Best Tapas Restaurants in Del Mar

Shared a few plates, everything was delicious. Mushroom toast, meatballs, yellowtail sashimi. Lovely bottle of Bordeaux. 2nd time at Echale. Does not disappoint. 👍🏻👍🏻

The lobby was beautifully decorated for the season. The tea options were wide with oolong to herbal all laid out with matching tea pots, cups and saucers. The sandwiches were a modern take on the traditional ones with a sweet potato and maple, salmon with pomegranate garnish, and a turkey salad brioche. The vanilla bean and fruit scones served with strawberry-blueberry jam and clotted cream were excellent. The desserts were also beautiful and delicious.

Other than the very loud group next to our table, the experience was great. I made a last minute reservation, was 15 minutes late, and was still able to secure my table through text to indicate I was on my way. The food and drinks were great, especially the Brussels sprouts. I just wish they would reconsider how the Caesar salad is presented. And thanks to Joseph, our waiter.

It was our first time of checking Captain’s Quarters. Great atmosphere, gin based cocktails with festive ones for holidays season, holiday decorations around. We’ve had a great time

The Mothership is an experience. From the entrance, decor, service and food. I truly enjoyed the donuts. I also had the noodles and tofu. If you’re alone you’ll be seated at the bar. I believe it was the best seat in the restaurant. If I’m ever in the area again, I’d try their sister restaurant too.
