Best French Restaurants in Solana Beach

Valentine's dinner with my wife. We love coming here and try and make it a once-a-month affair. Can get a bit noisy sometimes—but the food and service are worth it. We always bring our own wine. The corkage fee is $35.

A wonderful experience! Went with my wife to Valentine’s Day. She was immediately charmed by the relaxed ambience and then blown away by the five-course meal. The ingredients and taste combinations were delicious. I don’t drink so they paired each course with perfect no-alcoholic drinks . My wife’s food was paired with very interesting alcoholic beverages which enhanced her courses. Staff was excellent: smart, down-to-earth and attentive. Highly Recommended!

Once again San Diegos's first ever James Beard Award finalist,@tara.monsod, Executive Chef @lecoq.sd brought her passion to the table. Everything prepared to perfection & paced beautifully. Ambiance is classy & have a welcoming atmosphere, Service is top notch . Wishing everyone a night filled with love & joy!

Did not care for the fixed Valentine's dinner menu but that was our fault for not realizing that when we booked the reservation. Our server was lovely but there seemed to be a lag between courses which likely was a kitchen issue? Portions were small. Stopped somewhere afterwards so my partner could have a snack. Lovely ambiance as always. Will go back but not likely when a fixed menu is offered.

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.
