The WineSellar & Brasserie
Price: Expensive•French•4.8(1,029)Established in 1988, The WineSellar & Brasserie is San Diego's premiere destination for fine wine and exquisitely crafted locally sourced, organic fare.
Consistently ranked among OpenTable's Top 10 local restaurants, The Brasserie has been honored with either Wine Spectator's "Grand Award" and "Best Of Award Of Excellence" every year since our inception.
With your meal, enjoy a bottle from the adjoining WineSellar boutique wine shop or choose a wine from our award-winning list. Either way, you’ll find an outstanding selection of unique small-production wines not found anywhere else. Not in the mood for wine? Choose from our rotating list of craft beers or seasonally available craft cocktails.California English
Price: Expensive•American•4.7(588)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.

- JJoseSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoRestaurant is now open for LUNCH and it was perfect. Had lunch with a client and everyone was happy with the food and environment. Service was outstanding and honestly felt as if we were away from our world for a bit. Rigoberto and Gabriel topped it off with great service and made sure that we will definitely be coming back again. Definitely recommend for anyone to give them a shot.More infoLucreziaPrice: Expensive• Italian• La Jolla•4.5
