J at SkyDeck

The food and service are top notch. We've eaten everything on the menu during our multiple visits. So many favorites!! Always fresh
and beautifully prepared. Staff is the best ...professional and friendly... Best restaurant in Del Mar!!!

Such a welcoming restaurant with wonderful service! After looking at all the menus at Sky Deck we decided to try J ! The hummus dips were so good and you can get them with veggies or pita. The sous vide lamp chops were incredible and so was the potato puree! Great wine selection as well. Super comfy dining chairs, too :).

The staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating. Now that they are past the soft opening phase and have expanded their menu, I would highly recommend eating there. The food is delicious. Mary’s chicken, and the salmon entree were incredible. I am not normally a fan of lamb, but their lamb meatball appetizer is a must try!

The food was fine, but portions were small in the way that “small things on big plates” is trendy now. I liked being able to see the food being prepared through the windows, but whatever they were doing in there wasn’t quite worth the price or long wait. We had the octopus, which was a little dry; the salmon, which was fine (risotto reminded me of a Trader Joe’s rice blend); and the chicken, which was our favorite. We also had and enjoyed the butter cake. The staff was very friendly. This is still their soft opening, and I wish them the best as they get a little more established!

Disclaimer I haven’t actually tried it yet, but I just wanted to post some pictures and add this place in Google Map so the world knows this place is opened for business as of August 2021.

This place is located inside the Sky Deck. Very nice decor and upscale atmosphere.

Due to staff shortage, it’s possible that they (as well as other restaurants in Sky Deck) might be closed temporarily on Mondays. Call ahead just to be sure.

I’ll update my review once I try it. 😁
