Jake's Del Mar

Salmon and stuff

The special Hula spork

Hula Pie enjoys one last view of the beach, then...

Jake’s Del Mar sits on the beach.  You can set your stuff up and keep an eye on it from Jake’s while you eat.  It is that close.  Jake’s is one of my favorites in San Diego.  My Del Mar routine is beach, wash feet, put sun dress over bathing suit, have lunch at Jake’s, return to beach.  It’s also one of the best restaurants to watch a sunset. 

I’ve been many times.  At my last visit, my friend had the Creative King Salmon, with brown rice, pea vines, grilled pineapple compote and herb yogurt.  I choose the Chef’s Burger.  I’ve never had a bad meal at Jake’s.  For dessert, we lost control and decided to split the Hula Pie.  It’s a monstrously large slab of ice cream pie, with chocolate sauce, whipped cream and macadamia nuts.  It isn’t very refined, but big and fun and meant for sharing and celebration.
