    My first time here and it was a great experience. We opted for outdoor seating, and there was an umbrella that mostly shaded us from the sun. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered the Avocado Toast and added an egg and a side of bacon. The bacon was crispy just the way I like it. There was plenty of fresh avocado on the toast, and it came with a delicious pesto. I also asked for a side of balsamic to drizzle on top, which was a great addition. I enjoyed everything and will definitely be back to try their dinner menu.

    LAMB CHOPS
    Jerry H.

    This refined restaurant is in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe at the Inn. The bar area and lobby are warm and welcoming. The sushi here is fantastic and deserves 5 stars. Many rolls use real crab meat. They are innovative and fresh rolls. The service was friendly but they could use just a few more staff members to help during busy times. Drinks took a while to come. The lobster pasta and scallops were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The dishes were reasonably priced for a refined restaurant. The lamb chops were ok but everyone agreed they could use a bit more salt. Food and cocktails overall are great here and the restaurant is very nice.

    Fish tacos (split plate)

    We came here on a Tuesday for brunch, the day before Christmas Eve. It was pretty busy but we were only a party of two and fortunately were seated right away. We sat inside and the decor is beautiful and chic. We were guests at the hotel and had our dog with us, and they were very accommodating. The waiter brought him some water and was very patient with him (our dog is a bit anxious). I ordered Bloody Mary, extra spicy and it was pretty good and strong. We ordered a few things to share; the big-eye tuna pizza, roasted tomato soup, and fish tacos. The pizza isn't actually a pizza but thin pieces of tuna on top of bread. It was delicious. I loved the crispiness of the bread and tuna was fresh and light. The tomato soup came with a baguette grilled cheese and it was my favorite dish out of everything. So flavorful and tangy and paired perfectly with the grilled cheese. The fish tacos were alright. A little in the dry side unfortunately, but still tasted good. Service was great. Our waiter was super detailed in answering our questions and was also nice enough to split our soup and tacos into separate plates for us, since we were sharing (at not extra cost). Our food came out quickly and all the staff were friendly.

    The perfect date night setting @liliansrsf @theinnatrsf Rancho Santa Fe offers a stunning atmosphere, welcoming service, and cuisine that speaks for itself. Trajen and Alexis are soo friendly, love the atmosphere and the Chef creates such great dishes so exquisite!!!

    Came to this lovely establishment this past weekend to celebrate my dear friend's birthday. Seeing as it appeared as pet friendly we reserved patio seating. Staff were extremely courteous and pleasant the entire time. They brought out a water bowl for my dog, which was much appreciated. Although there were some stares from other customers, we had no complaints. Our food was spectacular and we look forward to returning to try the rest of the menu. I'd recommend this restaurant for birthdays or romantic dates and even just a regular Tuesday brunch or dinner. A versatile menu and drinks. 10/10 food and service.

    Crab salads
    Annabel H.

    Gorgeous, peaceful setting for brunch with a nice view. Food: 5/5 The crab salad was perfect, the crab tasted fresh and the salad was deliciously balanced. We did not order other items so can't speak on those yet! Drinks: 4/5 The lychee martini was good and had an adorable presentation. It wasn't very strong at all but tasted light and refreshing. Ambiance: 10/10 Lilian's is situated in the Inn at RSF, surrounded by a nicely manicured lawn and foliage. The setting is nice and peaceful, with a coastal touch. Parking: Unless you're staying at the Inn, parking can be found along the streets.

    Completely empty restaurant except for my dad and husband. Table we asked for is right behind the table we were sitting at.

    I wouldn't say I'm a regular at Lilian's but because its so close to home it was one of my favorite easy date night spots with my husband. The first time we went it was great! We sat by the fireplace, service was good, the food was great! We have been five or six more times and I feel like every time we go it somehow gets worse. They have been weird with us asking to move tables before which I sometimes ask to do because they keep it FREEZING inside and I don't like to sit right under a vent. They have very reluctantly moved us before, but I don't see why they're so weird about it. Today I asked to move tables so we could look outside. It was a beautiful evening and we were the only people in the restaurant so I didn't think it would be a big deal. The hostess told me no because they were saving the other tables for other reservations. No problem. I can understand that. EXCEPT 2.5 hours later, only a single other table came and they didn't sit at the other table I asked for. We stayed until 40 minutes before the restaurant closed and no one ever came for the table. It wouldn't have been a big deal to move us and I didn't like that the hostess just lied to our faces. And for what?? The table we asked for was less than a foot away from the original table they sat us at. Food was decent, but the whole time I was just waiting for the reservation to come in and no one ever did so it just made me irritated that the hostess couldn't be bothered to move us.

