Best Live Music Restaurants in Rancho Santa Fe

Good food and nice time. Food well prepared and pleasant/efficient service

This restaurant is located in a perfect spot in Cardiff. The decor is lovely and truly speaks to a beach atmosphere. We had a gift card to use so we were able to try a lot of different dishes. They were all very tasty and the drinks are one of a kind. It is a pricey place, but every nice restaurant these days is pricey. My only complaint is the salad (arugula) that came with my fish was so heavily coated in salt that I couldn't eat it. It didn't seem right that it would even have salt on it so I don't know if it was in the dressing or a mistake. At any rate, the main dishes were very good. Our drinks did sit empty for half the meal so the waitress could have come by more often to ask if we wanted anything else. But overall, the ambience, overall decor, and vibe was lovely.

RLV is a win win from the minute you enter the gate. A warm greeting from the guard "thanking you for coming to RLV"...so nice. Menu wonderful, service outstanding and the food "damn good"!

Our yearly tradition did not disappoint! Next year, though I think I’m going to request to be in the main dining room. The music in the bar was too loud and a little hard for my mom who can’t hear well! 

We just stopped in for a bowl of soup and my husband also had some marinated mushrooms started going back to this restaurant a little while ago and always enjoyed their food and service
