Restaurants near Del Rosa Shopping Center

We booked this on the night of the Mission Inn Christmas lights festival kickoff. We were not disappointed. First of all, you get special access to the hotel, lobby and light show with a reservation. That alone saves tons of time and the burden of standing in long lines in the cold. Then there's the restaurant... What a beautiful example of early 19th Century California architecture and craftsmanship. All of the finishes from the molding and tile to the details in the Christmas decorations are beautiful. I felt like I was in a Bing Crosby movie - in Technicolor. Finally, the food and service are both 5 star! The buffet we enjoyed was curated with high quality, well made classics like shrimp cocktail, prime rib, salad bar and all the fixings. Beverages like lemonade and coffee were included. The service was friendly and very attentive. Just get here early for this festival. It took us almost an hour to get in and find parking, and the negotiate the crowds to get here from the lot. Crazy busy, but so, so worth it.

We enjoyed Kevin and got to catch up with Sam also!! The staff is just OUTSTANDING!!! Always a wonderful experience.

Each time my Canadian friend visits me she makes sure we go to Caprice for the amazingly delicious lamb chops. We started with the handcrafted lemon drops, Greek salad and a fine Bordeaux wine with the recommendation of the staff to go with our main course! Then, the dessert, a decadent masterpiece apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream. The staff is always so welcoming and wonderful!

I asked to be seated in a booth that is quiet as my son is autistic. We were seated in a high traffic area by the front door. The hostess didn’t seem to care. I asked my son and he said he will try to sit quietly. Had the host looked at my comment, perhaps she would have seated us in a less trafficked area…

Overall a great place for everyone, seniors too. Just don't be in a hurry.
