34 Best Wine Bars near Solana Beach

“Love Reds. I have Ben going for over 20 years and get their one of their many steaks, most of the time and ,done medium rare!“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, great service!“

“Been coming here for years. As a local born and raised in Encinitas, there is no better restaurant for drinks and great food that has withstood the times. As for the service from the staff it has always been exceptional. Most recently Saul has always taken care of me with recommendations on drinks and food. They have just recently changed their menu so definitely something to check out.“

“We love our neighborhood go to spot for excellent wine and beer choices and perfect bistro food: salads, small plates, flat breads and out of this world cheese boards. Lucky to have so close and with such friendly staff!“

“Wide selections of wine. If you have a question ask Jim. Cheers!🍷“

“We attended the 20th annual Celebrate the Craft. It was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the event. The waitstaff at the bar was friendly and provided excellent service.“

“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!“

“Great food. Fantastic spot inside UTC“

“Had ordered Salad and pizza’s all were fantastic . Server was awesome !!!! We love your pie’s Buona 😍😍😍😍“

“We've eaten at seasons 52 multiple times since they opened . Every time has been consistent with food, quality, service and menu options. We ate outside. Yesterday was a lovely day and our server Nick was knowledgeable, attentive, and personable. Our guest was 95 yrs old and they catered to his every need . I still think the quality of the food, the portion size, and overall experience is probably the best value in town. There's so many options on their menu and every one of them is thoughtfully prepared. We keep coming back time and time again. Fabulous restaurant. Healthy and friendly.“

“Rosinas is consistently excellent authentic Italian food. The only food downside ( which is why I gave Food a 4 out of 5 rating), is their Ceaser salad...it is consistently bland, really watery, and tasteless...such an unpleasant surprise given that ALL of the other salads are so delicious, and ALL of the other food is delicious. Rosina, PLEASE update the Ceaser salad..it is really awful.“

“Good food, pet friendly if you are in the area stop by“

“Great vibes everyone is super friendly loved the service! 🍷😀“

“We love this restaurant.. we happened upon it years ago and every time we are in LaJolla we dine there not once but twice ! We brought our kids and grandkids here for one of our anniversaries …Amazing dishes , great wine , best gelato , and a delightful owner who is so welcoming and full of great stories and information …sure wish this was in Illinois !!!!“

“This place has excellent food and wine. Super cool staff. I’ve been before and we’ll be back again. Killer outdoor spot to eat also. I highly recommend it.“

“My husband and I have been here for the very first time and we immediately fell in love with this place. The staff is amazing, they know how to treat you and make you feel at home. Alice is very passionate about her job and we loved her homemade desserts sooo much. A special mention to Michele, a very young yet extremely professional waiter, who contributed to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere! As Italian, I can say it's hard to find place such Alice's where you feel so vividly the warm of our country. We will definitely come back!“

“Food was excellent and service was great!!,..will be back!“

“To start we waited awhile for a waiter. Then Simone, appeared and took such great care of us the rest of the night. The halibut, veal piccatta and spinach salad were all fresh, delicious and prepared perfectly. Highly recommend Osteria Romantica“

“We were a little worried when the owners changed hands and thought, oh no, our little tavern isn't going to be the same!

Joke's on us! We LOVE it!! New owners, new atmosphere, better food, same great service!!
The menu has been updated with new and better offerings! Happy hour, LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH specials!!

It's a great place to watch games or bring kids. We are lucky to have a great place nearby and drop in knowing the food is good as is the service!“

Absolutely Exceptional – A Must-Visit in Del Mar

Monarch Ocean Pub exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and well taken care of. The open-air setting overlooking the street gives the perfect mix of energy and ease — you feel part of the buzz of Del Mar while enjoying a relaxed, elegant meal.

Our server, Bo, was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and genuinely delightful to talk with (we even discovered she went to Indiana University, which made it feel like a small-world connection!).

Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor — from the fresh oysters and crisp Caesar salad to the soft Parker House rolls, the shrimp and lobster sliders, and the finale of melt-in-your-mouth Hawaiian donuts. Each bite was perfection.

Monarch doesn’t just serve food — they create an experience. It was the highlight of our trip and a place we’ll be talking about for a long time.“

“I shouldn't talk about this, I shouldn't rate this but I can't hold back...Rodrigo is a legend behind the bar. The drinks are top tier. If you get the chance to come here, it's so worth it. Del Mar finally has a speakeasy!“

“Everything was perfect! Waiter was amazing! The food was absolutely incredible!“

“Visited for a special event dinner with Epoch winery from Paso Robles. The owner of the store was exceedingly gracious and friendly and the event was a great success. The store has a pretty wide range of wine offerings as well as local craft beers, with several exclusive/harder to get wines as well as more mainstream options. The store is admittedly "Paso-centric" in their overall portfolio, but the prices are consistent with what you would see at the wineries. They also have cheeses for sale at the front counter.“

“Nice change of pace and it was easy to get A table outside during covid.“

“The pizzas are really good with decent variety of vegetarian options, thin crust, and perfectly cooked each time. The pastas on the other hand are good but not great.

The service however is excellent with attentive staff who are knowledgeable of the menu and make excellent recommendations.

Would definitely be back. The best part is they also deliver to the breweries on the sky deck!“

“Great bar for n the pool area. Went for the music in the afternoon which was twice a week. Not sure about the exact dates or times so ask. We went to the owners reception where we had free wine and cheese and salami snacks. It was a little chilly but they had fire pits to warm you up.“

“The food was outstanding, and the service was impeccable. The only bummer was that we were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday (which they knew in advance), and they put us in some weird side room. It seemed like a strange accessory room, almost like an afterthought to the rest of the restaurant, which took away from the experience.“

“What an amazingly beautiful experience! We had Edgar as our waiter and he was attentive and accommodating. Made great suggestions and even brought out a birthday celebration for all of us to share for my sisters birthday! Between the wedding about to start in the courtyard and the ocean breeze it was very memorable!“

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

“parpedelle and short rib, pizza, cocktails“

“Really nice variety on their dinner menu.... Salads, small plates/appetizers, pasta to fish to steak, pork chops, etc... Their wine list is also nice... So you should be able to find something to pair with your dinner. If not, try a mocktail, cocktail or beer. We sat on their upstairs patio where we could sort of watch the sunset over the water. Yes, there were buildings and trees in our sightlines but still nice. Service was very good considering they were slammed. Will definitely be back again.“

“Let me say the food and service was great!
Our server Kay knows the menu and had great recommendations. Capellini alla checca was outstanding. Added blackened chicken and made the dish even better.
The Arden pizza was like a steak dinner on pizza. Outstanding!!
Definitely be putting this place on the recall roster.
Tables could use some work, lol“
