The Lobby Lounge at Fairmont Grand Del Mar has been magnificently reimagined to combine the lavish splendor of Italian palazzos with the natural grandeur of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. Indulge in afternoon tea as the San Diego sun casts its golden light through large arched windows, or linger into the evening over inspired tapas, cocktails, and elevated programming under the warm glow of Venetian glass chandeliers. Take in the beauty of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve —or while sipping a craft cocktail in the bar. In a specially commissioned mural that spans all four walls, artist Jim Wodark pays homage to the canyon’s most iconic elements: its ancient rocks, cascading waterfall, and distant mountains.Live entertainment Fridays and Saturdays 8:00 pm - 12:00 am.LIVE LIMITLESS - Join the rewards program designed with you in mind.

Located in the Sorrento Valley, California English is the newest culinary creation from celebrity chef, Richard Blais. Blais is creating an all-day menu for California English that’ll interpret classic British dishes through the lens of Southern California ingredients.The idea is a fusion of sorts: the laid-back California lifestyle that makes San Diego so unique, mixed with a cozy pub convivial atmosphere where you can meet friends (or mates) for a pint after work, set up a client lunch with fresh oysters on the menu or have a cozy family dinner over a Sunday roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes. The effortless vibe of casual yet stylish makes for the perfect place to celebrate the joy of the unexpected coming together to make the perfect culinary match.

    Food was delicious with many options. The fish selection was great, and super fresh! Desserts were also beautifully made and there were many appealing choices. Every one that we tasted ( almost all of them!) was perfect! Patio setting was delightful and the umbrella kept the sun off. Unfortunately our service was not attentive. Server did not wear a name tag and never introduced himself to us. He wasn’t around too much during our meal and did not offer refills of coffee or water. We noted that there was a 22% service change added to our bill, which provided a good tip for him ( we were told 18% goes to the server), so maybe he didn’t feel as if he needed to make an effort(?). Sad because we love the Park Hyatt and our experience is so much better when service shines as much as food does!

    The tea was lovely and the ambience in the lobby is nice. They had a huge issue at the valet with lost cars and lonnng waits but that should not deter you from this top notch tea!

    First time dining at this place. Nice, quiet and quaint place in Lemon Grove! Inside has limited seating but the patio is perfect for spring and summer for wine and charcuterie nights. Food was amazing! We had the steak, lamb chops and chicken Parmesan. For wine try Quest Cabernet. We were served by the owner himself and very knowledgeable when it comes to wine! We will be back!
