Living Room - DEL MAR

Fun vibes for a hotel lobby bar. Music occasionally and good drinks.

This place has a great handle on flavors. For a hotel restaurant with a spectacular view, I figured the food just needed to be good enough, but truthfully, everything was uniquely tasty! My favorites were the beet salad (with blue cheese and an almost sweet granola surprising and delicious! and the truffle fries. (A side order is pretty good sized! But I had to get the calamari appetizer to dip the fries in the green goddess dressing that comes with that. Perfection. The calamari was great too: really crispy (very battered with a full salad underneath with basil, calabrian peppers and a sort of sweet dressing. I could have had that and the fries as my dinner : D The fish tacos were really good: creamy sauce and a cucumber lemon angle that was really good. Best part though are the house made chips that are like an upscale take on Doritos: dusted with spices. We also got the octopus great grill flavor but just a tad chewy and the best part of the dish is the trio of sauces that come with it, including a spicy curry colored one that I loved.

The service could have been a bit faster, but the drinks were quite enjoyable. The ambiance was really nice, and the open concept design is definitely a highlight.

The service was somewhat slow, but the drinks were excellent. The atmosphere was really impressive, and the open concept is definitely worth experiencing.

This restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, combining elegance with a vibrant energy. It's a popular spot for both locals and visitors alike. I absolutely adore Lauberge!
