Dinner at Rancho Valencia

This week is restaurant week in San Diego. So for the restaurant this year, we chose the Rancho Valencia at the Rancho Valencia Spa & Resort. Talk about a nice and swanky place. The menu was pretty good, filet mignon, crab cakes, grilled ahi, and vanilla creme brulee for some of us.

The trip to get there was quite stressful to say the least. Sometimes, having gps may help or not. GPS systems know that roads exists but they don't realize sometimes those roads have gates on them. Anyways what should have been a 20 minute drive turn into the 40 minute boondoggle. After much tension between my dad and I, we finally arrived at the restaurant.

Luckily the food was pretty good and we all had a pretty good time. The final bill came out to 320 with tax and tips. I guess next year, we should really map out the roads a little better.
