“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.“

“After playing pickleball for a few hours we were ready for a drink. It was a little late and these guys were open a little later so we went here. They have a great menu, I had the 3 Citrus Gose, which won gold at the Great American Beer Festival, and it definitely deserved it! He went for the Blackberry Hibiscus Sour and that was also phenomenal. They have food out back so we had a pepperoni pizza and it was just a great way to end the evening. Larry was lots of fun to talk to, from beer to baseball to music he has stories. Definitely a great place to hang out if you're in the area!“

The prices are outrageously high, I understand that this is 2025 and there are some increases but I only went here one time after I learned a California burrito was nearly 17 dollars. Dang it was good though.“

“I ordered sashimi at the sushi bar for lunch also had 2 piece Ikura (salmon roe) and a soft shell crab appetizer. Fish was very fresh it was obvious since they were still breaking it down in front of me. 2 guys on the sushi bar 3 in the back and one waitress. I was probably 2nd customer and only person at the bar. I got a weird look from waitress when I asked for the bar and she had to ask one of the guys if it was ok. I soon realized that it was not a real sushi bar after I looked at the menu and realized that they did not have sashimi on the menu.
When I go to a new place I usually order sashimi before I look at a menu because I know what I want.
The place filled up quick and the one waitress was running hard but the guys at the bar took care of me. Fresh fish good beer and sake I was very happy.
Music was very loud and irritating some kind of pop but the guys had no problem turning it down (they did not like it either).
I found it strange that they were pre-cutting the fish into slices but I guess if you are doing production that makes sense, I just have never seen it.
I read a lot of the reviews and part of the problem is people going to a sushi bar for something other than sushi. On the other hand if a restaurant is going to offer it it should be good.

Spent $120 after tip but it was at the coast on pch so location and all. Not to much more than my normal spot maybe $20 or so.

I was happy with my dining experience.“

“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!“
