Came for the happy hour, and there were definitely some pluses and minuses to the experience:…read more Pluses: the oysters were good, I enjoyed my bees knees drink, and there's an ocean view. Minuses: when the waitress was clearing the oyster plate from the table, she spilled a bit on my boyfriend. Okay, mistakes happen, but rather than responding with an apology and a napkin, she just said that there was too much ice on the plate ??? After my boyfriend cleaned it up, he kindly requested another napkin... she said okay then brought the napkin over to another person at the table. It felt very weird and uncomfortable. Also, the happy hour food we received (crab cakes and a slider) were laughably small... i wish I took a picture but it was nothing I wanted to remember. This place has potential but the customer service has room for improvement and the food portions should be reconsidered... or at least be consistent- the table next to us said they also ordered from the happy hour menu but their crab cakes looked nothing like ours. Disappointing

The salad and fries sides were generous. Parking in front of the restaurant is limited and shared with car repair but there is a pay lot on the corner. I have a feeling evenings are more raucous. There is a club that provides mini lockers with a plaque for personal beer mugs. The city of DelMar needs to trim some plants partially blocking the lagoon view.

They have a variety of items on the menu from burgers to tacos. I enjoyed my Caesar and was happy they had anchovies as an add on. The halibut was a good portion but thought it was a bit dry and a bit bland. I liked their beer variety and had a rice lager called cheep skate which was really good. Fun atmosphere to hang out as they have a big indoor,outdoor patio with a great view of the lagoon

Visited Cork and Craft with my mama tribe the Saturday before Mother's Day around 7pm and were…read morehonestly surprised we were able to snag reservations so easily last minute. The staff was very warm and welcoming, though throughout the evening it definitely felt like they may have been short staffed and stretched a bit thin. Since we were headed to a movie after dinner, we decided to keep things light and share appetizers plus dessert. We tried the Fried Shishito Peppers, Veggie Potstickers, Grilled Broccolini, Rosemary Garlic Fries, Whipped Burrata, Garlic Noodles, Salmon Poke Tacos, and Lamb Chops. Overall, the food was decent but nothing especially memorable. The lamb chops were cooked nicely but could have used more seasoning, and the poke tacos were tasty but tiny -- literally about the size of my pinky for each taco. We were disappointed they had sold out of both the Crème Brûlée Bread Pudding and the Budino, which were the desserts we originally wanted to try. Thankfully, the Butter Toffee Cake completely saved dessert for us -- absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, a cute spot with good vibes for a girls night, but the food itself didn't quite live up to the hype for us.

I really wanted to give this place five stars for the food alone, but unfortunately the service…read moreheld me back. The sushi was genuinely delicious. Our server recommended a special habanero roll, and my friend ordered the Hawaii rolls--both were excellent. Another friend ordered a burger and really enjoyed it as well, so the kitchen is definitely doing something right. Where things fell short was the service. Our server started off great--friendly and with a good vibe--but as the evening went on, things slowed down noticeably. The host was not very attentive; we had to ask multiple times for items, and drinks were delayed until our server eventually followed up. It felt like no one else was stepping in to help. There were also a few mix-ups. We ordered crème brûlée and cheesecake, but were mistakenly given bread pudding that belonged to another table. It took about 20 minutes for the server to return and let us know about the error. While it wasn't added to our bill, there wasn't much effort made to make up for the inconvenience. I also ordered another glass of wine that never arrived--though, to be fair, I wasn't charged for it. Toward the end of the night, service became even more inconsistent. We were ready to pay, but the server disappeared for a while, and when he finally took our card, he seemed distracted and took extra time chatting with another table. Overall, it's a nice spot--especially for a summer dinner--and the food is definitely worth trying. However, the service needs improvement before I'd consider coming back.

I struggled with this review. The location, the vibe and the food are all good. The service is…read morebad. I've been 3 times, and every time the service is lacking. The Great - The food The Good - The location The Bad - The lack of service The Ugly - Same Sets has never been jam packed when we've been, but we've always been treated like they are. The latest adventure was yesterday. The person delivering the food asked if we needed anything, we asked for ketchup and never saw the person again. I went inside and asked our server for ketchup, she said she'd be right there. After about 5 minutes, someone (I assume the manager) asked if we needed something. We asked for ketchup again, and she brought it. Another five minutes passed and the server brought us ketchup. We were never checked on by our server. The manager did eventually check on us after our drinks were empty, but by that point we decided we were done and would go have an after-dinner drink somewhere else. Very sad to give up on Sets, but after 3 attempts in a years time, only to get the same poor service, we've decided to not go back.

