Best Casual Restaurants in Rancho Santa Fe

We had an enjoyable dining experience. Our waiter was attentive, the service was good and the food was tasty. We were a group of 8 (two families) and sat off to the side at a round table. It was a bit quieter there which was good for conversation. We will definitely return.

Always consistently good. Food is exceptionally flavourful, hot and meticulously prepared.

Came to Pacific Coast Grill for dinner and had a great experience overall. Our server was friendly, attentive, and checked in often without being overbearing. The Hot Stone Surf & Turf was a fun, interactive dish, though a little anxiety-inducing making sure everything was cooked correctly. The ahi was definitely better than the filet. The shrimp dumplings were the favorite of the night—the texture was phenomenal, and the sauce was sweet and flavorful. The sea bass had a light sauce that complemented it nicely. The salmon was cooked well, though it could have used a bit more sauce to balance out the amount of rice. It leaned on the sweeter side, which matched the menu description. The lobster was cooked well though there was nothing remarkable about it. For dessert, the tempura bananas and apple pie were a perfect way to end the night. Definitely a great spot for a meal with a view! You should plan on valeting your car.

Excellent setting, incredible service, wonderful food. Perfect evening dinner thank you

Nice quiet place to enjoy an evening out. Decent martini.
