Richard Blais’ ability to think unconventionally is evident at his newest concept — California English. Located in the hub of a Class A Life Science campus, ideas meet provisions in the flourishing Sorrento Mesa neighborhood. The sentiment runs deep through California English’s deliberate approach to locally sourced ingredients, a friendly and cool-as-can-be staff, and an effortless undercurrent that not only represents California but feels like a piece of home to neighbors and travelers alike.

I always have a great time here. Craig, the bartender, is incredible and makes outstanding drinks — including some delicious off-the-menu mezcal creations.
Shellie, the new Executive Chef, clearly takes pride in her menu. You can taste the passion in every dish coming out of the kitchen. I’m especially excited about the possible addition of her beef tartare — it would be a fantastic new feature. Everything she and her team are producing is stellar (and their Taco Tuesday is definitely worth mentioning).
Marco, the GM, is personable, welcoming, and always offers great recommendations. The entire team delivers friendly, top-tier service. They’re absolutely crushing it, and I’ll definitely be back.

Absolute gem for afternoon tea! Portions were perfect—no one felt stuffed, but no one left hungry either. We went for a girls’ afternoon to celebrate my friend’s upcoming wedding, and the staff couldn’t have been more wonderful. They explained everything in detail, checked in just the right amount, and even surprised us with a cake and sparkler for the bride-to-be, which made the whole evening feel extra special.
The food was delicious (I’m still dreaming about that scone), and the atmosphere was cozy yet elegant. We loved it so much I came back for a dinner date with my husband, and the service and food were equally amazing. Beautifully decorated, great vibe, and something for everyone—highly recommend!

Excellent food and service! I had the Turkish Eggs and the Sticky Toffee + Date Cake — both were outstanding. Everyone at our table loved their dishes, and the service was great. The fish and chips are absolutely huge!

Great dinner at California English! Beautiful restaurant, love the mint green color palette and all the plants. All the food was amazing, we started with the hamachi crudo and for entrees had the salmon and short rib. The service was excellent; friendly and accommodating. The food came out relatively quick. Dog friendly! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, looks great for events too. Recommend!

Went for my bday. Went during happy hour not realizing the full menu wasn’t available until 5. BUT the one item I was looking forward to they made anyway. Everyone was very sweet. Chef Shell even stopped by our table. and they brought over a birthday treat. Definitely will be back to try more items. Absolutely loved this restaurant.

We had our San Diego Chrono monthly meet up here . The outdoor area we had was perfect. There was a live band and dancing right next to us.They even supplied us some wonderful appetizers of fish and chips. The burgers we ordered were very good.It’s also friendly for those of us that brought children. We can’t wait to come back soon!

Excellent food and service! Marco was exceptional managing the restaurant, and James our waiter was excellent. We tried various menu items, with the prime rib dip and fish and chips —both delicious and excellent! Marco also helped me get a personalized cook book signed by Chef Blais and in perfect time for a Father’s Day gift! We will def be back.

I walked in, looked around & immediately thought that’s a turn-up for the books. I was totally surprised at how delightful & uplifting A. E. was. A perfect mix from across the pond: their entree choices + *tea/booze – service*, the Cali green vibe with outdoor space, everything was posh, delightful & charming. The food holds it own in flavors, options & presentation. I’m definitely coming here more often.

Had my first visit to California English and it lived up to the hype! It’s a fun, quirky mix of British pub vibes and San Diego freshness.
Must-Order: The Fish & Chips (the avocado tartar is a game changer).
The Vibe: Bright, breezy, and very “Instagrammable.”
Experience: Great service and a killer gin cocktail list.