    Mariscos al fuego
    Jenna D.

    This is a beautiful spot for a date night. The decor gives French Riviera. Service was top notch! Loved the Mariscos Al Fuego (beautiful and delicious). Summer citrus salad was light and lovely. Veal Milanese was perfectly done and dressed with arugula and lemon. Husband loves the spaghetti lobster with the decadent cream sauce. Chocolate cake was unnecessary, but delicious. I do wish they did something special for if you're celebrating a special occasion. They didn't do anything. Also, it was hard for us to find the real parking (valet). We ended up parking where google maps told us where to go, which was at the back of the inn. Beautiful grounds and property so we didn't mind the walk

    I had the pleasure of joining my friend for her baby shower here at Lilian's for Sunday brunch and overall I had a good experience. The vibe is elegant chic with a touch of charm. It's the perfect setting for a date, special occasion, or get together with friends. They have both indoor and outdoor dining. Major props to the young hostesses working that Sunday brunch hour. They were friendly, professional, and seated us immediately. They were also so kind about taking photos for our group. Our server was nice but we felt service was a bit slow at times and had to ask several times to get a refill on our drinks. The food was all fresh and tasty. We had a personalized prix fixe brunch menu and everyone enjoyed their meals. We ate it all :p There is valet parking right in front of the restaurant but also several free parking spots right across the street. Definitely a beautiful setting for brunch or lunch that's worth trying!

    If you're looking for an elevated dining experience in San Diego without the stuffiness, Lillian's delivers across the board. I love it's historic charm and character. Let's talk food: I ordered the prime filet and it tasted great! The meat was very tender and had a really nice crust on it. It tasted buttery and went well with the sauces. My dining partner went with the striped bass, and I have to admit I had some serious entrée envy. The fish paired very well with the beans. They have hospitality on lockdown! Service was attentive without hovering, and our server had great recommendations. It's one of services I've had in California! If you're into quality ingredients, expert preparation, and a relaxed but refined atmosphere, Lillian's should absolutely be on your list.

    Lilians is such a beautiful dining experience with amazing service. We tried a few plates and really enjoyed the seafood appetizer as well as the perfectly cooked steak.

    Well, I haven't been back here except once since the remodel and change of ownership. I was here over a year ago and I was not happy. But I decided to try again and I was pleasantly surprised. They were having a birthday party in the bar so I dined outside where I wanted fresh air anyway. They changed all the roses and replace them with lavender bushes. The cocktails had a nice variety. I definitely do not recommend the breaded veal. But the scallops were literally the best I've ever had in my entire life! No metallic brine flavor after taste! My server made everything flow so easily. Really a great place when you just want to relax. I'd still remember the wild salmon carpaccio from a year and a half ago that was absolutely fantastic and completely changed my opinion of wild salmon. Very elegant, but also relaxed; this ambience is perfect for most occasions.

    The location is spectacular--on a beautiful property (The Inn). The restaurant itself is so pretty, both inside and patio. We had a fabulous meal. Absolutely enjoyed everything.

The grilled artichoke was popular, but it's not going to fill anyone up. I'd get it again.. The steakhouse dinner brings some fancy aged steaks, with a traditional wood-grilled char and smoke. It's really flavorful steak, and you'd be missing out if you didn't go a little feral on the bone. I find they tend to cook a bit further than other steakhouses, with a medium-rare NY Strip looking well into a Medium. It might be the aging or the fire-grill, but there was no pink left in there, and the ends were pretty dry. Look, I'm never going to kick this off my plate, but maybe order much less cooked than you would at Ruth's, okay? The sides are really nice, fresh, hot, but Small. If you're coming in hungry, they're only going to serve two as a side. There is no baked potato, but their gratin is rich with truffle and flavor. Worthy of the steak. Shrimp Scampi: 3 shrimp ($19). Baked oysters: 5 shells. All odd numbers? If you come here expecting to share equally with two people, prepare for battle. The dessert banana-foster cheesecake was terrific.. 5/5, easily enough for two. Service is impeccable, well-coordinated, with perfect timing.

