Del Mar Travel Guide

"You'll never believe you're in" the Marriott Del Mar when you "treat" yourself to this destination's "inventive", "beautifully prepared", "foodie-quality" New American cuisine imbued with "contrasting flavors" that "never fail to work" – and though the "servings aren't large", "they always satisfy"; a "rockin' wine selection" and "professional" staffers add to the "wonderful experience" – in fact, the "average decor" and "odd hotel setting" are "the only weaknesses"; N.B. the presence of a new chef may outdate the Food score.

"You'll be in splurge heaven" at these branches of the "ultimate steakhouse" chain, "a cut above" for "generous portions" of "sizzling", "buttery" beef "prepared exactly" to your specifications, "solid seafood" and "scrumptious sides" "served family-style"; the "polished" staff "will not rush you", and as "bonuses", the patio Downtown "overlooks the bay", while Del Mar's windows "offer gorgeous views at sunset."
