My only issue with this shopping center is that its hard to figure out what entrance you need to use to get to the store or restaurant youre trying to go to! This is a two tier outdoor center with some really great shops. Spend the day here and do the following: 1. Have breakfast at Snooze Eatery. 2. Go get a blow out at Dry Bar (be sure to make your appointment BEFORE you go - they book up quickly) 3. Go to Chuao Chocolates and get some sweet treats. 4. Eat your Chuao Chocolate while watching a #legsup movie! 5. Have an early dinner / late lunch at Searsucker Del Mar. 6. End your day buying your groceries for the week at Jimbos. Seriously, there are so many stores here you could easily spend an entire day having fun at this one shopping center STARTING with breakfast.

Many good, but almost always busy, shops and restaurants. I think a new parking lot is being built to alleviate the pressure, since it is impossible to find a spot anytime around lunch or dinner. Cineopolis is nice, but very expensive. Good experience though. For nice dining go to Mia Francescas. If you are from Chicago this is the same chain. Its a more upscale place with a great selection of food. The Rubios and WhichWich are always packed and super busy (even in "off times"). If you live in the area, this is really your only choice of a shopping center anyways, and it has just about everything you need.

It seems like security has gone downhill quickly, It looks like a lot of new people and they dont know what they are doing. Trying to find parking is a joke. Then there is the shuttle driver that will lecture your kids on what to do and how you should parent your kids. Mind your own business and drive the shuttle. I use to go to this place all the time. Cant wait for them to start building the new one across the way.

This shopping center has some.of the most unique options for food, a high class movie theatre, and plenty of smaller boutiques for the wifey to enjoy. A splash pad type fountain is great in the summer for the little ones. New parking structures and retail shops are being added right now and we cant wait for it to open!

Lady that checked us in was not personal. We felt like just a number. Thought by giving us cookies it would make up for her snobby attitude. Lobby under construction and looked very shabby. Had to pay for parking and the parking was in the back looked someone elses business. Very unprofessional.

Many good shops in a large complex centered around a Ralphs and a Cenopolis. Food selection from fast food to upscale bar to Italian cuisine. Theres a kid-friendly fountain feature with plenty of seating. Some construction at this time to resolve their parking woes and expand the cinema.

Great place to hang out as there is much to do and many places to go. Parking used to be a disaster, but now they added a parking structure in the back, to relieve the parking issue. Overall awesome shopping center to go to, wether you are looking for food, clothes, or just a good time.

It is great plaza and becomes more and more diverse now. It got some unique clothing stores and some good restaurants like Carnita, urban plate, and great grocery store like jimbo. In addition, there is a fountain in front of a yogurt store which makes great atmosphere in the evening

I generally like this shopping center with one exception - people dont really know how to look when they cross the street. As a result, you often find high schoolers and DelMartian stay-at-home moms darting out in front of you as you drive through the parking lot.

Great new shopping plaza in Carmel Valley. More and more place opening to eat like Luna Grill, Fresh Bros, and Westroot Tavern. The plaza itself isnt very walk friendly and the clean air vehicle spots are almost always taken by non-clean area vehicles.

They no longer have a La Salsa. Whats goimg on with La Salsa? It was my favorite Mexican chain. There is still a Rubios, a Ralphs, and a sushi restaurant. For environmental reasons, nows not a good time to become a fan of sushi, if you arent already.

I really like this area. It gets crowded, but has a lot of stores, restaurants the best movie theater in town. You can get around spending little money or a lot depending on how you feel. Its definitely an upscale shopping area that has great charm!

The shopping center has a good variety. There could be more service-oriented options, but I do appreciate the boutique shops. Parking is always an issue, because there are not enough spaces for the crowds. However, they are building a new structure.

I love coming here. The restaurants are amazing. The grocery stores cater to everyones needs. If you feel like catching a movie there is a cinema that serves food and alcohol. There are a good selection of clothing stores as well.

High end spot for the locals. Heavily visited by non-locals for the restaurants. Parking can get annoying. I like getting groceries at Ralphs and eating over at Urban Plates. Carnitas Snack Shack also opened a spot in here.

Lots of good shops, the parking is the only big downfall. The whole community comes here so there is always a shortage on parking but not to the point of tragedy, more of a constant annoyance if you go there regularly.

Used to frequent this center but they are nonrenewing lease for Red Robin effective end of May 2012. We will not go back after it closes. Good luck to all the friendly people at Red Robin. See you at UTC or Escondido.

Great shopping center, I love the variety of shops here! Parking is usually not bad but it does get busy on weekends and during normal peak afternoon/evening hours due to the number of restaurants and shops.

Parking can be problematic during lunch hours, especially with new construction taking place in 2016. There is a nice mix of family friendly restaurants and upscale eclectic shops, and movie theater.

Coleman Vurbeff

Cool area that has a bunch of nice stores and restaurants. I suggest Snooze if you want a breakfast/brunch spot, and Cinepolis for movies and dinner! Worth a try if you want a solid shopping center.

Nina Ruth Bruno

Such a clean and relaxing place, and so many great restaurants and stores. Sometimes on a weekend, or a Friday evening, the parking lot can be a bit tricky, but I know that they are working on that.

Lovely place. This mall has almost all my restaurants and stores. Love their seating area that look right over a small plaza and you can cozy yourself in soft chairs. Simply nice place to hang out.

R Schwartz

So many good places to eat! And there are some good shops and stores too. The shopping center can get pretty busy during peak times, so give yourself time to circle the lot looking for parking.

Aaron Shi

OK mall, no Nordstrom or anything like that here, mostly family-owned or startup shops. Does look like a Westfield and a has a great Cinepolis luxury movie theater on the upper level, however.

Daniel Walker

Its upscale, clean, friendly to window shopping and walking around. Some good food options from fast food to sit down style restaurants. There is also a fountain and a movie theatre.

The parking situation here is insane. I really hesitate going there and try to avoid it. The doors and shops are great but the parking makes it just not worth going there.