When ordering, I had ordered the southern fried chicken sando, which I was super stoked about. It was forever since I last had a fried chicken sandwich! I got a sandwich which I didn't think of anything at the time but did think it was super flimsy for a southern fried chicken sando. I had questioned my other half and he told me that a sando is a sandwich, and maybe this was a different twist on it. New momma brain was on full and I didn't think of questioning it. Joke's on me as it turned out to be a completely different meat sandwich entirely. I ended up getting a Socal Turkey Club and didn't think anything of it. They did get my tater tots right. I guess the universe just wanted me to eat healthier. My other half got what he ordered and one year old got what they wanted. And surprisingly, my one year old ate a good amount of broccoli. They also were super sweet in providing a community coloring book for my one year old to scribble in. Drinks were refreshing and strong! Parking wasn't too bad and it was in a nice cute area that gave off ski town vibes. We probably would return, if not to satisfy the fried chicken sando I never got.

We left feeling underwhelmed by both dinner and breakfast. Given the restaurant's reputation and…read morehigher-end pricing, we arrived expecting a memorable dining experience, but across both meals we found the food and service fell well short of expectations. -- Dinner We started with the Roasted Tomato Soup, which tasted very similar to a canned grocery store soup - perfectly edible, but lacking the freshness and depth we expected. The Spicy Rigatoni Alla Vodka was certainly spicy, but beyond the heat it was surprisingly bland and short on flavor. Dessert - the Samoa Sundae, along with the complimentary cookies (which were a nice touch) - was the standout of the evening and genuinely excellent. We regularly dine at Michelin-starred and other fine dining restaurants, so we're more than happy to pay premium prices when the quality warrants it. Here, however, the value simply wasn't there. Charging around $40 for a basic pasta dish and $15 for simple sides like fries sets a reasonably high bar, and unfortunately the food didn't live up to those expectations. Service was friendly and attentive overall, although there were a few noticeable missteps, including dishes being served to the wrong guests and water being poured while we were in the middle of settling the bill. -- Breakfast Breakfast the following morning reinforced our overall impression. Coffee was served from an automated bean-to-cup machine rather than being freshly prepared, which felt out of place for a restaurant at this price point. We also weren't offered sugar with our coffee and had to wait until we could flag someone down. We noticed the café just a few meters away was preparing barista-made coffee and matcha drinks, but when we asked, our server wouldn't offer them from the restaurant. We then overheard her telling another table that they would need to walk over to the café to order them separately, and that these premium drinks weren't included in the complimentary hotel breakfast. The food itself was equally disappointing. The eggs were overcooked - hard, rubbery, and lacking much flavor. The deconstructed salmon bagel was an odd choice. At $28, we expected a thoughtfully composed dish, not one that required us to assemble it ourselves. It felt more like an unnecessary gimmick than an elevated presentation. The pancakes were fine, albeit slightly raw in the middle. My father is vegan and, after noticing that the only breakfast entrée suitable for his diet was the Avocado Toast, I emailed the hotel in advance to ask whether any additional options could be prepared during our three-night stay, so he wouldn't have to eat the same dish every morning. Two days later, I received a reply that essentially reiterated what was already on the menu and said my comments would be passed along to the restaurant team. Unfortunately, I never received any further communication from the restaurant team, and his dietary requirements were not acknowledged in any way during breakfast. For a hotel and restaurant positioned at this level, that was particularly disappointing. Service also slipped at the end of the meal. Once we had finished eating, our server disappeared entirely. After waiting for some time, we eventually had to go inside the restaurant to find someone so we could ask for the check, only for that employee to then head to the back to locate our server. -- Overall, both meals were adequate, but neither came close to justifying the restaurant's reputation or pricing. During our three-night stay at the hotel, we chose to dine elsewhere after our first dinner and breakfast, and left feeling that there are far better dining options available.

Surrounded by a great group of people, the atmosphere was fantastic, but it was the creativity and execution of the chef's cuisine that became the main topic of conversation throughout the evening. We ordered a variety of starters and entrées, sharing everything family-style so everyone could sample different dishes. Every item had its own unique flavors, beautiful presentation, and attention to detail. Honestly, every bite was memorable. Our favorites included: 1. Maytag Blue Cheese Soufflé 2. Burrata & Stone Fruit Salad 3. Organic Grapefruit & Avocado Salad 4. Bluefin Tuna Tartare 5. Tempura Soft-Shell Crab 6. Mafaldine & Guanciale Puttanesca 7. Miso Roasted Black Cod 8. Kuro Wagyu Ribeye 9. Cabernet-Braised Beef Short Ribs 10. Spice Seared Local Bluefin Tuna Actually, that's like everything on the menu and every single dish was exceptional! The service was equally impressive. Lino our server took great care of us, offering perfect recommendations and creating a warm, personable experience from start to finish. Celebrating both my birthday and a recent promotion here made the evening even more special. The restaurant surprised me with a thoughtful celebratory treat that was a wonderful touch. And I can't forget the amuse-bouche that started the meal, it was phenomenal. Check out the photos, especially the watermelon sorbet. An unforgettable evening with outstanding food, exceptional service, and a truly memorable atmosphere. Highly recommended!
