Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Cardiff By The Sea

Great experience! Food did not disappoint and did not feel overpriced. Heard wonderful things about the service which was a little bit slow for us but it was Valentine’s Day and they had a seating at every table so that was understandable. We texted both of our parents from the table to wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day and tell them that we’ll bring them to The Pony Room the next time they’re in town. :)

This place never disappoints. Everything that I have had here has been absolutely delicious. The focaccia is nice and fluffy, the bucatini is so flavorful, the Margherita pizza is perfect, and the Tiramisu makes for a perfect dessert.

Drove in from Temecula—short beautiful drive through the mountains. Immediately found parking nearby across the street from Mille Fleurs. The ambience is like no other; old school wood, decor and menu with something for everyone. Love that the menu had favorites that were 40 years old. Had the almond crusted seabass that was so tender. The beet salad was perfect—don’t forget to eat the accompanying horseradish dressing. Don’t skip the bread and butter. Wonderful gem in Rancho Santa Fe.

Our entrees arrived dry…not nearly as moist and flavorful as same entree servings in past visits That said, love the outdoor seating ambiance

Amazing food, first of all. The service was good, the staff was very attentive to all patrons and it wasn't one individual person, the entire staff is there to help. The menu is a great assortment of various breakfast items with many of them being signature dishes. My table ordered the Chicken Marsala, the Reuben sandwich, Loaded Fries, Short Rib Hash and a single pancake. The Chicken Marsala was juicy and the marsala sauce and mushrooms were just so tasty and perfect and it was paired with some DELICIOUS potatoes and asparagus. If you are a Chicken Marsala fan, I would highly recommend this!! The Reuben sandwich was just delicious. The amount of Corned Beef in the sandwich was enormous and the servings size is HUGE, paired with some of the best crispy fries I've had, next to of course their LOADED Fries! The same crispy fries but now just with their white cheddar sauce and chunks of bacon, that was the HIT at our table!! Lastly was the Short Rib Hash, the potatoes again were amazing and the tender juicy chunks of Beef Short Rib were just everywhere in that bowl, and all topped off with a fried egg!! This place is great, the vibe is calming and not loud, perfect breakfast spot to just meet up, enjoy a meal and have a great conversation without having to battle all the other conversations that other restaurants deal with. This is just a great place!!
