I was looking for Dubonnet as an alternative for vermouth for cocktails like Negroni…read more Two different staff helped me to look for it on several shelves at this BevMo today but alas! They did not have it in stock. One of them looked it up on the store computer and figured out that no BevMo's keep it in stock anymore except in New York! Ah well, I still appreciate their effort to look for it today! Thank you!

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.

I've been coming to Seaside Market for years, and I absolutely love this place. I recommend it to…read moreanyone looking for a great local market, and I'll definitely continue being a customer. That said, I've noticed a few things lately that have made it a little harder to shop here, especially as the store seems to be getting busier and busier. The biggest challenge has honestly been the crowds. It feels like the popularity of the market has really grown, which is great to see, but it can make the experience a little overwhelming. I also think it may be worth considering a larger location at some point. Parking can be incredibly difficult, especially if you have a larger vehicle, and getting in and out can sometimes be a challenge. I also recently had an unfortunate experience with a few items I purchased. The girl who helped me at the register was very kind and bagged the majority of my items, but a couple of smaller items were left outside of the bag. I was in a rush and completely forgot to grab them before I left, even though I had already paid for everything. I realized it later and called the store to explain what happened. They were kind enough to put my name on a bag and hold the items for me, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, when I came back later that week to pick them up, the items couldn't be found. It seemed like there was some miscommunication between the staff, which was really disappointing because I had specifically called ahead and was told they would be held for me. I completely understand that things can get misplaced, especially in a busy store, but it was frustrating knowing that I had already paid for the items and had made a trip back specifically to retrieve them. I also didn't have my receipt anymore because I had assumed everything had been placed in my bag, which I realize was ultimately my mistake. It's definitely something I won't let happen again. What was disappointing was that, even though the staff remembered me coming in previously, the items ultimately weren't replaced or resolved. I understand that mistakes happen, but I think this could have been handled a little better. Even with these issues, I still genuinely love Seaside Market and want to see it continue to do well. I know that growing crowds and increased popularity can create challenges, but I do think there are opportunities to improve the overall customer experience, especially when it comes to parking, managing the crowds, and communication between team members. The prices have definitely been climbing, and with the store becoming busier, it's getting a little harder to visit than it used to be. Still, there's a reason I've been coming here for years, and I'll continue to support the market. I just hope they're able to find ways to make the experience a little easier as the business continues to grow.

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

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!!!!

This store is always great to visit. We stopped by here on the way to the San Diego County fair in…read moreDel Mar. What I like about the store is that they always seem to have clean aisles, clean floors, and all of the items are put together very well on the shelves. When we walked in, we needed to find sunscreen, and there was a cashier who was nice enough to offer to help us find it. She directed us to where it was. The prices for the sunscreen are super competitive and very reasonable. I also found that they have the deli section near the produce department (on the left of the store). My husband and I peruse some of the things to see if we were going to have anything before we went to the fair. He ended up getting a packaged sandwich. I only got the sunscreen. It's always a good experience when we come here and we appreciate that Gelson is a small grocer in San Diego.

Love me some grocery shopping!!…read more If you're a fan of Whole Foods and Sprouts than this spot may be your jam! With that said, you must have expensive taste. Quality over quantity baby!! Pros: - Parking jackpot - Tons of parking in Del Mar (rare and appreciated) - Beautiful location - Surrounded by other shops, makes errands fee a little bougie - Clean and spacious - Wide aisles, organized layout, and easy to get in and out - Fun fact - I can spend hours at a grocery store browsing through the aisles looking at new products. - Hot food and prepared meals - Chef's kiss - perfect spot for a quick lunch they never miss - Health food heaven - A health nut dream if your wallet can keep up! I was tempted to buy some yummy new products but hesitated due to the price point. But trust, it is well worth it. - Gourmet and hard-to-find items - Great for when you're feeling fancy or experimental - Local products - love supporting local vendors - Friendly staff - super welcoming and go the extra mile - Not too crowded even on a Saturday - that's always a plus! Cons: - Prices = emotional damage - You go in for snacks, come out reconsidering your life choices LOL - Regular items can cost more - Your basic groceries will definitely be pricier than standard markets - Upscale vibes = upscale bill - Go figure! Final thoughts: This place is perfect for browsing, treating yourself, or grabbing a solid ready-made meal. It's not your everyday budget grocery run especially in this economy so shop wisely. Great spot though when you just want to splurge and treat yo'self! Health is wealth they say!
