Located in the Sorrento Valley, California English is the newest culinary creation from celebrity chef, Richard Blais. Blais is creating an all-day menu for California English that’ll interpret classic British dishes through the lens of Southern California ingredients.The idea is a fusion of sorts: the laid-back California lifestyle that makes San Diego so unique, mixed with a cozy pub convivial atmosphere where you can meet friends (or mates) for a pint after work, set up a client lunch with fresh oysters on the menu or have a cozy family dinner over a Sunday roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes. The effortless vibe of casual yet stylish makes for the perfect place to celebrate the joy of the unexpected coming together to make the perfect culinary match.

    What elevates Piatti head and shoulders above others in its class is their amazing attention to high quality offerings, superior service, and the little touches that make a celebration most memorable. When I made the reservation for the 3 of us older women, in the Open Table space for identifying a special occasion I noted that my wife Kathryn was turning 70. When we walked into the restaurant and were seated in their award-winning patio, as requested, we found that our printed menus had in the corner: "Happy 70th birthday, Kathryn." My wife was so thrilled that she took a picture and sent it to the rest of her family. That started a fabulous lunch accompanied by a bit of alcohol (excellent martinis and Mai Tais), their warm ciabatta with to-die-for olive-oil-and-spices (what are those spices? we wiped up every bit) for dipping, and three kinds of pastas: pappardelle, penne Bolognese, and rotolo. After getting our leftover paper boxes, the waitperson brought out 3 forks and a piece of tiramisu with a candle for Kathryn to make a wish on and blow out. She's not a fan of coffee, but in this instance, she said it didn't overwhelm the chocolate and light cake flavors. We're luck to live within 15 minutes of this establishment. Take a Lyft, it's in a popular neighborhood and street parking is always at a premium.

    This is really a great Christmas event! The server was great but he’s over worked. They need more server’s per Fire pit! The poor kid was running him self ragged. It would benefit the customers and staff if the staff served just 2 or 3 fire pits at a time!
