    Father’s Day bbq was the deal of century. Everyone and every thing was great. You can tell they really thought about the details. Chef Blais even came around to say hi and of course, take photos. Ribs were fall off the bone perfect. Cocktails and mocktails made to order. Potato salad which most won’t even think about, was A+. Staff was friendly despite being busy. Atmosphere is perfect for a sunny San Diego celebration.

    Havana Night at the Del Mar Fairmont – An Unforgettable Experience! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Havana Night at the Del Mar Fairmont, what an incredible evening! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was electric, filled with vibrant energy, stunning decor, and the perfect blend of music, culture, and elegance. What truly elevated the night, though, was the exceptional service, especially from Sean, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. He was extremely attentive, making sure we were always comfortable and never without a drink in hand. His friendly, kind, and professional demeanor stood out in the best way. It’s rare to encounter someone so genuinely thoughtful and committed to creating a memorable guest experience. If you're looking for an immersive night of fun, flavor, and festivity Havana Night is a must. And if you're lucky enough to be taken care of by Sean, you’re in for an unforgettable treat. We’ll absolutely be back!

    We grabbed a table last minute for a quick family dinner. The service was on point, Angela was very attentive and the food came out blazing fast. My son loved the Udon and my daughter devoured the chicken teriyaki. We had some rolls and the special nigiri, we especially liked the truffle sea bass one. This place has it together, will definitely be returning.
