Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in San Ysidro

Another great meal at Clementine! Service was outstanding as well -- attentive but not intrusive, as well as very helpful with the menu. We (my wife and I) shared a beet salad and baked brie with truffle. She had their salmon and I had their Maine scallops. Great seafood prepared perfectly: moist and seared well, served with perfect complementary garnishes. We shared their Clementine crunch bar for dessert: just perfect as a light finish for our meal. Our cocktails were also delightful.

Restaurant Claudine is a charming dining spot set in an old house, giving it a cozy, intimate atmosphere with several rooms to enjoy your meal. The food was absolutely amazing—my Steak and Frites was perfectly cooked, and my wife’s Halibut was a standout dish as well. I appreciate that their menu changes frequently, offering a fresh experience each visit. The only drawback was the acoustics. With so many hard surfaces and the lively energy of people talking and laughing, it was quite noisy, making it difficult to hear the server explain the menu items. Overall, if you’re seeking exceptional food in a unique setting, Restaurant Claudine is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a vibrant, bustling ambiance!

Everything was beautiful: The champagne, the nibblies, the outstanding staff, the proprietor, the decor and ambience.
