Amaya

Expect the unexpected coming here. After finding out this establishment is as beautiful as it was being a French restaurant, I was a little surprised to see that some very famous French cuisine was not on their menu. This became an issue for me, but also a moment to experience new things in the culinary world. Turns out the CDC is nuts and wants an eclectic French menu. He sure put a good one together. As a salad, I chose the baby lettuce with herb vinaigrette and long shavings of cucumber. Overall, the salad was delicious and the vinaigrette a new tating experience to enjoy. We both shared a very impressive and delicious French Onion Soup. It was a little messy to eat, but it was incredible and full of taste. We also ordered brioche bread that came out with sprinklings of everything bagel seasoning. They kick it for the bread was the fresh honey butter that was made every day. The honey was harvested just outside of the hotel on the golf course. For dinner, I chose the parisienne gnocchi with English peas, leeks and a creamy buttery sauce. The gnocchi was soft as pillows and plentiful. My girlfriend had a very surprising pork chop that smelled like ham from far away. It had Lardons, brussels sprouts and cannellini beans. It was perfectly cooked and had quite a delicious taste. For dessert, my girlfriend had chocolate soufflé with a passionfruit ice cream and she thought it was very good. The combination of the sorbet and the soufflé complemented each other. I ordered the apple tartin which was truly fascinating, considering that they shaved off the skin, spiraled it out like a ringlet and wrapped it again tightly like it was "bubble tape". The Crème fraîche and whiskey toffee caramel was fantastic. Again, I was shocked that they didn't have crème brûlée on their dessert menu, but our choices were very impressive . The service was quite great and I would highly recommend that anyone try it at least once.

Place is beautiful but the food is subpar and pricey for what you get. Kids meals are only free if you are staying at the hotel. Not a big deal ($20 a plate) but would have been nice to know coming in.Got the scallop appetizer and it tasted like apple sauce on thawed scallops from Costco. My steak was decent but my wife's dish was way too salty. Total bill was $300 for the four of us.

We ate here for brunch, and my biggest complaint was the service. For being at a very nice hotel, I expected more from this place, and looked forward to eating here. Sadly we were disappointed and that put a damper on the experience. They were not even busy, there were various open tables available, and yet we waited awhile to be seated outside. No biggie we didn't mind waiting for the patio, but it didn't stop here. Staff apologized for the initial wait and yet the service proceeded to be lacking. The server brought us pastries for the wait and then disappeared. Finally he took our drink order, and we waited for over 15 minutes. All of the drinks arrived except for the orange juice. You would think they were out in an orange grove, hand picking the oranges, and freshly squeezing the fruit for the one cup of orange juice. So by this time we have eaten the pastries and the kids are saying they are still really hungry. After what seemed like an eternity when your kids are waiting to eat, we flagged down the server. We had him put the kids order of pancakes in first, in hopes to expedite their meals. That didn't happen and all our food came out together. We were not checked on during our meal, we didn't have water, and the server was no where to be found. For the prices you pay I would have expected better service. The food and drinks are on the high side, the view was nice, and the food was good. Other than that, this place alright. Nothing special here. Why pay more when you can pay less and get better service at Chilis. Just saying.

Fancy golf course? Check. Fancy restaurant inside the resort? Check. Prices that match what you would expect? Check. Is the food good? Read on to find out more.My wife told me that a Michelin-starred restaurant was located at this golf resort, and no it is not this one. We decided to check it out for dinner anyway.The restaurant is located deep inside the Fairmont Golf Resort, which is gated, so you have to tell the gatekeeper that you are heading to the restaurant. Parking is valet only and there is a small fee of $7 to park.The restaurant is located one floor below the main lobby after you make a left in the foyer. The receptionist greeted us and promptly seated us. We had multiple wait staff come and introduce themselves and showed us the menu. They checked on us periodically and described our dishes to us in detail.We ordered the homemade Parker roll and the pork chop to share. The roll was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the whipped butter with the housemade jam was fantastic. The porkchop had a crispy exterior, tender interior, and the flavor profile was quite enjoyable.The price of one appetizer and one entree set us back roughly $64 before tax and tip. As expected of an upscale hotel restaurant.All in all, it was a good experience for us. If this restaurant is this good, I certainly hope the Addison (the one with the Michelin Star) will blow us away when we try that one.

Nothing beats starting the day with breakfast in a beautiful environment, being seated in an open air terrace and surround by the gardens.Had the Dungeness Crab Benedict, and Açaí Bowl. Service throughout the entire resort was spot on.

Located at the Fairmont, we ate lunch and dinner there during our 3 day stay.Lunch: I had chilaquiles and hubby had octopus. Shared a salad. Food came out very slow for some reason, but it was fine when it came out. Service was nice but not very smooth.Dinner: We both had fish, sea bass and halibut. Also we had oysters with Parker rolls. I liked my halibut, but hubby wasn't a big fan of his sea bass. Oysters were good, and we loved the Parker rolls.In general, I wouldn't go out of my way for the restaurant, but it is a very nice option if you're staying at the hotel. The menu is somewhat limited, but the ambiance and the convenience is great.

Robert. Allow me to explain. Perfection. Masterpiece. Brilliant. I'm not talking about the food. I'm talking about Robert. If you have the opportunity to be served by Robert, go buy a lottery ticket because it's your lucky day. We left it up to Robert to decide what we would have for dinner. Every recommendation from the Veuve to the Chateauneuf du pape to the escargot, petrossian caviar to the wagyu tomahawk was divine. His exquisite wine paining would be admired by a trained sommelier. This was better than any meal be have had in Europe. Compliments to the chef and the kitchen team for a magnificent and refreshingrevitalization of their menu. Bravo!!!

Beautiful restaurant inside the Grand Del Mar. the food was absolutely delicious - got a Croque Madame and it was perfect. The orange juice was freshly squeezed and sweet. The service was also great. Got to try the dessert which was a mascarpone with mango and passion fruit.. Devine! I can't wait to go back. What a treat.

I had a great brunch here. I was greeted right away, they asked my name which they used the rest of the time, and had a great table outside. Adan was a great waiter. I asked him to surprise me with a mimosa flavor and instead of one regular size mimosa, he brought me 3 smaller ones of different flavors which was awesome! I also enjoyed the food. Michael the GM also stopped by to chat and made sure I had an activities schedule. Great experience!

Food was ok, not great but not bad. Service is not its strong suit. Often waited an oddly long time to be seated, served - really anything and it was never busy. Very unclear why it was not working better in a Fairmont run setting. The prices here also were just outrageous even for a hotel. I would expect a lot more variety and quality for what you get. Probably would avoid eating here for anything other than breakfast.
