We have been to California English a couple times for their happy hour & both times had a great experience. The ambiance is amazing & staff is very helpful. We went there for my birthday and everyone was so kind and they even gave me a deli
Went here today for happy hour.
It had a great vibe, but not a whole lot of people. We had a great bartender, Cole. Set us up for some happy hour drinks, soccer on tv, and dinner. I'm surprised there's not a whole lot more people. Just wished there's better gf option

If you're looking for the most expensive fish & chips anywhere, and it's going to be the first and last time eating here, then this place should be your top pick. Shared 1 order between 2 adults, very average quality and taste, over $35

I was very excited to try authentic British food in the heart of Sorrento Valley! California English is located near chick Fil A and the biotech company Insulet. I imagine this is a popular happy hour spot for biotech workers. There's a welcomi
Excellent food! Amazing service.
Lovely atmosphere They went over the top in care and concern about our experience - we came from the cemetery and they were patient, kind and giving. James our sever was great! As was the rest of the team. Seamless and delicious! Thank you!!!
Came here for restaurant week and it was amazing.
The seasonal soup had subtle flavor, but the ahi crisp was our favorite. It was on a battered and fried shiso leaf and avocado which was the perfect base. The fried fish was super crispy and came with SO MANY SAUCES!!! I love sauce!!!! My favorites w
California English is a hidden gem of a family friendly
California English is a hidden gem of a family friendly spot in Sorrento Valley. We frequent it for brunch, happy hour, and dinner with our baby and always have a great experience. Service is always outstanding and I truly appreciate how accommodatin
Great live music.
Great decor. Service a little slow and quite empty. Not a great lobster roll. Brioche cold, filling lacking, no big pieces of lobster.
I wish I could give half stars.
I would say 3.5 stars is more accurate. Came for the tea tower. Tea itself was great. The tower came with an assortment of desserts. The Madeleine was soft and pillowly. The tart reminded me of a less sweet snickers bar which was great. The cookie

We went here for the restaurant week and everything in the menu are good. Green salad is very good and refreshing. Short rib is very good, very tender and well seasoned. My friend also got the cauliflower curry and it is very good. I love the d
Hidden gem within Sorrento Mesa.
All of their appetizer from mushroom Bao bun to mini cucumber salad, chicken pop, prime rib, toffee pudding with gelato were so delicious. Customer service was on par as well. Their cocktails were divine and so pretty. Decor was so pretty inside.

We came on a Saturday at 4:45 which was right at the end of their tea time and before their dinner time. So we basically had the whole place for ourselves. Do call ahead and reserve the tea tower as they only serve it until 5pm. But check their websi

I finally made it in to dine at California English! The restaurant itself is stunning. Such a feast for the eyes. I enjoyed just sitting there looking at all the lines and patterns. The service was professional, thoughtful and friendly. I elected to
I love coming here for HH.
Tuesday to Saturday 3-6pm. At the bar or on their patio. Food and drinks are always on par. Service is excellent. The place is super cute and open. Plenty of parking. What's not to like.
Beautiful batter and great quality fish.
The chips were very tasty as well. I would have liked if the fish was seasoned better. Also did not care for any of the condiments on the side.

TLDR: If you want to do an english tea service here, come for the vibes not the food. Desserts are almost too sweet. Maybe eat something small before. I came here to have an english tea service meal with my boyfriend. The experience started with us

This little English oddity is firmly grounded in the middle of a local biotech hub. As you walk through the playful courtyard into the outdoor patio, you're quickly transported to a uniquely stylized gastropub. As intended (based on their websit
Went here with my girlfriend for our mid year anniversary.
The server even hooked us up with free drinks! We ordered so much food that I'm glad we got all the favorites. Very instagram worthy!

Can I just say- THANK YOU to Jade & Cole!! Although we had 4:15pm Thursday reservations- plans changed suddenly so we figured- Why not show up at 1:30pm instead?!! Even though I parked behind the building- I was blown away by the huge, simple, ye
Pretty solid food-chic ambience
Good fanfare of American foods right next to Sorrento Valley Tech center with Tony’s flair The interior deco was very chic - so I wondered if it was okay for business dining - but in the end good food is all that matters
Great experience!
I've had the pleasure of dining at California English before. It was my husband's first time. The food is always great. Their fresh chips are my favorite texture and taste so good. The pear and ricotta toast is craveable. Everything I hav
A great spot in San Diego!
This was one great dining experience. My sister, mother and I were in San Diego for a wedding and, being a Top Chef fan, I wanted to try Richard Blais' restaurant. We were there closer to closing time (6:30 on a Tuesday, the restaurant close
Delicious without making you feel stuffed!
Big fan of chef Richard Blais, so I’m so happy we had the opportunity to visit one of his restaurants. California English is true to California cuisine as lighter fare without sacrificing flavour. Great place to enjoy a quick bite or a lingering
I really like you, California English!
California English is a beautiful decorated restaurant in an inconspicuous area surrounded by businesses. I was pleasantly surprised when we walked up and saw the expansive lawn with games, gazebo and sitting areas. How fun! When we walked in, I lov
An excellent evening
TBH I was not expecting such a great experience. I’m English and thought it unlikely that the food would be that good. I was very impressed, as were my family. The scotch egg is a delight (share one between two), the fish and chips the best I’ve
Connect with users posting reservations for California English San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with California English San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to California English San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the California English San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at California English San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at California English San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
