J at SkyDeck

The staff is incredibly helpful and accommodating. Now that they are past the soft opening phase and have expanded their menu, I would highly recommend eating there. The food is delicious. Marys chicken, and the salmon entree were incredible. I am not normally a fan of lamb, but their lamb meatball appetizer is a must try!

The food was fine, but portions were small in the way that small things on big plates is trendy now. I liked being able to see the food being prepared through the windows, but whatever they were doing in there wasnt quite worth the price or long wait. We had the octopus, which was a little dry; the salmon, which was fine (risotto reminded me of a Trader Joes rice blend); and the chicken, which was our favorite. We also had and enjoyed the butter cake. The staff was very friendly. This is still their soft opening, and I wish them the best as they get a little more established!

Very good food. In my opinion the best food venue in Sky Deck in Del Mar. Should not be overlooked. S. Gounder MD

Absolutely had a blast here! As in its name, you'll find the restaurant in the SkyDeck food hall on the 2nd floor. Go towards the left side and it will be the 2nd restaurant past the street foods. I made a reservation beforehand (available on their website) and was quickly seated. Around 7PM, there were a couple tables available but the restaurant was definitely buzzing on a Friday night. The atmosphere was nice not only because it was in the cool SkyDeck area but the space itself felt distinct and modern. The bottles that lined the ceiling of this space definitely made it feel a bit more apart from the rest. Need to talk about the thing that absolutely won me over which was the service. The waiter was super chill and helpful, but when the wrong dish came out, he cooly told me that it was on the house and the kitchen was able to make the actual dish I ordered super quickly. Really appreciated that and no hassle so kudos to Sean for being awesome. Let's talk food. This place is a mix of New American and Mediterranean. I got to try the following: +J Burger: Pretty solid! The lamb burger didn't taste game-y at all and was really solid. Feta fries were also delicious // couldn't stop eating them when I should! +Center Cut Filet: The best item I had for sure. The filets were juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The veggies were super delicious and the the potato puree was a nice complement to it all. +Pita: Probably the weakest part of what I ordered. It was warm and not bad. But would have appreciated a side of olive oil or some hummus (or some other dip). They have an extensive wine menu and some beers - believe I got one of the pale ales.
