They cut the bruschetta into fourths so the last piece needed to be split between 3 people. There were always people checking on us and making sure to ask if we wanted anything else.

Out of all…read morethe Nick's locations, this one was by far in the best location in terms of things to do around and accessibility with parking (though it is only 2 hours free). The restaurant was beautiful and extremely clean. The ambience was really inviting and warm. The service was definitely top tier. We ordered a lot, which we started with the asparagus fries and california salad. For entries, we ordered the sea bass, fried chicken, and bistro plate. All of them were super delicious! We really appreciated the portion sizes as well. Out of all the dishes, the sea bass was the best. The fish basically melted in your mouth. Lastly, 100% order the butter cake. It's what Nick's is known for. It comes with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can easily share this with 2-3 people.

Nick's Del Mar provided my partner and I with a memorable experience this evening. Unfortunately it…read morewas a memory I wish I could forget. Let me just say right up front that there won't be a next time for me. We had 7:15PM reservations. We arrived a good thirty minutes early. We were greeted warmly and invited to have a seat at the bar until our table was ready. My partner enjoyed a Watermelon Jalapeño Margarita. He said it was very good and loved how forward the Jalapeño flavor was along with the watermelon. He also had a Vesper which he said was even better than the Margarita. Little did we know that we should have stayed at the bar for a couple drinks and grab some fast food on the way home. We were seated at a high top table on their covered patio a few minutes prior to our reservation. After several minutes our server approached our table and asked if we were ready to order. I asked for the Heirloom Roasted Artichokes. He advised us that this appetizer was out of season and not available. We requested a few minutes to peruse the menu to selection our entree choices. My partner ordered the fried chicken and I selected The Prime Rib Dip without the Brioche bun. It only took a couple of minutes before for our server returned and advised me that the kitchen will not serve the Prime Rib Dip without a bun. Apparently it ruins the integrity of the entree. I requested a menu to make another selection. Apparently The Original Prime Rib melt isn't available without the bread either. Eventually I decided to have the Asparagus Fries appetizer as my entrée. I requested a side of blue cheese dressing instead of the Buttermilk Ranch. The Asparagus Fries I was told are made in house. I am not certain I believe that as they lacked any flavor and seasoning. The batter on the outside was fried golden brown but the asparagus was cold, watery and had no flavor. I had to ask for the blue cheese dressing several times before I received it. The server did take the initiative and had the manager remove them from our bill. My partner said the Fried Chicken was quite good and I noticed numerous tables had ordered it as well. The corn on the cob, biscuit and mashed potatoes that accompany the chicken were mid at best. The consistency of the potatoes reminded me of wallpaper glue. They also lacked any flavor or seasonings. He did enjoy the roasted corn on the cob (1/2 ear). However, it was roasted very unevenly. The biscuit was doughy and void of any flavor. I enjoy eating out and don't mine spending more money for great quality, tasting and well seasoned food. Nick's is not cheap. My suggestion is go, sit at the bar, have a cocktail or two and then leave. On your way home stop by In & Out, Jack in the Box, McDonald's or your local Mexican drive thru and order something to eat. It will cost less, be better quality and have more flavor. The ambiance is okay. The restaurant is small and they have done their best to get as many tables in as possible. The restrooms were hideous. They smell bad and there is trash and paper towels all over the floor in the bathroom and outside on the floor. The parking at One Paseo is limited. Luckily, I have a handicapped placard so I got parking right outside their front door. However, I heard several people at the bar and the table next to ours on the patio complaining about how far away they had to park. Thinking about Nick's Del Mar? Skip it and go anywhere else. I promise you will have better food, pay a lot less and have a much better experience.

When the hostess sat us at our table I guess it was still a little dirty so she said let me wipe that down for you. Our server came and took our order. We both were ordering from the Restaurant Week Menu. What we ordered: Roasted Beet & Citrus Salad - big portion, very arugula heavy. Was ok Classic Caesar Salad - bf said his salad was warm. Like it sat out for a little bit. He wished it was a little colder. While we were eating our salads, our next course was put on our table. We were kinda like whoa that's fast, we're not even done with our salads. So those 2 dishes sat on our table while we ate our salads. Those dishes were: Lamb Lollipops - I liked these. Might have been a little better if it didn't sit on our table for a bit. Ahi Ceviche - bf said it too was warm and wished it was cooler. Again, maybe cuz it sat on our table. Pan Seared Salmon - I thought this was good. I liked these crispy skin on the salmon. Steak & Frites - bf ordered medium rare but it was more medium. He just thought it was eh We both liked our desserts. Which were the NY Cheesecake & Chocolate Chip Brownies. I also have to add that every time our plates were given our server would put my dish in front of my bf and my bf's plate in front of me , so we were having to trade every time. We thought it was kinda weird. We were looking forward to this place for Restaurant Week, but we're kinda disappointed in the whole experience.

