Charmant
Innovant

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.

Hi Friends! My hubby and I attended the Arsenal watch party at California English and had such an amazing time that I wanted to share it with you. It was our first time enjoying California English and we are so glad we did! Not only are Arsenal fans the nicest folks you’ll meet but it turns out that Richard Blais is a fan too! The food, coffee, and cocktails are divine. The service was top notch and the light airy ambiance can’t be beat. We enjoyed the scotch egg and twice cooked chips as a starter. We ordered the scones and gravy, the banger Bennie, and the pear and ricotta toast as our mains. It was a lot of food and we enjoyed it all so much! If you’re an English soccer fan you should definitely check this place out. They have huge TVs around the bar area but this place by no means gives off sports bar vibes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and think you will too!

We FINALLY made it down from Carlsbad and took advantage of the “Proper Roast Dinner with Richard Blais.” Our first time here was well worth it! The restaurant is GORGEOUS! The staff, engaging and very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious prime rib dinner with wonderful sides. Everything was meticulously prepared and delicious! King Richard visited our table a few times which made our experience extra special. The sticky toffee and date cake with salted caramel ice cream is a MUST!!! Sooooo good! We will be back to try the famous ale battered cod and chips and the prime rib dip sando…

Caroline, Thanks so so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review and thank you for making the trip!!! I'm so glad knowing it was well worth it. Richard is the best and I'm glad he was here for your first visit. Please do come back for the fish and chips and prime dip sandwich, I may be biased but they're incredible. Warm Regards Brooke & the California English Team

Went for afternoon tea with some friends/work colleagues after work and had a great time! Service was fantastic-tea was tasty-crumpets were filling. There was live music which is always a treat. And at the end we got to chat a little with Chef Blais! I definitely recommend 100%

Michelle, I am glad you had a great time with your friends for tea time! We are constantly working hard to refine the offerings and what our Tea Time experience looks like here at California English - where we find the balance between both regions and all they have to offer. I love that Richard was in and you were able to meet him, he's the best!

Had the brunch experience. Food was amazing (of course), but the whole vibe from the service staff to the bar, to be the decor was so great. It's a hidden gem in an mainly office park space but that just means you have to know what you're looking for. Will add this to the date night list and try dinner next.

Paola, Thanks so much for stopping in for brunch! It makes me so happy to know service, food and ambiance were all hits contributing to your overall experience. I know we are thrilled at the opportunity to welcome you back for dinner! See you soon. Best, Brooke & the California English team

Overall the experience was wonderful, and the food was good. Just a couple of food things....the yorkshire pudding was a little underdone. It looked nice and brown on the outside but the inside still had some undercooked parts. A bit disappointing as that was one of the selling points of the Prime Rib dinner. Also, the prime rib came out on the cold side of warm. It was very tasty though so I didn't mind that it wasn't really warm, let alone hot. The Apple Galette was a little disappointing. My husband said it was bland, the apples tasted like dehydrated apples and had no texture, and there was no sauciness to it. For me, the apples were cut really small so the pieces that still had skin, that was all you tasted. Also, the apples were somewhat crunchy, which is surprising considering they were cut into tiny kid-size pieces. It also was not hot so the ice cream didn't get melty and saucy over the galette, and since there was such a small scoop, it didn't add any liquid to the somewhat dry apples. But again, overall the food was delicious and we had a wonderful dinner with friends.

Valerie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your overall evening with us and that the food was tasty, even with some areas that fell short of expectations. We appreciate your feedback on the Yorkshire pudding, Prime Rib, and Apple Galette. We’re sorry they didn’t arrive at their absolute best. We take pride in creating offerings that are flavorful and satisfying, and it sounds like we missed the opportunity to deliver that. I'll be sure to touch base with our kitchen team to ensure consistency in all dishes. We’re thrilled to hear you had a wonderful time with friends despite these hiccups. It’s our goal to provide not just good food but a memorable experience all around. Warm regards, Brooke Chief of Staff

Overpriced for what you get, came for the fish and chips, solid, but $30 for one piece, although larger than most, definitely not worth the hype. More for social media than for food
California EnglishA répondu le 21 novembre 2024
Hi, Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that we missed the mark on your recent experience. We are deeply intentional about the quality of our food and strive to ensure that every dish reflects the value we aim to deliver. It’s disappointing to know we fell short. While we take pride in creating a space that’s visually inviting, our top priority is providing an experience that goes far beyond aesthetics. Our Chef and kitchen team is dedicated to crafting dishes that are both memorable and enjoyable, and I truly hope this was an isolated incident. I would love the opportunity to welcome you back and personally oversee your next visit. I can promise you an experience we are not only capable of delivering but genuinely proud to provide. Best, Brooke Chief of Staff

My gfs and I have been to few tea places around and I feel tea time here was the most easily passable one. No one was keeping tea port warm, no one came to fill hot waters. They didn’t care to tell us different food options which were anyways very limited and not so delicious. Btw I mentioned we are celebrating birthday but no one even came to wish once. Kids menu was given without crayons and once her dish arrived, there were no silverware. I had to give her mine and that was too big for 2 year old. They charged 20% gratuity counting her but weren’t really showing any compassion for her. It is so sad when places do so and provide really horrible service. Not planning to go back