I chose the back, and I'm so glad I did because the view is absolutely beautiful. I also had my dog with me, and they were incredibly dog friendly. They brought her a dog bed and a surprisingly extensive dog menu with some really great options. We ordered: *Lobster Tacos : Three generously filled tacos served with salsa and guacamole. They were absolutely delicious and loaded with lobster, topped with fresh avocado. *Rancho Burger: Easily one of the best burgers I've had. It was cooked perfectly, and we added Swiss cheese. They even cut it in half for my friend and me to share. The fries were fantastic too, crispy and somewhere between steak fries and thin-cut fries. *Shepherd's Pie (Dog Menu) : The menu listed it with beef, but they accidentally brought out the chicken version. Since my dog is allergic to chicken, they immediately apologized, took it back, and made a fresh beef version. The customer service was excellent, and my dog absolutely devoured it. The portion was generous, and it looked fresh enough for a human to eat. The service was phenomenal from start to finish. Our food arrived in less than 20 minutes, the views were stunning, and the menu had so many tempting options that I'll definitely be back to try more. Overall, this was a fabulous lunch, and I highly recommend it.

There are usually plenty of parking spots, so it's easy to get in and out.

That said, the Del Mar location also offers both indoor and outdoor seating, so you still have options. The service was pretty good. It was definitely busy when I visited, so the staff seemed a little rushed at times, but everyone was still very friendly and attentive. The food is always consistently good. I highly recommend starting with the Thai-style lettuce wraps as an appetizer, they're one of my favorites. For my entrée, I ordered the cheeseburger, which never disappoints. Everything was cooked well and tasted great. I also really like the ambiance here. It has a cozy, darker atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a dinner date or a night out with friends. The prices are also pretty reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking this location out if you're in the Del Mar area.

Staple food item is the Pastrami sandwich and fries!!! the burger is oh so tasty also... i recently go the wedge salad and added steak (OMG!) you can't go wrong with any of these... only hitch about the salad and steak is that it wasn't easy eating out of a box and using a plastic utensils...i think i would have rather had a beef kebob so i wouldn't have to deal with cutting the perfectly cooked, delicious steak. i'll keep coming back and try more items! hubby had the chicken sandwich recently and he loved it... we haven't dined it yet...takeout every time...maybe i'll hang out here soon

It's perfect. Not greasy and all the ingredients are of the highest quality. Service is great! Everyone is friendly and will give tons of details about their product (there's a butcher shop as well). Come enjoy this gem.

    Postino has always been our go-to for a nice lunch and stellar drinks. When we moved back to San…read moreDiego my husband and I were happy to see Postino was right down the road in Del Mar at One Paseo. I feel as though I can't say enough about the quality and consistency of their menu. Every time, we're greeted and seated immediately. It's always such a welcoming atmosphere (even when we bring our kids along from time to time) and I appreciate how efficient the staff is. Our popular choices are always the assorted bruschettas - I love that they switch up to offer new flavors and seasonal ingredients. Drinks and cocktails are always spot on. Couldn't recommend this location more for anyone who's looking for an enjoyable bite!

I obviously had to get the bruschetta board which comes with 4 different options. They had a philly cheesesteak chef special that day and it was definitely my favorite. The burrata bacon arugula tomato one was also really tasty, but I thought the mozzarella tomato basil and the smoked salmon and pesto ones fell a little short for me. I also got the half panini and half salad combo which I was very excited to see on the menu because I wanted to try so many different things! I got the caesar salad and the prosciutto & brie sando. It was good! I liked how the fig jam added sweetness to the prosciutto sandwich, but I wish they used less because it was a little too sweet. Great vibes inside too, and servers were nice!

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday, and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The restaurant was spotless, peaceful, and the food came out incredibly fast, which was exactly what we needed after a day of travel recovery. One thing I really enjoyed was the unique combination of pho and sushi on the menu. I've had plenty of each separately around San Diego, but this is the first place I've personally experienced offering both under one roof. It's a great option when you're craving something warm and comforting but also want a few fresh sushi rolls. I ordered the Philadelphia Roll. I typically prefer avocado over cucumber in my rolls, so I would have loved that swap, but it was still fresh and enjoyable. I also ordered a bowl of pho, which was exactly what I needed that day: warm and comforting. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid bowl that delivered on the comfort-food front. Between the clean atmosphere, quick service, and the ability to satisfy both my sushi and pho cravings in one visit, Bamboo Pho & Sushi was a great lunch stop. We'll definitely keep it in mind the next time we're in the area and looking for a relaxing meal

I'm glad we finally tried Bamboo Phở & Sushi the other evening, albeit for take-away. I enjoyed one of my favorites, Oxtail Phở (5/5 $22.50). There were five tender chunks of oxtail in one of the most flavorful phở broth I've enjoyed, including in Vietnam. IMHO it's best phở broth in San Diego. Placing my order by phone was easy, and it was ready when I arrived. Service was great.
