Amaya at Fairmont Grand Del Mar combines the spirit of a beloved Parisian brasserie with a farm- and sea-to-table philosophy that celebrates the bounty of Southern California. Savor modern renditions of French brasserie classics including a hearty bouillabaisse, escargot, duck cassoulet, fruits de mer tour and tender filet de boeuf. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner in the shaded terrace surrounded by fragrant blooms, or immerse yourself in the convivial atmosphere of our indoor dining room.

Amaya’s menu is defined as much by an allegiance to French tradition as it is to Southern California’s bounty through the seasons.

Our waiter was very aloof and not interested. There were only a few tables with guests, Our food was awful - actually my husband and I took one bite and that was it. 1. Hamburger- smash burger? Very unappealing with a lot of sauce, cold fries. 2. I had butter lettuce salad - there were only two leaves that were not totally wilted - with strips of limp cucumber added that were also limp. 3. The waiter asked if I wanted to add “ Protein?” The chicken came in a side plate/ dry and cold. This was a very unfortunate experience. It’s a beautiful property.

I recently dined at Amaya during restaurant week, which featured an appetizer and entrée for $45, with an optional dessert for an additional $9. This was my first visit to the property, and I was struck by the hotel's beautiful "old money" charm. The complimentary valet service was a pleasant bonus. My friend and I were seated outside, enjoying picturesque views of the golf course and the lawn area. However, the service left much to be desired. We waited about 20 minutes before any staff acknowledged us, and we had to request the restaurant week menu as it wasn't provided initially. For our appetizers, we both opted for the French onion soup, which was flavorful and satisfying. Unfortunately, the entrée was a disappointment. We each ordered the burger, which turned out to be excessively salty and overcooked. Additionally, the presence of pickles on the burger was neither disclosed on the menu nor mentioned by the waiter, which was an issue for me as I don't like pickles. I opted for a side salad with my burger and it was one of the worst salads I have ever had with root lettuce and no other veggies as I expected. I also added the dessert and it was the best thing I had. Our dining experience stretched over 2.5 hours due to the slow service. On a brighter note, we witnessed a lovely bride and groom's first look at a wedding taking place on the lawn, which added a touch of romance to the afternoon. After our meal, we strolled around the grounds, which are truly beautiful and well-maintained. The venue also hosts tea parties, adding to its allure. Overall, while the setting at Amaya is undeniably attractive, the combination of poor service and subpar food doesn't offer good value for money. I am uncertain if I would return.

The food was outstanding, but the seating arrangement was definitely awkward : we were 4 and were seated at a round table for 6/8 people! It made it hard to communicate

Chef and staff (back of kitchen to wait staff) were fabulous with their service, courtesy and attention to details. All courses from Starters to Entrees were all presented beautifully with memorable palates. Cocktail and wine pairings were delicious and enjoyable. Outside became chilly towards the end of our meal. Host Michael provided a light hotel blanket to keep my legs warm and upped the heat lamps for an even more enjoyable dinner.
