    We enjoyed Del Mar SoCal Kitchen. The atmosphere, service and food was good. Happy hour half off drinks was nice. The amount of food you get for the price is the only thing holding me back from 5 stars. I will go back again.

    Went for Father’s Day and received very bad service. was seated then after a long wait a waitress brought us water & advised us another waiter would be over to care for us. The other waiter never came so I attempted to flag down the manager, and the bartender noticed us and asked if we needed drinks. I advised we needed more then drinks we needed to order. He said hold on he will get someone. After what look like a brief talk with the manager the bartender came back and said he will be out waiter and take our order The Bartender was able to take our food and beverage orders. But unfortunately he was not able to check on us properly get us water or drink orders. The 3 tables around us had wait staff and received needed attention On the way out I asked to speak with manager & told him our service was subpar and just bad. He said he was sorry I walked back to our table paid bill finished drinks and left. He never tried to make it right or see what the issue was.

    The food was really bland and not impressive at all for the price. If you do go I recommend getting a drink and just a simple burger or sandwich over an actually entree

    We went to Del Mar for the first time this weekend, and it was excellent! We haven’t been to a CM restaurant in over a year, due to a poor experience at Cap City-Gahanna, but this experience made up for it. We started with the Shrimp Ceviche and Guac, both were delicious and the chips were warm and fresh. My boyfriend ordered the fish sandwich, which was perfectly blackened. I had the power green salad with salmon, one of the best pieces of salmon I’ve ever had! Our friend has the beef tacos, she said they were great. Our server Maggie was excellent! We will definitely be back!

    Del Mar SoCal was a fun new place to experience! On the upside, they had fresh, creative, and tasty seafood dishes. There are not a lot of carbs to be had at this restaurant (ie no bread). The service was excellent. On the downside, our table was not ideal real estate- we were pretty close to our neighbors and could overhear their conversations without trying. I had to shout at my husband for him to be able to hear me. Our first choice wine was not available- but the olive oil cake was a pleasant surprise and a tasty ending to a delicious meal!!!

    Service was good (Mitchell). Food was not what I've come to expect from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. Nothing was BAD... just did not WOW any of the guests I took. I've never had a bad meal at any CM restaurant... And, although, I can't point to a specific issue or dish, the food at Del Mar SoCal Kitchen was just not what I've come to expect.

    This was our first time at Del Mar SoCal Kitchen. We went for had a reservation for dinner but went early for happy hour. The bartender was awesome. He was very busy but was still very attentive and the drinks were great. Dinner was wonderful. I had the Swordfish and my husband had the Fisherman's Stew and they were both so delicious! We loved the service and the atmosphere. I can't wait to go back!

    We love this place but had a bad experience last time with some miscommunication between the server and myself. The server was swamped and I let it go but was disappointed with my meal. This time I asked the server for an accomodation on an item (switching the omelet from SW to Denver and they did it with no issue and it was great. The cinnamon rolls were great as always as were the drinks. My wife's burrito was excellent too she said.
