sweet and sour.

We enjoyed every single dish. I would have liked the roasted carrots to be softer and I would have ordered chocolate s’more cake not cheesecake. Otherwise, bravo. I would come back for dinner.“

“our waiter was amazing. food was top notch had crab stuffed shrimp with jalapeño cheese sauce. Get it!!“

“Great food - super fresh fish & casual vibe. Prices were reasonable & I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Enjoy!“

“This is a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy each other’s company. The food is nice and delicious. I had the wagu and eggs. The meat was seasoned to perfection deliciousness but a little over cooked. The potatoes were very yummy. It is worth the visit and prices are reasonable as well.“

“Dog friendly with outside seating. We ordered two EPIC hot lobster rolls (Connecticut style, warm with butter) and although they were delicious, for the EPIC PRICE OF $39 PER ROLL, it was very skimpy compared to what you get for that price in New England. They stack it high in the middle and don’t fill the bun to the ends to make it look super full. It’s not. The New England clam chowder was great though.“

“Great food and awesome service“

“Fish District is our favorite when we’re not cooking at home. The fish is consistently excellent—fresh, well-cooked, and fantastic every single time. The service is fast and friendly, with no fuss, which I appreciate. Located in a regular strip mall, it has the usual fast-food atmosphere—nothing extravagant, but it gets the job done. A reliable choice for a quick meal that satisfies!“

“I'd work here if they paid me in poke bowls. So good. Other places the fish is questionable but this place always has a great taste and seems fresh! Oh and since you got rid of your yummy fountain and now just have standard Pepsi $2+ is a little much for a little cup of a Pepsi product .... I miss the old options that were worth the money �“

“We met friends for dinner and what an amazing experience it was! Each course was delicious and the presentation was second to none. The service was genuine and every staff member was attentive and made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back!“

“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 food and service were outstanding! The breakfast potatoes were particularly exceptional. I also had dinner there once and enjoyed the wings, which were very good. All the servers were friendly and pleasant. I would expect nothing less from a Hilton restaurant.“

“Great food and very pleasant atmosphere, definitely recommend.“

“Extremely clean and generous! Came in for the first time for my lunch break and they did not disappoint. The gentleman at the front served me and gave great recommendations. The pic is me half way through the bowl but the presentation was great too. Would come back again.“

“What a great birthday celebration at Season's 52. We started with a Lump Carb & Shrimp stuffed Mushrooms appetizer. Our entrée was the Sesame Grilled Salmon both were delicious!!! Our Vodka Martinis hit the spot followed by a bithday dessert, Key Lime pie. Thank you to our great Server, Kai, Season's needs to make copies of him because he is one of the best!“

“It is a fun place to be! variety of foods available.“

“Absolutely amazing cuisine! Exceptional customer service! I would come again!“

“We had an amazing stay at L'Auberge Del Mar. The hotel was stunning—beautifully updated with modern finishes and stylish furnishings. Our room was exceptional, featuring an incredibly comfortable bed, luxurious bedding, a marble bathroom, and a breathtaking ocean view from the balcony. The hot tub was a perfect temperature for the cool May evening. On Saturday night, there was a gorgeous wedding on the rooftop, and we enjoyed listening to the music from the hot tub. It wrapped up around 10:30 p.m., allowing for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep. The staff was extremely courteous, and the valet service was top-notch. We will absolutely return to this beautiful hotel and highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay—don’t hesitate to book your room!“

“We celebrated my boyfriends dinner here and they truly made it a very unique and special day! Our server, Benjamin, was amazing! From offering great wine recommendations to food recommendations, we enjoyed our night with spectacular food and service. He was very attentive and helpful when it came to picking the right options of food for us.

This restaurant goes above and beyond to showcase their hospitality to guests. From the time you check in to the time you walk out, you experience great service and attention. From the small things such as resetting our table to cleaning after every dish and checking in on us, to serving delicious food, this restaurant is one I’d recommend to friends and family over and over again! Truly a special occasion setting.“
