Del Mar Socal Kitchen

Del Mar has to be one of my favorite restaurants in town. The food is amazing and the service is always great. I was finally able to catch the happy hour and I am so glad that I did. I tried almost everything on the menu! I tried the Fried Oyster, Potato Bread, Dynamite Roll, Barbacoa Taco, Del Mar Burger. Everything was hot and fresh and good! Our waitress was phenomenal , she allowed me and my guest to look through the menu. And just made sure we enjoyed our dinner. If you are looking for a sign to go to Del Mar! Look no further , this is your sign to go !! Can’t wait to come back.

Pastel was an amazing server she knew the menu frontward and backward which I really appreciated as an indecisive type of guest she was able to guide me to the perfect plate - the Crispy Skate phenomenal and highly recommend! The oysters were also delicious. Additionally I requested a Charo's Kick- a little known cocktail with unique ingredients. Upon providing the recipe to Pastel She was able to have the bartender execute to perfection. This is my first time in Columbus but whenever I return I will be coming back to Del Mar and I will be requesting pastel as a server - she is a true gem impeccable service coupled with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere equal a win of combination in my book!

We went for brunch hour on a Sunday, they had the doors open and it was wonderful for people watching. The food was great, especially the brioche french toast with strawberries. They ran out of the cinnamon rolls :( There was a cocktail that was very different but I enjoyed it (cucumber/lemon/mint type of thing). I'd love to come back for a dinner service with more menu offerings as the decor and ambiance were quite nice.

Great food, great service, but just a bit loud in the room for my tastes. The place is beautiful and the food exquisite. What can I say?...I'm older and prefer a quite atmosphere. I'll definitely be back on a Monday, or something less crazy than a Friday night. My server, Mai, was ACES! Professional, polite and there when needed. Awesome service. The food was amazing.

Pictures do not do this place justice. We experienced Del Mar for the first time last weekend, and it definitely exceeded our expectations. The aesthetic is beautiful. It's definitely a high-end feel without too high of a price point. We got the fried oysters and brussels for our appetizer and thought both we're excellent. We chose the cripsy skate and the chicken sandwich for our entrées and they we're excellent also. The service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, sweet, knowledgeable, and personable. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience, and I'm sure we will be back!
