Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Sorrento Valley

Varied menu with many options. Gluten free options as well. Food tasty and prepared well. Service was very good. Outside tables are nicely spaced and comfortable. Heaters worked well. Unfortunately every table is by a speaker and the manager was willing to reduce the volume a little and that was barely tolerable. For this reason I will only do take out in the future. The noise level of the music made it very difficult to comfortably talk and fully relax. Who enjoys this level of music while dining?!

We were two couples. We had a great table. We all enjoyed adult beverages, appetizers, entrees and desert. The food was delicious. Our waiter and support staff couldn’t have been better. A very upscale dining experience. A special evening out, for sure.

Jake’s is so perfect for a special night! The food was great!! Started w a very generous and tasty crab cake (we shared and it was ample!) followed by a crisp and delish Ceasar salad and hubby had the chowder (it was “okay”) and then our entrees…soooo good…I had the halibut and it was flaky and fab…hubby had the crusted ahi which he thoroughly enjoyed! Our mai tai and old fashioned cocktails were awesome as well! Our server, Mike, was attentive and helpful! We were also delighted to have a card waiting for us at the table to wish us a Happy Anniversary and they treated us to Hula pie! 😋🤩👏🏻 Well done, Jake’s Team!!

The food and the service here is above and beyond excellent. A bit pricey, as is everywhere else. Our only discomfort was the noise level - it was difficult to carry on a conversation. But this is one of our favorite go-to places and so will return - and highly recommend it!

Brigantine Del Mar has been a go to restaurant for my wife and I for years. Great view, great food and service, every time. Our waiter was Caleb and he went above and beyond with the service. We will continue to go back to Brigantine.
