Best Seasonal Restaurants in Del Mar

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!!

We sat outside where it was an absolutely beautiful day able to watch the ocean waves roll in. Our waitress, Tiffany, was incredibly hospitable and offered suggestions from the menu. The house salad with lemon vinagrette was a lovely starter. The Shrimp and Crab Linguini was beautiful in its presentation and absolutely delicious!! Both went well with the Sauvignon Blanc that was ordered. I can't wait to return here!

I would absolutely dine again. There were interesting specials and the standard fare had great options. Food came out at a great pace. The service was impeccable and the ambiance was very enjoyable.
