    We celebrated our birthdays with family. Del Mar takes Spanish food above excellence. Every dish exceeded expectations. The service was over the top and since we were celebrating birthday the staff placed us in a private room with a great view of the National Wharf. I have followed Fabio since his days in Maestro and his cuisine seems to set new standards.

    Have been to Del Mar several times now and everything is delicious. The food is thoughtfully done with simplicity but bursting with flavor. Highly recommended.

    We had to wait about an hour and 15 minutes for our reservation (we chose outdoor seating) so that wasn’t fun at all BUT the service, comp champagne, and comp dessert more than made up for it. Not to mention, that was the best meal I’d had in quite a long time. Compliments to the chef.

    I’ve been here multiple times but i made it a point to come once they opened back up to show my support for one of my favorite restaurants. I specifically come for the seafood paella and I’m always satisfied with the quality and the service.

    The food was great, the tapas were smaller but still a good portion. We got to try several different amazing dishes, definitely a great experience. The staff was very nice and friendly.

    I'm not sure if they were understaffed, but service was very slow. It took 20 minutes to get our sangria. Our server suggested some bread while we waited for our paella,which would take 30 minutes, but the bread came a minute before the paella. We knew the restaurant was pricey but didnt expect the portions to be so small. Our paella for two had 2 prawns, maybe 6 mussels, and a few pieces of seafood. The rice was stuck to the skillet it was served in. After $200 we left hungry. The open air dining area, under a big tent, is in an unfortunate location, in the middle of a u-turn for traffic coming off the street. It all made for a not-so-pleasant dining experience. On the plus-side the hostesses were very charming and pleasant.
