Located in the Sorrento Valley, California English is the newest culinary creation from celebrity chef, Richard Blais. Blais is creating an all-day menu for California English that’ll interpret classic British dishes through the lens of Southern California ingredients.The idea is a fusion of sorts: the laid-back California lifestyle that makes San Diego so unique, mixed with a cozy pub convivial atmosphere where you can meet friends (or mates) for a pint after work, set up a client lunch with fresh oysters on the menu or have a cozy family dinner over a Sunday roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes. The effortless vibe of casual yet stylish makes for the perfect place to celebrate the joy of the unexpected coming together to make the perfect culinary match.

• Steakhouse • University City/Golden Triangle
Booked 54 times today
The Amalfi Llama reimagines the culinary landscape by seamlessly merging the allure of a rustic live-fire steakhouse with the flavors of Italian cuisine, a culinary haven where genuine cooking, down-to-earth cuisine and stylish flair intertwine. Guests embark on a journey from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy as they indulge in a multisensory experience that transcends boundaries – from the soothing cream decor to the intimate ambiance of crackling embers accompanied by the melodies of vintage Italian vinyls. Embracing the essence of a modern farmhouse, The Amalfi Llama revolves around an open parrilla grill and wood-burning oven, harnessing fire, smoke, coals and embers to craft dishes. The restaurant’s ethos also meets design with Latin American and Mediterranean influences, resulting in an inviting environment adorned with light woods, natural light and subtly elegant finishes, defying traditional steakhouse and Italian restaurant conventions.

    What a great evening-dining unexpected experience AmalfiLama was!! Special mention: Rodrigo (from Hawai), Hector (manager) all staff was OnPoint. 5 stars .- excellent service. Nice surprise: the wine list. Note: in my experience dining in restaurants sponsored by famous athletes or famous movie personalities, usually focus on “them” and not the food or quality in the “overall” dining. AmalfiLama prioritized in quality, service, flavor. The food concept is clearly carefully selected to have perfect pairing ingredients in the way these are cooked. Smokiness, chard, infused, all are excellent. Best way to prepare lobster is here. Our findings: broccolinis comes with garlic infused chili oil, try a bite of the garlic and ribeye together, taste the magic. One more: the flowerless chocolate dessert and the compote (raspberry) vanilla ice cream. Our family of 6 had a wonderful time dining here and we are happy to share our experience. Yes! We recommend AmalfiLama.

    6pm reservation. Very, very loud club music. Had to yell to speak to the guests at our own table. Their music choice and volume ruined the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant.

    Love this hidden gem. The staff are fabulous, the food is delicious with beautiful presentation and their craft cocktails are magic. Amazing happy hour and a fun tipsy tea. Don’t forget to try the scones. Gorgeous outside area as well especially when the weather is nice. Haven’t tried the Sunday brunch yet but I can’t wait to get there soon.
