Ember & Rye

Well I did not think I would love this place going into it, but with this said this is a very nice restaurant the food is absolutely awesome it was probably the best rack of lamb I've ever had. Everyone in here was very nice right from walking into the door to the table and back out to the door. They have interesting drinks here. Our waiter was very good also and seemed to have a lot of knowledge of the menu. We definitely ordered too much food but good thing is we had enough for dinner the next day. One last thing the views here are very stunning.

Our anniversary dinner at the Aviara Golf Club clubhouse was one of our most memorable dining experiences to date. The atmosphere is stunning—modern, upscale, and bright with beautiful views of the grounds. The service truly set the evening apart. Our server, Erica, was exceptional; she guided us through the specials and helped us curate the perfect assortment of dishes to share. Following her lead, we had the spiny lobster and Australian Wagyu, both of which were amazing and the clear stars of the meal. The cocktails and garlic croissants were a great start as well, and the kitchen even treated us to a delicious chocolate mousse cake to celebrate our anniversary. If you want a refined meal with top-tier service, this is the spot, and we're looking forward to returning soon!

My girlfriend and I had a lovely lunch during the SD Restaurant week. The 3 course menu had excellent options for $40 each. She had the pear and beet salad starter, bucatini pasta main, and lemon yuzu dessert. I had the calamari starter, steak frites main, and S’mores cake for dessert. All were fantastic overlooking the nearby golf course and Batiquitos lagoon! My favorite bites were the crispy calamari and the lemon yuzu parfait. Will definitely be back!

This restaurant has amazing views of the Aviara golf course and we've visited the past few years even before they changed the name to Ember & Rye. Maria, Letty and Leo are friendly and helpful in seating us at an outdoor table with good shades and taking care of us. They paid attention to fill up our iced tea and water. It's very dog friendly, our furry friend got a bowl of water as well. We ordered calamari fritti (the size is smaller over the years), beet and pear salad (very good & refreshing), Caesar salad (artichoke is a good ingredient) is a bit over dressed, the pastrami sandwich (good fries, excellent kimchi sauce, but the pastrami itself is a bit tough) and pear pavlova (the cream tastes like curd, the meringue topping is hard). We didn't order steak this time which is their forte

I didn’t want to like this place . But it started off with garlic croissants for the table and I knew I was a goner . The drinks are well balanced with a huge variety go choose from . The staff made us feel right at home and just lavished us with attention . Our server, Erica , was awesome . Her recommendations were spot on . We shared a lot of apps and none of them were disappointing. I got a perfectly seared and flavorful steak . I’ll be swinging by for the happy hour . I hear great things . Treat yo self !
