Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Rancho Santa Fe

Amazing! Don’t really want to share how great it is, because I want to keep it all to myself, but such a great experience - friendly, attentive, and delicious.

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. :)

Great time, great food. Beautiful place and great service.

RSF Gem! It was busier/louder than usual bc it was Valentine’s Day. Great V-Day Prix Fixe Menu choices - which is why we chose to dine here. Both meals were perfectly cooked - lobster tail with risotto & string beans and filet mignon with potato gratin & asparagus. N&G’s is our go to for a filet over Ruth’s or newcomer “48” and never disappoints. We ordered bread pudding off their regular menu after seeing it a nearby table and it was unbelievable. Our friendly server, Diego, provided excellent service. Their regular menu is great too - we’re big fans of the short ribs and scallops. Highly recommend dining at N&G’s - one of our favorites for a great overall dining experience.

I love this hotel ! The decor is absolutely beautiful at the Fairmont Grande! The Amaya is in the hotel. We were there on a Friday night. I couldn't believe how uncrowded it was. If you like quiet, uncrowded elegance and delicious food this is a go-to. The Amaya is a beautiful restaurant. My only critique is that the lighting could have been just a little dimmer to enhance the romantic feel of the restaurant. Otherwise I love everything about this hotel. Even the decor in the restroom is a work of art.
