Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Solana Beach

We’ve been going to the Brigantine for 40 years (yikes!), and we usually sit in the bar and have fish tacos and the best oysters Rockefeller in the world. Last night we ate in the restaurant like grown up’s and the food and service was spectacular.

Fantastic experience, great food & staff was very helpful, welcoming and nice. Look forward to coming back and trying the regular menu.

We have been regulars at Jake’s over the years. It’s about the best atmosphere you could ask for. It’s very exclusive but very beach casual which makes it so comfortable. Great service every time we go there. They don’t serve the main course until you are ready…this is such an exception to most restaurants around town that are pushing you to finish and move on. All around thumbs up!!!

Pacific Coast Grill has truly become our favorite restaurant, and we make it a point to celebrate all of our special occasions here. Every time we visit, the food never disappoints, but this time there were a couple of standouts that really made our experience unforgettable. The Cardiff Reef Roll was absolutely incredible, and the Alaskan Halibut was cooked to perfection—so flavorful and tender, it truly exceeded our expectations. Even though Pacific Coast Grill isn't a dedicated sushi spot, their sushi is unbelievable. It's always fresh, flavorful, and crafted with such care. It’s a pleasant surprise every time. We also really enjoyed the Pinot Gris from Willamette, which was the perfect pairing with our meal. The wine selection here always complements the dishes so well. Lastly, the valet service was impeccable. They were kind, professional, and made sure our car was parked right up front, so we didn't have to wait in the rain. It’s little touches like this that make a big difference in the overall experience. We can't wait to come back and continue celebrating more special moments here!

Absolutely outstanding!! My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary, it was our first time dining here and we were floored. Our server, Jillian, guided us through the menu and gave us amazing recommendations! From the 1st course to the last, she made everything special. We ended with a small beignet tree and the house made cookies, along with a super thoughtful anniversary card. Yes it is pricey, but so worth it. The food, service, and ambience were beyond exemplary. Thank you Jillian and Steak 48!
