Definitely love Delmar sky deck, plenty of items to choose and have a great lunch or dinner with friends. Plenty of different types of food even desserts. Service is very good. Don't forget to grab some drinks in the middle area. read more

This is a cool spot, lots to pick from under one roof.. I believe they have DJ play every other Friday, and they stay open till 1am on Friday/ Saturday.. umm don't quote me.. this was word of mouth info by a parent during a PTA fundraiser event. read more

This is a great concept place. I am not sure I would call it a food hall based on my previous experiences but for sure like a food mall? There are restaurant options but they are mostly separate entities like stores are at a mall. You do all of your business right at that restaurant and stay there. I thought it was going to look more like liberty station and the food hall I've been to in little Italy where it is more communal seating shared by every place instead of just going to a restaurant next to another restaurant. I am not sure I am explaining this very well. If you do want to try multiple places you should sit at Understory where you can then get food from everywhere. I'll be honest and say I am not sure if you can do this at the other restaurants but the non-communal seating for sure threw me off. This is very open with all of the restaurants, and it is a great, large space. It is very nicely done up and looks great. It would be awesome to come here on a date night or with a group of friends. I do suggest checking it out here but make sure you have the proper expectations with the name of it being a food hall. read more

I like the vibe up here. Different restaurants up here with good music. Thought it was a nightclub before heading up the escalator. Great place to take visitors, grab a bite, a drink and just kick it. read more

A nice spot, great location, lots of food choices, dessert choices, and drink choices. A variety of each, making it a great spot to visit and meet friends from over the county. Price is what you'd expect of the area, but definitely would recommend a visit. Family and pet friendly. Would recommend. read more

I hope the Management overseeing Sky Deck sees this as it's important for them to receive this feedback. Most of the people I've spoken to in Carmel Valley feel similarly. I was thrilled to see Sky Deck open in Carmel Valley as I've lived here for 30 years. It was so beautiful inside. But here's the thing, and it wasn't just a open time event. The music in the entire place is TOO LOUD with blaring club music and such. You can't carry on a conversation in any of the restaurants. Believe me, I've tried in every single one. For instance, two weeks ago, my boyfriend and I went for lunch at the Thai restaurant assuming it would be quiet enough to chat. Not even close. They had a DJ playing music on a Sunday early afternoon and it was SO LOUD we couldn't even order. The waiter couldn't hear us! We ended up leaving before we informed him why we were leaving. We had to shout it to him. There is nothing relaxing about dining here, either for dinner or lunch, and we've done it several times. Never again. The people around us were in their 50s, 60s and 70s. No one wanted to hear Rap and Club music blaring in a Thai restaurant at 12:30. The place is often empty at lunch. This is one of the reasons why. We were so happy with Sky Deck finally opened, but I doubt if we will ever return. Please change your policy or at least lower the music to some reasonable level so that people can actually hear one another. read more

Nightmare!!!!!!!! So many rules on what you can order, where you can drink it, where you can eat. Horribly stressful. Stay away until they figure out the logistics. Nice setting tho...... read more

I'm surprised to see the lower reviews for Sky Deck! If you're expecting a true food court experience. This is not it, so you're going to be disappointed. But I think they had a vision and executed it very well. The vibes are great, you have many choices for food and for drinks, and it's conveniently located. If your whole party cab decide on one place to eat, you're gonna be set just fine! I look forward to going back and taking friends, and trying more of the eateries. read more

Sky Deck is a really great new addition to the Carmel valley area. There are a lot of outdoor seats for dining and a variety of restaurants to choose from. There's plenty of parking and it's a fun place to hang out and catch up with friends. The bar is beautiful and I love the interior decor! read more

The ambiance was great! We ate tapas and drinks and had an amazing date night. It was fun and cool.

This place is perfection when everyone wants to eat something different. The amount of beautiful decorated restaurant with amazing service will leave everyone in your party happy.

Fun experience with lots of choices for food and drinks. Depending on where you're sitting it can bit noisy so hard to have conversations when it's busy. read more

What a fun place. So many good places to eat or go for drinks. The ambiance is trendy yet very chill. Definitely a place we will visit again. read more

Wow wow wow so impressed by the quality of the food here. We stopped in to sit at the Understory for some craft cocktails and they did not disappoint! Ask for Peter if you stop in. Peter asked us what our preference was then created the most amazing cocktails that we couldn't help but find ourselves asking for more. At the Understory you have the luxury of ordering food from most of the menus within the food hall. The glass box exceeded our expectations. So much so that we ordered seconds. The tuna was like air in your mouth. The Italian place had the most amazing salad where the prawns melted in your mouth. My husband ordered a pizza and he couldn't stop talking about it. Not only will we be back soon but we will be back again and again and again. read more

