- DDylanSeattle / Eastern Washington •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoMy wife and I enjoyed ourselves. We were sat promptly on the patio with the option to sit inside if it was too cold. There were multiple heaters keeping us comfortable. The view of the beach was great. John took great care of us and led us into two amazing dishes, the Hokkaido Scallops and the Seabass. The Seabass was the best I’ve ever had. We split a Ceasar (very good) and had a couple drinks. The bread rolls were underwhelming and I had requested a champagne split on my reservation that we didn’t receive but the overall experience was still great. The only thing we would do different is book earlier to catch the sunset.More infoPoseidonPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Del Mar•4.8

- JJoVIPSan Diego •6 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoPacifica never disappoints. Delicious food, fantastic service, great ambience and view. I’m a vegetarian and even though Pacifica seems to focus on seafood, their vegetarian options have been creative and delicious every time. Extensive wine selection too, with half-price bottles on Thursdays, it’s a great value.More infoPacifica Del MarPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Del Mar•4.5

The servers took such great care of us. Came by the table and offered to refill our tea pots numerous times. Food was very good and freshly prepared. Looking forward to returning. Highly recommend.More infoLobby Lounge at Fairmont Grand Del MarPrice: Moderate• Californian• Carmel Valley•4.3
