    The view was amazing but the restaurant is dated and the noise level was extremely high.

    I ordered the Surfing Steak: the cauliflower tasted “fishy”, I couldn’t even eat it. The steak was mostly raw and chewy (I asked for medium well) The bbq rib starter was fine. Just underwhelming for the price … I’ve eaten here many times and was really disappointed

    The seafood bowl was terrible. I don’t know what that flavor was from but the broth was really bad. I have had similar dishes before and never tasted like that. My kids got chicken tenders that were apparently cooked to an internal temperature of the surface of the sun cause it was so dry. The only good things we had were the Brussel Sprouts and Calamari. We barely saw the waitress. Great location and view but pick somewhere else for good food and service.

    Poor service affected the whole experience. Right after we ordered a large table was seated. Our server was very busy with them and we were totally ignored. We asked four people for a drink refill. We ordered dessert and after waiting 30 minutes we told a different server we no longer wanted the dessert and we would take the check so we could leave. Some time after that, our server brought the dessert which we turned down. If our server was overwhelmed, someone else should have been asked to take over our table. Very disappointed that our last dinner in Del Mar ended on a bad note!