She was polite, had great conversation with us and it was a delight to start our day with such pleasantries. The view was beautiful, the weather was perfect and my endless mimosas were yummy. My husband ordered the pineapple michelada which was a bit sweet for his liking. I asked Emily if they had Bloody Mary's and she said she makes a great one. This is where we had another round of great conversation as the servers are also bartenders. That keeps them busy and I was impressed! She didn't disappoint and my hubby was happy with his drink. I had the avocado toast and it was delicious! The bread was to die for! As I write this I find my mouth watering. My husband has the steak and frites, as though the steak was a bit tough with sinew, it was still tasty. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. The slam dunk was our server Emily. She is a great addition to the restaurant and if you get a chance to request her, you won't be disappointed. Well done Beeside !

It's closer to where I live. Every time I go, I have the best experience. Not only is the food amazing, the views-unreal, but the service is always great. My friend and I always sit in the same spot it's like the bar but not. It's its own little spot to the right of the bar and I think it's the best seat in the house. Food- I've had pretty much everything here I think! Nothing ever disappoints. My faves: -Bee's Board- #1 by far. I always order extra pita. The pita is like a warm pillow. You can't not inhale it, it's that good. It comes with honey goat cheese, artichoke hummus, veggies, olives, a ton of good stuff! -Crab cake- a legit blue lump panko crab cake that doesn't use a ton of breading and no crab like most places. It's super fresh and delightful. -Lamb & beef meatballs- I don't know if it's the lamb/beef combo but these are so good. I pretty much get them every time I go. Loads of flavor and always cooked perfectly. -Truffle Parm fries are a must if you like truffle. I've had a ton of other things that are all fabulous but those are a few of my faves. Oh! We also got a dessert last time we went. I am not a huge dessert or sweets person at all but we housed it and it was bigger than my head if that tells you anything. It was a Baklava ice cream cake. Come onnnn. It had walnuts, nutmeg, cinnamon honey drizzle. I was very annoying eating it because every bite I had to dramatically sigh because I couldn't handle how good it was. *When indulging, always go for the champs deals they have I believe on the weekends!

We chose to watch it here because it's a 3 hr movie and the chairs fully recline, so it was more comfortable. The service was good, however the chairs need some repair because my call button didn't work. So I initially thought that the service was taking a long time. My husband's button worked and they came quickly after we pressed his. They have a decent menu, but I wish that they had some more candy options. My favorite is Junior Mints and it's not on the menu, sadly. I like coming here on occasion but they get 4 stars because they could really use some upgrades or refurbishing. Some bigger screens would be a nice upgrade too.

On my last two visits within the same month, the AC was not working properly. During The Odyssey, I sat through nearly three hours as the theater continued to get warmer. With the humidity we've been experiencing in San Diego, it was extremely uncomfortable. The same issue occurred during a movie I saw three weeks earlier, and the visit before that as well. At this point, I'm not sure if the AC is actually broken or if Cinepolis is simply not prioritizing the repair. If you're planning to see a movie during these hot summer months, I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm the AC is working in your theater. And don't be fooled by the freezing lobby--the individual theaters can be a completely different story.

We came for Sunday brunch and arrived about 15 minutes early. Although about half the tables were empty, the host told us, "You can't sit until it is your appointment time." The greeting felt unnecessarily unwelcoming and set a disappointing tone for the visit. We were also looking forward to the live music, but the singer was placed far away from the guests, seemingly performing for a separate area rather than the restaurant as a whole. As shown in the attached photo, he was left alone while performing. It did not feel respectful of his talent, and it did not match the live-music atmosphere we expected. The food was okay, but overall we would rate it 3/10. The highlight of the visit was the service: Sunny and the other servers were truly amazing and deserve 5/5. Their kindness and effort prevented our overall rating from being even lower. We hope the restaurant can return to the warm, welcoming, fun atmosphere it used to have. It has so much potential, and we would love to see it get back to its original good vibes

We went over Labor Day weekend and were still able to get a reservation pretty easily. Parking int he area was a bit difficult to find, but that was probably to be expected for a holiday weekend (there is public parking on the street + parking lot across the street). We ended up using valet, which was only $2 and made things easier. One of my favorite parts was being able to walk right down to the beach after we finished eating and spend a little time by the water. Such a nice way to end the meal.

They honored our request when we arrived to be by a window to be able to enjoy the view although it was already getting dark by that point, so it wasn't bright enough to really enjoy it but I'm sure it is a gorgeous location if we had been able to get in a little earlier! We had the grilled prawns appetizer which was so delicious but which also then surprised me with how bad my meal was after having such a great app. My husband's burger was fine and he enjoyed it, but the pan roasted chicken I ordered was just very bland. I'm not very picky but there was no seasoning on it at all, just a plain pan sauce made from the juices of very plain chicken. It was originally plated nicely before I took the photo I included, but I had cut into it to make sure it was cooked thoroughly before I tried it since it was very thick and it was cooked fine, just not seasoned with anything that I could taste or see visually. I had to ask for salt and pepper to add to it and our waitress never came to ask how our food was once we got it, so I had to wait for someone else passing by to ask for that. It wasn't too bad to eat but just not very enjoyable so I didn't eat most of it, and when our waitress came back to finally give us our check and I declined a to-go box for it she still never asked how everything was, so we didn't complain or bring it up. For such a good location and how good the app was, I would still recommend them just maybe not that dish!
