"Went for the sunday brunch with a Travelzoo deal the brunch is regularly $85 per person; I think without the deal I thought it was a tad overpriced for what we received. However, we had a great time and I would recommend it, especially if you can get a discount. Pros: Excellent service! I can't say enough about the 5 star service. The wait staff was extremely great. They pour Chandon sparkling wine should I say more? Very nice and again 5 star. The food for the most part was tasty. I liked the seafood bar, which had nice size cocktail shrimp, ceviche, crab claws, ahi tuna, smoke fish and more. That was very nice and all was good. The omelet station had a good variety, though the chef was a bit slow on the orders and actually put my husband's omelet in a bowl instead of on a plate (new one for us). There was a waffle station as well and in the same area a large table with multiple desserts. The other main area had hot and cold food. There was a nice selection of salad items, fruit, rolls, cheese, etc. coffee and tea. There was a soup, lobster mac and cheese and another pasta dish. The asparagus was delicious. The pasta dishes just so=so. I was looking forward to trying the trout, but unfortunately it was just flavorless. Too bad. There was mashed potatoes and some short ribs. a chicken dish that did not look appetizing. There was a paella which was decent. Also some scrambled eggs and bacon/sausage options. What I thought was missing for the price some sort of carving station turkey, ham, roast beef, etc. Usually you expect something like that for the price. The setting was nice the Rancho Bernardo Inn, set amongst a neighborhood and the golf course was nice and the interior was comfortable. The room we sat in was super loud I'm sure the combo of freeing pouring sparkling wine contributed to that atmosphere. We were seated next to a party of 6 ladies, who were having lots of fun."

The seafood bar was one of the best I've ever experienced. Everything else was about what you's expect from a Sunday Brunch. Bacon was nice and Crispy, not flacid as is often the case at these events. The sausages were not memorable. The Trout was very good. Desserts were a cut above. Quite Pleasant, I'll go again.

I’ve always loved this restaurant the selection and the creativity is outstanding! However, I would be wary of the duck only because the way they serve it medium rare, which is normally fine for me makes it very tough. I think medium would’ve been a better choice. And unfortunately, the table they sat at while it was lovely and I was very happy with it. It was right underneath an air-conditioning unit. Our food got cold very very quickly. I had the strip sirloin, which was excellent outstanding the broccoli Robb, which I love normally was very tough the sauce they served with it was outstanding so you could only eat the broccoli part of the vegetable not the stem. It was so chewy you couldn’...

"Soichi is not our first Omakase experience, but it is the first one in San Diego that we have had. And what an amazing experience it was!Getting a reservation is key, especially if you want the bar. Our server was Marlon, and we told him we had just moved to SD and were celebrating our engagement anniversary. He was SO friendly and a willing conversationalist; we talked about everything from Ratatouille to the skeletal systems of the fish he was preparing. Not only that but Soichi himself also conversed with us and served us a little bit of sake. What a personality! Great presence, but humble and easy to talk to. The staff was amazing at welcoming us, taking care of us, and making sure we were enjoying our meal at every step.But if the staff was anything to appreciate, the food was even more spectacular. My husband and I have been together since college, so we’ve eaten Omakase in the Bay Area and Japan, but Soichi served us one of the best Omakase experiences on the West Coast. Our favorites were their black throated sea perch, amberjack, scallop, shrimp and fried shrimp head! , salmon, trigger fish, and golden eye red snapper; the snapper is so renowned that they sell a t-shirt of it, which we bought because we enjoyed it so much. All of the ingredients were presented beautifully — check the photos of you don’t believe me. But in addition to that, the fish was very fresh and prepared thoughtfully. The Omakase menu lets you really appreciated everything the seas of Japan have to offer.We paid for the $150 full experience, but added on two flights of sake $28 each flight for 3 different sakes and 4 additional nigiris each. It was a full meal! But we were so pleased with the service and care and quality of food that we ended up hanging around until we were the last customers in the restaurant. Soichi, this was our first visit but not our last.Big thanks to Lorena, Marlon, and Soichi himself for making tonight as special as it was. Our engagement anniversary could not have been better spent. Hoping to come back soon!"
