“My wife and I had a nice dinner at The Fish Market while visiting Solana Beach.“

“This was our first time eating Peruvian The food was tasty, fresh and great portions.“

“GREAT GREAT FOOD. Thank you 😊“

“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!“

“The best experience! Professional, yet very friendly staff. The crab cake is what always brings me back. The best anywhere! Drinks were perfect too! I love the Golden Hour cocktail! NY Bone-In steak is usually amazing,, but a little tough this time. Hubby was happy so that's what matters. You still can't find a better streak anywhere else. The view! Spectacular! Big blue ocean, sandy shores, and reflections of the sunset. Worth every dollar!“

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

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

“Excellent food and cocktails! Had amazing service from James and Jessica, made my friends birthday extra special. Kudos!“

“Great food and even better service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. What really stood out, though, was the service, Mel, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and genuinely happy with our experience. You can tell they care about both the food and the customers. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot.“

“Great view, service and breakfast!“

“JTB. EXELENTE. DEL MAR A SUMESA“

“It’s our annual place to be every August for the last 17 years: celebrating 50 years of marriage! The food, service and atmosphere right on the beach is heavenly. Our bartender Steve congratulated us and we talked for a short time. Everyone is so friendly, can’t beat the quality of their meals ! We drive out from Phoenix to have their specialty. Well worth the ride❤️❤️❤️“

“An absolutely amazing dining experience! Went at high tide (not King Tide) but still special having the waves come up to our window! It was our 21st wedding anniversary and they did everything to make it special. Special table right on the window with waves up to our window. Custom personalized menu and glass of champagne to toast. Stefano was so classy and treated us like royalty. No rush at all and excellent service all night. There were a few mistakes made like timing and steak a little undercooked but they were so apologetic and went way above and beyond service to correct and make things right (way more than necessary) The lobster bisque was probably best ever and our Poached Butter lobster and Waygu Ribeye were spectacular. Everything was fantastic and how they took care of us over very minor mistakes, was stellar! We will be back for other special occasions and highly recommend for special dining experience.“

“Of the best lobster roll outside. Lobster West in La Jolla serves up a buttery, packed-to-the-brim roll that's pure happiness. It's my go-to spot in San Diego for a seafood fix. Every bite is perfection, and the staff is super friendly. You can't beat it“

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

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

“My favorite restaurant of boiling crab 🦀 🥵“

“I thought the service was very friendly. The bowls were reasonably priced. There is a large selection of proteins and other items for the bowls. Also, the service is fast.“

“The food was good, but nothing really stood out. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared well, but it wasn’t especially memorable. The atmosphere was nice and the restaurant was clean.

One thing that could be improved is the service. Even though the restaurant wasn’t busy, it took quite a while before someone came to our table.

Overall, it’s a good place if you’re in the area, but there are a few things that could make the experience better.“

“Just had a wonderful dinner for 4 outside on the patio. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. Food was delicious. Loved the hamachi app, Caesar salad, lobster spaghetti, halibut, and the Brussel sprouts. Service was excellent. Very pricey but wonderful for a special occasion.“

“Having driven past this restaurant for years, my wife and I had dinner there today.
I had fish and chips (3pcs). Excellent!. Crispy breading, crispy fries, and the fish was flaky and tender. 3 pieces was a lot of fish. I've paid 50% more at fancy restaurants for fair fish and chips.
My wife had ahi bowl. Lightly seared, nicely seasoned on a bed of salad. She ate all of it, about 5 oz.
Nice relaxed, casual atmosphere.“

“The sushi is amazing...baked salmon roll and Philly rolls are my go to!“

“Loved this place! The food was amazing!!! Everything we ordered was delicious, but my favorite was definitely the tuna tostadas. And the churros for dessert were SO good. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience was amazing. 100% recommend!“

“We were a party of five at your Le Mesa location on 3/22/26 and I believe our server's name was Diana. Our experience was absolutely fantastic! The food was superb, the facility was spotless and every member of the staff that interacted with was professional, helpful and friendly. Diana was fantastic! She has the perfect balance of friendly efficiency, light humor to match our personalities and spot on timing to check in with us. We can't wait to visit again! Thank you.“

“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!“

“It actually did not start off on a good note. Once we receded. We were next to a family with two horrible parents that let both their children scream and bang on plates the entire time. Not athe restaurants fault but the place should not be for children although I know it's resort so it has to be. Maybe they should put them in the back room or something . I got up after 15 minutes of being unable to take it anymore , talked to our amazing waiter Alex and he immediately moved us to the beautiful outside deck . From that point on everything was amazing, the service, the view and most of all the food. Alex was a great waiter, even singing some amazing ballads for us. He even remembered my wife when she was there a few months back. We will be back in 2 months and will definitely be dining there again.“

“This is an exceptional restaurant that you must visit. I took a friend who frequently eats at Michelin rated restaurants and she could not believe how good the food was. The margaritas were incredible and I can highly recommend the enchiladas vegetale or anything else in that green sauce. Very light, tasty, and satisfying with everything cooked to perfection. Great salsa too. Staff was very attentive and friendly.“

“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“

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

“South of Nick's, located in One Paseo, is a great restaurant with a great selection of Mexican cuisine. The delicious, not-overly-salty tortilla chips are served with beans and mild and hot salsas. I highly recommend ordering the fresh guacamole for the table to share; it's a great complement to the chips. It was difficult to choose an entree, but I went with the El Vaquero. The steak was cooked perfectly, with the enchilada being the best I've had in San Diego. It also came with filet taquitos, guac, and refried beans, all of which were wonderful. I highly recommend South of Nick's for your next dinner out, regardless of your party size.“

“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 �“

“You are a restaurant that cooks from the heart, and I really enjoy your cooking and service.“

“Good portion and fresh food. I think their Pokeland sauce changed because it used to be better. Still a great place.“

“It is a beautiful location with amazing food and service 🤗👏“

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

“We were celebrating my fiancés birthday and our server Molly was delightful. All of her recommendations were spot on. We don’t drink and she suggested the best tasting mocktails. The entrees and dessert were absolutely delicious. The view over looking the cove was romantic. Overall Molly made this an unforgettable experience and we will definitely be coming back.“

“Enjoyed it totally! 2 nd time and will go back again. Love the food and the menu“

“Friendly and courteous staff, high quality and delicious food! Love their drinks and desserts as well. The menu is not overwhelming for me to choose! Lovely atmosphere!“

“Outstanding restaurant! Great food, the shrimp cocktail is amazing and the taquitos are perfect. The bartender Adam is a real pro and makes perfect drinks and has a phenomenal positive attitude. I highly recommend this bar and restaurant if you like great drinks, great food, and amazing service!“

“Carne asada tacos were fire and the margaritas were really good.“

“Best service I ever received at a steakhouse. They really set the standards. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted phenomenal. Our server JP was awesome! Definitely would come here again! Highly recommend for birthdays or if you really want to wow your date!“

“Absolutely loved DelSushi! The sushi was fresh, delicious, and the portions were very generous. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and was prepared with care. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. It’s also the perfect option to grab some sushi and enjoy it at the Torrey Pines cliffs with an incredible ocean view. Great quality, great value, and excellent service. Definitely a hidden gem and a place I would highly recommend. We will definitely be coming back!“
