You can't go wrong with their smash burger Wednesday! For $9 you can choose either fries or salad…read more The beef patty was juicy and the fries were nice and crispy. I also like their salads. It is pretty good portion for lunch even without meat. There were utensils and condiments at the counter. Picking up is easy. The staffs at the counter were very nice also. The restaurant itself is very relaxing. It's got the modern decorations. It's nice to sit and enjoy some quality time with friends.

The Clique Hospitality Group has opened another concept of "The Kitchen" with this one being…read morelocated at the new Torrey View life sciences campus in Del Mar. The building where this eatery can be found was in the middle of the complex and not visible from the roadside. That made it difficult for anyone not working in one of the adjacent offices to find this place. If you were not from on-site like me, then it's best to pull into the below ground parking structure at the 11220 El Camino Real address and then exit on the surface level to follow the sidewalk signs to reach The Kitchen. The operating hours were limited between 10 am to 3 pm on weekdays. I would have thought they would be open early to serve breakfast hours and maybe that is in the future plans. There were large tables outside for al fresco dining while the inside seating was modern and spacious. It resembled what you would find in the lobby of an upscale, boutique hotel. I read the seating capacity was up to 200 diners. Four menu boards hung above one of the service stations where the cashier was situated. Salads, bowls, and sandwiches were the main categories. A make-your-own bowl or wrap bar was also available for custom made creations. From the Chef's Choice Bowls, my selection was the Soba Salmon Noodles. Three small pieces of soy sesame glazed salmon were accompanied by buckwheat soba, cabbage, cucumber, carrot, edamame, and green onion. If you look at the photo of my order, then you will notice the meager serving as the amount of food did not even fill half of the bowl. That was disappointing for a price of $15. The taste of the mix was fine as the soy flavor was prominent. Between the portion size and the challenging location, I limited my rating of The Kitchen at Torrey View to three stars.

I am a CAVA fan & saw this restaurant next door. I decided to give it a shot and am so glad I did…read more I was greeted right away and didn't wait long. The employee was nice. I was so impressed the salad looked just like the pics. I feel like that rarely happens! I usually am picky or hesitant about trying Tina at restaurants but im glad I got it there. The salad was so fresh, filling, and light! I will be returning for sure! I'm looking forward to trying the other menu items too!

Service: [5/5] Staff was really nice, no complaints there. A bright spot in an otherwise mixed…read moreexperience. Price: [2/5] $30 for a sandwich and smoothie is a tough pill to swallow. The sandwich at around $15 is pricey but feels more appropriate for what you're getting. A $12 smoothie isn't unusual in San Diego, but when the taste doesn't back it up, the price becomes a lot harder to justify. Food/Drinks: [3.5/5] Chicken Salad Sandwich -- A 3.8/5 for me. I'm from the South, so I have a pretty solid benchmark for what good chicken salad tastes like. For a healthier take on it, this one actually holds up--the dill was a nice touch and the soft whole wheat bread worked well. That said, I'm judging it on taste alone, not its nutritional value, and it's decent but not exceptional. It also came with vegan bacon bits, which I didn't mind. A solid sandwich, just nothing that wows you. Strawberry Delight Smoothie -- A 3/5. It's clearly a nod to Hailey Bieber's Erewhon smoothie and it looked the part, but the taste was just okay. I swapped the almond milk for 2% due to my nut allergy, which the staff accommodated easily, but even still it didn't wow me. At $12 I was hoping for more. Ambience: [4/5] The interior is on the smaller side but I came on a beautiful day and sat outside, which made for a lovely lunch break. One Paseo is a nice area to be in, so the outdoor experience saves it. Overall Experience: [3.7/5] Jan's is a cute concept and I get the appeal, especially in that setting. But the prices are genuinely hard to justify when you're right next door to Cava, where your money goes a lot further. I'd probably come back for the vibes on a nice day, but I'd be much more selective about what I ordered.

I've been to Mendocino Farms countless of times and this location is just good as the other ones…read moreI've been to. I particularly like the outdoor seating with the wood fencing and the open air style of the restaurant. The food is always on point, and is the first place I think of if I am thinking of grabbing a salad I don't feel like making. This location is no different from any of their other locations. My normal go-to salad is Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada and it has always been consistent in all the locations I've been to, including this location. It is difficult to grab any other salad since I love how filling and tasty this salad was with quinoa. Mendocino Farms is also one of the first places I've ever encountered roasted quinoa and really loved it. (Watch your teeth though!) Service is quick and friendly, both at the cashier and when they bring your food to your table. They ask you if there is anything you needed and even check on you. It's always nice to have a choice for a quick-ish and healthy meal, and if you're looking for a tasty salad, you should put Mendocino Farms at the top of your list.

The dressing was a bit spicier than we anticipated but it was very tasty. All the ingredients were fresh and all went very well together. Possibly a new salad to add to my usual orders here. Service was standard. We did pre-order on the app and when we got there, they did expedite ours a little, which was appreciated. Since they were busy the tables and chairs weren't cleaned but it wasn't a very big deal. Overall a decent experience at this location.

What happened to this location :(…read more I can't see myself returning after today's visit. I stopped by to get a quick Cesar salad (minus chicken) as I was so hungry and nearby Del Mar. The place was empty but alot of to go orders being prepped. A guy helped me and I asked for all kale for my base. The portion seemed small so I asked him for more base kale and he gave me side eye. Keep in mind this is for their BASE (not toppings or premium toppings) - just the base (you'll see portion at end). I subbed tomato for cabbage and then he added the small scoops of parm and cheese crisps. Then tossed with Cesar dressing (it didn't look familiar this time around). The portion was so small that he even looked at it when ringing it up and I was waiting for him to say 'you want me to add more base' but instead shrugged and said 'it's b/c you omitted chicken'. Thanks guy. I could only shake my head when I opened the container. It wasn't even half full. And for $11. I could have gone to Jimbos for a bigger portion at their self serve salad. Or gone to Urbane Cafe (my fave place right now) for ahi kale salad for $13.95. The salad tasted bitter today (like radicchio for some reason) and the dressing didn't taste like their familiar Cesar. I'm kicking myself for not getting salad from another place.
