California English

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner for two here at California English. I haven’t found a restaurant like this is San Diego yet and this one is definitely worth it. Our server, also bartender, had some great recommendations and was very attentive. You have to get the date pudding, I don’t care how full you are, it is the best dessert I’ve ever had.

Go here now. Wanted to go before it opened and finally got my boyfriend to go. The menu on their website is outdated but you’ll still find plenty of tasty things to eat. The restaurant is gorgeous, of course. The drinks are delightful. The food was fantastic. Highly recommend the scotch egg (outstanding), Fish and chips (naturally), beef tartare, oxtail pasty, and sweet corn soup. Will definitely be going back.

Had a wonderful lunch that was elevated by the exceptional service from our server, Christian. The pea risotto was excellent and desserts, ooey gooey chocolate sponge and toffee caramel were rich, but delicious. Our server was very attentive and welcoming. He walked us through the menu, gave recommendations, and clarified questions. He had a wonderful balance of checking in consistently, but giving us privacy too. For someone who was new, we were really impressed with how much he elevated a nice lunch. The overall environment and ambiance was very much contemporary California, so a great place to be when the weather is nice. I'll definitely have to come back here for the Sunday roast.

What a great place for a group happy hour, or a date for two. The decor, the food, the service...all fabulous! Highly recommend the Rose Black Tea, the Cheddar & Chive Scones and the Fish n Chips. I will definitely be back to try the cocktails!

Really enjoyed the mix of flavors from this restaurant! Was pleasantly surprised with the Bits and Bobs like the Radishes in Butter, and their Spring Asparagus soup! Also took a bite of the beet salad somebody ordered at my table and I will absolutely be making a special trip back so I can get my own next time.