Great food, great service, and excellent ambiance... I am use to these kind of places from where I am from in Biloxi, MS, so I miss the "openness" of restaurant warehouse types!!! I am happy to have a place to go be it for lunch, family fun, after work business meetings, or even date night they have you covered!!! So go treat yourself or the the whole family!!! read more

Great open air beer garden!! Great place to hang out, watch the ball games/gold on TV, relax with friends. You can order food from any of the many restaurants within, from QR code and they run upstairs for you!! Fire pit/couches/lounge area on main deck. One stop hang out location!!!! read more

I've come here a handful of times and i'm never disappointed. I usually eat at Kiin Thai or sit at Understory and grab food from there. Understory will usually have a wait if you don't get reservations beforehand. The Kombucha bar upstairs is also really nice! read more

Thai food was amaaazingggg!!! Super clean seating area, awesome service, inviting atmosphere!

Food was amazing! Just as the service. Really dug the who ambiance as well. It's smaller than I thought but I'd come back for sure

Nice view, handful of food restaurant options to eat at. ( Glass box ) was amazing! and so was the pastry stand at the entrance. Went back to try the same restaurant, one week after my first visit. Glass box is a must try, offering a large variety of sushi rolls, and a super tasty salmon dish! :) read more

Came here and stayed up at Brewer's deck and was in awe of this place! The bottom level is filled with so many different restaurants which is really cool because even though they are all in the same large room, they all have their own seating and are all such different vibes. The overall atmosphere is INCREDIBLE and it just looks so cool inside, like nothing I've seen before! Up top is the brewer's deck with three breweries which is amazing, AND you can order food from some of the places downstairs and have it delivered up to your table. The only downside I will note is that their prices for everything are fairly high, and the full menus and restaurants aren't available for delivery. However, once you go downstairs and order they'll normally still bring it up to you! 1000% recommend this place for any occasion! read more

That that great. Looks nice but once you get in, there are rules. Can't take out food patio, can't bring beer down from deck, can't buy fries anywhere in this place. Whacked place. read more

Sky deck is an awesome addition to Carmel Valley's highland plaza. It has a several excellent eateries including pizza, Thai, ramen, Greek and a brewery deck on the 2nd floor. The design was based of El National food court in Barcelona. read more

Great food and ambiance! The bar in the middle is so fun and such a cool concept being able to order from any restaurant around you!

It was my birthday. I was upstairs at the brewery and a girl named "Maddie" , who knows if that's her real name, treated us horribly. One of our drinks spilled, and she used awful language toward us and flipped us the bird. Completely unprofessional and unwarranted. She got all of her coworkers to stop serving us. She said "my boss will never fire me". Honestly, it was shocking. I've lived my entire life in Carmel Valley and all my friends and family go to the Sky deck weekly. This employee doesn't know how to speak to customers. If I was the manager, I would be embarrassed to have her as an employee. read more

We love it here!! Such a great spot for a friends night, date night, anything really... I would suggest sitting at the bar in the middle of the space because you can order from ALL of the surrounding restaurants! We love to come and order a mixed assortment of appetizers from all of the places! The service is quick and friendly! We also order KIIN Thai often for take out and it's amazing! Such a fun, loud, high energy place read more

Great place to eat and meet up with friends or just have a quick delicious meal with great fun ambiance.

I am filing a report with ADA. I am Deaf and have a service dog. The security gentleman completely disregarded the laws and asked me "if I was handicapped" took PICTURES of my dog and the license which I have on display on her SERVICE DOG HARNESS. So clearly my service dog was obviously labeled however the gentleman asked a series of questions which violated my rights and caused to write this review. He told me that the management says NO DOGS, that I should complain to them. Dear management, expect a formal complaint from the ADA. Additionally, please read the important information below including the two questions you may legally ask me as well as ADA laws regarding service animal (not ESA) a SERVICE ANIMAL. Here are the 2 questions a business may inquire about a service dog when it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. Here are the LAWS under ADA Q: What are the laws that apply to my business? A: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed. Q: What is a service animal? A: The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. Guide dogs are one type of service animal, used by some individuals who are blind. This is the type of service animal with which most people are familiar. But there are service animals that assist persons with other kinds of disabilities in their day-to-day activities. Some examples include: _ Alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds._ Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments._ Assisting persons with mobility impairments with balance.A service animal is not a Q: What must I do when an individual with a service animal comes to my business? A: The service animal must be permitted to accompany the individual with a disability to all areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go. An individual with a service animal may not be segregated from other customers. Q: I have always had a clearly posted "no pets" policy at my establishment. Do I still have to allow service animals in? A: Yes. A service animal is not a pet. The ADA requires you to modify your "no pets" policy to allow the use of a service animal by a person with a disability. This does not mean you must abandon your "no pets" policy altogether but simply that you must make an exception to your general rule for service animals. read more

