We had a very good Sunday brunch here today - delicious sea bass salad, eggs Benedict, and brioche french toast. Good service, nice ocean view (ask for an upstairs table).

Great location in Del Mar. Food is fresh, and sitting outside is quite lovely. It was a very enjoyable evening.

We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday evening in Del Mar and our usual favourites were all booked up and not taking walk-ins, so we decided to try Sbicca. We were pleased with the meal, although not as special as the booked out places, it was still very nice (and less expensive). There are sea views from some of... More

Of all of the places that I have eaten in Del Mar this one is my favorite. We went there twice to eat, once with my wife, our son and his wife and once more with just me & my wife. Each time the food and service was great. I will definitely be there again next time we are in... More

This is an American castle. You will feel like royalty at this hotel. We walked around the grounds wondering if it was a dream. This is a special place that will be one of those places you remember forever. Don't plan on leaving the grounds - there's no reason to leave!

We were a walk in group of three on a Sunday night. We were rapidly seated on the roof, which as wind breaks and heaters. Food was very approachable, ranging from burgers, to fried chicken, nice steaks. Blistered peppers were nice as a side. Waitress (younger woman, tall blonde) was very attentive and accurate. Wine list was petite but had... More

We'ved dined there twice before and we enjoy our experience each time. The first time was brunch which we thought was excellent food-wise with good service. Hash and eggs were a hit. Dinner the second time during sunset was wonderful as well but the service could have been better. This time there was improvement on the service and food remains... More

We had a great night at Sbicca and two great meals. My wife tried the newer menu item - fried chicken and was thrilled with how tender and juicy it was with a crispy, light crust. The mashed potatoes and greens were well prepared and very tasty. I tried the house specialty pork prime rib, and though I thought it... More

For a first time diner to a venue with an uncompromising reputation, we were suitably impressed with the overall dining experience. Featured wines were attractive with a variety of price points. The short rib dish was mouthwatering and the ultimate in "comfort food"; I would work on the vegetarian lasagna dish...not much more than a casserole of "potstickers". Service attentive... More

This review is by way of a catch-up thank you to Sbicca for so many great meals over many many years. The food is as exciting and faultless as our first meal here over a dozen (probably more!) years ago. The wine list is exemplary - crafted by Mr Sbicca I believe - and when you visit on a half-price... More
