Jake's Del Mar

My family had a Sunday Brunch at Jake’s Del Mar this week. The experience was interesting to say the least. The meal was excellent. Obviously, the location is almost unparalleled. The restaurant has great ambiance. It was a good experience and I would recommend the restaurant.
We got to the restaurant about 15 minutes after the rest of the family. The server was already serving a round of Mimosas and accidentally poured 5 mimosas down my back. They handled the issue very well. They gave me a T-shirt to change in to and took very good care of our table. In short, they did their best to try and make up for their mistake. As my father-in-law paid for the meal, I am unable to verify that they comp’d it, but they said that they would.
To start, the pastries were all excellent. There was a good selection and each one was very good. For my meal, I had the Vanilla Bean Custard French Toast. I can’t rave about this enough. It was a lot like a bread pudding with cinnamon raisin bread, raspberries, and strawberries. It was delicious. This also included their potato dish on the side which was also delicious.
My wife had the Eggs Benedict. Again, this was excellent and included the same potato dish that came with the French Toast. We both loved this dish as well.
The only down side to the experience was that my wife’s uncle asked for a side order of two scallops. This wasn’t the way they typically serve the dish. The server had a real hard time understanding what he was looking for (just 2) and I was a little frustrated by the back and forth required to order two scallops. Ultimately he ended up getting a plate of four scallops, which appeared to be their standard appetizer. I am not sure if this was intentional or a misunderstanding. In fact, they may have comp’d it. I don’t know.
All and all, I would whole heartedly recommend Jake’s Del Mar. I loved the meal and will definitely go back for more.