Nice and needed in Del Mar/Carmel Valley area. We sat in the middle at Understory, my girlfriends and i enjoyed the fact we can sit there and order from any of the surrounding restaurants!!!!! So we did not have to all agree on one spot to eat. We all ordered from different places and shared. read more

I never thought a nice date night would be at a food court! I was quite impressed actually. Loved the decor! Obviously not like a malls food court. It's a bunch of nice restaurants. Obviously over priced though. We chose the sushi restaurant, although unfortunately I forgot the name of it, but it was yummy and fresh with elegance and excellent service. read more

The food was good the service ís ok and the ambiance is busy and ok is a good place to meet up and family gathering

Neat concept. Beautifully decorated. I would say it's a mesh between a food hall and a facility where there are a few restaurants to dine at. You can sit at the bar (ie. Understory) or the beer deck on level 3, and order food from a few selected restaurants (ie. Thai, Mediterranean, Italian, etc). via a QR code. Then they deliver the food to you. I strongly believe there a few restaurants that are excluded (ie. Craft House) as I didn't see all restaurants listed when I scanned the QR code. Unfortunately, there are not many communal dining spaces. So, we grabbed a table at Understory (which is a beautiful bar located essentially in the middle) and ordered food from Kiin Extraordinary Thai. (The food was great, BTW). Afterwards, we visited Craft House and just enjoyed their craft cocktails. Essentially, there are pros and cons to the Sky Deck, but just know it's a little different than other food halls (ie. Liberty Public Market, Carlsbad Food Mill, etc.). read more

Alexis was great! She took good care of us! The tuna tostadas and salads were very tasty and fresh.

This place is GREAT for a date or a night out with the girls!! Beautiful venue with multiple restaurants under one roof, so if everybody can't decide what they want, everyone can order from different restaurants and still eat together. Then upstairs is the brewery (sky deck) so you can sit outside and look at the view. Italian, Mediterranean, Asian... whatever you want, they have a restaurant for you! read more

I agree with the general consensus of my fellow yelpers that the space here has a good ambience and space but does not follow the concept of a food hall/market. Still waiting for the other spots to open up. There is plenty of parking. I would say this place is great for a casual hangout with friends without the expectations of the dining or food experience itself. The appeal is the wide open spacious feel that lets you enjoy the weather. read more

The Sky Deck is a essentially a food/beer court in the Del Mar Highlands Shopping center. It is located on the second and third floors in the southernmost part of the center, just above Jimbo's. The overall appearance and décor are somewhat puzzling. While pleasant to the eye, the ambiance is one of the skiing resort, not the the beachside faux-schick typical for San Diego. As a proof, I would like to point to the circular table at the entrance that has a fire pit in the center and the make-believe firewood storage underneath the table surface (the fire is using gas, of course) An escalator brings visitors up from the very crowded parking lot (if you see an empty spot close to the Sky Deck, it is for 30 minutes only). The establishment is clearly separated into two levels. The lower level is a family-friendly food court, with helpful; concierges a the entrance, tables for indoor and outdoor dining and restaurants around the walls. The center is occupied by a bar. The upper level is a dedicated outdoor beer hall. I have visited on a Friday afternoon, the food court was near-empty, including the bar, the beer place was clearly booming. Overall grade, for me: let's wait and see. For the younger generation, this might be a useful working model of a city night life scene. Carmel Valley deserves to have one. A tip: the bathroom is on the lower (food court) level in the far right back. If you will be looking for paper towels at the wash basin, they are hidden inside a large brown beam right above the faucets; you have to literally finger the bottom of the darn thing in order to find the towels. Once used, there is no place to dispose of them, toss them into the trash receptacles in the food court (hopefully, this will be fixed quickly). read more

Nice place. Lots of choices. Good ramen place. Contemporary settings. Good service. Clean. Convenience.

Amazing selection of beverages and food. Can't go wrong here. Great addition to the area!

Sky deck has a ton of options. I like Urbana's watermelon mint refresher drink. The sushi at glass box is ok, again not the best out there. Just know that you will spend a little bit more for the atmosphere and ambiance. The cost of the food is not a reflection of how good it taste. Getting Handles ice cream is worth every penny though. Set your expectations to "medium" and you'll walk away with a five star experience. read more

Great ambiance for casual dining! So many tasty food choices. Enjoyable place for out of town visitors!
