Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Sorrento Mesa

The food and ambiance are very strong. No pretense, but solid food. The service is top notch, especially from Willow, who was kind and excellent and thoughtful.

Amaya is always a great spot, we enjoy going for brunch and sitting on the terrace. Besim provides excellent service and always makes us feel welcome! There is no better place for a relaxing and beautiful location to enjoy with your family or a large group.

The lobby was beautifully decorated for the season. The tea options were wide with oolong to herbal all laid out with matching tea pots, cups and saucers. The sandwiches were a modern take on the traditional ones with a sweet potato and maple, salmon with pomegranate garnish, and a turkey salad brioche. The vanilla bean and fruit scones served with strawberry-blueberry jam and clotted cream were excellent. The desserts were also beautiful and delicious.

The setup was great- not all tables filled at different times allowed for a more relaxed environment. There was no rush to have us depart after finishing our meal. Food was terrific, and service was very friendly and attentive. The $260 per plate makes this a one time event but worth it on that basis.

Food was exceptional! Planning to come back with entire family.
