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.

We went for tea and it was disappointing. The tea water wasn’t hot enough and the food was a bit too much of a “California twist” on normal British tea food.

Ordered the Scotch Egg and Fish & Chips. Found them to be lacking which is sad. The Scotch Egg was a rough facsimile of the English favourite, being delivered in a hot sauce with a whipped honey. If you can’t get the basics right then slapping a lot of other things on it won’t help. All in for a pork sausage wrapped egg it was good, but not a true scotch egg. The Fish and Chips was at best mid. The fish was over battered and while crisp fell to the American doughy stodge that happens when the fish is prepared incorrectly. Also whoever runs the fryer it’s golden brown not mahogany brown on the fish. The twice fried fries were not good. Then a dizzying array of sides just again smacked of not nailing the source material and making up for it with too much pizzazz. For those thinking I’m a negative Nelly the place is a solid 3/5. Not worth the massive cost for the Fish and Chips but at least a one off check in.

Mike, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! We're sorry to hear that our Scotch egg and fish & chips didn’t meet your expectations, especially since we take pride in bringing classic dishes to life with our own twist. We understand that authenticity is important, and your thoughts will be shared with our team for review. We certainly aim for a golden brown, crisp finish on our fish, so we regret this wasn't what you received. We appreciate your honest review and hope that you'll consider visiting us again. If you do, we'd love the chance to provide a more enjoyable experience. Brooke Chief of Staff

Really disappointed. Fish and chips specialty wasn't all that. $55 per person plus a cocktail brought the tab to over $175. Wow! Service was good, but what is the trend of people to utter "of course" as answer to pretty much everything? A simple "thank you" or "you're welcome" would suffice.

Linda, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience with our fish and chips didn’t meet your expectations, especially as it’s one of our specialties. We take pride in providing high-quality food and service, and we regret that you felt the meal didn’t reflect the value. We sure hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future! If there's anything we can do to enhance your next visit, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Brooke Chief of Staff

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.

Donna, Thank you so much! I appreciate the time you took to leave us such a kind review. I am pleased that the UK and Californian fusion was noticeable, our team really tries to find the balance of the two while merging tradition and modernity together all in a dining experience. Can't wait to see you again in the near future. Say hello next time you are in! Brooke and the California English team

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 .

Nina, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on our tea time experience. We're sorry that the service and tea didn’t live up to your expectations. We strive to provide attentive and warm service every time, and I regret that this wasn’t the case during your visit. Your feedback about the tea pots and water temperature is invaluable, and we will certainly look into upgrading our tea service to provide a more authentic and enjoyable experience. We also apologize for the inconvenience of having to ask for refills multiple times—this is something we will address with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope to have the chance to offer you an improved experience in the future. Best, Brooke Chief of Staff
