• Steakhouse • University City/Golden Triangle
Booked 48 times today
The Amalfi Llama reimagines the culinary landscape by seamlessly merging the allure of a rustic live-fire steakhouse with the flavors of Italian cuisine, a culinary haven where genuine cooking, down-to-earth cuisine and stylish flair intertwine. Guests embark on a journey from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy as they indulge in a multisensory experience that transcends boundaries – from the soothing cream decor to the intimate ambiance of crackling embers accompanied by the melodies of vintage Italian vinyls. Embracing the essence of a modern farmhouse, The Amalfi Llama revolves around an open parrilla grill and wood-burning oven, harnessing fire, smoke, coals and embers to craft dishes. The restaurant’s ethos also meets design with Latin American and Mediterranean influences, resulting in an inviting environment adorned with light woods, natural light and subtly elegant finishes, defying traditional steakhouse and Italian restaurant conventions.

    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!
