Anigma is an exceptional experience from start to finish! The service is excellent, and the staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is elegant and classy, yet unique and interesting. The food is fantastic, and every drink is prepared to perfection. A wonderful combination of outstanding service, beautiful surroundings, and great food and cocktails. Highly recommend!

It was our first time there. We had known about it and wanted to go for a long time. The night we went was perfect for watching the sunset. We loved all the food we tried, and the drinks were great. Our server Jennifer was friendly and attentive, as were the others who brought out the food at times. Our only real complaint is the noise level of some of the other patrons who really could have kept their conversations more quiet in respect for the rest of us.

Fantastic immersive experience! The decor was fantastic (don’t skip the restroom lol). Everything is on theme, including the backstory, menu, etc. the drinks were terrific (I got something at “cruising speed” and still felt it. The food is different and so good! The perfect experience for a sci-fi and animal lover.

Our afternoon tea experience at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar was absolutely exceptional from beginning to end. Everything about the afternoon felt special, elegant, and beautifully done. The food was AMAZING — every bite was delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with so much care. The ambiance was equally incredible. The setting is gorgeous, refined, and luxurious while still feeling warm and inviting. It truly made the entire experience feel like such a treat. What really took the experience to another level, though, was the service. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the loveliest young woman at the entrance with the most gorgeous, welcoming smile. She immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a perfect afternoon. And then there was Andrea — WOW. She is an absolutely impeccable server. Gracious, attentive, warm, professional, and somehow always there exactly when we needed her without ever being intrusive. She made us feel so genuinely cared for and added so much to our experience. Service like Andrea’s is what turns a beautiful afternoon into a truly memorable one. Even our departure was wonderful! The valet team could not have been friendlier. Every person we encountered was warm, welcoming, efficient, and genuinely great at what they do. The Fairmont Grand Del Mar absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the incredible food and stunning atmosphere to the outstanding people who took care of us, every detail was perfection. This was far more than afternoon tea — it was an experience, and one we will absolutely be looking forward to enjoying again. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

Always a good experience to dine in we just had to bring my husband with our sons here for Father’s Day- my husband’s favorite place! Glad there was reservation available we went in without a wait. Fresh meats and sides as always!
