Coastline - DEL MAR

Perfect spot for a sunny or rainy day! My friend I decided to try this restaurant tucked away in a classy area in Del Mar. The happy hour was recommended , however we were too early and decided to eat at the actual restaurant rather than the lobby. It 's a very dog friendly establishment, I saw three of the bigger breeds during my short visit. The restaurant is placed in center of the hotel and is valet only (no fee- just tips . Our table over looked the courtyard and the pool. It was raining this particular day so the view of the ocean wasn 't as pretty as it would be on a clear day. They had remote controlled plastic pull down walls to shield customers from rain. The vibe feels like you should dress up, however on a Friday afternoon I dressed very casual and didn 't look out feel out of place. The drink selection on the menu are very grown up , no thrills but strong ; . I tried the swordfish sandwich, which apparently was a new addition and very popular. The fish was moist not dry , but the flavor was mid. The tartar sauce definitely dressed up the flavor of the sandwich, but personally I 'd enjoy it more if it had some seasoning.

I went here for brunch with a girlfriend on a clear day which does add to the ambiance of the place. All my rating is for the food and the ambiance, service not so much. Food Drinks: The food is good, I really liked the quinoa bowl and the shakshuka. The cocktails were potent and delicious. Service: The service was a bit slow and scattered. Our server didn't seem to want to pay attention to us. He wouldn't come to take our food order, we had two drinks(which some other server randomly came and took order for) by the time he finally came in for lunch order. At first, I thought he had just forgotten but he pulled the same stunt for some other aspects of the service. The food took forever to come in too. Ambiance: This place has a beautiful ocean-view dining room, which I am sure would be wonderful at dinnertime. Absolutely stunning area. Logistics: They have valet parking which makes it so much easy because all nearby roads suck at the parking sitch and there's no lot or anything nearby. The valets are super sweet folks and very helpful. In all: I'd love to try this place for dinner soon. Overall good experience.

How have I never heard of this place?! While this restaurant is definitely pricey, it's great for a special occasion! Our family came here to watch the sunset. If you walk a bit across the restaurant, it has the most beautiful view of the beach and Del Mar. There was live music going and the ambiance was just perfect. Service was amazing! Our waiter explained everything to us just like a food critic and took the time to make recommendations. We took all of his recommendations and they were all absolutely amazing! The charcoal grilled oysters were a must-have and the Spanish octopus was so tender! Not chewy at all. For the entrees, the star of the show was the chicken. Super unexpected, but our waiter told us the chicken has been on the menu for 6 years. It was so tender--even the chicken breast! For dessert, we got the cheesecake. Wowow! Must order for sure. We will be back soon--for a special occasion though.

Great ambiance with OK food. I tried their Caesar salad and Crème brûlée. The salad was very interesting with well dressed whole lettuce leaves and crunchy croutons. And the dessert was good, can't really go wrong with the pick.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious beautiful night here at Adelaide. The ambiance is 10/10 with live music and amazing yummy food. Adelaide is perfect for catching the sunset while enjoying the summer air.
