Adapté aux occasions spéciales

Located in the Sorrento Valley, California English is the newest culinary creation from celebrity chef, Richard Blais. Blais is creating an all-day menu for California English that’ll interpret classic British dishes through the lens of Southern California ingredients.
The idea is a fusion of sorts: the laid-back California lifestyle that makes San Diego so unique, mixed with a cozy pub convivial atmosphere where you can meet friends (or mates) for a pint after work, set up a client lunch with fresh oysters on the menu or have a cozy family dinner over a Sunday roast. Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes.
The effortless vibe of casual yet stylish makes for the perfect place to celebrate the joy of the unexpected coming together to make the perfect culinary match.

Beautifully decorated room open to the outdoors with plenty of light. Service and food were very good. There are some inventive twists on Southern California favorites and other items nod to the UK. We were very pleased with our brunch and will return. Parking is easy.

We went for high tea experience. Service was just ok- nothing great but they include the gratuity so maybe they feel like they don’t have to exceed any expectations. The food itself was good, sandwiches a little dry. The actual tea part was lacking- the water in the little tea pots would get cold super quick so would be nice if they could invest in proper tea pots for a “tea experience” We had to ask for water refill several times for the tea and tbh it was never that hot. I would not call this proper English tea - several other places in SD that do a better job. But if you want to have a relaxed tea & tower experience it’s ok .

My favorite cooking show is Next Level Chef. All other cooking shows are now boring for me and I was excited to try Richard Blais’s food for restaurant week. Considering I’ve watched him critique so many meals, scrutinizing every detail, I figured I’d extend him the same courtesy. The restaurant, while pretty, is located in and surrounded by shiny new office buildings which made me feel like I was eating in a mall. It lacks character, looks like all new restaurants with nothing that makes it stand out to me…besides the fake ferns. I had decided what I was eating already after seeing the restaurant week menu online, except they had upped the price when we got there. I had never eaten a Scotch egg and that was another reason I picked the restaurant. It was a delicious starter. Just enough spice, crispy on the outside, runny on the inside. It was all I imagined it to be but unfortunately it was mostly downhill from there. My friends soup, although creamy, was so bland I don’t even remember what type of soup it was. I had the short rib which had decent flavor, but was fatty (mouthfuls of fat) and cold when I got it. I regret not sending it back but even warm, I’m not sure it would have made much difference. The cornbread was cute, shaped like a corn on the cob, but also, cold. My friends ordered the fish and chips which looked good, a very generous portion of fish, but tasted like nothing. No flavor in the batter. Doughy and bland. We thought maybe it was intentional because they got a bunch of little dipping sauces to try with the fish…but regardless of the sauces, Richard would certainly criticize anything on his show that had no flavor. The fries were fries. The sticky pudding dessert was delicious, way too rich for my friends, so I brought it all home for me to eat. Overall, if this meal had been cooked for me on Next Level Chef, I would send Richard down to the middle kitchen. Not quite the basement, but certainly not next level either. Mediocre. Not going back.

Went for restaurant week. Place was empty and we waited a long time for anyone to come to table. There was lots of items unavailable on main menu. We ordered off restaurant week menu 3 of 4 appetiser’s arrived 4th never turned up u til asking 3 times. The salad was supposed to have shaved asparagus. When asked the 1 st person said they were running low so only a little added after a 3rf person came over finally admitted no asparagus in salad!!! Desert sticky toffee pudding was served cold. Overall an all round appalling experience

Four of us just ate at this restaurant and it was all fantastic. Nothing bad to say, food was the best, atmosphere was comfortable, and our bartender/waiter, Bruce, was right on top of the service, along with the pretty hostess. Will defineately return !

First time here. Ambiance was great, cocktails and tea were delicious. I was hoping there would be more savory items in the tea tower. Service can be improved, servers was not around when we needed them, check ins wasn’t there. The menu was not explained how it works

Hi Rain, I so appreciate this feedback and will touch base with the team. It is especially important to us that service is always efficient, warm and knowledgeable, so I do apologize this was not your experience. Please do give us another chance to ensure proper guidance through the menu and an overall great time. Best Brooke Chief of Staff
