- WwcfoodievipSan Francisco Bay Area •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoA near-perfect dining experience! My husband and I shared two items and a dessert. The crab cake (just one, but generous in size) was crispy and full of crab meat. The seafood risotto was rich and creamy, with a variety of seafood. There were other menu items that we'll come back for, such as the branzino or the bolognese. Service was prompt and attentive, but not hovering. On a chilly evening a variety of heat sources on the balcony made it feel cozy. I look forward to coming back!More infoBeeside BalconyPrice: Expensive• Contemporary European• Del Mar•4.6

- CchitownroxyvipSan Diego •62 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023What a perfect way to usher in the New Year. Jake's never disappoints. Brunch was superb (I had the shrimp and salmon omelet - yum; my husband had the huevos rancheros [also a yum]), the view of a very dynamic Pacific Ocean was incomparable, and service from Teagen was excellent. OUTSTANDING!More infoJake's Del MarPrice: Moderate• American• Del Mar•4.8
- MDMelissaDvipHawaii •5 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023We had a wonderful lunch at Tamarino last week. Sunday, not crowded, great service. It was our first time there, and I was impressed with the tasty food, which left me with a big box of leftovers. My only comment would be that the house margarita was smaller than expected, for the price. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back. Maybe not for a cocktail, though.More infoTamarindo Latin Kitchen- Del MarPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Del Mar•4.6
