3-4 stars. I've been in here before for a Tuna Salad Sandwich! I added a few things like lettuce,…read moretomato, mayo, pepperoncini. The sandwich tasted good and they gave a lot in the sandwich. You can choose the bread you want as well. I also grabbed a bag of chips. But these were all separate prices. Too bad there wasn't a special lunch price of sandwich, chips, and a drink. I guess they don't get many customers to make that a thing. I just came by again (December 20th, Saturday) and was informed that the deli portion wasn't open today sadly. So they aren't reliant on that aspect, they should have posted a sign outside to inform people. I just bought some chips for 2.99 -- which is not bad compared to grocery store prices but the bags are smaller and less is given as well so take that into account. At least they accept cash! And drinks are refrigerated so they are nice and cool and refreshing if you were to buy one.

I was in the area for work and this spot was recommended to me. It sits rights on the main road…read morewhich is great, although be careful with parking as the city of Del Mar loves to hand out parking tickets. The deli is within the liquor store and its super easy to order your sandwich. The staff were very friendly and quick. I ordered the Manhattan sandwich and I added bacon. I walked a couple blocks down and enjoyed the sandwich by the beach. It was very flavorful and I was happy with my choice. The price was great and I felt like it was worth it. Drinks within the liquor store are a bit pricey, but thats to be expected in Del Mar. The spot is busy but that doesn't affect their quality or speed, and it seems you can even place an order over the phone. Overall a very nice spot to get lunch at.

OK, it's Friday night and you live in Cardiff or you're visiting Cardiff what are you gonna have…read morefor dinner that everyone is gonna love? You're gonna go into Seaside and go to the counter and say I want the classic Cardiff crack sandwich, which will feed at least two people and maybe a kid beside. Then you gotta go down and lock the chip aisle and get your favorite chips. Maybe a nice bottle of wine check out go home and eat! When we first moved down here, I wasn't a huge fan of Cardiff crack, but I've become to look forward to every chance I get to have it. I know why it's a legend, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop and get it.

This place is our go-to for just about everything whenever we stay in Cardiff. On weekends, their…read morebreakfast platter is a must-have--it comes with French toast, eggs, thick-cut bacon, and a potato pancake. The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.

I specifically asked if the breakfast burrito was made fresh they said yes it's dehydrated eggs…read moreit's horrible. The salsa is definitely from a bottle or a can.

My department (approximately 40 people) stayed at the Courtyard Solano Beach. The Bistro is located…read morewithin the hotel by the pool area. The hotel provided each of us with a voucher for a "Grab and Go" breakfast at The Bistro which was pretty much continental breakfast items from prepackaged muffins, yogurt, bagels, apples, bananas, coffee, and juice. I really had no complaints for the breakfast as the choices were typical for a continental breakfast. However, I'm really downgrading them on the boxed lunches they provided. They were originally going to charge us $12.95 per person for sandwiches and wraps. We thought this was pricey for sandwiches and wraps and were already looking into other alternatives. Our administrative assistant was able to negotiate the price to $10.95 per person, but drinks WOULD NOT be included. We stocked up on drinks and packed them in coolers on the bus so we were okay on the drink situation. Our Choices for our Boxed Lunches were the following: ======================================== Sandwich/Wrap Choices - Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef, or Vegetarian Toppings: Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mayo, Mustard, Cheese Bread: Sourdough, Wheat, Flatbread Salad: House or Caesar Salad Side: Chips or Whole Fresh Fruit We were traveling north and made a stop in San Clemente to eat our lunch. The one positive I can say is that they wrote our names on each boxed lunch. The food was not up to par at all. We were also missing a lunch so two people ended up splitting a sandwich. One of my coworkers ordered a Vegetarian Wrap and it consisted of crumbly flatbread, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Her response was "What is this? A mayonnaise wrap!?" Lettuce and Tomato were from the "topping" choices so where's the rest of the veggies? My other friend ordered a salad and it consisted of wet romaine lettuce. There were no other vegetables or other ingredients in her salad, no tomatoes, cucumber, carrots... nothing. The lettuce didn't even fill up the container. I ordered a Turkey Sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, cheese and mustard. My sandwich was really dry with no flavor. I had to put a lot of mustard on it to be able to eat any of it and ended up throwing most of it away. I also got a side of fruit (which was supposed to be "Whole Fresh Fruit" and it was 1 piece of dried up pineapple, two grapes, and a piece of crunchy honeydew. There was a consensus among most of us that we did not enjoy the lunch at all. (I totally forgot to take any photos.) What they gave us was so not worth $10.95. Last year we also catered boxed lunches and I had a turkey sandwich but in comparison, that sandwich was 100 times better. I'm glad we packed extra snacks on the bus, I ended up filling up on a chocolate chip cookie from Free Birds from the day before, Cheetos, and Arizona green tea since the lunch was a total fail. I really wished we had used another establishment for our lunch, but used The Bistro based purely on convenience. I don't think The Bistro is known for its catering, but if that's not what they do then they shouldn't have told us this was an option and we could have gone somewhere else. 147/100 Reviews for 2015

First I love local businesses and secondly I love small local businesses.Mar Vista is exactly that…read more Great service from Marc who runs it I believe his family started it so then I love that even more. Full of every kind of liquor and wine you'd ever want in a good conversation with Marc every time. Last time I told him my wife only drinks vodka and he said oh do I have a bottle for you? I thought oh no what's next and he brings out this little bottle for $7.99. He said let me know what she thinks so I had to walk in the next day and buy two more it was that good he has now become my go to local spot to buy wine, beer and booze.

They take the time to explain every medication and make sure you feel completely informed. They even went out of their way to help me get a medication that another pharmacy told me was "no longer available." Turns out, it was available--they just didn't want to cover the cost. RSF Pharmacy made sure I got exactly what I needed without hesitation. The whole place runs with the kind of care you feel the moment you walk in -personal, attentive, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!!!!
