Amaya At Fairmont Grand Del Mar

Fancy golf course? Check. Fancy restaurant inside the resort? Check. Prices that match what you would expect? Check. Is the food good? Read on to find out more. My wife told me that a Michelin-starred restaurant was located at this golf resort, and no it is not this one. We decided to check it out for dinner anyway. The restaurant is located deep inside the Fairmont Golf Resort, which is gated, so you have to tell the gatekeeper that you are heading to the restaurant. Parking is valet only and there is a small fee of $7 to park. The restaurant is located one floor below the main lobby after you make a left in the foyer. The receptionist greeted us and promptly seated us. We had multiple wait...

I wish I would have known that Christmas lunch was a prix fixed menu of 225.00 per person. So disappointed in our experience at Amaya today. The service was great but the prix fixed menu was an unwanted surprise. The three offerings were not good but you felt you had to eat them because you had to pay so much money. We did not have any cocktails but one mocktail for my mother in law. The bill for three was 690.00 plus tax, plus 20% gratuity for a total of 888.00. We feel taken advantage of and we will not be going back again. The place was empty and I can understand why. Save yourself and be sure to ask what the price will be.

We love the Fairmont and have both stayed here and dined at Amaya. It's just a 3 hour dinner, with very little (and only decent) food for nearly $800 just didn't feel good to me. I've eaten at Amaya before and it was fine. I would just never do any special pre-fixed meals on holidays there again because I just didn't feel the value was there. And I don't mind spending $500 for two if the food, ambience, service, and customer experience is delivered. There are special times for these occasions. But last night, I just didn't experience the value and I believe they can do a lot better. It was a $350 experience at best, not an $800 one.

The menu is ridiculously overpriced. We have been coming to Amaya for years, mostly for lunch. But it never seemed so pricey. Our kids usually eat adult entrees, but because of the prices, they ordered off the kids menu. We ordered a bottle of wine that was twice the price that we pay at another local restaurant. We just felt gouged. No wonder the restaurant was just about empty on a holiday evening. Réservez une table maintenant

Very good food. Service was amiable but not always attentive. Entrees and sides were terrific. Spiny lobster soup was unremarkable. Everything seems a bit overpriced, but that may have more to do with the overall property than any choice of the restaurant itself.

I used to love this place but definitely not as good as I remember. Menu was very limited. Food was only ok and very pricey for the quality
