Great News! Goes Out..... Del Mar Rendezvous
The Great News! Goes Out article will feature Erika (General Manager), Kristin (Cooking School Director), and Kelsey (Cooking School Assistant Manager) as we sample various dishes around San Diego. Please feel free to recommend any restaurants you would like to see featured.
This month we ate at Rendezvous located in Del Mar. Rendezvous is a family owned and operated restaurant that offers a mix between upscale and casual dining. This restaurant comes from the same family of Dumpling Inn, Kahn's Cave and few others in San Diego so we knew the food was going to be phenomenal. An open kitchen allows guests to view all of the behind the scene action which is always special. We highly recommend that you make reservations ahead by calling in or visiting their website. We decided to go on their Wine Wednesday night special that offers half off bottles of wine. One of the most unique qualities of this restaurant is that they take special care of their customer's with dietary needs extending a full menu of Gluten Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
Knowing that Rendezvous is affliated with the Dumpling Inn, we were unable to resist the Steamed Pork Dumplings. They were presented in a bamboo steamer each twisted to a point with little bites of pork and broth inside the homemade dumpling. A hot bowl of soup is just what the weather called for so we ordered the Wor Wonton Soup made with shrimp, pork and vegetables served steaming hot. Homemade wontons were worth going back for.
Our waiter suggested the Singapore Chow Mein Fun, made with bbq pork, shrimp, and egg sautéed with bean sprouts, bell peppers, onions, and vermicelli noodles in a yellow curry sauce. The best part was that the Vermicelli soaked up all of the yellow curry sauce. These are not like any other noodles we have tasted.
The Walnut Shrimp contained fried jumbo shrimp sauteed in a creamy, sweet white sauce topped with caramelized walnuts. As the dish arrived, the sweet scent made our mouths water. The dish was not over sauced with the focus being on the crispy shrimp. Simply delicious.
