Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

Beeside Balcony is a hidden gem in old Del Mar, CA with a relaxed seaside chic décor where guests enjoy global mediterranean cuisine and ocean views from the covered outside balcony.

A third generation chef of Spanish and Italian descent, and hailing form Paris, France, Christophe's restaurant career began at 17 in the kitchen of his father's restaurant in Pasadena when they first emigrated to the USA. Upon returning to southern California in 2011, Christophe spent 8 years as the managing partner of Eddie V's Prime Seafood in La Jolla. Here he deepened his knowledge of sourcing and cooking the freshest seafood available, while delivering world class service. The laid back coastal vibe of Del Mar, combined with the attention to detail from Christophe's fine dining background, infuses Beeside Balcony with an easy elegance that elevates any gathering, and makes the perfect backdrop to showcase his global mediterranean menu.

We come to celebrate our anniversary. No free dessert.. The service was slow. The octopus was chewy and chopped (last time a year ago it was whole nice tender octopus). But the oysters are fresh and delicious, specially the sauce! Must have

Service was great, the heaters in the balcony so appreciated and cozy. Loved the vibe and the food was lovely too (really enjoyed the trip with crudité, scallops yummy, pesto shrimp linguini my fave). Wish I’d come earlier in the evening for the views, but it was still great.

Incredibly disappointing experience. Our server, Kip, let us know that today was his first dinner service, and it definitely showed. I do believe he's new to service industry in general, based on his demeanor. For one of our entrees, we ordered the Denver steak, medium rare. Not only was it overcooked, but it was incredibly chewy and very tough on the mouth. I only took 2 bites (one cut from the end, one from the middle) and called him over. Said I was unhappy with the steak altogether and would not be eating it as he could clearly see based off my plate. He did not apologize, did not ask me if I would like to order another entree in it's place, did not offer to comp any part of the steak, either entirely or half the amount, just ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. At least my date was apologetic, not to mention embarrassed to have brought me here. We asked for the check and went downstairs to enjoy Mezcal Margaritas and Tacos instead, and the vibe and food there helped make up for the miserable service and food at Beeside Balcony.
