Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Encinitas

Absolutely love coming here! Laid back SoCal fine dining with exceptional food, flavors, and service.

We absolutely love the ambiance here! The design and layout of the entire place is beautiful and spacious. I feel like they need a couple more fire pits outside so stay warm by. Its nice to arrive early and have a cocktail from the market around the fires. Grab some farm fresh items and freshly baked treats, sweet little market. The Haven restaurant upstairs is very nice and the service is top notch. The food is most certainly farm fresh and prepared wonderfully. We loved the prawns and hummus apps. I would say the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the meat both times I've been here. The short ribs were dry and a bit gamey because its grass fed, carrot finished beef. And the pork belly was tough and chewy, not sure why on that one. I prefer both to be bit more tender and juicy. The wine list here is also fairly eclectic, perhaps a few more known wines could be added. Other than that we enjoy this place very much and will be back to try more dinners!

The food is delicious and the service is old school. Everyone there wants to make sure your evening is perfect. We enjoyed spending our anniversary there, thank you.

Amaya is always a great spot, we enjoy going for brunch and sitting on the terrace. Besim provides excellent service and always makes us feel welcome! There is no better place for a relaxing and beautiful location to enjoy with your family or a large group.

worth every penny and every calorie - bravo chef bradley and staff!
