Best Romantic Restaurants in San Marcos

There are always many ways to praise Valentina, but in few words it is one of the best, if not the best, dining experiences in all of San Diego county.

The food and the service here is above and beyond excellent. A bit pricey, as is everywhere else. Our only discomfort was the noise level - it was difficult to carry on a conversation. But this is one of our favorite go-to places and so will return - and highly recommend it!

Mille Fleurs is a true gem, offering an exceptional dining experience that is second to none. From the moment we stepped into the warm, elegant ambiance, we knew we were in for something special. The attention to detail in both the decor and service is impeccable, making it perfect for a romantic evening or a celebratory meal. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the service. Rob, our server, went above and beyond to ensure every moment was flawless. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine warmth made us feel like honored guests. He was knowledgeable about the menu and wine pairings, offering fantastic recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. As for the food—simply exquisite. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The seasonal ingredients were clearly of the highest quality, and the chef’s creativity shone through in every bite. From the appetizers to the decadent dessert, each course was a masterpiece. Mille Fleurs offers not just a meal, but a memorable experience. With outstanding service (thank you, Rob!) and extraordinary cuisine, this is a restaurant I can’t recommend highly enough. We’re already planning our next visit!

As usual my friends and I had a wonderful time at Vintana Happy Hour. We switch up restaurants every once in awhile for our Happy Hours. Vintana is always a wonderful experience. Tip the waiters well. They are so worth it!!!!

Rachel was a great server- knowledgeable and attentive. We were celebrating a birthday - was a great place to celebrate. Food was delicious and the mescal drink was great.
