Best American Restaurants in Cardiff By The Sea

This is one of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant! The coconut shrimp was out of this world and the Wild Isle salmon was phenomenal. The drinks are excellent as well. On top of this our server, I think his name is Sean or John, was attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about all of the food and drink options. 

We had a lovely anniversary lunch at Jake's, sitting at an ocean front window table. Fabulous view, great service. We shared the fish tacos and the seafood chowder. The kitchen was nice enough to split the orders into two for no extra charge. Our server also gave us the choice of a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We chose chocolate peanut butter torte to share. It was delicious, but we couldn’t finish it. We had the Hula Pie at Duke’s in Maui, so we chose to try something else. We did have a taste of Hawaii with a very good Duke’s Mai Tai. Will be back if we visit Del Mar again! Also, use Jake's valet parking, which was $8 at lunch. We used the public parking across the street, which was a minimum of $25 for two hours.

Brilliant food and service. Would go more often if a few more vegi / vegan options. Some great wines but perhaps the pours seems a tad skimpy. Overall a truly great place.

Always great food and amazing oceanfront view! The food is consistently great and the seasonal additions to the menu are fabulous!

Hannah was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Her service was timely and the food was great! We’ll be back!
