   I’ll be passing on Morads after 3 visits in last 3 months. First visit: inattentive, slow service. Second visit: slow service Last night mediocre food. Two orders of Cacio y Pepe were served barely warm. Same with salmon. We didn’t send back because I was leery of slow service. Patio setting is wonderful and we were entertaining Midwest visitors. Setting doesn’t outweigh spotty service and mediocre food.

   Excellent food. Great service. Very pretty setting, with the only drawback being a wedding was taking place while we were there, so we had to listen to their event. It seemed to be a bunch of nice people, and wasn't obnoxiously loud or anything, but it just makes it less cozy when the DJ is announcing the wedding party over a PA system.

   The patio seating was lovely and no glaring sun in our eyes at 6:45pm. The en fuego margarita was yummy as well as the short ribs and poblano chicken.

   One of my all-time favorite places. There is such a friendship that was formed years ago with some of the staff. Brandon and Christina are so incredible it truly makes my day to see them. I don't think I've ever had a meal there that hasn't been beyond delicious.

   Soup was good. However baked mac and cheese was bland, and the pasta was very watery. The portion control was way too huge. Should of been smaller and use better quality ingredients.

   I’m a local and try and avoid your restaurant when you have an outdoor event. Loud music, VERY poor service and not good dinners The server we had last night was the worst I have ever experienced there. I think name was Michael. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

    Food was limited and basically like an inexpensive highway restaurant. the Turkey club clearly had pre-packaged, deli sliced turkey. there were 3 choices of Pizza, 3 choices of mac & cheese, a hamburger, BBQ ribs, one salmon dish, and maybe a couple of other items on the menu. the fries were excellent, the rest of the food disappointing. the price? all items were between $19-38. corkage fee was $40 which I didn't realize until I got the bill. I brought a $200 bottle of wine though, so I guess I shouldn't be too upset.

    The patio area has a great ambiance, perfect for Sunday afternoon brunch and our server Taren, was absolutely delightful! Food options were pretty limited and not very flavorful, however the desserts were amazing. Maybe better just for drinks & desserts rather than a meal

    Absolutely greatest place for quiet restful meal- all day. Looking out over lawn just lowers blood pressure and sooooths emotions. Great place to take valued guest. Looking throughout inn very interesting. Best to check menu on-line rather limited. Prices about same as any other place of same caliber. go at off peak times valet parking. Highly recommend the experience.

    We've eaten here a number of times before, but probably never again. The breakfast was quite good (for Father's Day), and the service exceptional. But we heard other diners complaining about the new owner's plan to increase prices, which are already high. With absolutely "no" notice - we saw nothing on the menu - our bill included a mandated "20% Breakfast Gratuity" and something listed as "CABC" (we were told it was added to "help offset health insurance for the employees"). Just blatant deception. Whether the CABC charge actually goes to helping employees is anyone's guess - or just pads the hotel's bottom line so the new CEO can get his multi-million dollar bonus each year. Health insurance 'should' be a cost of doing business, not some special charge designed to jack up the bill for anyone foolish enough to eat there now. We heard the new owner plans to jack up the room rates to the $1,000/night range - good luck with that. While Rancho Santa Fe is a very nice area, there is virtually 'nothing' to do in the area. We're stayed there in years past, but clearly never again.

    Beware that the new management refuses to accept gift cards that were purchased before the change in ownership last month. This was not announced, anywhere or by anybody, not even communicated to the waitress. The manager on call seemed to make an effort to address our frustration, but his management clearly doesn’t care. It is a bad omen for how the new management considers their customers. They don’t live up to fixing an issue they either missed or bought and just push the problem to the customer. The food and ambience is delightful, which is why we were there in the first place.

    Our server, John, was wonderful. He was the best part of the evening experience. The food was only average- the tuna especially was below the quality of fish that we expect. We realize this is a transition period, and are hoping for better with the new ownership and chef. The outdoor dining space was very comfortable. We recommend Morada going forward with confidence the food issues will improve.

    Absolutely appalling service. It was not the waitresses' fault, but they were clearly understaffed and the kitchen was way backed up. I made an RSVP a month ago for Mother's Day. We ordered at noon and the food didn't come until gone 1 and it was cold. Really disappointing and will not be back.

    Always a lovely brunch here. Food was great, server was very slow but perhaps new. Do want to mention that when we stood up to leave, my husband realized on the walk into town where we parked, that I sat on what appears to be a large pile of berries. A good 6 inch by 3 inch stain formed on the back of my jeans, which so far hasn't completely come out.

    We have gone to the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe for years and loved every time, but today, we were disappointed. We brought an elderly friend to celebrate her Orthodox Easter. The food was not up to par at all. My Crab Benedict was so salty I could hardly eat it. The Mahi Sandwich was very mediocre which is unusual to have anything at The Inn not be great or special. Our server, Christoph was very distracted and every "ask" took a long time. The poor Hostess was running around bussing tables and trying to seat people with no help from any busser. It will be awhile until we come back.

    Before Covid, we used to come here quite regularly for weekend brunch. This was our first time after Covid, and it was a bit disappointing, mainly because service was rather slow. We sat at the table for 15 or 20 minutes, before a server showed up. It may be that this place, in common with quite a few others, has become a little bit short of staff. We noticed that the woman at the reception desk seemed to have to double up to bus some recently-vacated tables, and to deliver water and so on.

    Went for Sunday brunch and it was probably the worst omelette that I've ever had in my life. Dry, overcooked, and came ridiculously late. Cappuccino was terrible as well, arrived cold. Server was inattentive and after I asked for the check, he didn't come back to get my credit card. My friends all left for another event and I stood around at the bar for twenty minutes to get someone's attention to pay for the bill. Finally I was able to just hand a server the slip and some cash and left. Horrible experience.
